Forums - Nintendo - Conduit ending discussion (spoilers)

I hope the sequel's Main Campaign doesn't suck balls this time. And they need a serious art director, because the Engine can to wonders on the Wii.

Just that HVS, better Story mode with no A to B gunning separated by levels, but one world separated by loadings similar to Metroid Prime if you will.

And good level desing.

That's all, as a small developer, HVS surprised me with The Conduit.

I would hate to see HVS cut out the levels-- why is having levels so bad?  Levels open up new possibilities not possible with an open world design considering this game takes place at a real location.  What if HVS wants to add a tropical forrest level-- can't do that with an open world design, but you can with the level system.  

Plus, getting to the end of a level is a great stopping point for me-- I don't play games for hours on end any more, a level that takes about an hour to get through is the most I have time for to devote to playing video games at any given time.  I guess it also gives me more of a sense of accomplishment when I can say that I beat level three as opposed to saying I'm at Jefferson street.

The story really isn't that good, but it's still kinda fun to put together the pieces between the dialog and the hidden messages. So here are a few points:

- Adams is also known by the name 'Enlil,' and has been on Earth for at least 240 years. It's no coincidence that the US declared independance from England 233 years ago. Enlil is an ancient Sumerian wind god.

- Little is known about why Prometheus came to Earth in the first place, but he's apparently betrayed Enlil more than once now. These two have a lot of history.

- Adams and the mysterious being he's talking to discuss how 'others' are mobilizing, perhaps for or against them. This seems to refer to a host of other extradimensional alien species or organizations, which hidden messages seem to allude to. Now that Earth is open for extradimensional business, they may come to stake their claim, or to prevent enemies from seizing new resources.

The whole thing reminds me of Buckaroo Banzai. And I think that's a good thing. Unlike Buckaroo, we're actually going to get a sequel this time, though.

Mad props for the Buckaroo reference.

 

It's a given that a sequel is already planned and being prepared.   I believe it was their goal all along to establish The Coduit as a franchise.
