This sucks...the Japanese feel was the best part of the first one...maybe they'll do some sort of Japanese-Western crossover or something, I'd like to see how that works.

Okay, here's a link to GoNintendo, with bulletpoints about the game.

It's pretty much official. This game isn't an FPS. It's a first person adventure game with a not-quite-linear-yet-not-quite-open world, with RPG elements. If this game is a critical success, it may become one of the most promising new IPs from this generation. They don't have much competition, really. Elder Scrolls is pretty much the only first-person adventure RPG around.

God, I hope it works right. This could be the best game on Wii, as it definitely has all the right assets.

That was a part of the Way of the Samurai series, if I'm not mistaken. I was a fan of the series (WotS 2 in particular), and this one wasn't too shabby. Nonetheless, the games also weren't *ahem* incredible. They were very much indie games.

Then again...I'm still pissed that America hasn't gotten Way of the Samurai 3. = / Hopefully, we'll hear something promising out of E3. = D

As for Red Steel 2 - look, as far as anything is concerned, shitting on a plate would be better than the first game at this point. They need to do some drastic changes on the franchise. Offering up a Western setting ala Sukiyaki Western Django would be fucking sweet. Nonetheless, if the gameplay isn't compelling enough and the controls aren't properly implemented, then I'm going to be uber-bummed. I would love a long game with depth, but I'm not holding my breath.

Now...I need to find a copy of Way of the Samurai 2 somewhere!!!

Where you live again? Don't worry. I won't break any windows trying to steal the game...

They changed a lot, eh? That makes me more confident. -_- Seriously, Red Steel had good ideas...but they were just poorly implemented. If they would just make the sword mechanic not so...clunky...and the shooting in the game a bit more...worthwhile and enjoyable...then that would've been good. Better AI would've helped as well. The set pieces were pretty damn awesome, as the one thing I remember about that entire game was every single level.

Either way, between Red Dead Redemption and Red Steel 2 getting the Western genre back up and running...

...maybe we'll hear Activision Blizzard drop "Gun 2" at E3 this year?! THAT WOULD ROCK MY FUCKING SOCKS OFF!!!

Everyone thought that the first Red Steel was going to be awesome. It looks much better, but I'm still skeptical.

The first game was terrible, but if they can do it well as a Western, I can dig it. As a genre that's totally untapped, this could be something good.
