I should also add:
PS360 owners weren't calling this game generic until Wii owners were trying to pump the game up saying that it looked on par, if not better than XBOX 360/PS3 games. Up until that point, everything was cool, but when they wanted to compare the game graphically to 360 games, we had to shut it down. Yes the game looks good, but nowhere close to a Gears, or a Killzone 2, Resistance, etc. And when they wanted to compare graphics, we had to compare it as a whole. As wii owners are always saying Gameplay > Graphics, it's weird to have a conversation about graphics with them. So in terms of gameplay, the game is substandard. Sci-Fi shooter, done to death. Sixteen-player online, so what? Good Graphics, like the other thousand shooters out there.
On paper this game is nothing different than even the worst of PS360 shooters [Haze]. I mean lets be honest.
Haze has 16 player online, and pure graphical power, Haze is in the same realm as The Conduit. Except Haze had the good thing of being multi-player co-op campaign online and offline, something The Conduit lacks.
Now I'm not comparing Haze and The Conduit, but saying if the bane of FPSs can have that, where do people think that this game stands in PS360 owners eyes'?
The problem is that every time a game gets announced for the Wii and screenshots get released, people try to take down the PS360 graphically for some odd reason, while always proclaiming "Gameplay > Graphics". The same thing happened with SMG. There definitely was some talk that the game could hold a candle to some PS360 games, which may or may not be true (I've learned not to get into touchy subjects, lol), but the fact that people try to compare Wii and HD games graphically, yet want to fall back onto "gameplay", is why PS360 owners are upset over all of the praise of The Conduit. If no one tried to compare the game graphically to PS360 games, we'd be cool, but for some reason, Wii owners aren't happy with having the number one console, and all that good stuff. They want to take away the graphics from the HD consoles.
It's a shame we can't just have a conversation on the game, and about what we expect from it for something like this to happen, as there is nothing wrong with the game, for the Wii, but compared to HD FPSs, the game is quite dated. But it should have never even been compared to the HD consoles though, then we could just focus on how good the game will be.
Hope this clears the general feelings up.
