Game Informer has the scoop on the first publicly revealed Revolution game. It’s an FPS from Ubisoft Paris called Red Steel and it looks much better than most fans may expect. Impressively good-looking. Apparently, GI is going to blow the lid off of this game with an 11-page spread in their May issue, which should be getting to subscribers this week.

Darn, who sent you a tip before me Infendo? /cry~Carmine M. RedKairon@aol.com
Additionally, these were confirmed as real screenshots, not concept art, by the Ubisoft VIP at Nintendo's Insider. And it was confirmed to NOT be a rail shooter.But I don't have Insider, so I'm taking all this on faith, lol.~Carmine M. RedKairon@aol.com
WOW!
Yup.. Freak'n awesome. I hope most of the Revolution's launch games are Mature. It'll help the brand.
Yeah… I am simply stunned. I expected it to look good, but I mean damn… that's as good as any Next Gen game on the 360 thus far. Not to mention… it seems that the revmote really will revolutionize the FPS… gosh… so stoke… must get hands on… must steal way into E3!
It's not AS good. Graphics ..uh… aficionados will find things to complain about, like the blurry texture on the vending machine n one of those images.But the point is: it's good enough.~Carmine M. Red
MY HEAD A SPLODE
Those scans are not super clear. I bet, and mark my words, that Red Steel will no doubt look amazing when we get official screens.-codiuscube-Gamefaqs, NGG
i read from other sites that people think the screens are doctored up. what do others think about this? can we expect these graphics on the revolution at launch?~P~
Why do people doubt the system can produce these kind of graphics? Look at RE:4 and that's on a system and half the power according to IGN's article.Of course these screens are real, and of course this game is going to be a revolution in its own right of the FPS genre. You'll actually the FP in the acronym FPS, instead of a mouse/dual-analog wielding shooter. I for one, cannot wait.
Since this console seems to be an updated gamecube, the level of development reached on the gamecube (resident evil, Killer 7, Metroid Prime 2) is just continued on the rev using the new available power, also since the resolution peaks at 480i you can optimize it to look amazing unlike the xbox360 & ps3 which main focus is high res graphics for HDTVs, that's without using the max res which is known the ps3 won't be able to render fast enough (18fps).I was expecting half those graphics and I'm still expecting them. I was happy for the new controller already. If they can get nice graphics also I WILL BUY EVERY GAME UBISOFT MAKES. PERIOD.
Just to clarify, it's 480p, Vakero. And it's not the peak, but the minimum for all software.
man i want to hold the gun sideways like the dude in the picture. Also, are they considered scans when you take a digital pic. Ok everyone I am going to scan you, say "SCAN"Man im tired. man im ready for rev.
This looks really good, better than Xbox 360 and PS3.My name is Osaka Tanaka.
"When you see the Revolutions graphics you will say wow" –Satoru IwataWOW!Re what Rollin said. I think Nintendo DID confirm 480p (progressive scan). Whether that's at 16:9 widescreen (852×480) or 4:3 standard (640×480), I don't know.
this is great…i wasnt expecting ANYTHING before E3…especially something from as big of a developer as ubisoft!
I do like some of the other scans on the page. One scan says that it will be a lunch title! Let the Revolution begin, continue, and drop all others aside! I can't wait. Hurry up E3!
First off, looks great. Better than what I was expecting. It looks like everyone bashing Revo's power just got Pwnd.Second, who even said that there are muddy texturs? How can you honestly say? You HAVE to wait for hi-res images. And even the way the pics are I still don't see what your talking about.Third, if Rev games will look this good, then what does 360 have? Thats all that system had going was HD visuals…Now Revo looks the same? 360 is also Pwnd. And I LOVE how that guy is holding the gun sideways like that. FPS can't stand up to things like that on PS3 or 360.
Really impressive. I wasn't expecting images before E3, just like everybody else. And it looks really cool, lots of particles and nice effects. I just wish it were a official screen, not a scan, but it already seems damn cool.Can't wait to see what Nintendo is doing, they will steal E3 just to them.Best!
Who wasn't impressed by that? It was amazing.Finally lsslave.blogspot.com got his blog updated.
WOW?
The FPS genre is what kept the Xbox in the running last gen., in my opinion.I think these pics make it rather obvious that Nintendo will now be the king of the FPS.How does moving a reticule around the screen with a thumbstick compare to actually, physically aiming a gun? How does pressing the left shoulder button to lean around a corner compare with really extending your arm, even holding it all gangsta like the guy in the pic? How does pressing "a" to reload compare with cocking your gun back with your wrist?All that and the Rev can do it with visuals superior to RE4? Better resolution alone will not be enough to keep 360 and PS3 alive this gen.
I'm absolutely willing to trade "blurry textures" on a vending machine for the control the Revolution will offer.Only 30 days till E3!!!
All I know is that I just want a piece of this "lunch title" that Doughboy74 is referring to. Could it be Cooking Mama Revolution?And yes, I'm kidding.And WOAH. Those graphics just look unbelievable. I can't wait for NintE3ndo to blow the faces off of Sony and Microsoft's pitiful keynotes.And I mean that in the kindest way possible.Or maybe I'm kidding.
