Red Steel 2 to be CEL SHADED and 60 fps ...first stunning ingame pic on pg 4!!

[QUOTE="finalfantasy94"]

Well im loving the look of the game. THe no blood makes me a little sad,but I can deal. So let me get this straight its basically a reboot? Also did they say or at least hint at a release date?

Im really dieing for this game. Im actually 1 of the 5 people who liked the first one.

To those whining about cel shading I realise it may not be to everyones taste but please dont assume that it is a lazy option for less technically proficient developers. A perfect example of this would be Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. Both, believe it or not, are using the same engine (albeit TP is enhanced) yet even now Wind Waker holds up visually far better than its counterpart on wii and gamecube and will continue to do so while TP looks evermore aged. If the game is able to use its art to create a compelling experiencethat you enjoy then the technique should not matter. Just because a game is cel shaded dosent mean there is any less going on under the hood, if anything it can be more intensive as the developers have less to base their imagery off and must use real creativity. Just look at Eternal Sonata and Prince of Persia for proof that cel shading isnt just for rubbish efforts.

[QUOTE="EmperorZeruel"][QUOTE="IronBass"] Eh... that doesn't make much sense. Cell-Shading is just another type of art direction. Is not necessary easier to programm than realistic graphics (check PoP or Okami).ActicEdge

No, its not easy to do cell shading and make it look genuinely good. Few games ever acomplish this. As far as how impressive it makes games look, that's opinion, I find stuff like Muramasa far more impressive than all the generic shooters around regardless of whether they are technically superior. Please don't pass your opinion of deving techniques off as fact becasue youcouldn't be further from the truth.

Personally, I'd choose cel shaded graphics over realistic anyday. Those rendering styles (artistic)hold up longer and are still astheticallly beautiful.

I wonder if Red Steel 2 will break my heart again...

[QUOTE="pyromaniac223"] Just because KZ2 was good after a bad first installment doesn't mean that Red Steel will be good too. Guerilla really stepped it up with a huge budget and dev cycle that I'm not sure the Red Steel devs will have.pyromaniac223

Wow, that art direction is awesome.Haziqonfire

Isn't cell-shading much harder to do than realistic graphics?

Is this a Wii only game ?

If it is, sorry but i can't get hyped, at all

Considering how abysmal the first was, it's going to have have some -massive- improvements for me to even consider trying it. The first was simply rubbish. Maybe this will be better...jonnyt61

wow this game looks like it is going to be a little boring. The enviroments look kind of dull and lifeless. Reminds me of The Conduit.gamefan67

Honestly haters simply need to try harder.

Oh, it's certainly less hardwre intensive, but it's harder to create.

The look isn't what I'm so interested in. I just hope they fix the major flaws that the first one apparently had: glitches, gameplay, story/dialogue/voice-acting. I was really keen on it, so hopefully this will turn out better. Since it's using Wi motion plus, and they've had more time to work on this one, I think it may just turn out good. Even if it gets a 7.0 I'll give it a try, especially after Madworld which was great. It does look good though, and maybe the change of direction is a good sign because they're going to the trouble of re-inventing it.

So is there definitely no multiplayer? Sorry, I play shooters for the MP, not the single player.Dr_Corndog
