With MotionPlus compatibility confirmed recently for Red Steel 2, it's clear Ubisoft is taking note of player feedback from the first experience. Of course, with the game still not 'officially' announced outside of off-hand comments from Ubi execs, gamers have yet to see what direction the series is taking and whether the gameplay will indeed be taken in a more palatable direction.
Join IGN, then, as they play the speculation card on Red Steel 2.
Phil writes, "Too often we see video game sequels that don't quite live up to their predecessors... but we already have an article series dedicated to those games. Instead, let's take a look at those video game sequels that not only live up to their predecessors but greatly surpass them in quality. It's time to bring back The Most Improved Video Game Sequels (you can read part one here) to check out these sensational sequels that delivered and did so in a deliciously delightful manner."
Resident Evil 4
Ratchet & Clank 2
Silent Hill 2
Street fighter 2
Castlevania: Symphony of the night
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Assassins Creed 2
Metal Gear Solid (not first game in the series)
Tekken 3
God of War (2018)
Mortal Kombat 9
Devil May Cry 3
Virtua Fighter 4
Luigis Mansion 3 doesn’t really belong in that list because the first game was great and it’s sequels didn’t really redefine the series.
There’s more to Ubisoft’s back catalogue than its Templar-bothering flagship franchise and we’re here to prove it. By grovelling for remasters, of course.
With the Switch bringing interest back into the realm of motion controls, it seems as good a time as any to dip back into the backlog and retrieve some lucrative nuggets from the one that launched the phenomenon in the first place: the Nintendo Wii.
Be good.
The original Red Steel wasn't a complete failure. Yeah controls sucked, but besides that it wasn't a horrible game. As a Wii game, and a launch title, it looked pretty good.
I don't think there is any way Red Steel 2 can be worse then the original.
we dont really need a good story...just really bad a** sword fighting gameplay. (which requires good AI) ALL HAIL WII MOTION PLUS
wii motion plus sword fights
better graphics,better levels
more veraity
