There are portions of the theme in The Conduit that are fairly generic but at the same time the more contemporary setting with a protagonist that is not (some sort of) a super soldier in regenerating armour is a little more unusual. It would be nice to see a return to experimentation with other themes in the genre, but with how limited the competition is on the Wii I don’t see a problem with its generic elements.

I'm actually partially intrigued by the story, simply because of the All-Seeing Eye

I'm wondering if this game is going to be "National Treasure: The FPS"

That could definitely salvage it's generic-ness

Generetic?? please give me a PS360 FPS with the amount of costumised controles like The Counduit...

Graphics isn't everything you know, hell I rather take controles over graphics any day of the week.

I was just gonna say the SAME thing,and Zombies generic? There is only what 2-3 Zombie games out the last 3 generations and how many were good what? just L4D aww,L4D is anything but generic.

Who said anything about graphics ? We're talking about the story

Zombies are not original, and are actually the most played out undead villain in games, ever since Doom, or even Wolfenstein, with the zombie robot Nazis.

This page has lists of games that have modern horror zombies, revenants, voodoo zombies, fantasy zombies, and other zombies, and they actually outnumber games about ghosts, werewolves, and vampires.

I guess Castlevania cornered the vampire game market, but where the hell are all the werewolf games?  It's basically Zelda and Sonic right now, which is really fucking weird.  I've love an original werewolf game in which clouds would cover the full moon and you'd turn human again and had to hide until the moon came back out.  When the moon wasn't full you'd avoid action missions and do whatever spying/research/interrogation crap you needed to do, and then on the full moon you'd eat tons of baddies.

I'm not talking about story, I'm talking about gameplay.

That is the norm yes, but there are definite exceptions.  I truly enjoyed the atmosphere and story of Bioshock.  But I think it's less about how good the story is over how generic and average the content of the story appears to be.  I don't agree with that argument because Conduit's story seems just about as luckluster as most other shooters, but I think that's the argument being made.

Personally, I think Conduit is mainly looked at for the developers' attitude towards the Wii and less for how amazing the game actually looks.

True. Good FPS's often sacrifice good plot for engagement. Most FPS plots would absolutely flop if they were original movies. However they are extremely engaging. Take Half Life for example. Everybody acts like it has a great plot, but it wouldn't be great if told in a novel or on film. Rather, it is extremely engaging. Same goes for Halo, etc.

The stories are most of the time very well, but many developers fail at telling them.
