this is pre alpha. this is something you get interns to play with and get some work exp under their belts.

@Kyros, We aren't hyping the graphics of the game, rather than the engine, which is something that 3rd parties don't do on the wii. This doesn't just mean we get better graphics, it means we also get better 3rd party support. Most of the hype for the game wasn't even on the graphics, that was just a plus.

Who the hell is High Voltage!?

Yeah but apparently the engine doesn't earn all the hype either. The screenshots of the Conduit were not exactly surpassing Metroid I am not even speaking of Galaxy.

It was just a bit weird because there were suddenly 50 threads about the Conduit because they promised PS360 graphics and after all this hype we get screens like the one above? Shows again why you should first wait for some results and then start the hype. (And I am not even talking about Wii alone, I only say Lair)

because it is in a genre that the wii lacks severely in good games (fps) it is due to them saying they are going to be Marketing the engine for others to buy,

and it is the first "engine" with game that a 3rd party has really talked about to any extent,

now- there are 3? engines that are built specifically for the wii that i know about.

gamebyro, high voltages, and one other i cannot think of the company's name. i am sure there are more, but if the engine pans out the way the Devs Want, then the wii will have an engine that will allow more games to be brought to market faster.

the 360/ps3 have ~3 main engines that 3rd parties use for their games.

crytek
unreal
gamebyro

one is coming

They developed such classics as 50 Cent: Bulletproof, White Men Can't Jump, The Family Guy Game, Leisure Suit Larry and many more! How have you not heard of them!?!?!

HORRIBLE TEXTURES sorry caps as usual.. ok not so sorry but the caps were an accident that I decline to correct.

That's the usual from these guys, as for the shadows, that's the least of the problem, if they can't use the right enviornment for this game its going to suck, right now those Aliens look horribly out of place and I'd preffer they stop releasing screens until it's visually pleasing and expected to a professional extent.

But that's just me. That screen looked like some really bad Indy work up.

 And let's not forget their masterpiece Ben 10: Protector of Earth.

Crystek is barely used. Oh and I think somebody( that isn't epic) is porting unreal 3 to the wii.

 

Yea but it's just a torn apart version from what they explained, it's just portions of the engine.

But depending on what those parts are the difference visually can be amazing, if possible.
