Heavenly Sword: character design and combat system
Following in the wake of an interview with Andy Serkis, we now hear more from Ninja Theory and their feisty PS3 title, Heavenly Sword. We’ve got two videos today from ThreeSpeech, one on character design, the other on combat systems.
We’ve embedded the first video below, as found on GameTrailers. In it, ThreeSpeech gets the 411 from lead character artist Laura Kippax. She talks about how she was able to directly work on modelling and designing everything about Nariko (from the hair to the martial arts). Not only that, but we also get a glimpse of what seems to be Nariko’s “partner.”
Hey, if Xena had a Gabrielle, Nariko should definitely have a Kai… Check it out:
Now we could also embed the other video interview – the one on combat systems, with lead combat designer Sia Tong Man. However, we’d have to leave that behind the jump. Some of you guys may have heard about the combat system before, but as usual, you can also find some new game footage every now and then in these vids, so keep your eyes peeled!
