Red Steel Freestyle Swordfighting

Has Red Steel Moved to free hand?

According to German gaming site Nintendo-LAN.de, Ubisoft Paris' Red Steel is moving toward a more freestyle sword fighting scheme. Nintendo-LAN, answering a question from Mordrag, said that "the control of Red Steel is revised completely, so that the movements of the controller are transmitted precise into the game."

Is this Ubisoft giving into pressure from the community? Sony, for its part, seemed to face a similar issue with its PS3 boomerang controller -- a design that people lambasted without ever getting their hands on it. Again, while not confirmed, community pressure appears to be a big reason for Sony's revert to the classic DualShock shape.
