The French site Overgame has an interview with a lead team member working on Red Steel. (Note: the interview is translated through Babel Fish, so don't mind the funny spelling)
Game Informer - This week we're taking a look at the ambitious Wii launch title, Red Steel.
Take a look at some recent games that everybody loves to hate despite the fact that they're not so bad.
That Batman MP sucked ass, but the campaign was awesome. It had the best writing and boss fights in the series.
I agree with the addition of Lost World. It wasn't perfect, but neither was it a bad game. Heck, when you have games like Sonic 06' and Rise of Lyric, calling it a bad game would be an INSULT.
Lost World is a pretty good game and some of the levels esp early on are pretty much Genesis levels in 3D with branching paths and momentum based. The articles is one of 4 people I seen online ACTUALLY understand what Sonic is. It's not speed but momentum on Genesis.
Sadly, Star Wars: Battlefront is NOT Battlefield with a Star Wars skin. If it was, the game would be much better.
I had no idea Red Steel was hated so much. That was one of the better Wii launch games IMO. Had a lot of fun playing multiplayer.
I liked Red Steel too! Red Steel 2 as well. I do not care for Red Steel 2's graphics so much, but a fun game!
Wow I forgot there was a Red Steel 2! And judging from the ratings, it seems way better.
Just think, within every trash bag, box, and everything else shootable there is money. We could all be rich!!
But seriously...Red Steel 2 was fantastic
This is a retro review of Red Steel, a launch title for the Wii by Ubisoft.
I found this to be an interesting question/answer:
" The rumours spoke about a power comparable with that of Xbox...
I do not have the right to speak in details of what Wii can do graphically. What one can say, it is that on the sum of all that it can do, Wii is more powerful than Xbox. But there are things which Xbox can make and which Wii cannot make."
I am going to buy a Wii for sure, so I don't bring this up to try to bash it.
I just find it interesting that a developer is saying that from his experience, the Wii is more powerful than the Xbox, even though there are some things that the Xbox can do that the Wii can't replicate.
A few weeks (maybe months) ago there was a big digg.com argument where some people were saying they thought the Wii could look just as good as the 360 and PS3, just at a lower resolution. This interview seems to say this may not be the case.
It's just nice to see an actual developer setting our expectations on Wii graphics (somewhat better than original Xbox).
No matter what I feel Nintendo is doing everything in their power to get the best out of the Wii. What's even more impressing is they're doing it under the radar. Instead of arguing with Sony and MS. They just go about their business. That's why I'm definitely buying a Wii.
awesome!
