Okay New Page! Let's leave all the old stuff behind in the old page.
Does anyone know what kind of multi-player modes the game will have? Deathmatch? Team Deathmatch?

HVS said they will have most of the pretty standard ones. They won't be adding any new modes, but they will try to make the standard ones the best they possibly can.
| DKII said: It looks better in motion though the environmental textures still need some work, and it's a blast to play, so why the complaints? The irony here is that half the people bitching about this game were hyping up Lair and Haze as saviors for the PS3. |
I trust Mr. Hands-on here.
Besides the guys at High Voltage have been very friendly, so that alone is a reason for me to buy it.
Sure the graphics aren't PS360 quality, duh. Maybe the fact that so many people want RE5 for Wii says something about the attraction of motion controls? Maybe people that can't stand dual analog for FPS (like me) can finally enjoy shooting Aliens, lol.
I completely agree with Montana and others in this thread - the graphics are on par with PC games from 2001/2002. And that's what's hella annoying - fanboys acting like the graphics are flat out amazing, and then bashing on anyone that dares to say otherwise, because this is supposedly the savior of 3rd party support on the Wii.
Well guess what... the graphics blow. Maybe the gameplay will be awesome, it could be... they sound like some dedicated developers, as well as very nice people, as Benga pointed out.
I think High Voltage has some noble goals, and Wii owners obviously deserve better third party support than they've been getting, but the unadulterated hype behind the graphics of this game are just mind bogglingly annoying and unjustified.

There's a little benchmark program named 3DMark2001, and that showed the top of the line graphics in 2001/2002. The Conduit kicks the ass of 3DMark2001's graphics.
Ignore the screenshots in the OP, they suck, but the latest screenshots and video's show that this game indeed looks very good. The Conduit looks on par with Half-Life 2, which was released in 2004 and looked brilliant, and still looks good today.
Ok, I guess we need to get this point in again:
Wii gamers do like graphics. They enjoy eye candy as much as anyone. The just value controls more than eye candy. Actually having a game that promises controls like MP3 and some quite nice eye candy makes them happy. what is so bad about that?

I poste this interview in another thread that didn´t get as much attention as this one and I think it should have been posted here instead. Now you can watch and see for your selves what you think about the game when it is in motion and not through some old screens (even if i think those screens are ok)

Show me these games from 2001/2002 that are on par with the conduit. I would say the conduit looks like an average 2004 pc game.
Those are very earl screenshots. I was saying negative things myself when I saw them. The latest video show the game in motion looks much better than any shooter on the Wii. That includes MP3 (yes MP3 is a shooter for people that say its a first person adventure).

2002
2003
I thought Deus Ex was 2002, so at best I'll update my estimation to 2002/2003 game based on this game selection. I've tried to only include FPS style games so as to keep the comparisons cleaner. Wii has some improved lighting and shader effects, but not to the point that it dwarfs any of these games.
I maintain my point that even if you consider it on par with 2003/2004, it's a game that's being hyped on the pure basis of graphics that would have been cutting edge 4-5 years ago. That is not a good reason for hype.
Maybe the hype is just misdirected. It should be focused more on High Voltage as a company that is trying to do something not generally done on the Wii - provide quality 3rd party support. But the focus is entirely on the Conduits graphics. For those of us who are PC gamers, or have a PS3 or 360, it's very difficult to understand the hype on that facet :P
