looks like the conduit didn't show the "true potential" they wanted after all. We'll se where this new hype train leads.

I hope they spend a little more money on art direction and level design. Some areas in the conduit were seriously bland.

TC looks great, but it also looks terrible in some cases. The initial levels were boring as hell, and useing many single colored corridors and repeating design made it bad. Latter levels and most weapons look incredible, useing some great graphical effects, textures are half and half, and monster design is HORRIBLE. Ive seen 13 year old kids that draw better creatures.

The Grinder, after only 2 months of development, looks far superior to TC. Gladiador AD also looks great.

Maybe the conduit 2. Haven't they hinted at it being in development?

I bet its about the grinder though, that looks so good

And no offence Free Radical and Factor5 were both better funded studios and had more experiance making graphical power houses then HVS does. HVS could probubly never produce a high budget HD game, but the relatively cheap Wii enables them to compete with state of the art Wii visuals. They can actually create a competitive game.

You realize that on the HD consoles HVS probubly couldn't give us the same high end experiance as they have on the Wii. Think about it, a high quality Wii game or a low quality HD game? Which would you rather get?

In the end many game companies are bighting the dust on the HD platforms and many more are making millions by supporting Wii.  Not to mention The Conduit sold over 150k in the first two weeks and thats not including Europe and Asia. No offense but 200k is pretty decent for a low budget 360/PS3 game, so no I don't think that sales would improve if HVS made Conduit for 360/PS3.

@averyblund & @Joelcool7, u guys r talking about how less money is needed to make wii games, here my rant is about wii will never get any high profile ips withing its lifetime. less of those ips means less ppl r interested in wii, and ppl who actually buy games will not be interested buying games for wii, hence wii will never get any good ips(i.e. like mw2, ac2). ppl r not really buying games where a lot of effort have been put. excercise games r selling like hotcake, and u guys do understand what it means, means bye bye all the major ips and wii owners will end up with games where u can get 12 packs in 12 minutes.

i'm just mad bcos major 3rd parties r not going to put any effort, nintendo on the other hand still not doing anything great. why couldn't they give us full fledge game, instead of bunch of mini games in WSR. ppl like to see what u r doing, what u can do with ur system. if nintendo shows something great then we can hold 3rd parties responsible for not doing great. nintendo, 3rd parties r not doing anything and here us games r waiting like hungry dogs and still hoping one day we'll have our day. and i'm mad bcos we r not going to see that day.

@dontsee

I dont know what to say other than you seriously DONTSEE whats right.

These guys need to stop talking. Their game hasn't even been out more than a couple weeks, and already its not as cool as it could be?

They need to be more tight-lipped, and let their work speak for itself. Pretty soon everything they say will be considered a PR stunt.

Their art design was shit, and attention to detail wasn't too high because it's prolly not that high budget, really not bad for their first FPS attempt, but next time I won't be as forgiving when I play one of their real games for sure, there is so much room for improvement.

the funny thing is the game is selling pretty well lol, and I'm glad it is, but they really need to find out ways to patch the servers to get the hackers to GTFO.
