Heh, dunno about that. Still looks a bit dull to me though.

Red Steel looks arse.

Can't fault Mario, though. Apart from having Mario in it, obviously

Don't get me wrong, guys - I'm not saying Red Steel looks great. I'm just saying it's starting to look good *for a Wii game* is all.

And I guess KB's right about the resolution, didn't notice

Who cares what it looks like and how many bleedin' pixels, etc that it has? I, for one, do not give a flying fig.

Red Steel looks ok, no problems with that, I'm way more interested in how Ubi works out the controls. Really looking forward to playing a game like this on the Wii, hope it turns out great. Oh, and to my taste, going by the gameplay vids, SMG is one the most beautiful games around on any console (overall look), easily more impressive than what I've seen of Rayman so far.

Edit:

And after reading some article on IGN, I really hope they can include fireballs in SMG, the Wiimote looks like a good fit for that, point and click :-)

Right on, I read that about the fireballs too. That'd be cool

Fireballs would be fantastic...thats been missing from the 3D games.
He has to have the white/red suit too though.

My thoughts exactly when I saw messages about frame rates, pixels, textures, shaders, GPUs and the like ......... will someone wake me up when the Wii and the games are released and we start talking about the only essential item: the gameplay.

Free Wii devkits? What do you reckon the odds are we don't get sent one?

It would be pretty cheeky if they did send you one.

Didn't they give a DS Lite and a copy of Brain Training to president Bush?

Alarm · Post by **Alarm** » Sat Jul 29, 2006 6:31 pm 0

Yes. Yes they did.

I should probably point out that when I said it looked "arse" I wasn't really talking about the graphics. Looks like generic-not-very-good-FPS to me, and isn't going to make me buy a Wii, is all.

S'Bollocks, surely? It'd certainly piss of the people who've paid for them, and the people who've been waiting to buy one for a while now. They really don't have enough of these things available to be just giving them away to random developer who hasn't even considered supporting it yet...

That wasn't Nintendo being "nice" - it was a Humanitarian effort

It does look bland and generic. The controls will make or break this one, I reckon.
