Red Steel Info

Hey guys, slow news day today but here is some new info on Ubi-Soft upcoming Wii game Red Steel. Apparently a Ubisoft VIP on IGN Insider forums had the following to say about the game:

“It’s the same controls, I just believe they were a bit tighter as we were developing on the GC dev for, well, for a while. I can assure you that we have plenty of time to refine, tighten, and ensure that the controls are solid. In regards to the blood, there will be blood - just not in a grpahic way. I believe you can have blood spurt and then disappear and still receive a teen rating. Regardless of that point, the game is all about the controller and it’s movements - not so much about the graphics.”

It should be noted that this game is still considered to receive a “Teen” rating; however, with the inclusion of blood the ESRB may move it to a “Mature” rating. Also while surfing the internet, I went to Ubi-softs official UK site and it states that the game is suggested for 16+. As always stay tuned and we will keep you updated!
