Red Steel was a huge showcase during E3 2006 and the game crashed on stage. Let's hope for a better second showing this time around.Wii Will Rock U said:

They said no gangsta style gunning.jimmbow said:
Another thing I thought was interesting was watching the guy manuever the sword in a kind of Spanish style swordfighting, kind of like dancing with the guy.
It really looked 1:1 too. Pretty hot!
I think the general motion of the sword will be 1:1, and when you slash it'll do an automatic slice instead of having the slice actual 1:1. Or maybe not, who knows!
As other people might have seen, I have been a big beneficiary of Red Steel, and Red Steel 2 is no exception. I will be crawling these threads and videos for info.

That's a reason to get excited? It's the Killzone 2 trailer all over again.Maxrpg said:

Killzone 2 trailer turned out to be pretty much how the game would be.
Relax.
Ok I looked all over for that Ign quote
"The slashing and swashbuckling we crave" -- IGN
I can't find it. It's not in the Red Steel review from U.S. or UK. It doesn't appear to be in any red steel 2 preview. What the hell are they quoting IGN for anyway? IGN has never seen or played the game. That's a really shitty marketing play.

I agree that it is terrible marketing ploy. That looked really out of place when they showed CG footage...DrLazy said:

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

I think they may have improperly credited IGN for something that G4tv technically said:
"The rumor is, Red Steel 2 will use this technology and might, finally, give us the slashing and/or swashbuckling we crave"
It should be noted that this was said in September of 2008, so it certainly wasn't about this version, or any version for that matter, of Red Steel 2.
I'm really liking the new setting and style of this game. I never thought I would be excited for a Red Steel game after buying the first but this one looks good. I just hope the gameplay and controls don't take anything away from the game but actually add to the experience. Need hands on previews from gaming sites!

Looks excellent.
Also, I'm sure the destination playstation thing simply has to do with closed door viewings of non playstation games at that event.

I have no idea what I just saw. How much of that was gameplay and how much was pre-rendered? I'm prety sure this is the first time I had to ask that kind of question about a Wii game.
Graphics aside if they can get the gameplay anywhere close to that trailer then... wow.

I thought the footage was CG at first but when you look at the stills closely, you can see the technical shortcomings in resolution. I'm not so sure that it's CG

That's what I see too but it could be that they pre-rendered using in game assets. I have a hard time believing the final game will look that smooth.Gully State said:

I didn't want to bash the wii or something, that was just a geniune question because I can't figure out what games on wii have self shadowing.
EDIT: I know about the self shadowing in shadow of the colossus but it was a tricky self shadowing and I don't see a game like red steel 2 running @ 60 fps with this kinf of feature like in the capture and the trailer.

Are you joking?Me_Marcadet said:
No it is definitely not CG and is most likely using enhanced in game assets. I stated that it was a cut scene meaning pre-baked animations give a sense of gameplay. The animation looked way too smooth to be in-game imo. The Wii is definitely capable of those graphics.Gully State said:

I will say this: if they're really using MotionPlus like that (so that you can actually twist the sword around with your wrist in a 1:1 approximation), then this game will automatically be better than Red Steel 1 by default.

Seems like the in game engine with scripted animation. Game looks good though, if that is the engine...
This is my thoughts exactly. If the engine allows us to parry attacks at a 1:1 ratio, each swordfight we'll have will be unique every single time. Do you go full out swordfight on the samurai ahead of you, or do you mix gun/sword play, or do you try to kite him and play gunslinger?EmCeeGramr said:

They can probably get pretty close to that. If you guys notice, the textures in the game are relatively simple, but really pretty.
Will have lots of jaggies though.
