The French site LiveWii brings word that UbiSoft has announced that they are making Red Steel 2. According to the article, they're justifying making the second game by saying that they're completely reworking the sword system. There's no announcement yet as to whether or not the game will support online play or anything, but there should be more details rolling out soon.
Phil writes, "Too often we see video game sequels that don't quite live up to their predecessors... but we already have an article series dedicated to those games. Instead, let's take a look at those video game sequels that not only live up to their predecessors but greatly surpass them in quality. It's time to bring back The Most Improved Video Game Sequels (you can read part one here) to check out these sensational sequels that delivered and did so in a deliciously delightful manner."
Resident Evil 4
Ratchet & Clank 2
Silent Hill 2
Street fighter 2
Castlevania: Symphony of the night
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Assassins Creed 2
Metal Gear Solid (not first game in the series)
Tekken 3
God of War (2018)
Mortal Kombat 9
Devil May Cry 3
Virtua Fighter 4
Luigis Mansion 3 doesn’t really belong in that list because the first game was great and it’s sequels didn’t really redefine the series.
There’s more to Ubisoft’s back catalogue than its Templar-bothering flagship franchise and we’re here to prove it. By grovelling for remasters, of course.
With the Switch bringing interest back into the realm of motion controls, it seems as good a time as any to dip back into the backlog and retrieve some lucrative nuggets from the one that launched the phenomenon in the first place: the Nintendo Wii.
Well that's okay as long as they don't rush the title
It takes a LOT of nerve, and/or arrogance to create a sequel for such a poorly executed game IMO.
I hated the way the first game was controlled, and aside from the attempt at control innovation, the was horrid.
It was a promising title back when it was still in developement, but they failed to deliver on the final build.
I think if they get the sword control down then the game will be much better I do own the first one but never really played it, I put it in a few times but had too many other titles to play to give it my attention, so the prospect of having a good red steel intrigues me...
"Contra26 you have hit the nail on the head. Many sony fanboys bash halo because of its greatness. Yet hype up a game which sucked big-time, just like the getaway."
I'll tell you, the jealousy from X-box fans never does stop. A post about Red steel 2, a Wii game and you drag some PS3 into it. Fear does that, I guess.
correct me if i'm wrong but did that game even sell well on the Wii? How many Wii owners on here have that title?
