All I want to see is someone walk by and have him punch them in the face by accident.

i'm obviously going to wait for reviews on this, but it might get me back on my Wii which i haven't even turned ON in a long long time.

I do appreciate them doing the whole, "see! It actually does it!" approach.

Looks pretty cool, but its a little worrisome that we have seen VERY little in the way of variation in the environments.

@girdz: My thoughts exactly. This video needs more concealment via living room furnishings.

Red Steel 3 Xbox360 exclusive launching alongside natal, it's gonna happen. All joking aside I cannot trust this game. The trailers for the first one made it look all super awesome just like this one does but I was very let down. I'll wait for a few reviews or maybe rent it first which is what I should have done the first time around.

gameplay looks okey(if this really is REAL gameplay) but the game itself looks boring as hell, probebly because the setting doesn't do anything for me. For the record neather does RDR, westerns are just not my thing.

Looks like there's a pretty good amount of latency in those controls.  Unfortunate.

He does nothing but low input big impact special moves what a waste of the motion plus' capabilities, sword fighting on the Wii was finally done right in Wii Sports Resort and it looks like it may be the only one.

See, and here's the problem with the Wii, there's always gonna a be a delay, however slight, between your motion and the motion on the screen. And if there's a delay, that is, if you don't feel that your motions and the motions on screen are one and the same, then the controls don't provide any more immersion than regular  button controls

Looks bad... It might have better controls than the first but it doesn't look any more interesting.

Looks boring. Thant and the Motion plus doesn't live up to what it should be. Still reacts like a millisecond later.

Hopefully the scenery changes up a little bit, or that was all footage from one small section.  Also, this really made me decide that I should get a projector for gaming.  Bioshock on that screen would be the most immersive experience ever.

Looks like a pretty good sword fighting/gun wielding game. Could be good. I'm really digging that art style.

Meh, not to want to troll or anything but i think the Sony motion control tech demo looked like a lot more fun than this. It's still just waggle, seriously.

Not sure why they took out the blood and M rating. That's disappointing. But it still looks like a much better game than the first.

I can't see this game holding my attention for very long.  Seems kind of boring.
