bullshot trailer, but the style is awesome and I'm actually looking forward to it.  It's a first person brawler set in the future plus a western plus samurai.

I guess if I look at it like a first person beat-em-up its cool.  I'm still waiting for a fps for wii with dumb fun deathmatch.  Maybe I'll pick up Modern Warfare 2, Conduit is a rental for now.

The fact that they're doing a total 180 from the first game means it'll probably be better at least.

How do you gather that?  The promotional vids are way similar duder.  To be fair I'm not keeping up with it so I may not know the dealio.

The first game was atrocious. It would be pretty hard not to be better.

Yeah, an HD trailer with high quality object motion blur.  Must be realtime.  :\

Seriously, though, I hope they can pull off something decent this time.  The original was awful.

I'm pretty confident it is coming out. I'm sure it won't be developed by infinity ward.

that actually looks pretty interesting. not $250 of interesting, but interesting nonetheless.

I like how its almost a scene for scene remake of the initial Red Steel 1 trailer in terms of posing jackasses and unrealistically high standards.

I almost bought the first Red Steel for $5. Then my better judgement kicked in.

Sweet. The 1:1 swordplay seems pretty awesome, if that part where he was playing with the sword wasn't a canned animation.

Pretty sure that's not realtime footage of the game. Over a 100 guys working on this, wtf, lol, kinda defeats the whole purpose of the Wii.

Awesome trailer. Will wait and see how close the final games  can get to this target render.

Edit: Is Wii Sports Resort still the first Wii game with Motion Plus support?

No, I think it's Tiger Woods or some other EA game in June.

 Virtua Tennis, Tiger Woods m+ bundle, and Grand Slam Tennis all ship on June 8th and preface Sports Resort by a month.

So.... if you have a gun, why do you need a sword?

The trailer kind of made the point its a close combat thing.  It seems foes are well armored and can deflect your shots.

Poor design, just like the first one.

Better watch your mouth, Cohen; this game is probably funding your next Party Animal Babiez project.

Why exactly does having a gun and sword=poor design?

Did you play the first one?  No?  Didn't think so.

Having both a gun and a sword wasn't why the game sucked. But the poor story/characters/voice acting/dialog and awful controls certainly were.

Did I say that was why it sucked?  No.  The problem was neither system complimented the other one and it didn't make any sense when you could use one or the other.  Of course the controls were the reason the game sucked, but there was a lot more that made the game a piece of shit.  Why the fuck they are wasting money on this is beyond me.

Ubisoft i guess.

If babiez can give them some money this has potential to also?

Looks more like a 360 to me.

I don't trust the Red Steel franchise.
Yeah, the first one was that bad.

Yea I played the game, and yea it sucked. Still don't see why a videogame that allows you to use a gun or sword=bad game design but obviously you're more versed on this than me. IF both mechanics had worked well who knows
