The Conduit is going to suck for a 2009 FPS. 10 years ago this game would probably get raving reviews. The Conduit while the first game of their Q3 engine is a weaker Q3 game and pretty much a generic shooter. Anyone who assumes otherwise is going to be in for a dissapoinment. Anyone who will judge an entire company based on one game isn't much of a gamer. Out of the companies current big game line up I personally only find The Grinder of any interest.
The Conduit is competing against KZ2, Gear of War, Halo, CoD..... The Grinder has to only compete against L4d2. L4D2 isn't even on the Wii. The market only has one other person in it. The Grinder will do well.
PS. I find that big name companies like Capcom have little interest in pushing system specs unless they put there AAA team on it. It's also easy to blame someone else for lack of budget, effort, creativity, smarts.
HVS has a right to claim fame for it's effort with the Wii and to call out other companies. It doesn't matter that they make Dora. That doesn't determine talent that just shows company needs money. Needing money != Talent.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
