What the ****, was this translated with Babelfish or something? Give me the original Swedish article and I'll translate it properly, the grammar is just so poor, and there are even words left untranslated!

On-topic: I sure hope this isn't a sign of things to come... :x

page 19 in the PDF... a very small section though... and I'm not sure if 2 out of 5 is a review score or just anticipate meter...



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

They gave RE 5 a 3 out of 5 so I am not sure what their score means, and it's for an early beta.

Alright, here comes a proper translation... In my next post.

"Generic and grey"

Did they play Gears? Killzone?

Very much this. I'd wager TC is actually one of the most colorful FPS games in recent history. :p

Also, from what I gather from the sentences that actually made some sense, it sounds like they're slamming the controls? Like lol what? That's like slamming Crysis for its graphics. :p

"Graphical Situp

Hercules becomes a terrorist in High Voltage's new action game...

Or, no, wait, not Hercules - But, Kevin Sorbo, who used to play Hercules in the super cult-classic tv-series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Sorbo will be playing the role of the terrorist Prometheus in The Conduit, you can take this information any way you want. Sorbo will, thankfully, get accompanied by other "famous" actors like Mark Sheppard, who was in the wonderful series Firefly once upon a time, so it doesn't have to spell disaster.

Anyway, we have a game to talk about, too. A quick look shows you that The Conduit, visually, reminds of Metroid Prime having a bad day. In motion, it doesn't look much better, even though High Voltage like to boast about their advanced Quantum 3-engine that they've developed specifically to enhance the graphical standards on Nintendo's little white super-seller.

But as we all know, graphics aren't everything, and there are several games for the Nintendo Wii that deliver unbeatable entertainment without needing to rely on the latest technology. Meaning that a lot hangs on how well-developed the controls for The Conduit are, something that's been, to say the least, lacking in most first-person shooters for the console. The Conduit will support online play, and gives you deathmatches, an initiative a lot of actionhungry Wii-owners will be happy about - Several of us here at the magazine included.

Until High Voltage has convinced me with a (hopefully) polished review version I'm choosing to, for now, stay highly skeptical. Better controls and a good story can hopefully save The Conduit from becoming another grey, generic and boring actiongame amongst the others."

So, no, they haven't played the game, and that translation is flawed on so many points it's not even funny.

That's not the score just their hype level so to speak.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Ah, thanks Majin-Tenshinhan, now that makes sense. :p
So they haven't played the game, hmm. Well, we'll see. Still don't get where they got the grey from though.

No problem. I do what I can to right the wrongs of the world... :P

Exactly.



                            

Majin-Tenshinhan thanks for posting the correct translation.
