Forums - Gaming - Why would anyone but Wii owners care about The Conduit?

My problem with The Conduit is this game hasn't even come out and Wii owners are hyping this to be one of the greatest games ever. I never give my thoughts on a game before its release because who knows what it will actually play like.

Also is anyone aware the company that developed the game typically makes crap games? Their best rated games came out like 8 years ago. To make matters worse Sega is publishing the game and everyone knows 99% of the games they touch nowadays are terrible. I'm just saying if its developed by shit, its published by shit, it might be shit.

Here's some of their games if anyone is interested in seeing their previous work.

Well, first off, the topic title is misleading. I went in here expecting to be able to write "Of course only Wii owners will care, they're the only ones who can play it", but then you apparently meant that if you own any other console you wouldn't care about The Conduit...

Let me ask, why is this? I own a 360. I'm getting The Conduit first day. Can you give me a reason why people who own PS3/360/PC as well as a Wii should not care about The Conduit? Particularly PC/Wii-gamers seem very interested since this is a FPS on a console that actually doesn't have crap controls.

First off, nobody is saying that this will be one of the greatest games ever. However, I did see a lot of talk about Killzone 2 being that before it was released. Either way, most people seem to agree that this simply looks to be a good game.

Second, yes, EVERYONE is aware that HVS's previous games have been crap. This is nothing new. Are YOU aware that previous games were licensed shovelware where the publishers decided pretty much everything and HVS had no say, while with this game HVS put off getting a publisher for the longest time and built the game themselves just so they could make it according to their own vision?

Third, 99% of the games Sega touch nowadays are terrible? Are you serious? SEGA are one of the few developers around that aren't crap nowadays. The stuff that sucks is mostly Sonic games, and even that has started to die down imho.



The original question doesn't make much sense to me. It would be like asking why anyone outside of a PS3 owner would care about LBP. I just don't see the point of the question.

The only thing about the Conduit that interests me, as a Wii owner, is the controls. If I was interested in the graphics being jaw droppingly awesome, I'd play Crysis or something like that.

However, I completely agree that the Conduit is being hyped up way too much if that was the point that you were trying to make.

real gamers should care about any good game on any system. not saying that The Conduit is a good game but that it's looking like it could be. that reason alone should be enough to at least warrant gamer attention. the final product is what people should base their purchase on.

I was exagerating on how excited people are about the game, but obviously there is a lot of hype going around. Killzone 2 btw was hyped aswell, but it still looked a lot more promising than The Conduit. Eitherway people need to calm down and atleast wait for some reviews to roll in before getting so excited.

Do you think publisher threw money at HVS so they could develop shit games? Do you honestly believe they wanted games that would get horrible reviews and not sell?

I'm sorry... 98% of Sega games suck. Or atleast they are not worth playing.

It's quite hard to explain the feeling of playing a FPS on the Wii for the first time, especially to an HD gamer who won't give the Wii a chance. Try it out.

I had a Wii and I've played FPS games on it. So if anyone wants my advice sell your Wii now and get an Xbox 360. Its a much better experience in both gameplay and control.

 



You're talking some serious bullshit now. Sounds like you're in denial.... Hey, I'll agree with you that most xbox360 shooters out there have better gameplay and gfx atm, but control?

I'm also pretty positive that the gameplay in the conduit will be amazing.

Well lets say a FPS game allowed for both 360 and Wii owners to play the same game online. Like some sort of online death match such as CoD World at War. Who do you think has the odds of performing better, people playing on a 360 control or people using a Wiimote?



People using a wiimote.
