Ubisoft posted a job announcement looking for an online programmer for Wii projects. The listing states that the job is in their "Production Studio in Paris, where Red Steel and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter games have been developed."It seems kind of likely that this involves Red Steel 2, which was itself basically announced via job listing, but let's not get out our Jump to Conclusions Mats. Yes, slicing your friends up online would be pretty great. But Ubisoft works on a lot of games other than Red Steel, and there are a lot of things you can do online that aren't playing games, as Nintendo has ably demonstrated with every Wii channel.

i was one of the few that actually enjoyed Red Steel, I thought the controls were good, and was overall a decent game, Roll on Red Steel 2 is all I can say

Red Steel 2 will be fine with a few refinements.

I rented Red Steel, and was actually pleasantly surprised. While the swordplay still needed a lot of work, I found the controls for the gunplay to be excellent and easy to pick up.
That said, the game was very obviously rushed. I think Ubisoft would be better up just using a new IP for a sequel, since Red Steel got such lackluster reception.

Red Steel was a fair attempt at a FPS on an ENTIRELY NEW console, using an ENTIRELY NEW control system, which i have to say, was amazing. sure, it got quite irritating when you were trying to have a sword fight and the screen locked up, but that just what happens when you have NEW TECHNOLOGY, it takes time for everybody involved to get used to it and perfect it. There is nothing better than getting together with a bunch of mates and playing red steel, it invokes the same feeling that i had when i was younger playing the best FPS ever, Goldeneye. Its just fun, and that's what console gaming is about. Fun. I really enjoyed it, and i cant wait for the 2nd one, it will only get better.
