Retro_Link Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Yeah if it's the Paris Studio then there's a good chance it's for Red Steel 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCK Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Sounds like Red Steel 2 to me. Let's hope this is Unreal Engine 3 Wii Edition, and not the Unreal Engine 2.5 GameCube Edition frpm Red Steel they're referring to. It depends on how much Ubi is willing to invest...

IMJ Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Sounds pretty good. I certainly won't mind Red Steel 2, as the original was a very enjoyable game, albeit with some launch title issues. If they spend more time ironing out the bugs, improve the cutscenes and controls (which were fine to start with IMO), it'll be a great game. If it's a different title, it's fine as well. Anything with a high production value is what the Wii needs more of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizmo Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I thought Unreal Engine 3 wasn't being ported to the Wii? Re-reading it doesn't specify which UE it is though. We can hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I'd be very surprised if this was the Unreal 3 Engine...would they really put in the effort trying to get it running on the Wii? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teppo Holmqvist Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Well, I asked this from my pal who knows programmers at Ubisoft Paris. He forwarded my question to his friends, and the cynical answer* he got was "One of those shitty games for Wii that nobody wants to develop and nobody wants to play. Can't disclose more.". Doesn't sound very promising. * word to word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrocasilva Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I thought Unreal Engine 3 wasn't being ported to the Wii? Re-reading it doesn't specify which UE it is though. We can hope. Gearbox was doing it, Gearbox works with Ubisoft though... But I doubt it, judging from Ubisoft treatment we're getting... I'm not expecting much. I expect a little from gearbox though. (ubisoft will publish that) But the fact that it was being done by a developer alone means that UE3 still won't be licenced for Wii.

I also doubt the guys who did raving rabbids really wanted to do a second game, they'd rather do Beyond Good and Evil 2, for example.

Tellyn Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Teppo, you seem to have 'contacts' in every development studio. I think you use 'contacts' to portray your own opinions, but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teppo Holmqvist Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Teppo, you seem to have 'contacts' in every development studio. Not really. Mostly on media. But anyways, I assume we are going to hear about this project tomorrow, as Ubisoft is keeping their own, two day media event too: http://www.ubidays.com/index_uk.php I don't except much from it, but it could be interesting.

ShadowV7 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Got an e-mail about Ubidays and there is those 2 Red Steel characters there down at the bottom,so maybe Red Steel 2 will get officially announced now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I thought R6: Vegas on the 360 was awesome, and Assassin's Creed has a great amount of potential. Ubisoft and the Wii though, *shudder*, they've been cashing in on some really crap games, when is there actually going to be a good (original) Wii game from Ubisoft bar Rabbids?

McMad Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Ubisoft's only good Wii Game so far is Red Steel. Funny Joke. Seriously though Red Steel had potential but was rushed into release so the game was very buggy and the novelty of playing wore off quickly (Sword Fighting wasn't even fun) after the Fun House level. The rest of the game was painful to play, compared to many good FPSes Red Steel was very average. I guess I should put IMO here since this is my opinion and you can still like the game no matter my opinion. Actually to be fair though I haven't played Rabbids so that could turn out to be not that great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcj metroid Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Ubisoft's only good Wii Game so far is Red Steel. Red steel is quite good but rayman is better. red steel 2 will be awesome i believe.All they need to do is correct all the following problems. 1:graphics were average made a little better from overly bright lightning 2:Make the god damn crosshair more visable 3:Better controls,faster turning. button for zooming in this time. 4:Voice acting that doesn;t make you laugh 5:Music is fine but it's all over the place 6:Actual cutscenes not those cheap comic pictures 7:Sword fightning needs improvment 8: Better balance of weapons. Why is the pistol the best weapon? 9:Single player lasts long enough but the multiplayer needs more effort and we also want multi sword fighting. 10: on-line with sword fightning 11:honestly i don't think the recharging health bar works in this game That's all i can think of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steggy Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Just borrowed Red Steel off of a friend, it's quite good. But I think the frame rate lets it down to be honest. So I think you should add that to your list mcj. Have only got a little way into the game so far, just gone to tokyo, so I don't know how it plays out from there.
