Red Steel exclusively Nintendo Revolution

For the gun(s), you can tilt it back suddenly to reload, and tilt either sword or gun forwards towards a wall or overturned table to take cover. It's extremely intuitive, and after a little bit of gameplay, you can play at the level of keyboard and mouse's instantaniousness.
Online and local play are both free, no confirmation on number of players, but there are a "variety of guns" along with your sword. You can also choose to merely disarm opponents instead of killing them, which can prove to be an advantage since they're such brainless brutes that they're willing to help you out. If you can take down a head figure, but keep him alive, you can force him to make all his men surrender, and to get the most powerful weapon he has.
The storyline isn't set from the sounds of it, as in, you don't know what's coming, and it could change midgame. Your fiance is kidnapped by a big kahuna( her dad was in the mafia or something), the kahuna tries to steal your fiance's father's sword, but when unsuccessful, he kidnaps your fiance, and offers to trade. Since it would throw him into a position of great power( this is the only choice the game makes for you) you decide to use the weapon to take him out and get your fiance back instead of trading it. Crazy good. And Nintendo is deeply rooted in the project, they want it to be a launch title, but they don't want their "image" to show that kind of game, plus they don't have FPS experience, so it's Ubisoft's to keep, with Nintendo doing half the work.
To top it all off, the graphics look incredible. Remember guys, this is Ubisoft: Prince of Persia, Ghost Recon, Far Cry Instincts, and Splinter Cell, they know what they're doing when it comes to action games. This game will be awesome, just awesome. I refuse by all means to post any scans, because it's worth the money to go out and buy Game Informer, or to wait until April 20th when it's all posted on their website. I will however, show you what they've shown everyone, and even it looks good...

Hopefully this will be a good game because Nintendo's long overdue for a solid first-person shooter.

The capabilities for the free-hand controller are just phenomenal, and Red Steel is the perfect display. Utilizing it as guns and knives, with far greater control than before...
Nintendo has done well to usher in this exclusive from Ubisoft. This is the potential of the Revolution realized. I can't wait for other projects for the system!
On a side note, the Nintendo RS? Perhaps... but it somehow seems unlikely.

Nintendo spoke of a new "Nintendo-exclusive" game (like Zelda and Mario exclusive) that was going to be more mature than the others. Is this it?

Anyway, looks good. I too am really glad to see some real screens of the Rev and a "mature" game for a Nintendo console. :P
But... Why would the Rev be called Nintendo RS? What does the RS stand for?

Oh... I don't see why a console would be named after one game. And if it WAS named after a game that game would be Mario or Zelda. Not some third-party game.

I hope this means that some other games get shown off soon. E3 isn't too far away...

EDIT: Huh... I Googled "Nintendo RS" and I found this, some might find it interesting:

It looks a bit too much like the PSP's menu; I think it's fake. Cool, though.

"I refuse by all means to post any scans, because it's worth the money to go out and buy Game Informer, or to wait until April 20th when it's all posted on their website."
If you guys would just read... :P
Also, "Red Steel practically confirms( through its title) that the Nintendo Revolution will be named the Nintendo RS( much like Dawn of Sorrows or Dual Strike)"
Since none of you seem to understand what I said, Nintendo DS has led to many titles having names that use the letters D and S for their acronyms, like Advance Wars: Dual Strike(AW:DS) or Castlevania:Dawn of Sorrows(C:DS) or Resident Evil: Deadly Silence(RE:DS). As you can see, it clearly shows what console it's for. I think that Ubisoft already knows that it's going to be called the Nintendo RS, and so they're naming their game after that, just like everyone else did for the DS, with an acronym that has the system's name in it. Does that make sense?

I don't think it would be named RS, what would the RS stand for? The Nintendo DS already had the name going for it with Dual Screens.

Anyways, what else would RS stand for other than Revolution System? DS originally stood for Developer's System, but the people kept confusing it with Dual Screens, until Nintendo officially revealed the name. And then I'm not sure which was chosen as the finalized name, but it was one of those two.

The question is then raised, however, that why would Ubisoft know about this before E3, which is typically when Nintendo reveals these things?

Just an idea, but all those mentioned titles have DS as a.. Sub-title.. They all come AFTER the :, the 'DS' is never in the main title, The said game of this topic has Red Steel as it's title.. That's it, no :'s or anything.
Well. That's my idea.. ;D

It's important that Nintendo is assisting other companies in producing games for the Revolution, which will inevitably result in very well designed projects, rather than just ports from other systems. Also interesting is that Nintendo would choose a third-party game to demonstrate the first concrete example of the Revolution's potential. Nintendo understands how significant third-party support is, and this is a very promising sign.

My guess is that Nintendo wanted to have at least one FPS in their opening linup since they're so popular nowadays. And since Nintendo hasn't had very much success in that section, they decided to turn to a well known 3rd Party company. It's just an assumption, but I think that that's why Nintendo did that.
I found a link to a video off of a previous link http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=27...intendo&pl=true Pay close attention to the end. Pause if possible. It shows examples of how the port at the bottom of the Rev controller can be used for so much more than a nun-chuck. There are different guns, and Steering wheels, and who knows what that could be plugged into this thing!! I like the guns myself :P

Yeah, Nintendo said that they'll be making a lot of other adds for the controler.
Anyway, it may just be possible that Nintendo gave ALL the information on the Rev to big third party companys, so that they could use it's full potential and get the games out as soon as they can.

As for the third parties, I will be glad to see other companies jumping onto the Nintendo ship. I'm sick and tired of having to settle for EA titles, while PS2 and XBox owners are playing much better third party games. I'm not saying that the GC was a bad system, just saying that Nintendo may make good games, but they can't hold up a system on their own.
sibsaq's point is well taken as well. Perhaps this game will be called Red Steel RS if the system was called RS. Or perhaps the DS was a special case because continuing franchises were adding the subtitle DS.
ex. Mario Kart DS
Red Steel, being a completely new game, may not use this subtitle.

I must admit, after E3, not Twilight Princess, not Mario Galaxy, not MP3 is my most anticipated title, but Red Steel is. The presentation and gameplay look marvellous and the controls are going to be amazing. I just can't wait now for this game to be released.

The big question is, will third parties be able to make great games as well? (Red Steel, Rayman, etc.)

Anyway, I think that I will buy this game just so I can try out the sweet looking sword fighting. Adam Sessler tried it out, and it looked fluid and really fun. I hope it's as good as it looks.
