Red Steel 2 swordplay: will utilize Wii MotionPlus accessory
Red Steel, which was largely criticized for its control system, is set to clear its name in Red Steel 2, which will utilize the new Wii MotionPlus accessory. Details in the full article.
Red Steel was the first ever third-party Wii game to release screenshots, gathering itself some hype before the game was released. Once it did hit the market though, reviews were mixed. One of the reasons for this was how loosely the sword followed the Wiimote, which led to some difficulty in controls.
However, it seems the franchise is out to redeem itself in the sequel. Red Steel 2 has been confirmed by Ubisoft, and it’s going to be utilizing the new Wii MotionPlus accessory, which will lend the Wiimote a more precise motion-tracking scheme. Says Ubisoft’s executive director Alain Corre:
Red Steel 2 has been in development for many months now, and this new device will help us be even more precise in what we do with the product.
So Red Steel is a brand, and as with every brand we have, we now have to reach the top quality possible. What was missing was the preciseness of the sabre – and with this new device I think it will change the experience.
No word on whether it will have online features, but the Official Nintendo UK mag has already confirmed this… a year ago. Don’t know if Ubisoft’s decided to change this, but it would be a shame if they do.
