LOL, there will be SO much crow eating regarding The conduit its almost unbelievable.

That must be one of the most generic FPS I have ever seen. Nothing special, no story known, no cool setting, no innovative gameplay and a developer with a really bad pedigree. Its only redeeming factor are relatively good graphics compared to other Wii games. Yeah!

 Resistance says hi, and you're wrong btw.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

They should rename Conduit to Haze for the Wii.
To think I actually bought Haze..



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

I dunno. I don't see Wii shooters getting mass attention and recognition since the mass media well... hates shooters.

And the gaming Media seems to require shooters to have cutting edge graphics.

Wii shooters in general i believe will be like like PC shooters.

Completly underrated and ignored by everyobody... except those who play them and expierence the better controls themselves.

 

Err ?

PC Shooters are even bigger graphics whores than 360/PS3 shooters....

Crysis says hi !

I think games like this will make a pretty good impact.

You mean the LAUNCH game that was developed by a studio that was famous for its innovative weapons and gameplay? Two areas where they delivered pretty nicely?

What have the Conduit developers done before again? Ah correct: (Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude, Starfleet Academy and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.)

Yeah I am wrong.

The conduit is supposed to deliver on the control side.... and from all that has been shown it looks like it will. No PS3 or 360 game will even equal the control quality of a Wii shooter... and Wii shooters have the potential of being more imersive than a PC shooter... so say all you want about story and innovation, but the conduit will still be unique.

And seeing the Buzz and effort put into the game, I doubt Nintendo would prevent them from putting Lan in the game... heck you might even see a nintendo character as a cameo in the multiplayer if the game is quality (samus? =)

and I've never seen anyone care about the story in counterstrike....well...actually... they should put a place/defuse bomb in the conduit, that is a nice motivating senario and surely it is valid in a Human/alien war setting.

...and it will have Wii controls.

But really, a lot of the buzz over this game is because it one of the first 3rd party devs that are taking the Wii seriously, with a game in a genre that is somewhat lacking right now.  Plus (hopefully), the Conduit could be the catalyst needed to get all the other lazy developers attention.

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made.  I won't open my unworthy mouth.

Which didn't help FPS shooters on the Wii until now. Medal of Honor, lauded for its controls and multiplayer did 230k, Metroid Prime and Call of Duty3 were no megasellers either. Perhaps its different this time. I just do not see why Metroid is miles and lightyears ahead of the Conduit when it comes to level/enemy design and art direction. But we will see.

There are two obstacles to the Wii becoming the ultimate gamer machine:

Lacking a harddrive.
AAA franchise 3rd party support.


Don't worry about the online mumbo-jumbo. Given enough 3rd party support with AAA franchises, it'd eventually become a non-issue.
