Dear Lord. I hope HVS can ship a decent new IP on the Wii before they start making another one... and hyping it as the Next Big Thing (tm) on the Wii. Heck they just secured a publisher for a game they've been dumping money into for eons.
I hate to tell you guys this, but HVS has never shipped a critically acclaimed game outside of the GC port of Dark Alliance, or Hunter: The Reckoning, both of which were flops, in terms of sales. They have done a load of licensed software... but they haven't exactly made a big splash with it.
You can ooh and aaah over The Conduit all you want, but until it ships... HVS is not exactly the new hotness. I am very surprised they have been trying to make some new IPs lately, given their track record... and also very disappointed it took them eons to find a publisher for The Conduit... why do you suppose? I wish them luck with their crazy hype-machine fiddling, but... its just hype until they ship something worth respecting.
If The Conduit flops... is every Wii owner going to set fire to their beloved console?
