Red Steel 2 going online?

There are some indications that the sequel to Red Steel may very well have an online functionality because the Red Steel site has an ad posted that's calling for applicants for an online programmer position. The responsibility is listed as "to develop the online part of a game engine for a Wii project ... "

The development of this project will take place in Paris, France, where other Ubisoft titles such as GRAW and the original Red Steel were made.

The chances are pretty fat that the hypothesis of online functionality is spot on. If we go back to November of last year, it was also an ad for a vacant position that blew the cover off a Red Steel sequel.

Better get ready to optimize that internet connection for your Wii, kids. You don't want the lag to spoil your katana-swingin' and machine gun-firin' moves when you use them on live targets.

I really wouldn't care if there was an online mode or not. They really need to focus 100% on making the controls easier to use. I couldn't even play the first RS for longer then 30 minutes without wanting to break the disc because the controls were so horrid. The graphical lag didn't help this either.

Well, the controls should be the main focus for RS2, I agree. However, RS wasn't as bad as I thought. I had high hopes for it, ignoring all the bad reviews when I played it, then found out the hard way.

I stopped playing but a strange thing happened. About every two weeks or so I had an urge to play, and would play it for a little longer each time. By about the fifth time I played, I had forgiven the controls and actually kind of forgot about the flaws. Overlooking them because the overall game was worth it.

I never got to finish the game because my friend took his Wii back and I haven't been able to get my own yet, but it's a game I want to buy myself and I definitely want to play the sequel.
