Damn, this is looking good.

Still not sure if the player is just an idiot with the swordfights or not, though...

Nitpicking is bad for the soul.

Seriously, this guy I knew used to find reasons to hate everything and everyone, little stupid reasons. He died at 28. Cause of death: unknown.

Unknown to medical science, but I know what killed him...

I'll nitpick all I want. DX
And I don't hate VGrevolution, in spite of my nitpicking.

I was expecting a comment about Ian, actually...

What error did I make again? I sure don't see one!

Smoke39 · « **Reply #579 on:** October 17, 2006, 10:26:43 PM »

Very clever. I'll quote you next time. Just you wait.

Smash: What? What about Ian?

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #580 on:** October 17, 2006, 10:35:23 PM »

The man who died from nitpicking. If that's the case, poor Ian's headed to an early grave.

He'll come around after Nintendo sells through all 4 million Wiis before the year is out, though.

That would be truly stunning if Nintendo sold 4 million Wii's before the end of the year, that would give them a HUGE head start on PS3 because I doubt we'll be seeing that many PS3s for quite awhile (maybe even worse than Xbox 360's console drought). IN regards to Red STeel, I really can't wait to play this game and I am keeping an open mind about the controls. I dunno but to me it has potential to be more realistic when it comes to turning than most FPSs, and could be a very unique experience since the gameplay will hopefully be built around it.

The most realistic thing I've seen about it is your ability to hide behind an obstacle while simultaneously shooting someone you can just barely see around the corner.

As for the sales, like I've said in other threads, Toys R Us predicted the Furby and Tickle Me Elmo as the hot selling xmas toys of their respective years.

Right now, guess which "toy" tops TRU's chart of hot toys of the season? That's right.

"Toy retailer Toys "R" Us has unveiled its "hot toy" list for the upcoming holiday season, and this year it includes a video game console for the first time—Nintendo Co. Ltd.'s Wii."

Looked pretty terrible lawl

Are you kidding?! Can't you see what fun they're having?!

Also, it seems the Wii can tell when you hide behind furniture.

Hmm...no multiplayer swordfighting = blech.

Looks good, but a bit on the "typical" side.

This game is slowly winning me over. It looks like....fun.

Lol even though I wasn't impressed with the multiplayer footage, you have a great point there

. I'm not going to judge it too harshly since we still don't know much about it besides this lame video and the scraps of information.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #592 on:** October 26, 2006, 08:17:52 PM »

Interesting that the video didn't show any sword fighting. I would figure that would be definately in the game...and a huge selling point for the multiplayer.

The experience does look pretty standard, but that is ok, since if it plays well that is all that matters.

I wish we had some journalists playing the multiplayer though, because I want to know if the experience is good...and not having any information worries me.

I understand your concerns too, and even though I am trying to keep an open mind I think it could be lacking in this department. If it does, I completely understand too since they seemed focused on a great single player experience.

WuTangTurtle · « **Reply #594 on:** October 26, 2006, 09:15:21 PM »

Only have annoucned multiplayer awhile back I'm too concerned, it's like they just now decided to tack it on. At this point I'd be okay with atleast a functional multiplayer and a good single player. Don't go in expecting Perfect Dark multiplayer options...

You know it's funny too, I had thought that after Perfect Dark set the standards for a four player FPS, all FPS games would use its amazingly well crafted menu, interface, and plethera of options as an example. Unfortunately though all we consistantly see are sloppy menu interfaces and a set of static options in almost every FPS game since.

In regards to the Red Steel video, it really cracked me up, especially the part Zakkiel mentioned about the guy jumping behind the furniture. The multiplayer is really reminding me of "Agent Under Fire" and "GoldenEye: Rogue Agent" for the GameCube, which isn't a good sign. Still worth a rent though, I can't wait to hide from my siblings behind the couch while I fire my 1337 rocket of death at them. They'll neeeeever see it coming.

EdFishy, I couldn't agree more on this point. Perfect Dark really set the standard for what I expect in a shooter's multiplayer mode, and since then noone has even come close to touching what Perfect Dark had. Hell, not even Perfect Dark 0 touched the awesomeness of the original Perfect Dark's multiplayer modes.

As far as Red Steel's multiplayer goes, I honestly couldn't care less. I am buying this game for the single player experience. I am hoping they add some sort of incentive for replayability in that mode. I always loved going back in Perfect Dark and Goldeneye and perfecting each mission (I beat both 100% unlocking all cheats and levels), hopefully Red Steel has some sort of incentive like these had.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #597 on:** October 27, 2006, 04:52:53 AM »

To be fair...we have been reading about multiplayer for awhile and what they had in mind. I am sure they didn't want people playing it because it wasn't perfect yet...but now it is getting to the point the game better be done so it can launch with the system...and as such they better be showing off multiplayer. There are 3 other multiplayer FPSers out there and I am waiting and getting the best of those.

WuTangTurtle · « **Reply #598 on:** October 27, 2006, 09:53:22 AM »

i think the only fps that comes close is TimeSplitters but even they didn't include everything that PD had, and yes i do know the dev was comprised of mainly ex Rare developers.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #599 on:** October 27, 2006, 09:58:59 AM »

I've never liked multiplayer FPSes on consoles. In the battle of the stick vs. the mouse, there's just no contest.
