E309 | Interview | Ubisoft Developers Talk Red Steel 2 [news]

Excellent write-up Karn, very nice!

As I've said before, I'm starting to really get excited about this one. I like just about everything they're trying to do with the game, and I think its great that they sought out Retro's advice to fine tune the controls. Hopefully the final game lives up to the potential we all saw in the series back when it was first announced.

I really like the approach to appeal to casul and veteran players. Difficulty setting! Its so simple but still seems to be an approach that shigs does not like. I think zelda should start to use difficulty settings.

Good write up Im even more excited for it. The only thing that bugs me is the refusal to even consider DLC co op play would be fun.

Dunno.
All difficulty settings do is change hitpoints or damage really.

The thing that needs to be harder in Zelda is the puzzles. And, in some case's, making enemy's more intelligent/diverse in their attacks.

Its a lot harder to scale that sort of difficulty.

I think if Nintendo finnishs their tutorial-playback system they were working on,however, the next Zelda could be harder in terms of puzzles.

Anyways...great write up indeed.
Cant wait for this game.

Agreed with the puzzles, Tried playing ocarina again and got stuck,forgot how I solved one area.

Ultimately there could be two settings: casual and gamer. Casual keeps the baddies as they currently are. Gamer means the baddies are more organic in attack. Remove patterns from their actions and use a random system AI.

I was somewhat interested in Red Steel until the reviews started coming out. I have to say that I'm much more interested in this, and I'll be watching the news and gameplay videos closes. This looks like it could be a 3rd party game that other consoles would be jealous of.
