I’m starting to feel as though I should have never purchased Heavenly Sword despite how much fun I had with the title. Ninja Theory is once again letting the media know how indirectly unfair the launch of the PlayStation 3 and in turn, Heavenly Sword, was for them as an exclusive developer. To be honest, all of this crying and excuse making is getting a little old.
It seems every other week, Tameem Antoniades of Ninja Theory, is complaining about their first title into this generation of gaming. The problem with his constant complaining is that it’s often to appease the 360 fanboy crowd to show them that their past relationship with Sony was rocky, so show them what 360 gamers can do by purchasing their product.
This time around, he’s complaining to Xbox World 360 about his hard life as a studio owner:
“I personally feel much more comfortable now we’re lower profile. It’s better to be the underdog so you can surpass expectations. I think all the hype surrounding PlayStation 3 wasn’t particularly enjoyable for us, and the other reason I like to underplay things is that – despite what anybody says – on a creative project, you just never know if it’s gonna work until it all comes together right at the very end.”
Get over it already. Deliver Enslaved to the masses, hope it works out, and just move on.
Wah. :’(
@one-Shot
I believe he was asked about the expectations for Enslaved (which he answers in the first sentence..)…then he rambled on to moan about the rest.
Who cares…………..enslaved is gonna be so shite!! Worst game of the year, mark my words!
i still dont get their last complains
ninja teory said that (SOMEHOW) they lost money on hewenly sword (despithe HS selling over 1.5 milion copies and reciving a platinum re-release)
and they said that the 360 has ower 50% of the entire market (witch is bullshit since the ps2 sold about 150 milion units, and i bet not ewen that was enough to win the ps2 the 50% share of a market that includes wii, ds, psp ps3, 360, ps2 and pc)
ninja teory made a great game, and they were sucsesfull, despite theire game being a lanch title and an exclusive
what are they complaining about
Its not like Sony forced you to make a game for the Ps3. And its kinda your fault to assume the Ps3 would be on top when it launched a year later then the 360. Ninja Theory you had a great game. It was awesome to play but it was 6 hours and thats prob why you got 7.5-8 i personaly think its an 8 because it was short i had fun and then it ended which made me sad. Stop crying! You had the power to make it better!
Well, the only thing this guy has accomplished with these stupid comments, is that I am guaranteed not to buy their next game either.
I totally agree. It’s like he tries to complain about the financial side of Heavenly Sword at every opportunity, often in cases where it barely even seems relevant.
