| Kyros said: Haters/angry fanboys/desperate kids like Kyros will obviously put this project down, as they fear that Wii may steal some 3rd party games from his beloved console. But no worries, Wii is already getting a lot of great exclusives. Cry me a river Kyros. LOL did I hurt your feelings testres? By pointing out that this is a third-party developer with at best average games with a new IP of a generic FPS with the ONLY advantage of some comparably nice graphics. I just don't understand it. Nintendo fanboys like you would KILL a generic FPS from a noname developer on PS360. Another FPS. Graphics are not important. I can hear the comments. But on Wii it is suddenly the second coming? It may not be nice to point this out but the inconsistency is pretty weird. |
As I have said in the past (and was recently backed up in interviews):
"Publishers gain access to licenced properties and turn a profit by producing these games at the lowest possible cost and selling them based entirely on the popularity of the IP. These publishers tend to farm these IPs out to the same developers because they know they can consistently produce the games they promise to under budget and on schedule; if High Voltage went overbudget, delayed their games, or didn't deliver their promised features they probably wouldn't receive further IPs."
"Developers like High Voltage are not (typically) given the opportunity to break the cycle of being a shovelware developer ... But High Voltage seems to be well managed because they have built up enough money (over time) to be able to pay for development of The Conduit without a publisher; being that they're taking a very high personal risk you would assume they have faith that they will be able to produce a high enough quality title to both recover their investment and build a decent reputation for themself."
