 Wouldn't that just be Star Wars?

 No, Red Steel will have Cyber Space Ninjas. CSN >> Jedi's!

Futuristic Western?

I was hoping it was going to be set in the past, but this will work too. A cell shaded futuristic samurai western does sound very interesting.  

I wonder if this will set a trend. Sequels using the name and then just going wild with whatever the hell they want. Red Steel 3, as long as it has guns and sword they do whatever the hell they want?

Tropical Island Steel.

Dino Island Steel.

I doubt that is going to be the case here.  I think Ubisoft recognized that the original game was pretty broken and they needed to do something to really catch people's attention again and make it stand out.  Remember how wacked out everyone thought the screenshots of the scrapped version of Red Steel 2 were?  They wanted this game to be very different from the get go.  

If this game is successful it's going to be because it's actually good, not just because it's a launch title.  And if that is the case I think they'll stay pretty close to the formula and style that is established in this game.

 I dont know, those screens and art of the cancelled game are pretty wacked out. In the Nintendo Power interview they say they decided to go in a different direction when motionplus was announced, that was E3 last year and this game is set in a futuristic city? I have a feeling they adapted the futuristic bits from the previous build and just set it in the desert.

First pic. Well well, looks like the graphics may match the concept art from the first game. Not bad, very different though. 

 I like it.

God damn. After all this hunting I finally traced a link to the scans and the page went down. 

I hosted this:

Well, I think commercially they just killed it. It looks too stark, barren and concept art like to be popular.

It could be a cool game but it really has become an unknown quantity compared to doing a straight up sequel. I think they should have left a reboot for when the franchise gets stale not for the immediate sequel to a launch title.

It looks awesome, and will sell at least two million copies! If it doesn't,  then Wii owners suck.

but i really liked the gangsta style aiming

Really?

yep, i shot just about everyone in the first RS with my gun tilted to the side and pointing ever so slightly downwards.  that shit was phat

They've taken a popular commercial look and turned it into something arty and stark. This now falls into Madworld and No More Heroes territory. It has virtually ZERO link with the first game. It's a bizaare re-working. I'm not saying it wont be a cool game, but it really is a bizaare sequel.

What if Halo went cel-shaded and was set in the 14th century for instance.

if they market it nearly as aggressively as they did the first game i think they could make it grow on people by the time it's released and not just send it to die.  but i hear exactly what you're saying about making it needlessly difficult for themselves

 I'd probably like it a lot more.

                                      Badass!

 But you'd use bows and arrows. And you were turned off when Excitetruck went from trucks to robots.
