@millenium: There is nothing worse than forcing motion controls into a game where it doesn't work properly. The approach they are taking sounds great to me.

@Arkk: Get off your high horse. If you didn't have such a knee-jerk reaction, you'd realize they have done much more than "just port" a 6 year old game. I'll make a statement by buying what sounds to be a very fun game.

@11ht11: Aye, it's cool they spelled out the fact that the game and series this is based on predates GoW.

Touchy touchy quigontcb. No need to bash me.

You have the freedom to buy any game in this wide world. I'm not stopping you. I just believe that we should be getting games that have some thought put in to them. Are you telling me that you aren't tired of all of the "ports" we are getting from every company? Especially PS2 ports.

And trust me, this is not a knee-jerk reaction. I am not the type of person to jump to conclusions. So please refrain from pretending to you know what kind of reaction I had.

 

Check bardicverse's post...he obviously knows more about this game and it's development than you do. Or you're just on that lame crusade against anything that is not 100% original on the Wii.

Yeah, I'd like to see more originality and less PS2 ports. That does not mean I'm going to limit myself by dismissing a game just because it has it's origins on the PS2. Rygar flopped on the PS2, was released a generation ago, was highly praised in it's time, and has gotten much more than a simple port-to-Wii job. So basically...nobody played the original, those few who did experienced it a long time ago, it's a high quality game, and has had, as you like to say, "thought put into it". If you don't see that this is not a quick and dirty port job, you're either blind or simply acting like you're blind.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who noticed this. Still some folks are looking forward to this one, so for their sake I hope the positive impressions actually bear out.

It might just be me, but the combat looks pretty simplistic.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

You really need to relax. You keep on spouting derogatory comments directed at me. "Or you're just on that lame crusade"... "you're either blind or simply acting like you're blind"... This has nothing to do with me thinking this is a quick attempt to cash in. We can speak on the subject as much as you want, but please, keep the venom to yourself.

In my opinion, the game doesn't look good in the first place. It is also a port (no matter how you view it) from a game that came out 6 years ago. Are you trying to dispute with me that this game is something that it's not? I don't expect you to limit yourself to anything. I don't know you, and frankly i don't care what games you play. To me, that is irrelevant. I want to see something fresh and original. It doesn't have to be a new "Rygar". In fact, I hope it something brand new. That is my point. If you want to dispute this with me, fine. Feel free. That's what a forum is for. But don't try to limit my opinion on the matter while making yourself big. Who is on the high horse now?

 



Just kiss the tip.
