I think it's mentioned in the mags, I don't see where else people would be getting information from. I think it would work either way. 1:1 control for people with it, Force Unleashed control for those without. Left/right up/down/ thrust moves recognised. But it's probably motion plus exclusive.

"It looks impressive, the art style works well. I need to see in game footage before I make any firm conclusions about whether this is worth looking forward to though. Especially after the first game, I thought that game was terrible.. The fact that it's for motion plus exclusively, is reassuring. "

I'm pretty sure that that is in game footage. I wonder if you will actually be able to "gangsta wield" the gun unlike shown in this trailer. "

It looks good enough to be a 360 game, so it's probably a bullshit video by Ubisoft (like always). I really dig the new style though."

Wait...

I'm a COWBOY?!?

SOLD!

We are getting a game different from the Trailer.  Just how it works.  The game is exaggerated.

looking decent.

I think I'm going to see the reviews first before I buy this one.

Stuff from Nzone from GoNintendo. Keep in mind the translation issues as well as the questionable conversion to bullet points and the fact the game has about 5 development months left to go still.

- correct angle and force of a swing are important
- you can enter an options menu that allows you to change the force necessary to perform powerful swings
- flick Wiimote to pull out sword
- quick on-the-fly weapon switching, no inventory
- quick-time event for enemy parry, when the situation comes up
- once you fire a shot, enemies will charge you
- yellow indicator is always present on screen (like we know what that is?)
- there are different weapons, such as a shotgun
- seems that weapons will be upgradeable somehow
- block bullets with your sword
- if you start the game without Motion Plus, the screen will stay black and the game won’t progress (so, Motion Plus exclusive)
- setting: eastern influences mixed with wild-west america set in the near-future
- other areas in the game will also show Asian influence
- art director flew to Japan and took about 6,000 pics in order to get a good feel for the design approach
- main character is the only one able to accomplish the task of saving the world
- a warlord is the main villain
- more that 15 different enemy types
- no one from the first game returns
- some enemies will have heavier armor and bulletproof vests
- at least 5 bosses
- story development came last, gameplay was first
- 30% linear, 70% free-roaming within massive levels
- 70% huge free-roaming levels in which you receive new missions via radio
- choose the missions you want
- destroy barriers with Katana moves you learn later (this sounds like a lame way of opening new paths)
- 6 enemies may attack at once
- as of right now, the game has 10+ hours of content

I like the way the game looks, but I'm already feeling like this art style is going to quickly outstay its welcome.  Regardless, the direction of this game has me feeling a little tingly about it.  Hopefully, they don't fuck it up.

Can't wait for Red Steel 2. looks and sounds promising.

. . . y r u hear?"

The trailer was 720p, so no, not actual gameplay.  I also highly doubt the animations / physics / gameplay will be that realistic looking.

The trailer is of hardly great quality just because it's 720p, it may as well be merely upscaled and the uploader chose HD to keep it watchable. But yes, it's been confirmed as a pre-production video. Still, the scans show different scenes with a slightly different look but more or less equal quality. Perhaps they're legit. I didn't see any impressive physics and animations are hardly dependant on the hardware. As long as they have the talent working for it, it's possible. Do they? We'll just have to wait and see. There's not much hope with Ubisoft but at least they said it runs @ 60 fps so it won't have the slowdowns of the first. Hopefully, the rest of it is decent too.
