Ubisoft's Quest to make Legions of Star Wars KidsWii know who you are. You know its the truth. You know that you have considered how cool and l33t it would be to be trained in the art of the Samuri, while at the same time having a John McClane attitude when it comes to operating a sidearm. Yet rather than being disciplined and join a Krav Maga class, or seek out a Shaolin temple, you just lay on the sofa eating doritos watching Blind Date while, ironically, critcizing the tool who is dating the hot girl/guy. Well no need to fret, Ubisoft has created a world for you to evaluate your potential to become sword wielding, gun totin' stud(ette).
Red Steel is a game that will be exclusively offered on the Wii. It is a third person shooter game that is spiced up by allowing the main character to perform some complicated sword play. Although the Wii controller is a new, and most people have the same coordination as a person with two left feet, their are concerns about how accurate and responsive the Wii controller will be for a game that will have demanding and complicated moves. According to Marie-Sol Beaudry, producer of Red Steel in the Ubisoft Paris studio, you will not have to take fencing lessons in order to enjoy Red Steel. Ubisoft did allow people to play the game that the latest E3 conference which yielded plenty of feedback. Beaudry achknowledges the many challenges presented in developing a game that demands such complex interaction, but stated they are continuing to tweak the controls to optimize the game and ensure it’s a great experience on all levels. Basically the goal is to make sure the game character appears to be smooth and graceful while performing difficult moves even though the player might actually appear epileptic and like he missed his medication as he plays the game.To see what a real pro looks like when playing this game, check out the Red Steel Trailor. |
