Red Steel

The bottom tank looks more fun to me.

Yeah, it makes your imagination go wild!

"Wii made my son imagine things"

[Zathras]

That's fucking bullshit and you know it.

Sounds perfectly likely to me. We've all been wibbling on about the wonderful new interface, which really doesn't let us do anything we can't normally do in a FPS. Most FPS games end up being 7/10 material.

Most FPS games don't let you chop people up with swords by swinging your arm about like a loon, though. That's sold it for me.

They should have just dispensed with the guns completely and made it a first person sword game. That would have been loads better.

7/10 != average.

Most = modal average

I hope the developers have improved since XIII. That game was poor. Also the voiceovers in this are painful but I guess that's no surprise.

[Guest Matteo]

I really enjoyed XIII. One of the best 98p's I've ever spent.

Fair enough. Does anyone know if Red Steel's coming out at that price point?

New videos with sword fighting controls!!

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

That looks quite bad.

Reminds me a bit of those throw-away Ninja booklets I used to read when I was 12.

Im thinking along similar lines. I just hope the game play is something special.

[scottcr]

the cutscenes remind me of Max Payne - in a good way.

[Massive Invisible Dog]

Remember when they talked about the characters talking Japanese and how you would never really know what they were saying, which really heightened the feeling of being a fish out of water? Yeah, that just turned out to be a lie.

The swordfighting is the only part that seems to control pretty well to me. I like how the blocking and parrying works and don't really care about it being gesture based. It's just looks nice and instinctive when you see a video of someone doing it properly.

God, the ones with the comic stills? They're embarrassingly badly done.

Nice one. I'm liking the look of that

This.

Swordfighting looks NOT exciting and too stale. Let's hope the gameplay proves me wrong.

[Meers]

What?

Looks shit? What have you been smoking? Look at the animation, for Pete's sake! It's wonderful!

[Initial K]

I thought the music in the cut scenes was something you'd hear in Ghost in the Shell.

[Cyhwuhx]

.::: Which one?

[emps]

I always thought the music to rooftop swordfight they kept showing sounded like Kenji Kawai, so I guess he means the films, the first one especially.

EDIT: Although, if they did have Yoko Kanno doing the soundtrack I'd be buying it by default.

[utopastac]

The proper videos (not swordfighting) worry me, as they look so laboured. Everything's so deliberate, and the players seems to navigate their way around by taking bullets and locating enemies that way. Hope it's just inexperience with the controls.

[Hans No Way Ray]

That's what I did when I played Goldeneye for the first few times!

Yes, you heard me right - THIS IS GOLDENEYE.

[Massive Invisible Dog]

THIS IS 2006.

Not according to that hilariously shit video.

[Hello Goaty ♥]

it looks so much like Perfect Dark.

-not really a bad thing.

I agree.

.::: That goes without saying.

New videos with sword fighting controls!!

Apart from that vid, there are 12 IGN "related" videos in that link that show a lot of the game nicely. Looks ace.

[Spunky Monkey]

That voice acting is terrible, and im one of them people that actually liked the voice acting in Shenmue.
