The Conduit Has Some Competition

"It's going to look better than any Wii game I've ever seen on the market. For all intents and purposes it's the same game. (as 360/PS3 version). This will easily the best shooter on the Wii." - Senior producer Noah Heller (Call of Duty: World at War)

firstly the conduit looks like dog crap, even early ps2 games have better art direction and level design than the conduit...the enemies in the conduit have N64 textures, and the in game character models can make a guy with 20/20 vision go blind...lately the US government has been using images of the conduit as a torture technique at guantanamo bsy....also it is being made by a developer that has an unimpressive track record (50 Cent bullet proof, for example)...so yeh

CODwow will definitily kick its ass..no contest

I LOL'D :lol:

Well game designers DO talk the talk.Now they have to back up their words.

I don't see how people can even judge a game while it is still in production.

PR hype?Foolz3h

Thats what it sounds like, so they better back it up.

The game is in Pre-alpha stages? Do you even know what that means? And how would you know PS2 games have better level design? Oh, what's that? You've played the game! Send me a copy please.

I agree partially.
The Conduit is technicly superior to most we see on the Wii (you can't deny that).
Also, there's nothing wrong with the textures. :|

The real problem (as you stated) is the artst.yle...
How unimaginative and fugly. It's a great looking and ugly looking game at the same time.

Competition is good...

However, I'm really not interested in either of those games...

I'm curious about The Conduit, but it sure as hell won't be better than COD: World At War on the Wii.elektrixxx

What do you mean by that ? The studio working on CoD5 has never made a decent game. The conduit actually has a motivated developer who wants to prove themselves with a real game.

I like this kind of trash talk from gaming companies. Now they just have to pony up and show us the graphically impressive goods. Mario Galaxy, Brawl, and Metroid Prime 3 were impressive!

Brawl looks way better than Galaxy.radicalplace

thats where your wrong...cod 3 was a great game, it was rushed, so treyarch was never able to fully implement all the ideas they had and wanted to add in that game, however world at war is not beign rushed, plus treyarch also made COD2 big red one, and cod united offense. they also made the first 2 spiderman movie games, which were good...so ive proven you wrong there...BUT WAIT THERES MORE.....lets look at high voltages track record...lets see

Fight for Life, Tempest, Ground Control, Monster Jam, The Haunted Mansion, Zathura, 50 Cent Bullet Proof (haaaaaaaaaahahahhhahhahahhahahahha), Ben 10 etc.....please dont tell me that you think high voltage has better track record than treyarch....

No but he saw the 2 minute gameplay trailer from a pre-alpha demo version of the game and thought he'd bash it in the most over the top and innacurate way he could. High Voltage I don't think have made an actual non-cash-in game yet, most there games are like 50 cent, and porting and stuff so it'll be interesting to see how they do with the conduit.

this is all you guys need to read to see that cod wow will crush conduit....RIP conduit...

also to the mumbling mosquitos that are condemning me for bashing the pre alpha stage..remember that high voltage said that they didnt want to realise screens and vids till they thought that they could give the public an idea of what their game looks like....so if you guys can put 2 and 2 together, which im sure is not difficult, then youll will realise where im coming from...if not then i pity youll...i cant believe youll will settle for such mediocracy...the wii is not a FPS console...and as much as i hate that fact (me being a huge nintendo fan, and owning all their consoles since nes), i have learnt to accept it...thats why i understand youll getting hyped for the conduit, since its a unique FPS...at first i was too, but seriously if you just think about it and not buy into the PR hype youll realise its really mediocre...what would you rather have crab cakes with imitation meat, or crab cakes with real crab meat....exactly, i didnt think so...

I'm not sure what you're talking about at this point. I don't really see anybody hyping The Conduit, we're just discussing the fact that CoD will be competition for it.

There's a reason why game reviewers don't release their critiques until after a game is released, and that's simply because things change. Quit condemning The Conduit before it's even had a chance. It may very well end up being a mediocre game, or worse, but nobody can judge that with any confidence yet.

