The conduit could flop

i never even heard of highvoltage software before the conduit was anounced, so i looked up the company, i saw all the other games they made and i wish i did not see because it was full of flops. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Voltage_Software. I realy hope this game does better then everything else they did before.

any game can flop. whats your point?air_wolf_cubed

well did you look at the history of the company, the chances of this game floping are higher then the chances of other games floping. SMG could of floped but the chances were low since nintendo usualy gives great games, but a company that has a bunch of flops the chances are much higher

flopity, flop, flop, flop.

That's a funny word isn't it? Flop.

Ah man, I didn't know they were the guys who made the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Video Game. That sucked some major super monkey balls. This company practically hasn't made any good games yet. (I'll go back and check to be sure) I hate to say it, but the conduit could very well flopity, flip, flap, flop.

Lets hope it doesn't.

It very well could. That doesn't mean people shouldn't continue to look forward to it.

Now, the massive hype-train (I'm looking at you IGN) could certainly slow down though...

well there are a few spots games that got AA but i dont like spots games, there are a couple of A games but nothing to get excited about. i was hoping the conduit will get a AA 8.5

It won't flop as long as everyone continues to fap to it as they do in this forum.:roll:clicketyclick

Haha, talking about it like crazy is one thing. Going out and putting $50 on a game after all the dust has settled on it is another. I think games like No More Heroes would agree with my assessment, too. The fact is that despite some of the efforts that the Conduit hopeful are making to hype this game, it's not going to be something that's for everyone, and that's going to be the case regardless of how good this game may actually become. There already goes a nice chunk of potential consumers, so that pretty much leaves those that are really interested in this kind of experience. Seeing as how the Wii isn't exactly established as a system with a lot of well-known names in the FPS universe, the majority of potential buyers for this game is going to fall along the lines of those that have been following the game from the get-go.

If The Conduit exceeds my expectations and becomes a rather good game, I hope it does well. Still, it has a ways to go as it stands now.

Of course you're right in your analysis, and I think Snakes on a Plane would join me and No More Heroes in agreeing with you. I'm not expecting great things considering how unrealistic the hype is ("it looks like a 360 game!") and how derivative the game is.

unlikely.

the team seems to have much spirit and determination. They have already used other games such as MP3 and MOH as guides.

technically speaking, the game looks fantastic. it shows they are taking this game very seriously.

Every company has to start somewhere. Retro hadn't made much of anything good before Nintendo bought them, and then they produced a masterpiece in Metroid Prime(I know Nintendo had influence, but it was still the core Retro). Frontier(Lostwinds) has never made a game I have heard of until Lostwinds(did they even make another game?) and they produced a fabulous WiiWare game.

While I do think Conduit has flop written all over it, HVS could possibly produce something great, it wouldn't be the first time that a company has gone from bad to good.

They've made quite a few other games, but the only ones I recognize most are Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 & 3 and Thrillville.

they are working really close with nintendo......and just because a company had bad games before you dont know if they are going to keep giving bad games

well they made nba hangtime and that game is pwn so this game might be alsoKeenzach

sports games are not anything special, but a good fps is going to be hard to make

it could very well flop. the devs track record isnt exactly stellar.

but they seem to be giving this alot more effort than their previous titles. im not saying its going to be great or a revolution in the FPS genre.....but it could be a very enjoyable FPS on wii (something the wii sorely lacks bar MP3). if they nail the controls and have a nice looking game thats fun to play then ill be happy. thatll be a step up from the dross available on the wii so far on the FPS front (again bar MP3....crackin game that).

deadly creatures could also flop for the same reason...but im keeping an eye on that also as i think it has great potential.

Actually it could pass as a 360 game.

um no they arent

Oh god pleeeeeease. The Wii doesn't touch the 360 as far as graphical capabilities. There's no point in pretending otherwise. I thought we'd gotten over this sore spot by launch.

well bungie never had amazing games until they made halo so the game might be amazingreo-117

I think Marathon and the Myth series would disagree with you there, as well as the institutions that honoured them with awards.

r_gam3

Just what I was going to say. I highly doubt it will flop.

This can be said with any game

Lair could of been amazing

And we all know how that went

And they made Gyrostarr which is a pretty great gamefabz_95

he didnt specifiy which 360 game he just said 360 game and every once and a while a crappy looking 360 game does come along . and all of Bungies games after marathon have been hits

I don't think IGN meant to praise it as a "crappy looking 360 game" when they said it. :P

a crapy looking 360 game on the wii could still make for the best looking game on the wii

True, but it was meant as praise. They meant it that people were double-taking it and mistaking it for a 360 game. Like, any 360 game. :roll:
