- Ubisoft on releasing a multiplayer mode through DLC: "That would be cool. The world has changed, and we can do that sort of thing. I certainly think that would be cool. I'd buy it. But we need to be careful bringing out something that people think should be in the main game."

sounds awesome to me - much more promising than the first.

I like the fact that they're focusing more on swordplay rather then shooting, because with M+ that could be awesome.

If it's not a FPS, then the lack of MP is way more understandable.Dr_Corndog

I know it's a stretch, but this game sounds a little bit like a Castlevania formula. I say that because Castlevania is pretty much Metroid with leveling (think of the 2D iterations). Since you can revisit areas with your new abilities in RS2, there's probably an emphasis on exploration to a certain extent. Then there's several paths, boss fights.... I know this could describe a lot of games, but the action focus and addition of leveling brings it closer to Castlevania to me at this point. And I love Castlevania.

Anyone get a Mass Effect vibe from that?

How does "NO MULTIPLAYER" sound awsome?

I'm much more excited after reading the part about the emphasis on swordplay. With the Wii and MotionPlus, there is so much potential there, and if Ubisoft can get it right, then this could be a very interesting experience. The idea of (good) sword fighting for the Wii has been on my mind ever since I first learned about the Wii Controller. Definitely looking foward to this. Perhaps we will hear more about it at E3.

Ooh,c'mon Ubi,deliver me the goods :x

I'm convinced,day one.

This could be a work of genious or it could end up being a disaster. I have no problem with you using the sword more just as long as its still holds as a shooter in same way, shape, or form.

It could be the wii's Mass Effect, or Fallout 3. I'm optimistic for it.

hmm good point, I just hope it's good because their isn't a single wii shooter with rpg elements out.

The bullet proof armor thing sounds like a bad idea...

I dunno... Something about this game isn't making me very optimistic. I can't quite put my finger on it though. Perhaps it's the game's pedigree.Jimmi323

Could it be this logo?

i hope it better than red steel 1
