Conduit Poll

I am definitely buying this one.

Next gen visuals, online modes that are more than just the usual FFA, TDM, CTF, voice chat, completely customizable control scheme.

Best part of it, you can map all the necessary buttons to the Wii Remote and leave your other hand free for cake.

Mmmmm.....Cake......

im just not gonna go with the hype for wii games... Look at mad world for example, it was so hyped and turned out to be short and shallow

gotta rent it first

I'm very interested in The Conduit, it's one of the only great games I've heard of in a while.

Yes.

No guarantee, none at all. But a sliver of a chance if the reviews are positive.

No

I played Conduit 1 and 2 last gen

I still haven't picked up Conduit 3 this gen and I'm not interested in the Conduit Wars series.

I've had enough of the Conduit right now, I'm more interested in new things

Looks simply amazing IMO, but I'm going to rent it and watch the reviews before I do buy it. :)

No

I played Conduit 1 and 2 last gen

I still haven't picked up Conduit 3 this gen and I'm not interested in the Conduit Wars series.

You are confused, we are discussing the Conduit, not Halo.

This is new for the Wii, because it is the FirstFPS done right.

To answer the question, yes, I will buy it if I have the money. What is the exact release date for America?Rod90

Sometime in June 2009

Yes, I will pick it up. It's about the only Wii game I'm looking forward too.

No, we're talking Conduit

The old song and dance where aliens are to be stopped and you're just the guy to do it. Along the way you'll use weapons from Earth and some designed for aliens and maybe you'll even discover some mysteries about it all.

Oh wow, it's 2001 again

Everything in that game is old and done before a generation ago, people have moved on to better uses of the FPS genre. This is an old game that's been done many times already and by now people are sick of it.

As far as doing the genre right Metroid did it right a long time ago and then games like Call of Duty WaW have done great as well.

This brings nothing to the genre except that orb. I doubt that is going to make this a defining game and if it doesn't then this is just another run of the mill FPS games that anyone who has played FPS's before have played before.

So the game brings nothing new to the genre (except the orb) and that's it

The FPS genre as a whole is fresh out of ideas. It's either zombies, aliens or soldiers. Yet FPS's are still the most popular game type - people like FPS's because they get to shoot things with big guns. Change a few weapons, places, and enemies, and you have a "new" FPS. The Conduit is just another FPS, but it is unique because it is on the wii and it may actually be able to compete with other console shooters.

Each year there's new advancements that add another layer to the genre.

Does the Conduit do that? Not at all

If anything the Conduit is pushing back the genre by doing nothing new.

All it is is a controller, that's it

That control scheme has been done a bunch of times on the Wii perfectly starting with like I said, Metroid. That's not new, it's years old just from a Wiimote control standpoint.

How has the genre advanced? One of the biggest ones is the AI Director, something that the Wii doesn't have the power to run. But who cares, think up something new.

Heck, Elebits does more for the advancment of the genre on the Wii then the Conduit

Jayson is right, it isn't doing anything for the genre what so ever, unless there's a big secret we still don't know about lol.

The only thing that the Conduit is trying to do (which is a shame imo) is compete with the good "3" FPS's that we do have on the system as of now for the title of "Best Wii FPS". It's sad because the console is perfectly set up for this particular genre, but it's not flooded with the them when compared to the other consoles.

I'm just hoping for a good game, I just like the controller

It opens oppertunity for more unique FPS's on Wii.

And yes, the controller is the reason I have other shooters on 360/PS3 and love shooters on Wii.

Metroids control scheme wasn't perfect. Metroid is snails pace compared to Medal of Honor Heroes 2

[QUOTE="Jaysonguy"]

[QUOTE="wescash"] The conduit doesn't do anything new for an FPS, but being on the wii and being able to control it with the wiimote may work perfectly and be more fun than using a controller - that is an advancement in technology. What new advancements have furthered the FPS genre in the last few years? Online and graphics are all I can think of, and they haven't change the idea or premise of the FPS at all.snover2009

How?

Other devs will go "Hey look, those guys are just rehasing 2001, I bet we can do better"
No, it doesn't work that way

Metroid had those controls, they've been trumped twice as far as greatness but that didn't usher new people to the Wii did it?

No it didn't

The Conduit is supposed to be good because:

It is a FPS on wii with all the good stuff other FPS games have

It seems to have good graphics

It has offline and online multiplayer

It will control with the wii remote

It sounds like a lot of effort has been put into the game

There is no other game that fits that criteria and thatis why the conduit is unique and people want to buy it.

The are not rehasing 2001, the Conduit is different, and don't even ask how.

Does halo have a ASE device? Did a halo game appear on a Nintendo console? Do people who own ONLY a Wii and want FPS game need to be FORCED to buy another console just to play a couple of games that they can't get on Wii?

The answer to all these questions are "no."

It opens up oppertunities because it is a quality FPS on Wii, the Nintendo Wii, a console in some serious need of good FPS's.

It will encourage developers to put more effort into Wii titles. Some do but not enough do.

If I had a PC to run games like FARCRY 2, CRYSIS, FEAR, and HALF-LIFE 2 I would probably say the same thing that you are, but I don't have a PC, I can't play those other games.

When it comes out, all of this won't matter because the only thing that is going to be on my mind is that I will be able to play a good FPS online against opponents across the globe and use voice chat with Wii speak. Many people have already done this, but I haven't, most Wii gamers havent. It will be something I haven't experienced before.

If you can see that, I don't know what to tell you.

That my friend is a PORT of a 360 game, the Conduit is an EXCLUSIVE title, like Mario Galaxy.

The main problem with WAW is the lag in the IR.

I'm undecided i might rent it. Not really looking forward to it that much unless it has a good story. I've played enough fps games and if i'm going to buy another shooter i want it to have something special about it.

Here we go again. Ok, Jaysonguy, I'll play along: Are the only games we should buy the ones that "Advance the genre"? Does a game have to be something entirely unique to be a great game? Of course not! What's wrong with simply enjoying a great game, regardless of if the concept is not completely original. Besides, I don't recall any other games that take place in DC and are focused on both government conspiracies and aliens. Generic or not, if a game is great you should get it! And since HVS seems to be putting genuine effort into making the game we fans have been craving, it's safe to assume the game will be great! Exactly what flaws do you see in The Conduit? And not being something totally new is not a flaw. Right now the game seems to have great technical features, great single-player, and great online! That is something to look forward to. If The Conduit succeeds, I guarantee you that at least a few more devs will finally realize that you can have a "hardcore" experience on Wii equal to that on the other consoles and that it CAN make money! Bottom line: The Conduit looks to be a great game and if it succeeds it is entirely probable that more quality FPS games will be made for the Wii.Head_of_games

I stopped taking his posts seriously.

Mainly his "Madworld is a mini-game collection" claim.

Then he tries to argue that it is mini-games connected by beat'em up sections.

Some of the missions don't even have minigames in them (Von Twirlenkiller, Martin, etc.)

definetely will buy this game!

Controlling an FPS with the wiimoteis alot more visceral experience than a simple controller. I own MoH: H2 and while it definitely isn't the best FPS ever, I feel completely captivated when playing online with other people - it just works. If the conduit is able to succeed in multiplayer and controls, as well as graphics and such, it will be a huge accomplishment and make me a proud wii owner.
