Red Steel was a joke because most said delay to make it better and ubisoft went ahead. More polish on the sword fighting and early levels the game would've been solid overall not great but definetly a demonstration that Wii was good at fps. Hopefully ubisoft takes a hint from EA and Retro let gamer figure out the aiming by massive tweaking letting the game speak for itself.

I personally think that customizable sensitivity settings should be in all Wii games, most especially racers and shooters.

Am i the only one who actually thought that was "Metroid prime" towards the end of the video.

I don't understand why the sky is so dark and the buildings have so much bloom on them. They contrast each other.

As I said before, I'll remain optimistic because they are obviously putting a lot of effort into this.

Looks like it could use another coat of polish and tweaking, but it certainly looks better than those initial screens lead on.

Cautiously optimistic.

And to think this is during early dev with no serious funding (yet, as I heard they got a publisher)

Man, these guys are putting almost all other 3rd parties to shame. Finally a 3rd party Wii game that

1. Isn't a port
2. doesn't involve saving animals
3. Isn't just a bunch of minigames
or
4. isn't rife with shamefully designed, poorly implemented gameplay with even worse visuals. (i.e. total shovelware)

Though the company is not known for worth while games. you can clearly see the effort put into this title.

There is a spaceship above which causes the darkness in the sky, and lights coming off of it illuminating the buildings.

I don't know this, but I think to sound confident anyway.

Hard to believe this doesn't have a publisher yet. It looks as good if not better than MP3.

It doesn't have a known publisher, but it's gotten a lot of offers, so they probably do have one.

How did NGG take the NPDs?

Maybe it's just cloudy on that side of the sky but sunny on the side you can't see.

and there's a rainbow

I'm getting a Perfect Dark vibe(loved that game). Looks good to me so far.

Hell the font even looked Perfect Dark'ish. This seems like it might be a "Western No More Heroes case".

I'll buy it. :D

This is a similar flaw in MoH:H2. Too much bloom with no light source.

This video doesn't get me excited at all. I guess it's something about the art style, that is so primitive that puts me off. However, this looks somewhat good because every FPS game on the Wii except MP3 looks like shit.

is that the quake 3 engine? wow, i've really been wanting to revisit the generic half-life knock-offs developed in the eastern bloc circa 1999

please tell me the wii library isn't so utterly wretched that this elicits interest

please

I'm glad that someone is trying to push the wii but unfortunately, this game looks artistically uninspired. I hope it plays well. With a cool art direction it would look tons better, even with the same technology.

First Wii game to have you unlock in-game content with a credit card?

>_>
<_<



Seriously, if this turns out to be a decent FPS, I'd rather not have EA handle any of it...

If EA picks it up it will sell well.

If EA doesn't pick up the only other option is Ubisoft and even though NMH did not bomb it could've done wayyyy better.

it won't sell, period. fuck, this wouldn't even sell on the 360, where the audience adores third-rate fps offerings.

it's a generic sci-fi shooter with 1999's graphics, terrible art direction, and the usual godawful wii fps controls. if you want it to sell to the chucklefucks what own a wii, switch the characters to fisher-price wibble folk, set it in a karaoke bar, and ask folks to waggle the remote along to a collection of meredith brooks and shawn colvin adult contemporary hits
