Forums - Nintendo - First Footage of The Conduit

It is original. John Adams is your guide through the game! It's actually in the video!



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

I'm more excited that a 3rd party is very excited about making an original mature game on the Wii and putting in a lot of effort to make it good. This has the potential to be a great success. I can't wait to hear more about this game.

I'm not really a fan of shooters, but I might buy this anyway, just because of the effort that they're putting into this. Maybe some of my friends could enjoy it (I hope there is multiplayer).

They are putting a lot of effort into this game yet they purposely released shovelware in the past. As long as they don't rush it, The Conduit could be really good

The Conduit may sound like some generic shooter but what shooter other than Bioshock doesn't. I think the Wiimote would be a good fit for an FPS

 


I'm not saying the game is going to be another generic shooter. I'm just saying the graphics are meant to show off their engine's effects.

You're saying that the graphics are showing what the engine is capable of doing, right?

 

Yep, that is why we haven't seen great textures yet, because they want to show off what the engine is good at first, then add other stuff.

Well maybe they got fucking sick of making shovelware. Some studios started out that way.

 Could you name some examples of the companies who started like that?

Well I think I heard of a few, but nothing off the top of my head.

However, doesn't it make sense that the company would have enough programming experience to feel they could do better than all the sovelware they did?

True, they probably didn't have the skills to make a decent game at the time but now, their programming skills can help them make a decent game this time around with The Conduit.

BTW, even if they don't improve the textures much, it is at least already avoiding the Real Is Brown problem with so many FPS.
