The original Red Steel was IMO a piece of crap, graphics were meh, story was meh, controls were crap and the reviews werent hot and it still managed to do more than a mil. fast forward, we have Red Steel 2 which improved upon the original in just about every way. Ok so there was no online but I believe a game should be able to stand on the strength of its single player and the original's online was not exactly COD caliber, hell its not even MOH on PSP caliber. and the setting was....wonky, but the gameplay was superb. Its the only FPS type game i played on Wii that i feel just works, never ever had an issue with the controls which is more than I can say for most of the games I played.
So what happened??? Did people feel burned by the first one?? Should have read the damn reviews, the quality of the game was in big neon letters. The 2nd one got much better reviews, user and company wide than the first, are people just not reading them or not really caring??? Motion plus a problem??? Why it was neccessary to get the most quality control out of the game, it would have been worst without it and you would think out of all those people who bought Sports resort at least a million of those would be interested in this. No ads??? BS if your a gamer you dont need ads to tell you when a game is out. YOu visit websites post on forums so your in the know, whats the real reason why people didnt support this, YOU knew it existed and those Wii FIt/Sports crowd would not buy this game anyway so no amount of TV ads would get them to buy it. missed the holidays??? people have jobs, since when did people only buy games around x-mas, especially the core.
Im not making this thread because im flamebaiting, i really im curious about why this game flopped. Some Wii owners complain about either getting to much half assed games and not enough good ones, and when a good one comes along, no one buys it. THey wonder why they just put out dance and exercise games all year long. Motion+ gets barely any support and I dont see that changing ever. Im really peeved because we probably wont see a followup not with these #s. if Ubisoft does decide to do another they just need to make it multiplat, i think that will be better
