The Conduit's textures look bad? Let's break this myth.

Clearly, The Conduit has amazing textures and graphics. What's that, you say? It's unfair to compare a 15 year old game with one that won't be coming out for months? I agree! Hey, it's only fair that we compare The Conduit to the fellow games on the system! So why not pick a shooter title that didn't even pride itself on its graphics in the first place? Or maybe you could pick a launch title (because we all know that launch titles have amazing graphics). Or we can ignore the fact that the majority of graphically impressive Wii games look poor in screenshots (remember the shots for Super Mario Galaxy?) and just focus more on the gameplay which is supposed to be the saving grace for what looks like an otherwise cliched game. The story looks very boring (not that shooters ever have good stories anyways). Not only that, but there are a bajillion shooters on the market with better graphics, and The Conduit doesn't even have a beautiful or interesting style to make up for it. A lot of Wii games manage to look good because they have beautiful or engaging environments to make up for the lack of graphical muscle. The Conduit has none of this.

I'm sure it will be a fun game and it will be a definite purchase for me, but let's just not argue about the graphics. Who cares how the textures look, really?

Oh, trust me, I've already stated in my comparison that screenshots are really not the best thing to go with, especially for Wii games. I'm confident that The Conduit can match the level of gameplay of MP3:C and all other Wii games that use the motion feature in a very intuitive way, so yeah, they can't fail at that.

What you did with that Doom shot is pointless since no one ever thought about comparing The Conduit with this game. I've only compared it with these two games (MP3:C and TP) because people in the past few months have been comparing them with The Conduit. You to try to convince me that the comparison you made with a 15 year old game just to praise The Conduit tells me that you agree that the graphics in MP3:C and TP are outdated. Please note it was not my intention to bring down the artistic view of these two ''launch'' (MP3:C isn't really a lauch game, but whatever) games.

By the way, why can't a ''realistical'' looking game on the Wii succeed in many ways? Why can't High Voltage software try to create something that mixes both artistic (alien weapons, alien environments) and realistic (buildings, , locations, weapons) style of graphics? I don't get why you try to make it sound so bad to break down the wall that the developers can't compete with other console shooters on the market. And who cares about how the textures look? You haven't taken a look at the various news posts here at VG Chartz recently it seems...! o_O
