I just want to see how Conduit 2 turns out on the Wii first. I never played the original Conduit, but I got the sense that it was a letdown for many. I stuck to Metroid (which I still need to finish!).

I do wonder if High Voltage will be able to push the 3DS' graphical capabilities at all. Maybe not, since the 3DS is new.

Their Quantum 3 engine is actually quite good in the graphics department.  Does a lot of things the HD consoles do that practically no other Wii developer has been seen to do (Nintendo aside).

I'm pretty certain that they will push the 3DS graphically as much as any other developer will.

Oh, I read all about the Quantum 3 engine b/c I was so curious about how HV could get The Conduit's graphics on the Wii. But it was a letdown in terms of gameplay, right? Good for the Wii, but didn't compare well with FPS games on the 360 is what I read a lot of in reviews.

I just wondered if HV would be able to create their own proprietary engine for the 3DS as they did with the Quantum 3 for the Wii.

Cool, that if, of course, the Conduit 2 doesn't lead HVS into bankrupcy

Gameplay was OK.  Far from being bad though.   Conduit 2 fixes a lot of the problems from the first game.  At least from what I saw at E3 last year.

As for the 3DS, I suspect they'll rewrite the Quantum 3 engine over to it.  They've already given it a few revisions on Wii alone just since the first Conduit game.  The Quantum 3 engine is designed to take advantage of fixed function pipeline GPU's so the 3DS should fit well with it.

Is not as bad as some like to say. The controls were GREAT, the online multiplayer had a lot of good things but it was overrun by hackers, the graphics were technically good but the art style and design was bland, the biggest mistake was the level design for the campaign and the way they told the story, its a decent game and I had a good time playing it. It doesn't compete with the good FPS in the market but it showed that the genre was viable in the console.

I am buying Conduit 2 because I trust the guys, and everybody has said till this moment that they improved a lot of things, it still may not be a GREAT game but it will be better than the first one and I know I will enjoy it.

OT: They are already using the basic things of the Q3 engine on the 3DS, but need to polish it a lot...

Ah...So they are porting some Quantum 3 assets over to the 3DS, hmm? Very nice. Conduit 2 looks great as far as I'm concerned, and I am horrible at FPS games (Metroid is about the only FPS that I was decent at). It will probably be my first FPS for the Wii.

Oh, and I heard a lot of complaints about the storyline. :) Not too surprised there.
