Forums - Nintendo - Will the Conduit deliver?Or will it fail to live up to the hype?

Critically this game will be all over the place. IGN, Nintendo Power and some other generally pro-Nintendo sites will score it 8.5-9.5
Other sites like Edge Magazine and Gamespot will rip it to shreds as a good but overall mediocore FPS that just can't compare to the best out today giving it 5.5-7.5.
Over all average 7.5

Sales - FPS DO sell on Wii. CoD3, Red Steel, CoDWaW have all sold 1m+ so I see no reason why 1m isn't all but assured for a ground-up FPS for Wii.

However, this has a T rating, which will mean it'll be the first and only FPS a lot of kids (who only own Wiis) will be playing for a while as CoDWaW is rated M (and WWII yuck) and RS2 isn't out until months later (and QoS isn't worth getting). If this catches on with the young Wii ones (sorry) that's an easy additional 1-1.5m

Overall 2.5m (based on loooong legs, expect mediocore 1st week sales)



 

Around the Network

Even after all the Conduit threads, I'm still not sure what fans are expecting from it. Expectations seem to change as new info comes out, and as features are changed, reduced, or cut out. If the end product is average, people will pretend it's awesome just to make it seem like all the hype wasn't unwarranted. At this point it won't live up to the hype, but how many games do? Like i said in another thread, mid 7's to low 8's meta.

All I know for sure is around the launch of the conduit I'm stocking up on popcorn.



Demon's Souls Official Thread  | Currently playing: Left 4 Dead 2, LittleBigPlanet 2, Magicka

It should reach million-seller status. I may be low-balling, but I'm guessing 7.7-8.1 meta.

I'm looking forward to the release reactions more than I am the actual game lol

The meltdowns will be EPIC



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

What's going on? No Halo killer comments? This site is losing it's hardcore edge.

I'll be grabbing this on launch day.

The Conduit will deliver in terms of popularity in my opinion if I find at least one of my friends with a 360/PS3 Wii combo (which a lot of people in my school have...) talking about/acknowledging the game.



Yes it is T rated now I´ll definitely getting it alongside s&p2 and punch out! :)



I wonder what happened to Sin & Punishment. It was announced with a trailer and then nothing else happened afterward that I know of. If it's a Q3 or Q4 release, they shouldn't have showed it so early since Nintendo has not been mentioning games before a whole year it releases, lately... (Which might make people think its canceled)

It's perfectly fine to not like a game and tell people that you don't think it's going to be great, but no need for that.
