@justthatgamer. In belated response to your comment, yes I mean SSM. I like both the GOW and HS series and I thought they would be the best devs to do a sequel to HS (since the original devs are busy at the moment) and alternate this with the GOW series. My point was I would have preferred this over a prequel which will likely not get as many sales as the main series. I also think you are a bit confused - you mention HS as being mediocre but then say that SSM could make it and potentially see 3M+ sales. Message | Report |

@fauzman Who do you mean by 'they'? Sony Santa Monica? I'm guessing so otherwise why would you mention God of War: Ascension. Anyway God of War III is the most acclaimed and best selling game in the genre of all time so why would anyone want a sequel the the mediocre Heavenly Sword over a new God of War game? Maybe when SSM finish GoW:A they could make Heavenly Sword 2 a launch game for the PS4 as a teaser for what a next gen God of War game could be like. I reckon if Sony Santa Monica made Heavenly Sword 2 it would sell > 3 million. Message | Report |

This game was probably played by over 2 million ppl. We have to take into account used sales that don't count for publishers. Having that in mind it is even stranger that there is no sequel because it would sell easly 2 million in 12 months.Compare Uncharted 1 and MAss Effect 1 with sequels of those games. Just imagine HS2 fixing probelms this game had + making it longer. Message | Report |

The game kinda short, but still great. Worth 30$, but somehow, Sony probably forgot about this game, if they are not making a platinum in NA for so long time. I wonder, if anyone could contact Sony and tell them. I think, additional 200-300k in NA this would sell. Message | Report |
