Forums - Gaming Discussion - Conduit will be a AAA title on the Wii

It won't sell better than MP3, and sure as well won't be rated higher.

You can draw your own conclusions as to both, based upon a fair comparison between the two games, despite the differences in development times.

Frankly, I don't see what is so special about the game that it would make it worth my time over all the other FPS/shooters I've bought or will be buying in the back half of 2008 (Gears 2, Resistance 2, L4D, Crysis Warhead, CoD5).

So it's being hyped by its developers as having the most sophisticated effects yet seen on the Wii. That really means next to nothing to anyone playing on any other platform. So unless there is something else going on in terms of game play to make it stand out, it's not worth my time to play, much less my $50.

It pretty much remains the great white hope for the Nintendo hardcore faithful. But as it's already been made quite clear what sells best on the Wii, the multi-million best seller predictions are most likely sadly misplaced.

numonex i'm on to you :)



I really hope people one day realize how stupid calling a game AAA is. Especially when using an arbitrary definition as over 90% on metacritics. It's just silly.



How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

I have seen screenshots and game play of the Conduit.

Conduit will sell lots on the Wii say over 3 million copies and be a AAA title with average review scores over 90%.

To those who doubt Conduit. Shame on you.

 

sorry, but it won't be AAA game - too many biased against wii and anything nintendo related review sites and too little hype around Conduit.

 

shame on you HVS for not showing fake screens and fake gameplay videos 3-4 years before actually releasing the game unlike some "great AAA developer".



A million should be possibe, 3 million I don't see happening. But if it sells a million I'm sure Sega is very happy.

I don't know if it will be AAA, but it will be good.



I think if it can hit 1 million in sales that would be a great success especially considering a wide pop of the wii may not even have that game on the radar.

from my point of view its a game with amazing graphics for the system and the best control scheme. Thats why it couldnt be on HD because half of its appeal would be lost
