Ubisoft Confirm MotionPlus Support for Red Steel 2

Am I the only one who thought part one was, uhm, BAD?

They've got some making up to do if they want me to buy this one... or to compete with the conduit by the looks of it

Wow the motion plus has really surprised the devs.

No your not, I thought the first game was crap. It was shoddy game that was badly put together. It was also ridden with bugs. Hopefully this will be better, but I have no hope for any Wii game with Ubisoft at the helm. It's also still being made by the crap Paris team that made the first, when it should have gone to the Shanghai outfit who could do a much better job given the games content.

I liked the first one, it was fun and the Wiimote was a novelty to use at the time. And it's still one of the best FPSs on Wii...though that is largely due to the Wiis total lack of good FPSs. I'm looking forward to this, I'd love to see how good Red Steel could have been if it wasn't rushed for launch.

I thought it was crap too. What's funny is that I again find Nintendo's choice of "freiends" quite odd. Remember in the GC days when Nintendo liscenced Mario to EA so much? And now they say they only do it for devs they trust (same with Miis)

Not only that, but they didn't tell most devs about MotionPlus. Who wants to bet they told Ubisoft and EA but not Capcom or SEGA?

Once again they're experimenting with new controls as they're making the game. It won't be until numero 3 that they'll really nail the controls (if we're lucky. And if Nintendo don't release some new gizmo add-on to refine the Wiimote further).

MotionPlus+: This time the controls really are 1:1!

The Wii 2 will come with a real gun so you can pop 'oles into yer telly!

There's no way I'm buying Red Steel 2. I never finished the 1st & that one easily got lame.

Based on the Wii owns I still have for Ubisoft I wouldn't mind a PoP or them begging Suda51 for NMH2.

Ubsoft possibly making a good Wii title?! F**king hell, the world's going to implode.

The first game had a lot of potential, let down ultimately with developer inexperience with the console. I'd be looking very much forward to a sequel.

It won\'t be good though. If it is it doesn\'t count because FPS\' are all the same. [/flamebait]

Once again lot's of potential, large probability of Ubisoft making a hash of it again I fear, just like the rest of their games for the Wii.

I'm going to be cautiously optimistic about this. If you read reviews from the first Red Steel, it seems like most said "this is a pretty good game, but the controls ruin it". With more experience and better development time, the controls should be fixed. Could end up being a very good game.

pass...

It could be a good game, most reviewers said the first one was solid, just not better than average. I agree with that view, with a few tweeks and some care, it could have been great.

Red steel 2 will hopefully be the game that the original should have been at the very least, people will be expecting much more, there will be more with the online multiplayer but alot more would be pushing it, it is ubisoft we're talking about.

The aiming doesn't need motion plus? No excuse for crap game.

True - the game looked decent, even better than most third party efforts, but controls really killed it.

They're probably incorporating it for 1:1 swordplay, which might be really cool.

Yeah I guess, but they are really not going to put that much effort into the game.
