Yay! Finally managed to download and watch the whole thing.. although there wasn't a lot of more indepth stuff after the red steel stuff.

 

I thought Red Steel looked pretty sweet. The graphics looked good to me.. especially the bit where he was shooting guns out of people's hands.. the lighting when the gunshots came throught eh paper screen looked good.

 

Red steel's gameplay looks not bad... but i'm a little worried it might lack depth. The swordfighting looked good, especially the blocking. But if there aren't more complex combos, or more complex timings to learn then it might get repetetive.

The shooting, on the whole, looked similar to a lot of console FPS games in terms of accuracy. Possibly a bit too sensitive.. and i think they need to make turning a bit smoother. I don't think the reticule should move as far from the centre of the screen as it does, otherwise you are kind of shooting blind when you are at the edge of the screen.

On the whole it looks great.. but hope the final version is a bit more in-depth and has a few sensitivity options.

Again, on behalf of Ubisoft who is worried about people being misled, the demo's DO NOT reflect what the final version of the game will feel and look like. There have been a lot of improvements made due to suggestions and worries people have had and the folks at Ubisoft have made sure to tackle all of the issues people are having with Red Steel.

 

This is not me trying to convince you of this, I'm just relaying what Ubisoft has been saying.

 

 

Also, here are some Far Cry details...

And it looks like the PS3 in PAL regions (Europe, Australia, etc) is being DELAYED to around March 2007... I gotta say, Sony is taking a huge risk with this. Not only are they underestimating Nintendo but they're making it harder for themselves to catch up to Microsoft who has quite a head start. Nintendo can pounce on this now cause if they can get Wii launched just before Christmas in PAL regions then they'll be on their way to a good headstart too.

Furthermore, Sony is lowering it's estimate sales of the PS3 cause they can't keep up with production... in short, things aren't going well...

well back on the topic of Wii, i think it was the lack of HDR which made me think the graphics of Red Steel were average. I mean it stil looked good but that beautiful shine u see on most PC games should really be a minimum standard for next gen consoles including the Wii.

I think it is the lighting and shader effects that make most "next gen" games look any different to the current gen. Its true that there are also a lot more polygons floating about.. but that actually makes very little overall difference to the visuals.. its the extra shine/sweat/lighting/depth of field effects that make things look newer and spanglier.

 

I dunno enough about the graphics chip inthe wii to know how well it can pull those off.

 

That IS the updated red steel though.. with major improvements from e3.

 

I also don't get this thing about being "too close to the tv". From what i understand of how the wiimote works that sould have no effect at all.

It has to do with the pointer and the sensor bar, the demo's don't have any option to configure the wiimote so that it can overcome this problem of standing too close to the TV.

Not that I already wanted one extremly badly, the Splinter Cell on Wii is just gonna be pimp ****. And I want to know if that screenshot is on the Wii because if so, god damn.
