Red Steel Gets Polished After E3 Demo Reviews
Red Steel, according to Ubisoft, is the only original first-person game built from the ground up for the Wii. The company promised gamers Red Steel will give them a unique immersive gunplay and swordplay actions in a contemporary Japanese setting. Unfortunately, the E3 2006 demo of Red Steel earned mixed reviews particularly the sword-fight controls which test drivers said required quite a bit of improvement. Ubisoft apparently listens to feedback because the company did something about it.
The mostly quoted statements from Ubisoft regarding the Red Steel improvement are:
“Not only did the remote replicate our actual sword-slashes, but the recenty unveiled motion sensor in the nunchuck could be thrust foreward for parry attacks”
and,
“As promised, timing and observation was key to winning the sword-fights and felt just like the mock-saber duels nearly everyone had as kids, so anyone who has dreamed of being a samuri will pick it right up”
So there you go. Proof that constructive criticism can have a postive effect. I personally can’t wait to try my Hiten Mitsurugi slashes come its release.
