New Red Steel 2 Info
The June 2009 issue of Nintendo Power reveals some new info on Red Steel 2, the Ubisoft Wii exclusive title. If you’re like me, you cried a little when you notice you didn’t have 1:1 movements with your sword in the original game. It looks like they fixed this in the sequel, by adding WiiMotion plus support.
Joystiq also reports that it’s going to be a wild west theme.

Well the cover picture looks great, can’t wait for some screenshots. Also, it has nothing to do with this, but Spyborgs is looking slick.

Maybe it’s just me, but the layout of that page looks pretty bad in my opinion. Really random thing to point out, I know, but it just seems untidy.
Besides that, my memories of Red Steel are pretty unspectacular – One being when the game froze from an overdose of uzi rounds being fired into a glass panel, and of the multiplayer that was clearly not thought out properly. (Some of the maps are ridiculously huge and contain far too many secluded areas for a 4-player FPS)
On a positive note, I’m looking forwards to trying this. I’ll certainly have no problems setting aside any issues I had with the original to see the concept they
began with executed properly. =P

That’s it right there…Red Steel, buggy though it was, had loads of potential…if the sequel realizes the ideas of the first one but with the polish and lack of bugs the first should have had, it could be a hell of a game.

Nintendo sucks I’m getting a 360.

That’s interesting. Tell me more, sir.

they better keep that sick bounty hunting multiplayer mode. Most 4-player frenzied fun I’ve had on Wii

Looks dumb. Cel-Shade is fine, but not for FPS/Action games.
Apparently it’s rated Teen too. Ugh.
I could care less about gore/violence, but when I shoot something I want a realistic level of blood.

@FIZBAN: Too bad for you, it looks like it’s been confirmed there will be no multiplayer in RS2.

@Infy: Are you stupid? That layout is fucking nice!
Infy on May 2, 2009 at 12:07 pm
Well, to be honest it wouldn’t make me stupid, even if we had conflicting opinions. Besides that, I’ve been studying composition and structures of magazine layouts for the past year at school, so maybe I’m paying too much attention to minor details.
Anyway, yeah, I probably am stupid.

I thought the cover looked a mess and the brown and red together. Ugh.
Hokku: Nintendo isn’t making this game so while you may think they suck it isn’t really relevant to this story.
Benny: Maybe there is a realistic amount of blood but since it is cell-shaded that is why it can get a teen rating? Anyway, if that is how you rate games you must have some stinkers in your collection and have missed out on some real gems.
