| Gamerace said: I hate to say it, but if they are banking on Conduit 2 they are probably in a lot of trouble. There's not a big FPS fanbase on Wii (as they know). Their first game didn't instill a lot of confidence - especially the game crashing bugs in multiplayer, and was pretty generic. And they will be competing directly with CoD:BO AND Goldeneye both of which will get a lot more hype. Conduit 2's claim to fame was the split-screen & split-screen online, which is almost unique to them on Wii but now Goldeneye has stolen that away. Most Wii FPS fans will probably only buy 1 of the 3 FPS this fall. The only way for the already greatly disadvantaged Conduit 2 to overcome CoD and Goldeneye's marketing $$ and brand is to be a superior game. A notably superior game with addictive gameplay. While that isn't impossible for HVS to achieve, it may be with the budget Sega gives them, or their skills. And an underwhelming Conduit 2 will likely do as well as NMH2. Disasterously bad. |
Well from the looks of it. It's shaping up to be the superior wii fps this year. I has a lot going for it that can far exceed the other shooters. Besides, Conduit 2 will be made from the ground up for the wii. I'm pretty sure black ops will be focused more on another platform, so goldeneye might be the biggest competition, still conduit 2 has more online modes....so far. Conduit 2 also has a few "firsts" of wii fps online gameplay. Like a headset and patching to correct bugs. I wouldn't say that they're dead yet, they still have some time. Although with all that i've said, i do think it's being released at a bad time.
