It was supposed to be bad, but the designers failed in their quest and inadvertently created a masterpiece.

 

[imastalker co.]

Red Steel is biggest sleeper hit since Smashing Drive.

[Mr. Pointy]

Red Steel is the greatest shooter since Doom. It will single-handedly make the Japanese like FPS games. 1.5 million LTD.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

It'll sell more than every Brain Training, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest and Pokemon combined.

Hey guys.

I'm going to buy this game because of your recommendations. If this game is shite, then I'm gonna reach through the screen and slap on your bald patch.

Go on silly, before it's sold out.. Wish Twilight Princess was this polished!

 

[WickedAngel]

It will do fine in Japan, but I doubt it will be a hit anywhere else. Could be wrong, but it's hard to imagine.

GAF, you are too hard on Red Steel... it's ugly, but it's very fun.

Stop hatin' / start playin'.

You do it to yourselves when you compare it to games of the calibur of Gears of War/Twilight Princess. Really.

Question to all the Lovers.
Replay Value? Modes?

no online mp lolz

 

[SuomiDude]

The multiplayer is supposedly pretty bad. Or maybe not bad, I don't know honestly, it's just that the multiplayer is only like couple of different stages and very few options. Don't know about the single player if there's anything to go back. Co-op in games like these would be great, that was the reason why Perfect Dark lasted so damn long back in the day (as well as the normal multiplayer).

Prepare to do a lot of slapping

The Co-op mode is also the reason why I loved to play Gears of War. I think I wouldnt bother about this game as a Singleplayer game but I just missed Co-op.

But really the interesting part would be to know about this

Don't know about the single player if there's anything to go back.

It seems like all Lovers have disappeared :-O
If not... Answer plz?

 

[Zer0]

if red steel suceeds on japan,it will be clear how bad its the taste of the average japanese gamer

 

[MrSardonic]

PD co-op suffered from an unplayably awful framerate

 

[Y2Kev]

In my dream last night, God came to me and revealed that Red Steel sold approximately seven million copies.

 

[JavyOO7]

are you trying to tickle him

 

[maxmars]

are you trying to tickle him

Noooooo.. What made you think that?!

 

[dark10x]

Hopefully more than Gears of War. This game is sooooo sooooo good.

Based on this, I can only assume that you are now a huge fan of Jak II as well.

 

[He Wants Chalupas]

THIS IS RED STEEL.
IT IS MADE OF ASS AND POO.

[Clouseau]

*wonders how many people read this thread and ran out to buy red steel*

 

[Y2Kev]

The game is the messiah of FPS games much in the same way Jesus Christ was to humanity.

 

[disappeared]

Red Steel's so good I stopped playing it after an hour. For fear that my head would explode if the game got any more awesome.

 

[farnham]

wow... so the game is sooo bad..?
thank god i didnt preorder it..

:lol

I'm having a love-hate relation with this game. I have not bought it, but I've tested... and I dunno. It might be the fact that it was on a plasma TV without the comp. cables, but it was so damn ugly that my eyes bleed. Plus the fact that it was the first time I used a Wiimote, so I really sucked at it... I believe I'm going to pick Rayman instead of this one... However, I've read that the learning curve is high, but after that you really start enjoying the game, so I don't know what do now

 

[Y2Kev]

wow... so the game is sooo bad..?
thank god i didnt preorder it..

WHAT??? the game is pure awesome!

by the second level, tears were flowing from my eyes!

FARNHAM OBVIOUSLY MADE A BIG MISTAKE

HE WILL CRY HIMSELF TO SLEEP

 

[disappeared]

And the enemy A.I. is BRILLIANT! One enemy was so smart he came running at me with an uzi saying, "Where did he go!?" Fortunately for him, I was only holding a shotgun.

 

[farnham]

WHAT??? the game is pure awesome!

by the second level, tears were flowing from my eyes!

graphics were so sharp that my eyes started to bleed...

 

[bud]

Holy shit, not even Half-life 2: fall of halo has that!!!

 

[farnham]

sad thing that

1. UBI invested 12 m in such crap
2. people are actually buying this
3. this will be a bad sign for Wii FPS games

reading comprehension!!!????????

 

[disappeared]

Honestly guys, I think it's safe to say Valve's got a lot of work in front of them if they want to top Red Steel's dynasty.

 

[farnham]

reading comprehension!!!????????

 

[bud]

Farnham: we are not joking. It's a really awesome game

 

[Prince of Space]

No discussion of Red Steel is complete without mentioning the greatest videogame commercial EVER.

oh my god.. you guys are so evil..

 

[disappeared]

No discussion of Red Steel is complete without mentioning the greatest videogame commercial EVER.

I smell a Tarantino film adaptation.

 

[farnham]

I'm curious, what's the consensus at GAF for Japanese sales of this title? it is a launch title after all, and was reviewed quite generously in Famitsu (8/9/9/8)...

so anyone know anything I don't?

wth... 34 out of 40....famitsu has lost it once again..
