It doesn't have a publisher. No one thinks games like this will sell

Yes, I just saw this in system wars :P.

It looks nice but I wouldn't hype it until it's got a confirmed publisher and we get more info. In the meantime, the graphics look quite nice...

To that end, The Conduit will include a very customizable control scheme very similar to the one in EA's Heroes 2, which offered a fully tweakable bounding box in addition to Wii remote sensitivity settings. High Voltage's Eric Nofsinger, chief creative officer, says that the developer turned not only to Heroes 2, but Metroid Prime 3 for inspiration.

It looks like an average one, of course how many of us didn't say this about Metroid Prime.

The story looks interesting, and the visuals are too damn good, too bad i'm not that much into FPS but if the game is good i'm gonna check it out for sure.

IGN and High Voltage are exagerating, this doesn't look fantastic, at least those pics.

And it kinda reminds me of Conker Bad Fur Days, I can see a bit too many FPS references there... Halo, Metroid, GoldenEye, Half-Life...

Is that a joke? In general? Sure these aren't the best screenshots. But #1 the game is very early in development, and #2 this is a Wii game! Those graphics are bordering on incredible for a Wii game already, even at this early stage. And I don't think they're exaggerating when they say that most Wii games look like crap. Did you watch the video of their tech demo? There was some very impressive stuff in their engine...reminded me a bit of how the Source engine looks (not quite as good, but in that style). Anyway - if they'd like to rip off Halo, Metroid, Goldeneye and Half-life, they are more than welcome to, and I will buy it. You just rattled off 4 of the best FPS games in history. I'd gladly play an amalgamation of all 4, thank you very much.

That shotgun looks an awful lot like the Killzone shotgun, just my observation.

Don't overreact, those pics doesn't look good, period. I'm not going to start any kind of cautious optimism because some dev finally admitted thirdies need to actually try hard. He's just saying what we want to hear, and it doesn't make this any more beautiful:

And what? "ZOMG an amalgamation of all 4"? By your logic, if we mixed let's say Ocarina of Time, Soul Calibur, Shenmue, Super Metroid, Street Fighter and a few more games, the result would be nothing less than the second coming of Jesus, right?

they need to improve the visual alot the first screenshot looked pretty good but then went down hill from there. Hopefully controls are tight too, cause that's the biggest deciding factor.

the graphics defiantely aren't 360 quality like the devs say they wanted but for a wii title I am impressed especially considering the game is not finished with development.

It looks interesting. The screenshots actually look good and if you guys saw the tech demo, these guys know what they are talking about. The developers are definitely ambitious trying to actually create a mature shooter for Wii that actually tries to use the Wii's graphic engine and not just make a crappy port. The main problem is that they don't have a publisher. N-space had better not jump on it, I do not want to have another game like Geist come out. I really don't think ubisoft should do it either seeing how Red Steel was. It will take some time, but I hope they are able to get this game off the ground. It is about time that a 3rd party developer step up to do something new.

Honestly... this game doesn't look that "AWESOME". Any system can do a FPS! The Wii needs more games that only the Wii can pull off. Games like De Blob and Boom Blox (despite their kiddiness) seem really exciting because they are unique & interesting titles the likes which you'd never see on the other consoles.

Unless I get some hard proof that this title's really gonna stand out from the crowd... no dice. :roll:

Didnt MoH have no friends codes.

Also I hope you dont just shoot generic big monsters in the game.

Another thing is this game is not near done. i would even estimate and say its in pre alpha and its rivaling with MP3 in terms of visuals.

The screens themselves look alright, but the lack of real shadows irks me. The available effects and rendering techniques they developed to be utilizable for the Wii is amazing though! That tech demo video was awesome, and hopefully these really are just early screenshots, considering they got to get the game up and running before they can sit down and polish the hell out of it. However I think they are a bit crazy for wanting to get 60 fps out of the console with all those effects, but hopefully they'll do it!

Well I meant that it would be lame if it only had big monsters to shoot but I found out that you also have humanoid combat as well.

Online is a must have. If they are really serious about this game online would be needed.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw Wii....FPS on the IGN page. However, who are we to pass this game off as poorly made already when: 1) The framerate hasn't even been pushed towards 60 FPS YET. 2) They only could show us the tech demo because development JUST started. 3) They said they were modeling the game after the best FPSs ever made (I doubt they will try to include their mistakes) 4) No publisher has been found either. Publishers could tweak things and possibly give the game a bigger budget and make the graphics even BETTER, along with some marketing. If this game gets anywhere near an above average rating here on GS (7.0 and beyond), or higher than Red Steel, we might have one of the Wii's 1st million-selling First Person Shooters. We'll just have to wait and see.......

Why are people comparing this to the abilities of the 360? Just stop. Please. We know for a FACT the Wii is weaker than the other systems. Its not going to EVER produce games that visually match the other two. If you want high end graphics, get one of the other consoles or a PC. But don't diss the game because you have unrealistic expectations. Find me a Wii game that looks BETTER than this. You won't. You should be comparing it to other Wii games, not cross platform.

There's nothing wrong with 30FPS. Most FPS run at that. It just has to at least run smootly through all the game.

Yeah but there is a big difference, there is always a market for FPS no matter where your selling them, Sadness is trying something new and different, thats a tougher sell. These guys should have an easier time at it for finding a publisher.

At 480p they probably could get close, considering a 360 has to render 720p minimum, which means the graphics reflect that minimal output resolution. With the right kind of development and effort, they could come I think somewhat close. Shaders do a great job of hiding polygons and adding details. My only qualm right now is those pictures look terrible, but it's obvious they are just trying to get the game set up first, then go through the process of making it all pretty, optimizing it and making it a great game. That tech demo was pretty cool though, and I'm really happy someone finally has aimed to create a Wii specific engine. I was waiting for Factor 5 to do that, but they are taking a while it seems.
