Forums - Nintendo - The Conduit preview: Technically marvellous but it's not really much fun

routsounmanman on 11 April 2009

yellow orbs that restore health!!! Game spoilers! The person is clearly an idiot, ignore...

Note: I do not claim that the Conduit will be anywhere near perfect, merely that the previewer was clearly predetermined to express a negative opinion about the game, it shows!

This previewer seems to be having trouble getting his facts straight. People here are offering details that directly contradict his, so until it's clear that the reviewer knows what he's talking about (factually speaking) I'm taking this with a grain of salt.

No All Seeing Eye mechanics? No puzzles with that device?

this guy has not played the game.

Because everyone MUST like the Conduit!

 

Wrong.

Because when you make a previw of a game you take into account one of the main aspects of it. Conduit has the ASE as an integral part of the gameplay. The ASE has flaws but the journalist didn't mention it not even once.

Looks like he watches a few videos and then wrote his preview, not an actual hands on

To me it looks like the game would not get even half the hype it is getting now were it on the PS3/360/PC, looks nothing special. This is however coming from someone who has not played the game, perhaps those whom have played the game say it deserves the hype?

 

Yes, the rest of the sites said the game deserved it.

Uhm, who exactly? I've looked around and I found a lot of praise for the technical achievement. Not much about the gameplay at all.

Gamedaily has a different opinion

"The Conduit may deliver an action adventure experience that's so good, it might turn into an A-list game."

IMO, any shooter on the Wii will 'automatically' be more fun than on its HD cousins due to the controls. Given that they are fixing the technical Wii issues, focusing on the controls - I expect this to be a LOT of fun.

Let the fear mongering begin - the media couldn't possibly let the Wii become the FPS console of choice ;)

Hell I agree too.
Talking about the same game of course... ie if Metroid Prime 3 was dual-analogue with shinier graphics, I'd take the Wii version. Even if shinier "graphics" included other things like "more realistic physics" and more enemies on screen at once.

I stand by that this game is more a first tech demo and less an actual full attempt at a game. Keep in mind they are building the engine and the game. That's a big load for a small company. So I expect that this game will be under par. HVS even mentioned that they have improved there engine since TC started. These improvements won't be seen in this game though.

The real feature for this game will be the multiplayer rather than the single player. Being the first fully featured Wii Online FPS.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
