Red Steel 2 "one of the best looking games on the Wii," says developer

ABizzel1 - 128 days 22 hours ago

The game looks really good, because of the art style. The scene where the motorcycle is dragging you could easily be mistaken for a PS3 or 360 game. The are style is very similar to the Naruto Game on PS3. I wish they hadn't mad is some weird western samurai mix, and instead kept it a modern day Tokyo which would have made use of a much better color and lighting system since Tokyo is illuminated by neon lights.

But Red Steel 2 seems like it'll be much better this time around.

I like the weird western samurai thing... the whole this is in japan thing was sort of lame with graphics that didn't really match japan.

It's sweet to see them do a good job on the graphics art wise also.

i'm asking because other then a few games like no more heros which ubisoft only pubished,they have done mini games.Red steal do's look good but being it's from ubisoft you can't blame a me for asking how maney mini games is in it.Like sidar said looks good for a cel shaded game but it going come down to controls.

Phantom is right only a fanboys would claim it's going to be good after seeing how ubi makes games on the Wii and even the HD consoles.

I really can understand why they would limit the cuts though. Maybe that is only for the demos.

rofl... reminds me of the father's day version of "wetter" by twista

"you owe me 3 million dollars in child support!"
"boy, I ain't yo daddy!"
"Maury says so..."
"I don't know you! I don't even know Maury!"
"I'm a gold digger!"

For cell-shaded game, it looks pretty good.
But everyone is hoping for a solid sword mechanism.

after messing around with the motion plus in 3 different games now i can say that its great, there is alot of potential, the devs just need to implement it properly into games, so fingers crossed. RS2 could be excellent.

Heh, that's true.

"Our game looks like hell, but plays OK. You should buy it!"

Not a good marketing strategy.

But it looks like Ubi learned their lesson after the first one. Generally, super-realism isn't the way to go on Wii. NMH looked very basic, but the controls worked well enough to give it legs. As long as Red Steel 2 uses Motion+ well, they should have a decent seller on their hands.

The Conduit is a fairly good-looking game, IMO.

Yes, the art style is generic. But the most obvious things -- the guns, player's hands, enemies, lighting and water effects -- all look VERY good in Conduit. It's the locales themselves that look drab and knock the game down a bit. But the tech is all there. Give Retro studios the Quantum 3 engine and turn 'em loose, and I'd bet you'd get one hell of a pretty game.

For a Wii title. If these PR folks would just put that after every "Our game looks awesome" comment, they would probably stop getting so much flack. So many folks said the Conduit would look awesome but after playing games like Bioshock, Mass Effect, Uncharted and Killzone 2, the Conduit looked horrible.

When compared to titles on the same platform, the Conduit looks great.