And I'm not going to take jabs at my intelligence seriously from someone who can barely write a coherent sentence.

whatever lets you sleep at night, kid.....firstly sayiing the conduit has competition means that people think the conduit will be good, or atleast has a chance of being good, plus theres a whole lot of hype on the boards, which im sure you are aware of, also you never said anyting about me bashing the conduit, so in my earlier post i wasnt adressing any of my jabs at you, so why would you unecessarily assume that i was.....so there, if you still dont understand why im bashing the game, then youre beyond redemption...

Umm, yeah. Of course it has a chance to be good, that's kinda what I was trying to point out to you with that last post. I can't say that it will be good, but you can't say that it won't. You can't judge a game before it is released. You can obviously read, now lets just work on those comprehension skills...kid

have a nice day

holy crap ironre5 keep goin, your on a flaming spree!

thanks i just unlocked an acheivement - "Putting kids in their place", so i plan on cotinuiing this spree of mine...

the trailer for cod wow actually looks promising, plus 4 player co-op and vehicles in multiplayer should make it a great game...also treyarch have released good games, just look at one of my earlier posts on this page, and youll find out. also in that same post youll see all the crappy titles that high voltage have released.. seriously have a brown paper bag near you, cos after you see the list of high voltage's titles, you'll surely puke in disgust, or die of laughter..

You sir are the FREAKIN MAN..that was real funny..i saved it in my favorites..lol

I agree the conduit has bad art direction, I used to hate the game but now im starting to like it. I realize what HVS is trying to do. They are trying to imitate those other FPS (Halo, Half-Life, etc) however, for the Wii. The game will be great for the Wii because its there to offer a quick FPS session. It is not going to be an AAA franchise or anything. It's going to be a quick fps a la Unreal Tournment or Halo

Plus, after playing Gyrostarr, I trust that HVS knows what they are doing. They might have a bad reputation because of the crap licenses they had to deal with (50cent bullet proof) but they look like they are trying to improve.

Instead of bashing them like I did, give them a chance. If they dont deliver, then fine. They dont and you move on.

As for now, out of there 3 titles (Gyrostarr, that animal game for WiiWare and The Conduit) they are a perfect 1 for 1.Haziqonfire

High Voltage also made VIP Casino Blackjack, and it wasn't so good.

Aren't we forgetting something here? The Conduit isn't due out for release until next year. So they still have plenty of time to polish up the graphics before they release it, so stop insulting the game like it has already been released. We still have no clue what the next Call of Duty on Wii will look like, so who knows? I am still leaning towards the Conduit.

I didn't assume anything. I'm taking everything from your posts. Yes I saw your comments on the art direction, and then I saw your further comments on the lackluster level design, and then you claimed that without the 'hype' the game is actually mediocre. Oh, and then you suggested that these two games are not in competition, because CoD will be good and The Conduit won't. I think that pretty well sums it up. And to avoid arguing in circles, I'll refer you back to my previous posts for answers to those baseless criticisms (aside from the art, of course)

Oh, and I guess I should call you a child or something right? Cause that makes me superior to you, right? Why don't you cut the insults and just argue the topic?

true i do seem to get carried away..i just dont like it that high voltage have hyped up the Graphics in this game, and are using that as a selling point..i couldnt care less about the graphics, but everyone seems to think this will be the next best looking Wii game which pisses me off, and you have to admit, some screens looked horrible, though in the trailer i did like the part where he pulls out this gun and hes in a blue room, i thought that looked good..i love the human weapons, and his futuristic suit, they all look good, but the alien models, alein weapons and enviornemtns look bland..tho it is pre alpha, and metroid prime looked bad at pre alpha too, so i guess i went way over board...

I apologize for insulting you and my fellow board members..ill try and keep my insults in check next time...

I do admit that some screens look like trash. Honestly, it looks like a generic game to me so far. I only meant to say that without playing it we can't judge how good the game will be, because sometimes we get surprises.

I appreciate the apology. And I'm also sorry for getting too carried away.
