Describe yourself in three words so our readers/followers/fans know who you are
[Josh Olson] Josh Olson, producer
[David Pellas] Husband, Father, Hardcore-gamer 

Please describe Conduit 2 in two words 
[DP] Crafted experience
[JO] Whole lotta.

And now describe the game in three words please 
[DP] The complete package
[JO] Whole lotta love.

Is there anything about the first Conduit you didn’t like at all? 
[DP] Simple level design, online hackers, and the cliffhanger ending.
[JO] Quite a few things – ASE wasn’t well implemented, level design was a bit pedestrian, and we didn’t mix up the core gameplay experience in any meaningful manner. That core experience was fun – but it did get repetitive.

And will this be fixed in Conduit 2? (Hey, don’t read this question before answering the one above – we hate cheaters!)
[DP] Yes, yes, and yes.
[JO] Yes. And we hate cheaters too.

Please tell us something about the multiplayer features of Conduit 2 – we’ve heard they rock. Is this true? 
[JO] It is true. They rock. We have bi-weekly company multiplayer sessions – moving forward with the foundation we laid with TC1 was great in that multiplayer worked from Day 1 of development – which has allowed us to iterate and test a lot of new things…as well as shooting our company management in the face. New weapons, maps, and game modes are no-brainers – but we’ve additionally spent a lot of extra attention on making the experience more rewarding and nuanced for players. A class system is in place where you can set distinct weapon load-outs to include suit upgrades (perks). Weapon sets are a thing of the past. We’ve added a sprint button. Teammates can be revived. In addition to the level rank and ELO matchmaking systems, we have an additional currency system that lets you purchase upgrades, be they weapon and suit upgrades, or different armor pieces to customize your character’s look. On the art front, we’ve more fully embraced the sci-fi, and have a lot more variety in our environments. TC1 multiplayer was a lot fun – but a bit basic. We’re changing that with Conduit 2. 

[DP] While we are very proud of the online multiplayer action in Conduit 1, we are working very hard to provide a complete multiplayer gaming experience in Conduit 2 by offering more unique gameplay modes, unlockables, perks, character customization, and we are not limiting ourselves to online only any longer. Gamers will be able to compete online and offline via splitscreen and we are very excited about that.

Would you say Conduit 2 will be the best Wii shooter ever? 

[JO] Hmmm…smells like a trap. (smiles) We’ll let the fans decide. We learned a lot of great lessons on TC1 and feel we’re avoiding a lot of our missteps in the first title.
[DP] We are polishing and refining the experience from Conduit 1. We have incorporated much of the feedback that we received from Conduit 1 and have listened to what people liked and disliked from our competitors. 

Would you say these questions are the best questions ever?

[DP] They certainly are the best questions I have seen in the last 2 hours.
[JO] A close second. You didn’t ask if we have a big-head mode or sasquatches in our game.

hmm even the creators of this game admitted that the conduit had problems lol

I must say i'm very excited for this game! Its fun to play a good multiplayer game on the wii every once in awhile instead of sticking to PS3

sounds good. hopefully i wont get bored before i complete this game

So instead of other developers, they aren't saying the Wii magically made their game weak. They are admitting that they need to do better themselves.

If they can't see the problems, they won't be able to fix.

You're doing good, HV.

The thing I really like about High Voltage Software is that they seem to be grounded in reality. The problem (as I see it) is the team lacks the talent, resources, and support to really produce the kind of product that would drive significant sales. If there was a significant improvement in two of the three areas I think that they could compensate for lacking the third, and produce a very solid product; and if there was a significant improvement in all three they could probably produce a game on par with many of the best games on the Wii. Unfortunately, I think they will continue to produce games that are somewhat compelling, but are critically flawed in may ways.

yes please stop online hackers!

They had 20 people working on the first title.  That's the problem.  Of course, I don't think the FPS genre is popular enough on the Wii to warrant a huge 200 person development team like some games have, so we are left with what we get.

So they don't blame the Wii, they blame themselves. There's hope in this industry yet.
