New Red Steel screens and fact sheet





"Red Steel Fact Sheet

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Red Steel is an exclusive Wii launch title that takes full advantage of the console’s innovative controller and puts players directly into the action-packed first-person experience with the weapon in their hand – literally.

An engaging storyline unfolds as you learn that your fiancée has been kidnapped and her father – a Japanese mafia kingpin – murdered by a rival gang. The only way to save your loved one and defend your honor is to journey from Los Angeles to Japan and confront the Tokyo underworld.

By learning the ancient art of Japanese fighting with your katana and the focused precision of modern firearms, you will progress and adapt yourself to this foreign environment, where skills alone may not guarantee you victory.

Now that is the improvement in graphics we were all looking for. Those character models look much improved and the textures look more detailed as well. Shoot and use your sword at the same time? Looks very interesting, can't wait to see a video of the new build soon.

If you enjoy Nintendo, you should really pop over to joystiq to witness the massive damage the posters are dealing to the editor over there. Vlad Cole is trying to say nintendo fans are not rational because they buy a console that sells for profit. The entire joystiq community is handing Vlad his ass. Even penny arcade is jumping on the bandwagon. Its a fun but long read.

Saying that is just stupid and Joystiq is really walking a fine line here. We'll see what becomes of them saying that.

Like OMG, so he's saying buying a console is wrong because it benefits the company, just like buying Windows products benefits Microsoft or buying electronics benefits Sony?
