Ubisoft issue Red Steel Update

French publishers Ubisoft have posted an update on their blog via IGN, regarding Red Steel’s graphical improvements.

The game was heavily criticised two months ago when it was shown at E3 for the first time, although the developers have insisted that the title would receive notable visual upgrades.

“In May, the graphics of the E3 demo were a work in progress. Remember, we are working on a console that is also currently in development. The console’s calendar therefore conditions our own calendar. We received the Wii kit one month prior E3. It was just too short to implement the style we had in mind in the E3 version at that time”, explained a Red Steel developer.

“Now, we’re working on developing our unique style specific to Red Steel – one that will not only be a great support to the scenario and the gameplay, but also be the visual identity and signature for this new game. We also keep working a lot on the impact of the graphics and on the way the player plays as well”, he continued.

More information, including the first two screenshots of Red Steel’s improved visuals, can be seen on Ubisofts blog here.

Red Steel is scheduled to ship exclusively for Nintendo Wii on launch day.
