Red Steel 2 First Trailer

[dinofan01]

Okay it doesn't seem to be in-game graphics. But at least we get an idea of what the game will look like. I'm staying cautiously optimistic. I know Ubisoft is actually putting alot of effort into this game but I'm really not seeing anything definite yet. Hope we see more at E3.

What are you talking about?

 

[War]

That was pretty kick-ass, but I need some in-game footage before I can be impressed.

 

[CockroachMan]

From what I've seen on Nintendo Power.. that's supposed to be ingame!

But.. Ubisoft already photoshoped videos and images on the first Red Steel to make them look better, so.. I won't believe it until I see a real gameplay video

Still, looks pretty cool

 

[Edgedancer]

I know that they edited some of the pics for the first red steel but ubisoft wouldn't be dumb enough to do that again.

Good teaser, maybe this might be a big improvement from the previous title.

Imma add up some new details about red steel 2

- some aspect of leveling up your character
- gun and sword combos
- “RS2 is tightly focused on intensely physical first person sword fighting, with gunplay a secondary option”
- hold Z to lock onto enemy
- hold down C and swing to block, vertical and horizontal blocks
- switch lock-on at any time
- screen prompts you if you’re being attacked from behind. Press A to quick-turn in this situation
- many enemies wear bulletproof armor
- not open world
- not a linear game, multiple paths to take
- several hub-worlds
- side quests
- collectibles
- return to old areas with new powers and abilities
-”non-combat use of MotionPlus wont be limited to opening doors”
- boss fights
- production began last summer
- Ubisoft discussing the lack of multiplayer: “We would love to create a multiplayer engine, but not right now. It’s single player because we want to really focus on the core mechanic and as much as we all want to kill each other with swords, it’s not going to happen this time.
- Ubisoft on releasing a multiplayer mode through DLC: “That would be cool. The world has changed, and we can do that sort of thing. I certainly think that would be cool. I’d buy it. But we need to be careful bringing out something that people think should be in the main game.”

Just saw the video too and it's looking very bad ass! The cell shading looks pretty nice, I can't wait for more details and release date about this game.

Hopefully this is actually a good FPS or action game in its own right rather than a cheap cash-in on Wii controls like the original.

I'm optimistic.

Pretty sure that IS in-game footage. They're using their LyN engine, I believe, to achieve those visuals. Very impressive.

 

[Trolly]

Wow, looks fantastic and could potentially be very cool. Hopefully the

“RS2 is tightly focused on intensely physical first person sword fighting, with gunplay a secondary option”

comment doesn't mean this turns into a mindless hack 'n' slash.

It does appear the game will be sword focused rather then gun play. I'm curious to know how and if you can just equip you gun quickly. Oh and the enemy blocks bullets with his sword. Maybe we can too?

Very nice graphics, if that's for real....
Damn, that looked really nice actually

Hopefully this is actually a good FPS or action game in its own right rather than a cheap cash-in on Wii controls like the original.

I'm optimistic.

Except the first game was NOT a "cheap cash-in." It was intended to be the ultimate FPS experience, to showcase the brilliance of the Wii controller with the 1:1 control that was originally promised. Then, as it turned out, the Wiimote did not deliver on said promise and Ubisoft had to recode everything. Then they had to rush the development to get it out the door as a launch title. That's why it was so ugly and the controls were so painful (also, why they felt the need to photoshop their screenshots). I'm not saying they should have done it, but to say the first game was simply a "cash-in" is just plain incorrect and outstandingly ignorant (especially since it was basically Nintendo's fault it sucked).

Ubisoft has had one terrible experience and two years to develop this game, I find it very hard to believe they will fuck this up. Yes, they have put out a LOT of shovelware BS, but they have also created some pretty terrific games. I'm a little cautious about it, but with Ubisoft's experience and the amount of FPSs that have been released on the Wii they would have to be completely daft to not make it at least a decent game.

EDIT: Also, the trailer looks fantastic. I love the style and I'd be willing to bet the game looks like that. It's certainly not beyond the Wii's capabilities.
