The Conduit 2 To Support Wii MotionPlus

This just in – Conduit 2 will feature support for Nintendo's Wii MotionPlus! Not required for play, but a welcome bonus for those looking for a bit more precision in their online and offline play on Conduit 2, here’s the full press release:

LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (10th June, 2010) – SEGA® Europe Ltd. and SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced that Conduit 2™, the latest collaboration with High Voltage Software, will support Wii MotionPlus™ enabling precision control and better tracking. The Conduit series is famed for its detailed control system allowing players to customise and configure their controls, including look sensitivity, turning speed, the dead zone and much more. Conduit 2 will use Wii MotionPlus to create the most responsive control system ever, as well as improved edge tracking and transitions to pointer control.

“Wii MotionPlus is something that the fans have been asking for since it was announced – we looked at it for the original game, took a look at its implementation in other titles, and ultimately felt that we could add to the experience in Conduit 2 by supporting it.” explains Eric Nofsinger, Chief Creative Officer of High Voltage Software.“It’s by no means required – gamers will have a great experience without it – but it does offer a level of extra control and adds value to those with the accessory.”

Conduit 2 will be playable at SEGA’s booth (#2023) at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo and will be released exclusively for the Wii™ system from Nintendo in Fall 2010.

Interesting. Will have to read reviews to determine if its added value is worth the extra $$.

Excellent... Excellent... Wait! They have fans?

Crap. Now I feel stupid

Well they are really good at hyping stuff so I bet they had more fans pre-Conduit than after it was released :S

Um, over what? If you felt it wouldn't happen, you likely had good reason to assume, at least I hope they were good reasons.

Good news! From a no buy, this game now has a chance to be part of my collection!

Here. You can have this. I'm done with it:

Actually I enjoyed The Conduit, albeit not the game crashing bugs in multi-player...  

Local multi-player was enough to put this on my to get list, and if the online is fixed and the single player experienced surpasses the first, then all the better.   I'll be one happy camper.

As for WM .   I don't really see it adding anything, but I'll be sure to try it with and without just to see what it does do.

It's nice they support it for whatever it's worth.   

Now give me a chainsaw.

I'm curious to know what will motion plus add to a first person shooter? Are they allowing gamers to use the butt of their guns or rifles as a way of knocking ememies off of you or back. If that's they case then I see the need for motion plus.
