Red Steel was one of the most hyped up games of the Wii's launch and it seems only fitting, whether you like the game or not, that a sequel to it is on the way. Hopefully Ubisoft will take their time with the project and will be able to work out some of the negative aspects that seemed to plague Red Steel.
The guys over at NintenDomaine, a french Nintendo fan site, recently discovered that Ubisoft is looking for someone to fill a Senior Game Designer position for "the continuation of the Red Steel Project".
I'm glad I know French, and you should be too. Here's the translation from Ubisoft's website.
Ubisoft's Paris Production Studio is looking for a Game Designer for the continuation of the Red Steel project. You will assist in the game design:in managment of the ergonomic design
in menu design
in the creation of the game's manual
setting the game's difficulty levels
in prototypes with the director and the lead-level Designer.
We ask for:Experience with RPG and adventure games.
Experience in "le jeu en ligne" (had no idea how to get that into English. Could be RTS or online)
Someone energetic, able to defend and question decisions made, listens to others and is sociable.
Being well cultured and having an artistic developed direction would be even better.
The job will be filled by December of 2006 in Paris France.
Ubisoft is also looking for an artist to work on Red Steel and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter to help with 2D decor and ambiance work on the Wii.
The most intresting thing mentioned however is that they want someone with RPG experience. This doesn't mean that Ubisoft will go in a completely new direction and make the series an RPG but it makes you wonder.

"le jeu en linge" is Real time strategy (RTS) if im not mistaken.
where'd you pick that up?
i hope its not gunna be a real time strategy or RPG. i like red steel as an FPS. but i do hope they come out with a new one later. cuz i think its cool.
where'd you pick that up?
from my head.. i know french to you know... >_>
French is the number one language in Canada.
But I thought le jeu en ligne meant "Play Online" ?
oh ya hey i uno how that one got by me
w/e
Lol. It's okay, that's still 1337.
i only speak english but to have another red steel would be good, and where the reviews are said bad things about the game, they can fix it all up in the second game
A sequel is needed.
Red Steel was a first effort, but a second time around they'd have a better handle on the functions of the Wii.
to some cultures FPS is RPG as your in a role of your character.

A little credit would be nice.
The second may be the same..
The second may be the same..
The listened to criticism for the first game and tried to improve on it, but in the end i think they were rushed because it was a hyped launch title. So maybe this time around they'll listen again and we could actually get real improvements.

No its not, english is.
Anyways, merci. (I'm learing fench right now in school, but I hardly know word of it XD)
Hope its better than the first, maybe better graphics?
Well consider this:
Red Steel is a launch title for the Wii, and Ubisoft were only beginning to get a grips on the controls FOR launch which probably crept up very fast. For a sequel they could learn from their mistakes and take time to get a better grip on how the control functions and of course add freakin' online multiplayer.
