E3 2006 Screens | Red Steel Announcement & More Screens

12.04.2006

Revealed in American magazine Game Informer a few days ago, Ubisoft have now released an official statement about Red Steel on Nintendo Revolution. The first person action game is set in modern-day Japan and will see players getting to grip with both firearms and the ancient art of the katana. The Revolution controller's motion abilities can be used to aim the weaponry and attack to create immersive gameplay only possible with this kind of control.

"We're honored to announce this exciting new franchise and we're confident that Red Steel will be the must-have title for the Revolution when it launches," said Serge Hascoet, chief creative officer at Ubisoft. "We have been working closely with Nintendo to take full advantage of the innovative controller to create a thrilling experience that can only exist on the Revolution."

"Nintendo is excited to have Ubisoft bring Red Steel to the Revolution launch lineup," said Reggie Fils-Aime, executive vice president of sales and marketing at Nintendo of America. "Ubisoft makes some of the most innovative and critically acclaimed games in the industry and from what we have seen from Red Steel it is going to be a standout exclusive title on the Revolution."

Red Steel will be shown fully in May 2006 at E3. Offered as a game with the style of a contemporary action movie, Red Steel will be aimed at both those who thirst for a new experience and those who've never played a game of the genre in their lives. Ubisoft will reveal more information as we move towards the as-yet-unannounced release date.

[Update 1]
We have three new high quality screens to view in the game's album below.

[Update 2]
We've been linked to the official site, which has a rather nice interactive teaser. We have also added the offical game logo to our screens album for this title. Check it out below.

Stick with C3 for more information as it comes...

Nice new screens there, looking "next gen" to me anyway (if that's game engine graphics) Smilie

Red Steel looks like its gonna be pushing to be a must have on release. I'm looking forward to e3 and seeing whats its really capable of. The Revo really needs a decent FPS on release. It could really help shift the console. Just look at the average PD0 on 360.

TimoteiWest 12.04.2006#12

Well, I can't not buy it now, with all the hype and all....

KATANAS!!

I'm waving around a tube of toothpaste, trying to imagine what playing with the revmote feels like...woah, its gonna rock! (Note to self - try not to squeeze the tube too hard next time)

jamain 12.04.2006#14

Nice logo...do we know if it's official?

jamain 12.04.2006#15

I can answer my own question...check out the cool teaser site: http://www.redsteelgame.com/

thats hilarious Smilie

thats a point though, I wonder what the remotes will feel like, as in the weight... I'm inagining they'll be pretty light but I'm sure it'll be a surprise.

Yeah, all hands-on reports I've read state the controller to be much smaller and lighter than they thought - but still very ergonomic and comfy Smilie

I'have to agree guys this is looking very next gen to me. For the record i have to say "wow". I only hope the game plays as fluidly as it looks and doesn't suffer too much from frame rate stints. Ubisoft are a top tier company and this is only they're offering. Let's hope that other software houses are producing the same sort of quailty visuals and gameplay. And if they are, Revolution just might win it all this generation. Only time and E3 will tell...
