Despite the reviews of the Conduit, what are your hopes for future HVS games?

The Conduit got positive to mixed reviews and a slow start in the sales, any thoughts for future games by HVS?

My hopes?
Nothing,I'm not getting hyped for a HVS game.

Didn't really think it's that great imo.

The Grinder looks great! Hopefully their games improve.

I think they'll start slow, but with user feedback, they'll start making better games that more people will be interested in, unlike The Conduit which many people didn't like (I haven't played it yet, though)

IMO The Conduit did not live up to the hype! I think it is an ok game but there are definitely improvements that need done on future games. I hope HVS can take all the feedback and continue to try and make great games for the Wii. As for supporting them I will, everyone should try to remember this is their first try. :)

I think the Conduit was a good game, at least as a base. I'm sure they've learned from the criticism they've received and know what they need to do to make a great game. I'm pretty optimistic about their new games!

Solo was a disappointment in The Conduit, HVS should realise most modernFPS games now feature ally characters, vehicles and cinematic scripting in levels andcutscenes to tell the story. It couldnt have hurt to have some marines or police or Trust agents escortng you in the main campaign.

But this is their first GOOD gamePices

Depends on what you mean by 'good'.

I'd say its decent, like all prior attempts.

I'd say mediocore personally. Not that a mediocore game can't be fun but I think decent is a stretch.

Make them with more care and make them more interesting and deliver on their promises. The only HVS I'm even slightly interested in is The Grinder but even that is stretching it, after playing The Conduit they'll have to do a lot to impress me.Haziqonfire

What did they promise in The Conduit that wasn't delivered? Sepewrath

16 player online

no lag

online experience to be as good as good as Mario Kart Wii

visuals that match 360/PS3

wiimotion plus, (this one was kind of understandable though)

the "revolutionary" All Seeing eye

the game to revitalize the hardcore audience

NOTHING HERE DELIVERED.

No. Not in the slightest. The Grinder looks decent, despite the terrible enemy designs and boring werewolf strafing battles.

Gladiator AD looks nice graphically but appears to be very busted in the whole "gameplay" aspect with it's warp dodging and clunky fighting mechanics.

My hopes?

Well, obviously I hope that they're good. Why would I hope that they fail?

That said, I have no expectations that they're going to suddenly magically come up with an amazing game.

After the massive fail that The Conduit turned out to be, I don't have any hopes for future HVS games. I wouldn't mind being pleasantly surprised by one, but I certainly don't expect anything.

Well, I thought the Conduit turned out to be a very solid game and pretty much compared to your average PS360 shooter. It's no Halo but the campaign was fun and the online is great.

That much being said I would really like them to make more complex, detail and just more aesthetically pleasing environments in general that don't look repetitive (The Grinder looks better than TC but still looks like it suffers from basic design). Anti-aliasing would also be nice to take away the line crawl and jaggyness. Being able to drive vehicles, have co-op, and split screen would be icing on the cake.

Oh yeah the bigger bosses were REALLY lame, clunky and boring.... come on HV!

I want Gladiator A. D. to be Motion Plus compatible with Online Play, Story Mode and Create-A-Character mode and I'd be happy.

Wasn't that a horrendous misunderstanding? I though they said they'd get their game as close to one as possible. The game usesa lotof the tech that 360/PS3 games use except at a lower level. No other Wiigame even comes close on a technical level so they did deliver on that one. It was just the art sty'le that failed.

Nope, I have no hope for a company that makes games JUST because there are people on message boards who complain about the Wii. It's sad. GamerJM

Grinder. Nuff said.

I don't think more user feedback is what HVS needs. I think they need more talent, plain and simple. Even one person with an eye for great games could make a huge difference on their team. They need someone in their studio telling them, "This isn't quite good enough," before their games are released. And I don't mean little fine-tuning things at the end of the development process.... I mean the primary ideas that drive the games. Much of the crap in The Conduit could've been avoided early in the process.

actually, SEGA should've said that before letting them release the game (if that's how you feel), especially because they were letting HVS use their money.

I know it wasn't HVS first game ever, but I honestly don't think it turned out that bad. They created a brand new engine, and tackled a genre they've never played with before. Sure it wasn't perfect, but as a game on the Wii (not that specific genre), it's a better product than most of what's released thus far (from other developers).

It's not the best, but like I said... it's above average when it comes to Wii.

To me, HVS have put more effort into a decent, brand new IP... than most others have. We have a few gems here and there, but the Wii's library isn't the sacred land of "must haves" and I think you all know that.

I'll just take the same approach as I did with The Conduit with HVS's future games: I hope they're awesome, but I expect them to be mediocre at best.

lol

I'm not saying that it's ok for HVS not to release a golden gem for us, just because the Wii's library lacks in some spots. I agree, it's not going to make anyone like the game more.

I just don't think it was that bad concidering what they had to do.

lol I never really listened to the hype, I was just exicted to have a somewhat futuristic shooter, and I guess my expectations weren't that high either. I try to handle everything like that though. If it sucks, you're ok. If it's great, even better.

Good that some people can enjoy it. I like Sam's Choice Cola better than Coke.

I've always preferred what's on sale lol

I do the same thing. But like I said, I was expecting nothing and I got something worse than nothing. I thought I might've been too critical about the game since it's release, but now that I've played it.... I wasn't being critical enough. That amazes me.

JordanElek

I actually had the exact same thoughts about it. I'm not one to have very high expectations, and I have thoroughly enjoyed tons of games that others turned up their noses at (Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Mega Man Star Force, modern Sonic games, and so on), and I still was disappointed and thought the game sucked. It takes effort to get me to think that a game sucks. :P

Controls and a more detailed matchmaking system in online than other games arent enough to stand alone as making a game good.

Dude exactly what about the game is soooooo bad? It has the best online out of any Wii FPS, the best controls, I mean really? In a previous post I talked about my problems with the game and explained them..... it seems like people are getting on the hate band wagon just for the sake of it.umcommon

And for the record, I can still pinpoint aim with The Conduit's controls. Like I said, there aren't major problems, but I find them to be no different than other Wii FPS games, except for the lack of creativity. MoHH2's controls are much more fun because of the little things you can do.

So that's not really a problem, but more of a disappointment. But I can assure you that my feelings have nothing to do with a hate bandwagon.

Dude, that is like saying Photoshop is the best game on a Mac....because its all it has to offer. That doesn't make it good! What was that saying about winning the special olympics? Kinda the same thing there ;)

I will say, moments of the Conduit I kinda thought were fun, but most were just like ...yup, uh huh..OK. Wheres my $50 worth?!?
