Red Steel 2 to Feature Wii MotionPlus Support

Jul. 28 8:17 PM by Alicia Ashby

It begins! Alan Corre, Ubisoft's executive director, revealed to GamesIndustry.biz today that the upcoming title Red Steel 2 will feature Wii MotionPlus support.

Corre believes that the Wii technology wasn't finished at the time of launch, but the recent announcement by Nintendo that the MotionPlus add-on will track true 1:1 responsive movement will allow the development team to realise its ambitions.

"The Red Steel brand is strong - I think we released it on year one, and that people understood that it was a first try on new technology, technology that wasn't completely finished. And our game tried to grab the best out of it, and was a bit rushed to be sure to offer something in year one to Wii consumers," he added.

"So Red Steel is a brand, and as with every brand we have, we now have to reach the top quality possible. What was missing was the preciseness of the sabre - and with this new device I think it will change the experience."

Red Steel 2 could actually turn out to be decent. If they fix the aiming, implement this correctly, and have a good online mode. But then again, I'm not quite ready to trust a Ubisoft Wii game.

Too bad there's almost no information about this game.

 

This is lookin' pretty good! Here's to hoping!

 

If at first you don't succeed...
