Pre-E3 2008: The Conduit Update** Huge improvement***

OMG!!! I believed HVS all along but this... this is something else. for those who don't know yet there is a story to this game and it seems pretty deep click here for it (its actually an official not completed manual but it provides a lot of info)

PS: If you are starting to get really excited and want to help make this game a success click on my sig and join the conduit union. We will be starting our Buy The Conduit campaign hopefully pretty soon when we have an official release date

in times of darkness when the world is filled with ubicr@p and data design interactive trash, a hero emerges

thank you HV

[QUOTE="lolag"]When i was reading the online exiperince from the interview he said he wants "Quality over Quantity" If they keep it im sure it can live up to the hypebobbetybob

I hope so. Thing with like 99% of online shooters is everyone usually ends up playing 1 or 2 of the game modes and on one map that they like most. So if they just made like 3 or 4 maps but made them really varied, and just had 2 game modes but agasin, unique ones, that'd be awesome. Rather than having 10 similar maps, 8 gameplay modes, that are just deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag, etc.

You know how Halo had downloadable maps after the game was released? I was thinking it would be cool if they released more maps via Conduit's own channel. That would add so much more to the game in the long term.

Nice improvement of the characters/monsters and weapons. Now, if only those environments could get the same treatment.

However looking good is one thing, I hope it has something to differentiate itself from the abundance of FPS as far as gameplay goes. There's so many of them it's easy to be just another one in the barrel.

It's great that it's improving graphically but I'm still not that excited for it.

laus_basic

I was thinking the same thing.

For the first time I will agree that Conduit actually looks fairly good. The video surprised me. I still don't have high expectations because... High Voltage..GamerForca

whats wrong with HV.....have u played The Red Star.....that game is an amaizing multiplayer experience

The Conduit just keeps looking better and better and it is still not even going to be out until Q1 of 2008.NormanOfTorn

Then that would mean we're in Q2 2007 :P

Woah. I can say that this was quite unexpected. Those screens look like a great improvement and I'm sure, with still loads of time left, they will polish it like crazy, as they stated in the interview.

The gameplay video looks very smooth. I'm impressed. The more info that comes, the more it seems like HVS will be able to make this a great game.

Looks good.

I still feel that this will end up like Lair though. Looks great, but then you play it and...well don't like it.

Considering the developers other 2 WiiWare games I am not impressed with them so far, hopefully this does well though.

Like a few people have said before me, the people look amazing, but the environments quite honestly, look really bad. Lets not kid ourselves. As for the gameplay apparent from the video, it dosen't seem to be a lot of fun. It just looks like a basic shooter with no fun twist (hopefully the story is good with some cool gadgets). Don't get me mistaken, I really want this game to be good, for all our sakes. Kudos to the amount of effort that they have put into this game. I just feel that the environments and gameplay could be a it better. I haven't played the game so I honestly really don't know. I am going to save my judgement for when I actually play it.

:shock:...!!!!!OMFG!!!!11!

its awesome!!!

day 1 purchase!!!

thank you HV!!1

How the heck can you gather that from a 25 second video clip?

The twist is: it's not on the 360 and you're using the Wiimote.

there ya go :D

Keep in mind, they still have until Q1 2009 to polish it, and in the interview, they say that they are pretty much just focused on the multiplayer now that the single player is complete. All that's left is "polish, polish, polish".

Hats off to High Voltage. Looks like they are going to deliver on those promises! Thank god!

Keep up the pace HV. You've got the visual aspect down, now make sure the gameplay, story, controls, enemy AI, and online elements get the same treatment. Give us an unforgettable Wii experience and show those money-grubbing, port-making, Wii-fearing, big-shot, developers how exactly you make a Wii game!

Can't wait to play this game!

It looks like it's only running at 30 frames even with those bland looking textures in places, hopefully they will get it looking a lot better and get Voice Chat intergrated into MP.

At this point I don't care if the game sucks horribly. Their show of effort as a little known developer has touched my heart. I'm going to buy this on release.Akel777

You, sir, took the words right out of my mouth.

We'll see I guess, still don't trust High Voltage after selling Gyrostarr to me.

Again, I hope it is good, but I have little faith in them.

apparently this all seeing eye thing is the differentiator. apart from the fact that its on wii of course

I'll admit that I used to roll my eyes whenever High-Voltage made statements about making the Conduit look like a 360 game, but after seeing these massive improvements done in such a short amount of time, I'm starting to think that they might just come through with their promises. All of the weapon models and enemies seem to boast some impressive textures and the gameplay footage runs at a silky-smooth pace, but I still feel that there is plenty of room for improvement. Hopefully in the next couple of months, High-Voltage can put some effort into continuing to polish the visuals as well as taking some time to replace those God-awful environments, which if removed, would elevate the game significantly.

As far as gamepay is concerned, I have mixed feelings. I am certainly pleased that the developers have noted their inspiration from classics such as Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, but from what little gameplay I have seen, I honestly can't say too much. But hey, who is paying attention to this game for the gameplay? I care about this game for one reason and one reason only: it may be actual, living proof that the Wii is capable of impressive visuals. If it will have the most boring gameplay I have ever seen, I won't be able to care less as long as I get my fair share of normal mapping and dynamic lighting. Hey, if a crappy developer like High Voltage can make a pretty game, imagine what Factor 5 could do!

Anyways, I hope High-Voltage can use the remainder of their time to fix some of the game's issues and polish the graphics to an even more stellar level. I pray to God that this game sells like crazy, because if not, all it will say is that Wii owners really don't have a need for high-budged titles on their console.

no matter how much improvement hv delivers on this potentially amazing fps, there will be a group of non-believers. but i think this time, the believers will triumph over the unfaithful. SHUN THE NON-BELIEVER, SHUUUUUNNNNNN!!!

but i was down w/ this game when it was first announced. wii is seriously dearth on games thats recieving this much detailed construction.all we need to do is save our pennies and wait until this puppy drops...then praise hv for giving us the entire reason we picked up a wii in the first place!

EPICEPICEPIC

This is amazing and its still not a final build yet, Hats off to High Voltagegstatus904

Yeah, dang now I just can't wait to see how it looks when it's released.
