Red Steel 2 isn't a direct sequel to Red Steel but it's still called Red Steel 2.

But the "Jedi Outcast" part of the title is specifically referring to Kyle Katarn.

I wonder if Red Steel 2 will be $50? If so I'd think that would indicate we could see more bundled games with motion plus without jacking the price up.

If 3rd parties are going to do good this time, there's no point in me visiting these forums.

While I wait for IGN to load, let me just say that Ubisoft's conference was the most painful thing I've ever had to watch. If everyone at Ubi is treated equally, then let the janitor who actually speaks English tell us what you're trying to say. Oh, and if you're going to hype a game, then SHOW THE FUCKING GAME.

I think this just became my most anticipated game on any platform.  I love the visual style, and the sword combat looks like a bajillion times better than the first game.  Finally an FPS with some personality!

Hello, dear.

Btw, does anyone have any idea if the dev team of Red Steel 2 has any members in common with the team that did XIII?

edit: wikipedia sez they were both developed by Ubi's Paris studio.  I wonder if someone there wanted to take another crack at the comic book style after XIII didn't do so hot, or if it's just a coincidence.

It's possible, Smoke. Someone(s) there could be a huge fan of Cel-Shaded graphics.

Wow. What an exciting way to introduce the walkthrough, 50xs better then "Let's climb mountains slowly" like they did with Modern Warfare 2. The visuals are beautiful.

It's really disappointing that they're once again keeping the game rated T and no blood. Takes away the entire meaning of "Red Steel" if you ask me.

Don't care after watching the walkthrough and reading the impressions the game has been up to one of my most anticipated titles PERIOD. Looks like Ubisoft has gotten something right (I mean with visuals like that and locked at 60fps is a huge accomplishment in itself).

I don't think it really matters.  It's not an over the top gorefest like Madworld.  And somehow I actually kinda like that about it, even though I do enjoy over the top gorefests.  It makes the game feel a little more light-hearted.  It's about the action, not the gore.

Not saying that it's a deal-breaker, it's just kind of stupid to call the game Red Steel, if you can't turn any steel...red. I mean a few times in the video on G4 I saw him impale a dude with the sword, no reaction. They should put the Wii's parental controls to work - if they're on, the game is T, with no blood - if they're off, it's M, with blood.

I wonder how the ESRB would handle that.  "Rated T through M"?

Too risky, Brandogg. Remember how the "Hot Coffee" fiasco came to be. Clever hackers could easily unlock it.

I think no blood is going to become Red Steel 2's version of no split screen multiplayer in Conduit.

If I remember correctly the original Perfect Dark let you turn blood on or off and was rated M.

Pah! No blood is merely a graphical difference. No split-screen multi is dropping the ball on an essential gameplay feature. Maybe they should have worried about that instead of trying to get LAN to work since LAN is a no go with Nintendo (unless they wow us tomorrow at Nintendo's conference).

The world must be coming to an end, Ubisoft is releasing TMNT: Smash Up, Rabbids go Home, and Red Steel 2? Three games i am extremely interested in? I am scared.
