I used to be hyped for this game, but I'm quickly losing interest.

i like that trailer

So you made a thread that caused a big to do saying the "end of hope" talking about it being on rails only to now say the game looks terrible now.

How the hell the gameplay looks like Wario Ware beats the hell out of me, I'm pretty sure you're taking the demonstration more literally than it should be, it shows you how it cuts how you instruct it to despite older videos didn't show that >_> and you even posted one of those videos...

Well, if you want something positive about the trailers, they pretty much shows the there´s nothing "on rails" about this game. there´s even a small scene where the hero circulates a giant foe, something that´s impossible in a on-rails game.

But aside from that, talk about some bad news in this trailer!

First thing everybody thought about this game was "finally, a 1-on-1 hardcore swordfighting game. Halleluya. Took only 3 years, but here it is. With god blessed motion plus support"

Then comes this video. It shows that there´s no 1-on-1 swordplay. There´s just a "draw your slash" mechanic.

Check 0:28. You draw a bizarrely blue line with the wiimote pointer (please notice: there´s even a cursor shaped like a little sword), wait a few seconds and your character slashes that point of the screen.

And that´s it.

Back at that first 15seconds trailer, i took a print that showed the blue line. But we had no idea...

(here, a small print screen from the first 15seconds trailer)

So yeah, with the latest trailer, the game looks worse than ever.

Motion plus is probably only used for aditional features, i dont know, like a stupid WASP like in that horrible Avatar game.

What a waste. Motion plus is probably the greatest thing on nintendo wii and it still lacks a real game.

its not on rails its just a very linear game , if it was on rails , why the hell there is a radar os the screen ?

I think that the blue line is for for demonstrate for non-gamers what they suppose to be doing in game , cuz the action is sow freaking fast , and you dont draw a thing ... and WARIO WAR ? WTF ?

In that second scan, it looks like you can chose a battle or something on a worldmap.

It's art is fairly japanese but indeed nice.

Nope Soriku. Sorry. This is only wishful thinking. Check the trailer again. The blue line is drawn, the character slashes that point a few seconds later.

0:31 shows it pretty well.

Damn, and this was a game that i was really looking forward to! Now there´s only Red Steel 2

It's basically the only instance though.  There's far more footage of slashing with no lines at all, so it's more likely than not just one of the optional setups.  I'm betting on several optional methods to choose from (IR line drawing, motion sensing, motion + sensing, 2nd analog line drawing) given the variety of controller options already given (Wiimote, Wiimote+nunchuck, Wiimote+nunchuck+Motion+, Classic Controller/Pro).

Just take a look at the multiplayer. 

You see the characters? I don't think it's an on-rails.
