Nobody's suspicious of that "Destination Playstation" in the beginning?

Screw that i'm still wondering why it says this:

for internal use only

At first i thought they meant you should only use M+ indoors, but then why not just say "indoor use only"? :p

[BlackNMild2k1]

Easy now, thats not the Cure for everything. Its too early to be drinking

[GoldenPhoenix]

It still looks like the sword fighting is arena based, so fail anyway.

I really doubt that.

[EasyCure]

Easy now, thats not the Cure for everything. Its too early to be drinking

but it said 'internal use only' the whole freaking "trailer"! why am i the only one that notices? (i figured if anything Pro wouldve made a "lotion puss" comment..)

Maybe it is for Wii and PS3!

I'm calling bullshit on that one.

There were more important things to comment on, mainly untangling Ubi's web of lies.

The trailer got leaked. Internal use means no sharing with people outside the company.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Ubi had good intentions (don't show the not-a-game-yet concept stuff to the public) but poor execution this time around (bad PR security over the footage material).

It's apparent why they labeled the trailer as "internal use only"... It's like the first time they "showed" Red Steak, but with a twist.

When Red Steak footage was first shown it came in the form of a concept trailer using pre-rendered footage (the tattoo guy fight).  When new trailers came and people got hands-on time with it, the game obviously missed its mark.

From my newfound understanding, Ubi really didn't want the world to see this Steak2 trailer, cuz they didn't want to repeat what happened last time (or did they?  hype helps sales).  LOLZ, SO MUCH FOR THAT.

This quote sums it up beautifully:

"Since that trailer was leaked, expectations for the game are at an all time high and unfortunately Ubisoft will most likely never be able to meet them."

[GoldenPhoenix]

Quotes with no source are fun.

Some new details

- some aspect of leveling up your character
- gun and sword combos
- “RS2 is tightly focused on intensely physical first person sword fighting, with gunplay a secondary option”
- hold Z to lock onto enemy
- hold down C and swing to block, vertical and horizontal blocks
- switch lock-on at any time
- screen prompts you if you’re being attacked from behind. Press A to quick-turn in this situation
- many enemies wear bulletproof armor
- not open world
- not a linear game, multiple paths to take
- several hub-worlds
- side quests
- collectibles
- return to old areas with new powers and abilities
-”non-combat use of MotionPlus wont be limited to opening doors”
- boss fights
- production began last summer
- Ubisoft discussing the lack of multiplayer: “We would love to create a multiplayer engine, but not right now. It’s single player because we want to really focus on the core mechanic and as much as we all want to kill each other with swords, it’s not going to happen this time.
- Ubisoft on releasing a multiplayer mode through DLC: “That would be cool. The world has changed, and we can do that sort of thing. I certainly think that would be cool. I’d buy it. But we need to be careful bringing out something that people think should be in the main game.”

This is really starting to sound like a Suda 51 project.

Makes sense, but you figure something like that would be plastered all over the damn thing to make people not want to leak it. Thats just me though.

For the love of god, Ubi don't **** this up.  The concept is too awesome. 

Wait, this is like asking a dog to talk more clearly.

Ubisoft can create good games, sometimes.

roooby rooby ruuuu!

If this game delivers, awesome. If this game fails, sucks to be Ubi.

I'm not getting on the hype trian for this though.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Yeah, off the hype TRAINS until the Stimulated Package builds some super railroads.

Hop on the Excite BOTS.

Save it for my Spirit Tracks cosplay

[ShyGuy]

I'm honestly not as hyped as I was for Red Steel because of the setting. I prefer the "REAL WORLD" settings of being in back alleys and Japanese gardens fighting gangsters to the fantasy settings of a space cowboy fighting desert ninjas.

[Dirk Temporo]

I prefer the "REAL WORLD"...to...a space cowboy fighting desert ninjas.

what is this i don't even

I likes the sound of those points. Especially that it has a lot a free-roaming play. The one thing I didn't like about No More Heroes was how most of the sword fighting was in contained areas and narrow hallways. Your sword was pretty much useless outside in the city.

[NWR_insanolord]

This game is sounding better and better and this along with Rabbids Go Home may actually be the "Nintendo-quality titles". Most of the listed features sound good but one of them stood out for me.

- block bullets with your sword
