This is great news indeed for the new IP red steel. I thought the first one was pretty good it was just rough around the edges that can be smoothed out, and i cant help but wonder since this new peripheral alows for realistic movements im thinking your going to have to learn some actual sword fighting when you fight a boss or something.

@ Dodece. You just proved that you never played the game because there was no sword fighting in multiplayer. This makes all of the "points" that you made irrelevant.

Can't wait to see gun control with Wii MotionPlus haha. NOt just the swords eh.

Almost overlooked this thread. Maybe they'll go on what they started with the first one and continue to differentiate this game from most other shooters. That would be nice. ONe of the reasons I liked the first one more than others because it was different than other shooters. Had other aspects to it.

sweet, now the game might live to the hype of the first one :P

but I can't wait to get more info or some screens =x

zzz...

I find it funny you try and measure the unnanounced sequel by the rushed merit of its launch predicessor, though I appreciate you trying to rain on its parade, if only you'd have acknowledged all Ubisoft games are just as shallow and poorly flushed out, but alas, I'm sure their HD endeavors are golden works of art. Most of your complaints actually sound like those of people speculating shortcommings for the Wii well before it was ever released. In the end you're just another person who doesn't get motion controls and tries to take comfort in the ever bottle-necking pool of games HD gaming is finding its niche in.

You should stick to posts where facts are involved, when it comes to opinions your credibility and debating skills disintigrate into unproductive rants. Know your strengths and weaknesses and pick and choose your battles. This is not yours to be had, try again later. While your posts against the PS3 are usually in regards to erroneous facts, your posts against the Wii are typically little more than unprovoked displays of contempt for the Wii's unique approach to the video game market.

I find it ironic that someone who only has the courage to re-emerge on these forums now that things look favorable for the 360 once more would be so pretentious as to lecture us, who have been here all along, on the merits of gameplay. Where was your lecturing and high & mighty standards during these past dark days for the 360 where you, like so many other 360 fanboys, were on a long and unexplained hiatus? You're all talk when things seem in favor of your brand of choice, but otherwise you've not even the courage to show your face on the forums.

Tell me, does it really worry you to think that people might be excited about a game, about a console, that you've nothing but contempt for? Tsk Tsk.

@NightDragon83: I guess we're pretty much on the same page with this. I just don't think that the fact that Red Steel didn't deliver on it's promises is a negative thing for Red Steel 2. I'd have been more worried if we had saw RS2 this past holiday season. Given that RS2 won't be out until at least fall 09, I think the fact that they are taking their time and know very well how RS disappointed many is going to make RS2 a quality product.

And I agree, Rogue Squadron II does look better than most Wii games. :)

So 2010 release date confirmed?

Amusing post by Docede though. Red Steel was bad... but bad from the standard of a Wii shooter.

It was still better then most of the next gen duel joystick affairs released.

The main reasons the game got such low reveiw scores were....

1) It was the first FPS game for wii... takes a while to get used to.

2) The ads made it seem like you'd be able to do some badass freewielding swordfighting... instead of the rare duels the game deliver.

3) It's pretty mediocre... though still... with the wii controls... better then a lot of duel joystick games like Army of Two and it's ilk.

Do not want.

 The first thing I thought when I saw motion plus is this is why Ubi have gone quiet with Red Steel 2 news recently.  Ubi knew and hopefully now we'll get more and stronger Wii announcements from them in 09.
