Tyrannical said: I don't we what the wild hype around the conduit is. It looks pretty good for a Wii game, but it's not even at the graphical level of some original Xbox games like Doom 3 or Chronicles of Riddick. |
Aww crap. You got me. I guess I'll sell my Wii and get an XBox.
Too bad Doom 3 was the most disappointing FPS game I've ever played. I highly doubt the Conduit can be half that disappointing. I never played Riddick, but the cool part about that is I never will.
The reason there is wild hype around this game is because High Voltage is really putting effort into making a Wii FPS. It's one of today's most popular genres, and the Wii is today's most popular system by far. Most companies still refuse to make FPS games on the Wii though, and justify this by insulting the userbase as too lame to like shooters. The Conduit will prove them wrong by making a ton of money. They are filling an FPS vacuum, and for that alone they will be rewarded. Others will follow. How is that not a good thing?
I'm not even into non-Portal-based shooters anymore but I want to get this game just to support High Voltage for how awesome they are for making this game on their own and risking everything to prove a point and fill a genre vacuum. The trailer looks great. I still want to know more about the eye thing.
