This game kinda reminds me of Halo 2.

I thought it had more of a perfect dark feel to it, the weapons and movement just remind me of that game for some reason.

Plus i still don't really get the whole "wii" thing.  Do you guys really find it fun when you need to point at the screen or throw the nunchuck around to do certain things.  I can see some hyper little kids having fun with it, but i just don't see it.

 

 

 Yep.  Actually aiming and tossing adds a lot to the immersion not to mention it's a far, far more precise control scheme than dual analog.  I grew up with Doom and Wolfenstein using a mouse.  Dual Analog seems like such a regression as far as controls go.

 

 You speak of immersion, and maybe I'm alone on this but I just can't get immersed in a ps2 game the way I used to. Technology has updated and HD consoles bring a realness factor that the wii just can't with graphics. You speak of control regression. Well, the wii is graphics regression. Doesn't mean it's not fun, just thought I'd throw that out their as a counter to your excuse that exists and is perfectly true. Now then, if the wii had HD graphics and the third party games to support it, it would by far be the greatest gaming machine this gen and I think no one could argue that.

 

so you saying the wii graphics took a step back? Funny, it's just about the same, and a little better in some instances. That doesn't classify as regression. "It stood still" is a more valid arguement.

Dual analog however, is definitely a regression as compared to the mouse, however it's the best that can be done with those sought of controls.

Reminds me of Goldeneye 64. Awsome!

Also, noticed on very specific thing: This footage must be old, they confirmed The Cnduit will use the Wii Motion Plus, but in the scene where he's playing, he doesn't have the Wii Motion Plus hooked on the Wii-Mote.

Game's looking great!

Im still not sure what to make of this one. I like the Wiimote shooter contorls (eg Metroid Prime 3 and RE Umbrella Chronicles). It gives excellent control for quick aiming and execution. But the graphics and gimmicky alien invasion plot are definite minuses. But who knows, the fun factor may compensate.

Im fine with them saying "control innovation" but stunning visuals? come on...

Looks like a cool game tho but I've seen xbox/gc/PS2 games more stunning. I guess the physics are nice...but really this doesn't look anywhere as good as ninja gaiden, god of war or resident evil 4...

I think he is saying regression compared to PS360, not to PS2.

Pesonally, game play/controls > graphics, but I can understand why some would feel graphics > controls.

 

The 12-30 age group probably prefers graphics, and everyone else controls.  Younger people like their imagination, and once you get older your eyes start to go so graphics doesn't make as much of a difference.   lol

Maybe a little, but not as overdone as the WW II plot...  I mean, if I had to pick between the two, at least the alien invasion allows for a little more options, such as the seeing eye twist.

What's wrong with the graphics? I thought they were well done...

(?)  Was talking about the plot, not the graphics.
