Development
RedSteel was a pretty exciting project. The first FPS of the Wii and its new "revolutionary" controller. We all thought that this controller was very near the keyboard/mouse combo and that we could make console FPS looks like PC FPS.
That was pretty false and the wiimote is finally a third kind of controller with the pad and the keyboard/mouse. That was perhaps the biggest mistake done by the design team on Red Steel.
With that, this project combined lots of difficulties : A new hardware, a new controller, a new dev team and a very short timing. Finally what has been done isn't really a good game, but in my opinion it's a pretty cool result compare to the circumstances.
