DarkZero: We can't say we liked the original Red Steel that much, and every time I tired to play it I ended up spinning around in a circle. To put it bluntly it was not much fun, and I believe it would be hard for anyone be honestly entertained while playing the game.
However, it seems Ubisoft are happy to soldier on, and try and improve thing, and it seems the new Wii MotionPlus peripheral will play a big part in this change.
Phil writes, "Too often we see video game sequels that don't quite live up to their predecessors... but we already have an article series dedicated to those games. Instead, let's take a look at those video game sequels that not only live up to their predecessors but greatly surpass them in quality. It's time to bring back The Most Improved Video Game Sequels (you can read part one here) to check out these sensational sequels that delivered and did so in a deliciously delightful manner."
Resident Evil 4
Ratchet & Clank 2
Silent Hill 2
Street fighter 2
Castlevania: Symphony of the night
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Assassins Creed 2
Metal Gear Solid (not first game in the series)
Tekken 3
God of War (2018)
Mortal Kombat 9
Devil May Cry 3
Virtua Fighter 4
Luigis Mansion 3 doesn’t really belong in that list because the first game was great and it’s sequels didn’t really redefine the series.
There’s more to Ubisoft’s back catalogue than its Templar-bothering flagship franchise and we’re here to prove it. By grovelling for remasters, of course.
With the Switch bringing interest back into the realm of motion controls, it seems as good a time as any to dip back into the backlog and retrieve some lucrative nuggets from the one that launched the phenomenon in the first place: the Nintendo Wii.
It must suck having to apologize for your game like that. Hopefully the sequel works out better for them.
The aiming in the first game was an absolute nightmare! Let's hope they've figured out how to improve upon it and that the motionplus will help. Oh, and some real cutscenes in the game would be nice. Wasn't digging the whole comic book-like thing they did with the first.
oh man i'm getting exited for the Wii!!
the Wii it is just a novelty like the iPOD but with that motion+ it could be more than just that.
BTW i remember some nintendo fanboys saying that red steel was awesome... lol
And I really do agree that Wii-Motion Plus would be a HUGE breakthrough for Red Steel; especially during the sword fights. That and better work on the damn Wii-mote. Pointer-Thing twitches more than a guy on ecstasy. No really! And I checked my sensitivity and ****.
