I am really looking forward to playing this and seeing it on my T.V. next week. However, if it ends up a poor game it would be my last and only HVS game Until they can blow my mind.

these high voltage guys love themselves eh? its like no one made a wii game before . . .

to me they are setting there bar in space soemwhere, high above the atmosphere.

this game better be awesome or we shall see, im gonna judge it hard after there endless boasting

but yeh i get a 1200 bonus on tuesday, so i will play it at the store if i can, try to check the online.

if its good, instant purchase . . .

but it BETTER be good after all this talk.

No surprise here, it's always been like that.

Now, I hope that them saying The Conduit is a really good shooter is true. Let's see next week! =P

No they didn't, and I'm not sure why Montana said they are hypocritical because they made some bad games in the past unless it was a joke, and if it was it kinda failed (sorry monti :P)

My comment was more trying to say hey these guys never really made anything special and they're now trying to do big things, proving big names wrong, and calling them out for the lies, which is the main reason I like those guys they're very real and just say what everyone else is thinking but don't have the nads to say it.

Max, you did scare me a little here! I was about to post something like "You created the Official The Conduit Thread and that's how you see them for what they're giving us? My gawd epic troll~"

Ahh damn, I thought you weren't pulling a double sarcasm. I am disappointed. Well, I'm just mad that High Voltage made a lot of bad games and then has the nerve to call out other developers. They should at least prove themselves first before being cocky.

Normally I agree, but lots of the claims over the years have been pretty obvious that they're false and well SOMEONE had to say it might as well be someone that has shown what the hardware can do.  And hey man everyone starts out somewhere, Blizzard started out making pretty poor games until they made a couple that took off, Guerilla Games had almost the EXACT same track record of making terrible games until they made Shellshock Nam, was then bought by Sony, and now makes Killzone.

While I'm not interested in The Conduit / Grinder, I hope they deliver good enough results to make other developers interested in licencing the Quantum3 engine from HVS.

Here's what HVS claims it can do: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Voltage_Software#Quantum3_engine

You never know, it might just be the Wii's own RenderWare!

^ they were (still are) a small studio and forced to make those licensed games, plus toddlers that play Dora the explorer could really give two turds if its a technical achievement in gaming. what these guys haven't done is make up a bunch of nonsense in order to make their choice of not supporting the Wii look smart in some way.

Mario Galaxy definitely had bump mapping. As matter of fact, Galaxy did everything Outside devs said the Wii can't lol
