Earlier this month, Ubisoft held a press event in Paris to promote Red Steel, a launch title for the Nintendo Wii. In fact, it's one of seven Wii titles Ubisoft is publishing in December - and as EMEA executive director Alain Corre noted in a speech at the event, that's the most support the publisher has ever given a new console at launch.
Having had the chance to give Red Steel a go, GamesIndustry.biz sat down with Corre to find out more about Ubisoft's commitment to Nintendo's new machine. They also got to discuss the current console transition, the European PS3 delay, and those rumours concerning a possible acquisition by EA... Read on to find out more.
Game Informer - This week we're taking a look at the ambitious Wii launch title, Red Steel.
Take a look at some recent games that everybody loves to hate despite the fact that they're not so bad.
That Batman MP sucked ass, but the campaign was awesome. It had the best writing and boss fights in the series.
I agree with the addition of Lost World. It wasn't perfect, but neither was it a bad game. Heck, when you have games like Sonic 06' and Rise of Lyric, calling it a bad game would be an INSULT.
Lost World is a pretty good game and some of the levels esp early on are pretty much Genesis levels in 3D with branching paths and momentum based. The articles is one of 4 people I seen online ACTUALLY understand what Sonic is. It's not speed but momentum on Genesis.
Sadly, Star Wars: Battlefront is NOT Battlefield with a Star Wars skin. If it was, the game would be much better.
I had no idea Red Steel was hated so much. That was one of the better Wii launch games IMO. Had a lot of fun playing multiplayer.
I liked Red Steel too! Red Steel 2 as well. I do not care for Red Steel 2's graphics so much, but a fun game!
Wow I forgot there was a Red Steel 2! And judging from the ratings, it seems way better.
Just think, within every trash bag, box, and everything else shootable there is money. We could all be rich!!
But seriously...Red Steel 2 was fantastic
This is a retro review of Red Steel, a launch title for the Wii by Ubisoft.
Sounds like Ubi is on it's way to make a killing with these 3 consoles. Lets hope it won't go to their heads
