to be honest, this is the only place i see the conduit being discussed. I have yet to see it mentioned anywhere else.

Duke Nukem was great (for it's time), don't dis the Duke.  I may be strange in my tastes, but I prefer a bunch of funny cheesy dialogue to swearing, so to me those are pluses.  Aliens may be over done, but at least it's not as overdone as WW 2...  It's a game, the whole point is to have fun playing it.

If it's really like the Duke, Wii furtherly raises its rank in my wish list

You just made me care about the game. Still won't get it though - me and the first-person perspective don't mix.

You know, that annoys me also.  People rag on Carnival Games, but people need to get real here.  Like Wii Bowling, Carnival Games happens to be innovative in the videogame front.  It attempts to do something we don't see normally, using a more intuitive interface.  And yet, it gets ragged on.  Even I have been tempted to pick it up sometime.

It gets a double shot by non-Wii owners who feel that gore=mature, and defensive Wii owners who hang out here, who feel embarrassed by Carinval Games not being "hardcore" enough.  It is entirely possibly that this defensiveness is leading to an excessive hyping of The Conduit, and being upset if the Wii is reduced to a casual player's game machine (not too many "hardcore" games).

Well, all this being said, I do hope that The Conduit proves to be a good game, and worth picking up.  I do own a Wii after all.  My initial question was a call partly to have people hyping it explain why I should get interested in it.

@Richardhutnik: I do too see the attitude towards Carnival Games a little stupid. I haven't played it, but it looks interesting and the consept of the game is pretty obvious to appeal people of all ages.

Another thing why people may want to hype Conduit is, that there aren't many titles in that genre that had been done ground-up for Wii in mind and actually put a lot of effort into it. Effort doesn't naturally equal good game, but atleast HVS have tried to create something good. The uncatered market raises its head.
At the same time the same people hope Conduit being a huge success in order for it to generate more software support in the genre.

Wow, 99% of all wii fans are getting overexcited about this game. I hope the result happens.

One reason::::

Controls (IF DONE RIGHT), will be the main draw for other console owners.


I am sure the Conduitwill be good but definetely no Unreal Tournament. I really think that if Conduit controls suceed and the game takes over, we will see bigger and better FPS (in terms of video stories during the game etc...)

Who knows Conduit might have decent in game videos for the story, it is just that they haven't shown any.

faster weapon switch and more binds for more complex things, it doesn't matter as much if the game only gives you a few weapons to work with at a time but if you play something that has more than 2-3 weapons while requiring you to do more tasks, it's way too slow, and hence console FPS are not as complex in general.

i think the hype over the Conduit is over the Wii controls for it, Wii owners are hopeful that The Conduit will take full advantage of the Wii controls and be one of the most fun shooters on the Wii
