I doubt The Conduit will be that expensive.  Development started in October 2007 and it is approx. a 30 man team.  That's a fairly small team and less than two years of development time.

I've heard the same about Madworld.  It was definitely developed on a small budget.

I don't know much about development but 2 years sounds like a long time. There must have been delay on the project. If it was an epic RPG I would understand that amount of time but an FPS on the Wii shouldn't take that long.

 

Two years isn't a long time at all. Games built off of complete engines take two years, like Call of Duty:WaW and Gears of War 2. High Voltage probably had some work done on their engine before they started using it to make The Conduit, but they're set to complete their project in 20 months, improving their engine as they go.

Compare that to all the sports games which have a one year dev cycle that offer only gameplay tweaks and small feature upgrades along with updated content, because that's really all they have the time and manpower to do in just one year.
