Yeah, I know, and that's the thing, this team just seems to have no clue about anything. They say they were rushed with the first game and had trouble working with tech they'd never used before, but here they are again, making RS2 in around the same development time and CENTERING the game around new tech they've never used before.
I'm also one of those people that just doesn't think a proper 1:1 sword-fighting game can be done in an open-world setting on current-day hardware...especially not the Wii. The AI would have to be so fucking smart to anticipate the moves that you would probably get frustrated and quit, anyway.
This game will probably be similar to the first in that it has canned animations for the strikes and blocks, they'll just work more correctly because of the added precision. I think anyone that is expecting a truly mind-blowing experience with 1:1 swordplay and the like is setting themselves up for a huge letdown.

That looked cool, hopefully it doesn't suck.

When I watched it in "HD" on Youtube there was no AA. I'm not so sure it was CG, but I don't think thats how the final game will look either. This trailer is likely being rendered in 720p, but my guess is the final game will be the traditional 480p.

John's dream was to someday shoot guys sideways....Unlike his Father, a straight, Aim-by-matching-up-the-sights-properly kind of guy. Tragically...On a mission one night he snuck through the back of a building in a assassination attempt. the opening was not large enough to allow straight sight line up, but his father...stubborn til the end, thought he could pull it off, unfortunately....he missed. And the villians came out to give him a long slumber. John vowed he would not repeat the mistakes of his father.

Unless Nintendo has a REALLY HUGE announcement lined up for E3 I'd say that's a given :lolinfinityBCRT said:

Maybe you tilt the wiimote sideways to quickly switch to the gun?

Seeing as how that's the max output of the Wii I'd say your guess is probably right ;p

It was pre-rendered using the game engine, so it didn't have any of the HUD.

IGN said F5 was looking at making a 720p Wii game, dunno if anything ever came out of that though.

WTF are you talking about...? The guy aims, it shows the gun aimed at the on screen enemy and he shoots him. The gun wasn't shown moving because it showed the guy moving his arm instead

Not excited until I see someone playing the game. Anyone can cut together a trailer.
See: Miami Vice.
Also, not a huge fan of the drab skintones color scheme either. Hopefully looks a little more enticing later too.

dude, seriously, that's cold :lolJDSN said:
i'm sold on the concept, and the graphics in the trailer are reasonable. what i actually care about is the gameplay. i'm sold on the concept, all that really remains is the application. i'll reserve final judgment until E3 whether they have the combat down, absolute judgment until i have it in my hands and have played it. don't think me naive just because i'm an optimist and don't just jump on the game for some minor but obvious touch-ups. i don't usually get to say it, but i'm pro-bullshot, at least as far as cleaning up aliasing and such. screens are just supposed to give an idea for how the game is supposed to look, much like this trailer is supposed to give an idea of how it's played. we'll know how well it does that after E3.
also, seriously scitek, chill out. there's nothing to hate the game for yet. if we can't trust this trailer, then ignore it.

1) In Nintendo Power it was revealed that some of the enemies have bulletproof armor (that of course a katana can cut through because katanas are like magic and can cut through anything)maniac-kun said:
2) Given what the video showed (he only shoots the enemy after breaking his sword) it seems that the enemies might have the ability to deflect your shots with their swords

Well, to be fair, bullet proof vests are useless against blades or sharp points. That's why Cop Killer bullets have sharp triangular points.

Nintendo quality games are judged by pre-rendered promotional trailers now?Ether_Snake said:
That being said, I'm definitely interested in this.
It's Ubisoft, they do it all the time.scitek said:

If this game is as fun as this trailer made it look, then fuck yeah.
I don't exactly have faith though, seeing as how the first trailer for the original game showed the player doing similar things. And we all know how the swordplay turned out in that one.
Cool trailer, though.

Are you serious dude? Do you really belive that Nintendo will coming out with a 720p Wi support?
eh, i'm still pretty certain that the trailer is running the Wii engine just on more powerful hardware. the only post processing effect i really noticed was the AA, and that makes sense if this is supposed to be shown on a big screen. other than that, it's all more than possible.Dascu said:

I want to believe this will be great :|
Are we sure it's CGI or is it just an ass-umption ?
Unless basic geometry and weird shadows are part of the style, I'd say it's pretty shitty for CG.
However as graphics for a Wii game, they're quite well done.
This doesn't show shit about gameplay though, but I didn't really expected it to.
Edit : WTF people are over-analyzing this 1:30 teaser with nothing to show :lol Slow news days.

2 and a half years with the tech, just working on this game mean anything? sure, they scrapped one concept just last year, but that doesn't mean they get rid of all the effects code and assets, that would just be a waste of money. i expect the actual game to look like this, albeit at a lower resolution with much more aliasing, but that's fine by me. what matters is the gameplay. even if i'm wrong, i'll still enjoy it as long as the gameplay holds up.pakkit said:

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Certainly bullshit in regards to the animation, lack of HUD, and 720p rendering. Otherwise I don't really see it as impossible to do on the Wii.
Just look at it again. Poly counts are really very quite low (check out the character's arms), cel-shading isn't particularly mind blowing, and the original Red Steel had depth of field whenever swords clashed.
Seems like the ingame engine to me, just rendered in a higher, crisper resolution.

You know, this actually gets me excited for Red Steel 2. Anyone remember all those old ridiculous Red Steel commercials?
