That's something that you don't see everyday, and i would kill to something more like that

  • @BloodRedFox2008
    @BloodRedFox2008 3 года назад +3

    This game was one of the earliest cases of the infamous Ubisoft practice where the game looked better in previews as well, as the screenshots shown off in an issue from Game Informer looked closer to an early life Xbox 360 game. Apparently this is because Ubisoft didn't know the specs of the Wii early on but assumed it'd be more powerful than it was, so the early screens were from the game running on dev PCs.

    The thing about Wii games like this that I remember was all anyone ever really wanted was 1:1 control and I don't remember how often that was a thing but, more often than not, it seemed it was just "flick to do the thing". I mean obviously it was incorporated into games like RE4 and SMG and Link's Crossbow Training and stuff like that but Red Steel in particular was one where I specifically remember the promise and appeal of 1:1 motion control but the final product was not quite so. Even the mainline Zelda games couldn't fully incorporate 1:1 slashing.
    But I guess Wii had to walk so Oculus could run.

    I have a lot of fond memories of Red Steel, though most of those are rose-tinted since the game came out when I was ~13 years old and, as with most 13-year-olds, something being both edgy _and_ Japan-themed was guaranteed to win me over.
    It should've gone without saying, but having "first FPS game on the Wii" as the game's main selling point wasn't going to age it very well. Everything Red Steel did was eventually done better in Metroid Prime 3 and Red Steel 2.

    Yeah, apparently Red Steel is meant to be... ...average. I mean, the setting is actually really cool (the Yakuza underworld of Japan), and the point/shoot controls are supposed to be good, but everything else is rather mediocre apparently. Apparently the 2010 standalone sequel, Red Steel 2, fixes the issues with this game (despite changing the setting to an alternate Wild West instead of the Yakuza underworld), and is supposed to be a lot better. However, Red Steel as a series really is a strange one.

    I would have to say they were good points. But I don't think the "horror house" was that bad, since that is the only thing is challenging enough and like you had said the AI was easy to deal with even with horrible controls.
    And there's something that you haven't said about the cover for the "Red Steel" which I have a morbid curiosity of, "did he get that woman from the wallpaper of the game?" and found out that was not the case.
    I do see the potential in hindsight, but maybe if they could learn from their mistakes and either remake it or make a third sequel (I haven't played the 2nd game).

    "I'm pretty sure most of the lighting is baked in"
    Which is also the case with practically every single Wii game with any remotely realistic lighting, so, nothing out of the ordinary for the console. Most of the X360/PS3 titles with good lighting and performance have baked in lighting, too, like every CoD game for both systems (no idea if Advanced Warfare does but the MW and BO series definitely do).
    EDIT: oops you're probably talking about the lighting on objects not on the map itself, like guns and stuff, lol
