Just saw the comparison with Halo1. I dont think i'll even rent the conduit. After games like COD4, resistance2, farcry2 (which i play now) and soon Killzone2, the conduit will look and feel really old..

But i own both PS3 and Wii, for wii-only owners i guess is passable

 

Or for people who prefer good controls, and not to drive their avatars around like tanks with old school dual analogue.

 

PC and Wii>dual analogue.

lol i didnt remember halo looking that bad!!!! I used to think the conduit looks pretty average but thats because I'm used to HD gaming and I've lost my SD gaming eye :( but I have to say it is a very crisp looking game and thats what im after! Games like metroid prime 3 are just a little muddy on a big TV and that kind of wrecks the experience. I cant wait to test how well this game upscales!

Yes i agree, but even the controls good or bad is only an opinion. To tell you the truth i only played COD3 on the Wii and found the controls at first interesting but later i found them unreliable. I really wanted my dual analogue at some point in the game.  I was a FPS on PC fanatic, counter strike fanatic, and it took me a while to like the dual analogue controls. Now i like them better than mouse and keyboard. As i said its only opinions.

why the comparision of Halo and not Halo 2 ?

I don't know. Nothing wrong about it, but putting Halo 2 against The Conduit is more interesting.

I dunno what you're looking at. But from what I've seen of the Conduit, it looks pretty good. And judging from the comparison pictures in this thread, it looks better than Halo.

Wow, and word goes around that "sony fanboys"are the only ones that can't take criticism. You need to chillax man. Why come into a thread just to tell someone to shut up?

I don't think the Conduit's graphics look bad at all

its the art direction. RE4 looks pretty F'n good. Didnt have shaders and such but it looks great.

 

for example here is Conduit

See More The Conduit Screenshot at IGN.com

Tech for some things looks good. Characters, FP hands and such. But compare its lighting, atmospheric perspective, level of textural detail and image depth to the following games and you can see why some dont think it looks as good.

RE4

See More Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition Screenshot at IGN.com

Call of Duty World at War Wii

See More Call of Duty: World at War Various at IGN.com

I believe the Conduit could look better with better Art Direction. Some of the tech is better than most Wii games but the art isnt very impressive. Before anyone attacks me, I am buying the game cause it looks like a good time.

There is your problem.

CoD 3 has horrid controls.

MP3 and Medal of Honour Heroes 2 are the current favourites for controls.... Even Red Steel is better than CoD 3 (except the sword control apparently)
