The Conduit, Too Ambitious?

Of course not. It's about time a third party actually tries instead of releasing a bunch of cash-in titles.

The more appropriate question is:

The Conduit - Too many threads?

if ambitious = crap...then yes the conduit is very very very very very very very very very ambitiousIronre5

Jesus why the heck do you HAVE to go into every Conduit thread and say something like that?

I don't know what's ambitious about a generic first person shooter that uses online features that were available in 2005.Jaysonguy

I agree. Except, I'm sure the features were available longer, wasn't the Live beta in 2002? Mics and friends lists. If I only owned a Wii I might be excited for the game. I don't only own a Wii though, I own all the consoles. I have never seen anything special about this game. It's nice to see that they are trying harder than most developers seem to be, but that doesn't amount to much.

THAT was a LOW REZ trailer, it wasnt HD like the rest!

god dont people listen? the other trailers lookd great, then the new one comes out and people go "omg downgrade confirmed!!!1!"

I am going to say that The Conduit is going to be very, very good. Look at what we have so far:

A new engine for the Wii for its visuals, an estimate of 16 players online, Wii Speak will be implemented. The graphics really do very good. The weapons really cool and some kind of have a little uniqueness to it. Im actually impressed so far.

well i didn't go as you say "omg downgrade confirmed" i just said they weren't pretty nuff said.

also on a lighter note i don't think you intended to have that number one in there with the exlamation points.. for some reason its funny to me :D

also ironre5 im sensing some strong hate for this game

With the graphics?

Yes.

I really don't see the point in trying to have high quality graphics on the Wii.

I am a little questioned as to why The Conduit "innovative" All Seeing Eye is just like The Lens of Truth from Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and stating this is an innovative feature.wiifan001

It's just as innovative as Portal's portals or Fable 2's dog. People don't remember older games, or have never played them.

I would rather see game devs be ambitious and fail than settle for creating mediocre games that sell based on a name alone.TheLordMagnus

very true

I would rather see game devs be ambitious and fail than settle for creating mediocre games that sell based on a name alone.TheLordMagnus

so your saying that you would rather play a game that FAILS than a game that is mediocre?....

cos inthat case, you better preorder the conduit right now...cos its gonna phail

I agree with magnus. HVS is really trying, and they aren't doing a bad job.

I'm still getting it, but has to have a damn good online!

no such thing

ambition is what drives this industry, if you put a damper on it, then it would die

no it's not, I agree that conduit isn't innovative in it's gameplay. but it seems to be innovative in it's approach to the wii, rather than porting an old game from 360 or ps2 or something, and adding wagle controlsor creating an awful looking b-title for wii while they fund a better game on other platforms

they're actually trying, pushing wii, and making the best of it's hardware

they arent doing a good job either....nothing against HVS, but they should just stick to licensed games, since thats what they do best.....

If a game fails, I don't buy it. You seem to be under the impression that we're being forced to buy the Conduit and you are some kind of Rebel Freedom Fighter who might save us from our impending fate. But unlike you, I prefer to wait until a game is released and getting opinions from people whose opinions aren't obviously biased.

no.

there not aiming to be the next deus ex or the next metroid prime. there just trying to bring some level of competence from 3rd parties on FPSs with wii. really we should have been getting MP3 levels years ago but every 3rd party has failed to bring a basic FPS too the wii. EA was the closest but MOH:H2 had a terrible single player game. nice controls and slightly better than average MP are really the only positive from that imho.

there aiming to bring a good looking, technically proficent, nicely controllable FPS that has good SP and MP and is fun to play to the wii. thats it. its not going to fundimentally shift the genre or be a revolution in the genre.

really im surprised noone else has beaten them to the punch. it really says alot about 3rd parties on wii when a small dev with a less than stellar track record looks set to teach the big 3rd parties how FPSs are done on wii (unfortunately they didnt attend the MP3 lesson that nintendo provided).

i just hope they deliver the goods (and the pressure is certainly on since if the game fails then HV may go down with it.)

This.

This too

Agreed

2nded

Etc :P

this game does not look groundbreaking or innovative

but honestly this game looks fun, its full of cool looking weapons and and well it looks pretty...i have a feeling im gonna have lots of fun with this game, regardless of how gamespot rates it...i dont care if games like this were possible five years ago or if theres better games on xbox of ps3...i bought the wii for a reason, to play wii games, and frankly i dont care for its games to be compared to systems i dont own

oops...and i voted yes by mistake >.

Hey, Red Steel failed AND it was mediocre! Sweet huh?

I don't hate the game though, I actually found it pretty enjoyable. And despite being a crappy game, I still give props to Ubisoft for at least attemping to make a shooter for Wii, and plus it was a launch game so they didn't have much time. So even if the Conduit does fail, at least we know that one developer crew tried to make a decent, good looking, well controlled Wii shooter.
(Yeah Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 had good controls [or so I've heard], but from what I could tell, it wasn't super good looking and it's a WWII shooter, not a sci-fi one)
