Namco Professes Confidence In Ninja Theory's Enslaved
EnslavedWhile many action games wish to emulate the greatness of God of War, many third-person experiences put titles like Uncharted 2: Among Thieves at the top of their inspiration list.
The publisher admits that Naughty Dog's 2009 Game of the Year winner "is the mindset" Ninja Theory utilized for their upcoming game, Enslaved. Namco Bandai Partners VP Olivier Comte told CVG said the project is "priority number one" for them this year, and the team most certainly had Uncharted 2 in the back's of their minds as they continued to work on Enslaved. Said Comte:
"We have two flagship titles that will be very, very important for us - especially for UK - which are Test Drive Unlimited 2 and Enslaved. We are very, very optimistic about Enslaved. For me, it's come from the heart. This is a game I was expecting my company to develop since I arrived here.
I'm a very big fan of Uncharted and we have to admit that it's in the mindset of games like that. The game has a unique atmosphere, the characters are fantastic... I love the game."
For more information on the game in question, make sure to check out our preview, and also make sure to watch the exclusive debut trailer. You will see some artistic similarities to Heavenly Sword and it may feature some of the intensity from the Nathan Drake adventures. We're awfully excited to see more in the future, so stay tuned.

And so far the trailer/screenshots don't make me believe that.
So far it really looks like a cliche storyline with a person you have to babysit.
Maybe it'll be good, but so far it doesn't excite me like Heavenly Sword. Still remember replaying the E3 HS vids at least once per day....

The graphics on Enslaved are not looking any better than HS IMHO, I believe they reused the same engine with very little if any improvements :(
As long as the game play is good and the art direction and level design are topnotch, I'll be giving it a try for sure.

Like many others I am undecided as to weather or not this game is worth buying. It is true that a company capable of producing a quality games like HS shouldn't completely fail, but I do not have high hopes. However, if they truly kept Uncharted 2 in mind with the origonal artistic ability of HS it could turn out to be a fairly decent title.
There's a lot to say on both sides, just going to have to wait and see I guess :)
