now i dont know about you guys, but everyone i know felt realyl cheated and disapointed about the first game. personally i really didnt hate the game so much, mostly, because aiming with the wiimote to shoot stuff(NOT being locked to a rail) is just so much fun. however, it seems like they are doing a lot of things right this time around. lots of actual swordfighting, much better graphics, im pretty sure ill pick this up when it gets bundled with wii motion plus.

That, and it's basically The Dark Tower + katanas.
i pretty much agree with this.
I tried really hard to like the first one. got it used. could not for the life of me get interested in it because the swordfighting was unbelievably terrible compared to how it was advertised.
i'm definitely going to adopt a wait and see attitude on this one.

And if you want MotionPlus packed in but don't want this or Resort, you should get Tiger Woods. That is a feature rich game that has been previewed very well.
At first I wasn't keen on the cell-shaded art style, but I've grown to love that style of artwork in games, especially because of Prince of Persia. And the gameplay looks really good, as the thing that annoyed me about the first one is that you couldn't use the sword freely, and even in the limited times you can use it it's only "hit in this certain way, then block in that certain way". Plus the aiming for the gun is awful, since you had to go right to the edge of the screen to turn. Retarded.
Also, the guy you play as look very cool, like a cross between Clint Eastwood, Bill from Kill Bill, and Vincent Valentine. How can that not be awesome?
because ive had it with their minigames made for old peopel to play... got enough of those, its fun for about a week and then you never pick it up again, period.
basically what happened was, i saw them using the bow mechanic at the sony conference shooting at armored ghouls and i knew sport resorts is not for me ;P

conversely, i've seen several that have been fairly positive. i guess i could post em (if i can find em again).
here we go:
cort from gonintendo
nintendolife
wiids.co.uk
ign
4cr
artgrafi.com
yeah, most of these sites are just nintendo fan sites so you have to take them with a grain of salt. but I've yet to find one that was outright negative
I am quite excited.
EDIT: Heh, "Wii Motion Ploos"
Anyway, Red Steel 2, Red Steel 2...

Because it was first generation tech and was not all that accurate.

No, not at all. It was demoed again in the trailer during Nintendo's conference. From the show floor people have talked about a mode where you chop your way through dozens of Miis, called the Gauntlet.
It has sword fighting, archery, skydiving, frisbee, table tennis, airplane flying, bowling, golf, wakeboarding, bicycling and jet skiing. And not just quick one-offs like in Wii Play, it sounds like many of them have multiple modes, courses, and challenges.

thats a bit complicated to explain, the sensors in the wiimote only allow to register certain kinds of movements. certain rotations and movements are omitted by the sensors and because of that it becomes impossible to accurately use the motion for precise control.

Ok, that makes more sense. Because at least from these videos, motion+ doesn't seem any more or less "accurate" than the standard remote. But I understand what you mean about certain movements not registering.

Well put 69Taicho69, well put indeed.
I can only hope that one day we get a game with all three of those characters and determine who is supreme. Red Steel 3 perhaps?
PS2
FF X replay
PS3
God of War 1&2 HD
Rachet and Clank Future
MGS 4
Prince of Persia
360
Bayonetta
Fable 3
DS
FF: 4 heroes of light
You could assume a position before (as evidenced by Wii Boxing between rounds, for example) but you'll never be completely accurate without motion plus (as evidenced by Wii Boxing between rounds).
You are able to rotate it while pointing at the TV because the camera in the remote sees the lights on the sensor bar rotating.
MotionPlus adds the accelerometer it needs to approximate the remote's position even when not pointed at the screen.
Also the aerial launch attack is totally bitching. I honestly can't see why folks aren't into this because I see nothing but wonderful things in the walkthrough narrated by that glorious frenchman.

Well let's be honest, it's no Splinter Cell Conviction. But I don't expect it to be. What I see looks pretty fun, I just hope the final game has more substance, more enemy types, more weapons, more varied landscape, vehicles, etc.
It kind of sounds like he was out to hate the game... and it's also interesting that no one else had that problem with sword fighting.
At least, no one else that I've read anything from so far.
Look at this picture.
The yaw axis in the painful yellow is motion that the regular wiimote can't detect. M+ allows for the wiimote to track this motion. It may not seem like a big deal, but added to what the wiimote can already do, it adds a lot.
Also, I found out you can still turn your character in this game even when the cursor goes off the screen. I think that is pretty cool.
heres a new vid from TGS, I know the whole world wants me to hate the game, but I still remain hopefull that this is going to turn out fun. With all those lame railshooters coming out the Wii really needs a game like this.

Because it actually sold extremely well. And they want to make a sequel to a game that sold extremely well on the idea that the sequel will also sell extremely well. The people making money from all the selling-well-ness don't really give a shit if the game was "terrible" or got "bad reviews" since it made them so much money. See, Ubisoft, being a business, likes making money.
it was okay-ish.
