@crystalchild I try to lighten the mood. ill take that as a compliment

@boustros  thats not really fair, alot of people (WII only owners especially) are hyped for Conduit 2. Me personally im taking a wait and see approach, just like the original. The only reason I compare the two is because they are both FPSs releasing on the SAME day. 

That in itself is strange because Conduit 2 was supposed to be released on Feb 15, same day as Mvs.C3. Now they push it back to a day when another large game is coming. If I were them I would push this baby back to the summer where releases are smaller so they have no competition. On a side note I could have sworn Crysis 2 was releasing a week earlier, did EA push it back to the 22nd just to screw with Conduit2?? If so thats f***ed up EA, Sega gotta eat too!!

I understand where you are coming from with the comparaison but let's be honest here, the only reason some people are hyping The Conduit 2 is because it's an exculsive game. That is not very rational in my book.

The game might still end up okay but like Crytek previously said, "You can’t take a 60 rated team and make a 90 rated game. [...] You don’t make a 90 plus rated game with a 30 rated bush in the game."

I agree with the first post and the first part of this post. The Crysis 2 vs Conduit 2 comparison is really a bit redundant. Crytek consistently have made critically acclaimed FPS' and have experienced mass growth (aquiring studios and having multiple teams) since the original Far Cry whilst HVS have only made a single FPS which was average at best (although some good ideas and good implementation of Wii controls).

However, I disagree with the second part of your post. As the team gain more experience with the FPS genre and by learning from past experiences and mistakes (as long as they stay profitable) they can eventually go on to become a 90 team throwing out top titles.
