In a recent interview Ubisoft’s Jason Vandenberghe, Red Steel 2’s creative director, delivered a status report to Official Nintendo Magazine that contained “56 utterings of the word ‘cool’. Dear, god. I suppose any creative dialogue or flowery language in Ubisoft’s follow up to the astonishingly disappointing Wii shooter cannot be credited to Mr. Vandengerghe. It is interesting to see the sequel that’s art style and overall quality looks remarkably improved over its predecessor has a creative director with the vocabulary of a third grader all hopped up on pop rocks and coke, ranting and raving about how cool his new toy is.



Read on to see some of the hilarity that ensued:

Visuals:
“We’ve got a lot of polish on the visuals and cool lighting...It really looks unbelievably cool.”

“What you saw before was the polished core- and though it looked really cool, now we’ve got an awesome base to build on.”

Combat, Gameplay and OMFG Swords:
“The lift move is really cool, it’s come on a long way. We’ve really gone to town on letting you toss bad guys around...I can’t wait for people to get their hands on it, it’s so cool.”

“Combat is so cool now...”

“It’s really cool, really tight now. I think it’s really clicking for me.”

“It’s all about the cool sword-you really need Motion plus for that kind of cool gameplay.”

Release Date:
Summer in the games industry is a really intense place to be. We’ve got a cool, cool buzz an great momentum. That’s exciting because we felt like we were on to something cool. So it’s easier to work hard and make sure it’s cool, we feel like we have something really cool and we don’t want to undercut that.”

Single Player Only Game:
“The cool thing about being single player only is we can concentrate on making it as cool as possible.”

Motion Controls:
“The game is so cool with Motion Plus that it just makes sense for us to go for it and bundle with the hardware.”

“I hope it gives gamers something really cool to do with their Wii. It’s a really cool game for core gamers.”

I shit you not Dtoid. This man is the creative leader behind Red Steel 2. I usually don’t make a habit of buying games magazines, but I figured I would be bored to tears at work...and that Wii Sports Resort Frisbee prize looked too good to pass up. But this interview made it worth the magazine’s asking price. Oh the mirth...
