[Wii] Red Steel

OK, so Revolution will have a game using the Revolution controller. What exactly are people supposed to get excited over?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You know, I was thinking about this for a good few minutes. What kind of physical disability would bar you from using a videogame controller except Revolution's?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

What? You can't hold a (light) gun with only one arm? What is this? The 15th fucking century?

And the Revolution controller actually consists of two devices, requiring you to use both arms for most games, as far as I'm informed.

Maybe he was just mentally retarded and made that up.

"In my imaginary fantasy world, I couldn't play videogames until Revolution arrived."

Even if you win Red Steel, you're still retarded.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

There's two things about these screenshots that really irritate me.

First, the glow effect. I mean, every character and object has glowing edges. Why? Are there Flak searchlights set up in all these rooms? I don't want Revolution to have these terribly overused shader/lighting effects as seen in most Xbox 360 games. This doesn't look realistic at all!

Second, and this is why I'm actually questioning the authenticity of these images: Why are the men in the red suits posing absolutely identical in two different shots?





Take a close look at them. How can both of them be in the exact same pose at the same time in two different scenes? There's no way in hell this is actual gameplay.

How ya doing, buddy?

Look closer. It's not only the same model but the very same animation frame at the same time in two different shots. This can hardly be a coincidence.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I wonder if the authors of that article have even played the game.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

No matter how you look at it, something just doesn't seem right about these pictures. The characters seem to be "placed" in that scene without reacting to actual gameplay (or even casting shadows!). The screens have obviously been altered, so it's not entirely absurd that the insane lighting effects and sparks have been conveniently added as well. The longer I look at them, the more I'm convinced that there's no way this was rendered in real time.

I'll be taking these images with a grain of salt from here on and wait for actual gameplay footage. I seriously hope that they'll get rid of the terrible glowing everywhere, though. What is this, the glow console?

FELIPE NO

New videos, including cutscenes:

Spoiler:

This looks horrible.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Actually, the Katana fights look like the most boring thing I've ever seen in a videogame. Unfortunately, the number of kombos seems to be very limited.

The sniper rifle scene also looks awkward.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

What's so interesting about the sword fights? It's basically you going in circles and hacking or slashing your oponent. From those videos, you can't even tell wether they're using the remote or just press some buttons.

Everything is just totally uninspired compared to the first gameplay I've seen months ago.

How ya doing, buddy?
