if you ask me that just makes ubisoft sound bad
they sucked so much on red steel they needed help from people who know how to get the job done .__.

least the way i see it in my head

Hey if your gonna get help from anyone why not a studio who does fps controls well on Wii?

Smacktard5443d ago

Why not just let Retro do the whole thing themselves? They'd do 10x a better job than Ubicrap.

Product5442d ago

Lol I don't know but honestly i love the new art style and doubt Retro would have went that route.

Smacktard5442d ago

That's a good point, but the lack of 1:1 controls, and the difficulty people have been having with getting the swings to read accurately at all, it makes me wish someone other than Ubicrap were working on it.

Excellent news! I bought Red Steel at launch with my Wii, and I thought it was OK for the first few levels, but got tired real quick and it was a damn shame about the motion controls not being 1:1. I was one of the millions who honestly believed we were getting 1:1 controls from the start on Wii, and was sorely disappointed when I got my hands on it to discover it wasn't even close. Red Steels sword-fighting left a lot to be desired, and the level designs for the shooter portions weren't too good either, not to mentions the graphics weren't so hot. But Retro! Damn, those guys know how to make a game! Their level designs and graphics in the Metroid Prime games are impeccable and beautiful. Couple it with near 1:1 motion from Wii Motion Plus, and I do believe that Red Steel 2 will be every bit as awesome as I'd hoped the original would be.

good decisions were made this time, starting with the art-style and the SteamPunk look.

Product5442d ago

i love the art style they went with. very good. You need bubbles here.

WOW that is nice to hear. Who said nintendo does not work with 3rd parties. So it's official retro is making a zelda game LOL.

Some are having problems with the hard attacks while other where expecting a tap to cut through armor. Hey these guys wanted 1:1 so you know ever thing isn't going to be made out of butter you know?

Any way they have some work to do too bad I can't help them. There is lots of ways to fix this problem and even make it a cool feature.

Product5441d ago

Funny you bring that up SR, because the people griping over the power recognition prolly didn't think to reset it before they played it.

Most people with hands on impressions forgot that in the beginning of the game, there is a tutorial where you set the power recognition for the entire game.

Since it was a demo most people just picked up where others left off.

N4g_null5441d ago

That is the booth guys fault he should be fired for that. I'm glad I'm not on that team!

Ranking the Metroid Games from Worst to Best

From Xfire: "Is Super Metroid still as super as it once was in 1994? If not, which Metroid game is better than the influential title?"

Highrevz1040d ago

I look forward to the day any game beats that Super, Metroid or not.
Hollow Knight come damn near close to knocking Super Metroid from the top of my list, that’s a huge achievement for such a small team.

The problem for me is I’ve been waiting for a 2D Metroid that beats Super but I don’t think I’ll ever see that day. I still play the original 1-2 times a year and a few randomiser plays.

Fully agree with the list and all points it makes for each game. I’m expecting Dread to fit in the middle of that list but I’m happy to be wrong about that.

Venoxn4g1039d ago

In my opinion Other M is better than Federation Force

The Most Improved Video Game Sequels - Part Two

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."

Assassins Creed 2
Metal Gear Solid (not first game in the series)
Tekken 3

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.

Onimusha 2
but hey, we can make 1k improved sequel if we keep going on 😂
