That looks awesome! I was afraid the wii controller would have to be used like a remotecontrol always but shows what you know about a console youve only heard the name of.
Finally it seems they've gotten rid of that jackass ass Bam Marghera woot!

Wow i wasnt a skateboarding game fan but that looks fuckin awsome!

And yea Bam fucked the last one up, atleast i respected the other games, him in the other was like a big sellout.

That will be fun

o_bubbles · 08-05-2006, 11:35 PM

Has there been any hints of release dates and how much is going to cost? Hopefully it will be in the same area as the last nintendo console. If so, this is deffinitely going to be the console that will get all my attention.

o_zaskar · 08-05-2006, 11:39 PM

I wanna see a new mtn biking game. Last one was the GT bikes sponsored Courier Crisis, which sucked, and was awesome at the same time.

You could kick and punch people for absolutely no reason and at the end of each round you had a score, and 1 was "pedecide" which counted each pedestrian you ran over, kicked, punched or somehow killed. It didn't do or mean anything either, just for your own record :P the game didn't care.

It's going for like 200 bucks I think. A nice contrast to the 360 and PS3.

What bothers me about this Red Steel game is that, if I'm watching it right, it looks like the crosshair is controlled by the stick? 'Cuz he'd move the controller and it didn't seem to be aiming where he moved it, and he always seemed to never quite look enough in the right direction, which makes me think he was using the stick for it.

o_lucid · 08-06-2006, 03:08 AM

I still think the name is awesome. Don't know how much of a selling point it will be.

Not actually, but I will enjoy saying that when it comes out.

I think the view frame is controlled by the stick, but the crosshair is controlled by the one you can move around. when it went all the way to the edge i think it also forcces the frame of view to move.

Kinda reminds me of controlling a vehicle in halflife2 the keyboard is used for movement and direction and the cross hair is controlled by the mouse (as apposed to having it also control movement direction)

Circuitous · 08-06-2006, 03:34 AM

I figured it would be that. Logically it would be. But if that's the case he's a shit aimer with a sticky wrist.

Speaking of Bam Margera and Jackass, I saw the Jackass 2 trailer when I went to see Ricky Bobby. It looks good. Ricky Bobby was also good. I ate popcorn and a butterfinger candy bar. My girlfriend had popcorn and twizzlers. We both had water. I feel creepy.

o_ghost · 08-06-2006, 02:07 PM

I thought the system in red steel is that you move around with the nunchuck and aiming is done by pointing at the screen. That means if you want to look left or look right you need to point left or right. That's the impression I got while watching the guy actually play the game at E3 or whatever as opposed to some made up video where it's obvious that the guy shown is not actually playing the game.

o_zaskar · 08-06-2006, 03:01 PM

Oh so the thing in his left hand also reacts in the same was sorta as the one in his right? thats cool

o_nezumi · 08-10-2006, 12:16 AM

I would pay 250-300 dollars just for the next Smash Bros. game glady. The Zelda game and Mario Galaxy or whatever look awesome too, along with some others.

o_frenchtoast · 08-10-2006, 12:19 AM

Latest report says they're estimating $199 USD for the Wii, and that would include the console/controller/and 1 game.

You're right, but the both parts of the numchucks are movable. The Wii will be able to pick up on the movement of both.

o_dancingfool · 08-10-2006, 11:10 PM

Btw anyone know if the Wii controller is wireless? It'd be stupid if it weren't.

o_frenchtoast · 08-10-2006, 11:11 PM

...yeah it definitely is.

o_nezumi · 08-10-2006, 11:57 PM

I'd bitch endlessly about wireless controllers being stupid and not responsive enough for games that take lightning quick reflexes, but I'll be able to plug in my gamecube controllers if I want to

o_voipme · 08-10-2006, 11:58 PM

The Wii controllers use Bluetooth, so you don't have to worry about unresponsiveness. They're lightning quick.
