Nintendo Wii: Ubisoft Doesn’t See The Point Of Realistic Games On Wii

Red Steel 2′s Creative Director, Jason Vandenberghe has told online gaming publication CVG that “he doesn’t see the point in trying to do too much realism on the Wii”

“Why compete with the 360? The Conduit is a great example. Talk about an incredible piece of technology. Those guys did an amazing job of modernizing the Wii engine.”

“It’s got to be frustrating for Conduit dev, High Voltage. Gamers will see the flaws, not your work. They’re not going to see all the effort you put in. Any developers working on the Wii, I recommend you stylise the look because it helps. I think it looks cool anyway.”

Nintendo Wii: Red Steel 2 Pushed Teen Rating To The Limits

According to the Entertainment Software Rating Board Ubisoft’s eagerly awaited Red Steel 2 has pushed the Teen rating  to the limits.

“During the course of the game, a female character with exaggerated-size breasts wears a low-cut shirt that exposes deep cleavage; the character’s breasts jiggle slightly during cutscenes (there are no comparable physics applied to male characters). The expletives “bada*s,” “punk-a*s,” and “dammit” can be heard in the dialogue.”

“Overall, the game’s highly stylized cell-shaded graphics blunt the sense of realism, increasing the fantastical nature of battle sequences; in some ways, the graphic-novel art style (skinned with hand-drawn-like textures) lessens the impact of the violence—though the game is still considered a high-end Teen.”

Jason Vandenburghe, the creative director on Red Steel 2, has announced the highly anticipated first person title will only be playable for gamers who have purchased the Wii MotionPlus peripheral.

“It’s a huge risk. We have no idea what the penetration rate for Wii MotionPlus will be. “We assume high. We would like it to be high. I would love to say to you that it’ll be compatible with just a regular controller, but the gameplay simply isn’t there without MotionPlus. That core experience just isn’t there without it.”
