Marie-Sol Beaudry, producer of Red Steel, is now updating live from the Ubisoft Paris studio. Over on the new Red Steel blog on IGN, she has this to say about der hackenslashen:

We're continuing to tweak the controls to optimize the game and ensure it's a great experience on all levels, for example keeping the precision and accuracy of the aiming but working on the sensitivity and the stability. Also the sword fighting is going to offer more diversity in movements and couple of special moves I will not talk about this time...

Beaudry speaks a bit more on the Wiimote's role in the game, and promises another update in two weeks. She even includes a charming photo of herself, gamely accosting the viewer with her Ninchucks of doom. Eliza Gauger
