First Revolution Title Revealed

Well somewhat.

Next issue of GameInformer which hits next week will have an 11 page hands on feature with the first ever Revolution game. Exclusive from Ubisoft.

From what I gathered its a FPS w/ swordfighting elements.

Titled well Red Steel.

My dream of having a gunfight in a pachinko palor has come true.

And FPS combined. With SWORDS.

it is highly unusual for a company like nintendo to allow the axclusive first look at one of its consoles through a 3rd party game like red steel.but as it turns out , nintendo has been closely involved in the development of this game, and has great confidence that it is a perfect way to introduce the world to revolution . developed by ubisoft paris , one of the publishers oldest and most experienced teams , red steel is a mixture of old and new: a fps that that uses the revolutions controller for aiming - and much more. while nintendo obviously has several games in development for the revolution launch , the company simply doesnt make games like red steel , so letting a respected publisher like ubisoft introduce the revolution through an easy -to - understand game type allows both companies to demonstrate what they do best .."

Dyne, I dont know if I can take that quote as credible nomatter what it is talking about. They spelled "exclusive" wrong in the first line. That was enough for me to stop reading.

Interesting.

I was at a local arcade recently, some game from Konami where you hold this wired "stick" in your hand and swing with the sword on screen. Pretty fun though the "stick" was a little heavy. I liked it.

holy crap, my blog has gotten 10,000 hits since i posted those scans. anyways, i just finished reading the actual article in game informer, and it says that the sword and guns can be twisted in your hand, by twisting the rev's remote. so you can shoot gangster style and block with the sword. also, there is split screen and online multiplayer planned, just no details yet. you can also jump over and take cover behind objects by moving the rev's remote towards a upturned table or a wall, and reload by pulling the remote back. by the way, they are ingame screenshots. this game is looking ****ing hot as hell.

And to reiterate

it does not seem to be a rail shooter.

Well it is paraphrasing from the magazine.

BreakABone · 04-07-2006, 07:06 PM

More choice quotes from the magazine.

As well as new pics being up on the link above.

Quote:

Anytime you see an enemy with a sword of his own, you'll need to take yours out right away or his blade will make short work of you.

Quote:

"In many situations there will be a higher ranking enemy who commands the others in the area. By defeating him and sparing his life, he will offer you his respect and help. The enemies he commands will surrender their guns, and the boss may offer you a new weapon, a special path through the level, or other reward. Any time you spare an enemy you will be rewarded, as it always takes more skill to spare a life than to take it."

Quote:

"Although the majority of Red Steel's gameplay will stress ranged combat, there will be times you need to get up close and personal. You can switch to the sword at any time, and if you can get close enough to the enemy, you can use it for one-hit stealth kills. In other moments, you'll find yourself locked into intense one-on-one sword duels."

Quote:

"Little things like the ability to rotate the gun in you hand may not sound like a big deal, but all these little things add up to create precisely what the team was hoping to achieve with Red Steel, immersion. We may only have played sample stages, but we really felt like we were living them, experiencing their events firsthand."

Quote:

"You'll also be able to lob grenades by imitating throwing a ball with the controller in your hand, or even roll it along the ground with an underarm throw."

Ubisoft Paris...is that the team that did Rayman 2?

Anyways, I think its safe to say this game is looking better than anyone couldve possibly imagined based on the Revolutions specs.
