I think that after all the hype on recent hard-core released games such as MadWorld, Deadly Creatures, HOTD:OK, and soon to be released The Conduit passes out, we will start to see some news about Red Steel II. So, what it needs to be a great game? I really liked a lot of aspects of the first one and hated others, overall concluding that it is far from alluring, but it's a good game, used by me to refresh the mind while playing truly engaging games, most of GameCube.

This list includes something I'd like to be added to the sequel, mint improvements, things to be addressed, and cool things that I want to stay as it is:

-It could be a sandbox FPS, using some sort of Chinatown as the main scenario, inspired by GTA and BioShock;

-A woman in the leading role;

-Base all the artistic direction on the comic-style of the cut-scenes from the original, it's a lot stylish;

-Graphics to be cel-shading graphic-novel-like, the best way to dribble the hardware;

-Regular online multi-player;

-Online improvements with something original (e.g.: interacting with other users while in single-player campaign);

-Boss fights!;

-Weapon upgrading and merchants like RE4;

-Control tuning as we all saw in The Conduit;

-A map;

-An inventory;

-Not the S shaped missions we have in the original, as I've said, open-world gameplay could fix this;

-I really liked the voice-acting and like even more the soundtrack, wants more of this Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon worshiped musics;

-Mixed gameplay, with cars!;

-1:1 sword-fighting;

-More weapons in the mode above (e.g.: mace, flail, nunchaku!, knife, axe, hammer, etc...);

-(more ideas...).

I'm playing it right now, and got impressed with the great and deep magick system.

A shame it was not re-used in more games.

Casual game in sheep's clothing.

I don't care if it does get released in japan. They get so many good games their that don't come over. It is about time this good game does not get released over their. It will matter anyway, they would not buy it.WllDan7

I think that this game will be a huge success here.

[QUOTE="raphaa"]Ok, Capcom is not dumb enough and is releasing Dead Rising: Chop... here. Another western aimed gory-violent game.despa1r_fact0r

I assume that my english could be incomprehensive sometimes, but you confirmed what I've said.

... because of motion sickness, which I believe is very common there. If it is that common, I think there's a good reason why The Counduit won't be released thereLordQuorthon

I really don't know, but all of the PS3/360 shooters was released here.

For the Wii, Metroid, Medal of Honor, Red Steel and Call of Duty.
