No Conduit Hype? and Why isn't Metroid....

Game looks wicked, and as we all know FPS control a lot better on the wiimote if done right. Imagine how fun online would be, given such great accuracy and control, due to actual hand movement and NOT control sticks. Only thing has me worried is story, doesn't seem to be interesting, then again we haven't seen much.

Now for Metroid, Bothers me how the game isn't considering as high when compared to other top shooters. (mostly likely due to online and the backtracking) I think Nintendo/Retro need to do another and really think hard concerning online and redo the whole back tracking thing, make it more like a shooter (while keeping what makes MP so great), that way it can be taken more seriously by the more causal gamers. Love to see a Metroid Prime game more focused around online. To the level of having it be compared to Halo or Killzone, etc. Maybe Next gen.

That being said, it wouldn't hurt if Nintendo worked on a SOLID shooter to call its own, Conduit COULD be it (nintendo backing that up?), but most likely not, unless the story and characters are memeorable and very deep.

Thoughts?

No one but the lems and cows are gonna dare hype the Conduit on SW, so don't try to do that. Metroid Prime is by far one of the best FPS' this gen, but it won't get that respect because people insist on calling it a FPA.VideoGameGuy

I have my fingers crossed.... but I'm not overly hyped..... if it turns out really good, I'll definately pick it up.... I'll reserve my excitedness (real word?) for after some reviews are up.

There is a reason why there is no hype for The Conduit.

So, in a nutshell, you want them to take away everything unique and appealing about Metroid (Prime) and just make another shallow corridor shooter that leans on its online mode.

Yeah.

I think it says something about System Wars that I'm no longer at all surprised by this sort of talk. After being here for a few months, I've gotten used to it.

Sheep are better off hyping Little King's Story, which looks more hype worthy than The Conduit, and it could be their 1st AAA this year.:shock:

I have a strange feeling that The Conduit will fall short of its potential. Hopefully it does all right and provokes other devs to start making shooters for Wii, but it probably won't. As for Metroid, the series is getting some time off and I doubt we'll see another game on Wii. Metroid is NOT an fps and is not intended to compete with Halo and the like in any way. It would be nice if the next Metriod had a decent multi-player mode, but I would be more content with a great adventure campaign that reinvents the series yet again.

Everyone has basically given up on thinking and hoping the Conduit will be good (like AA level), so instead sheep focus more on games that might actually turn out to high scorers, AA+. Games like Little King Story, Punch-Out, Monster Hunter 3 (although I haven't seen much for it on system wars yet oddly enough), Sin and Punishment 2 (which same as Monster Hunter 3) and that 2D side scroller game with the awesome art style.

95 % of the time good gamesdon't sell good on wii mostly shovelware look at metroid prime and madworld.

most wii owners don't like hardcore or quality.

On your last point.... I'd love to see NInty come up with a FPS IP of their own.

Maybe even a Super Smash Brawl sort of deal, where manycharacters from different games compete in a FPS FFA Deathmatch....... I'd love to blow away Peach as DK w/ a Rocket Launcher.

Or snipe luigi in the forehead as Link.

Stop The Conduit hype, Kotaku already gave it a horrible preview, and only two months before release, that is bad news. I will seriously be surprised if the game makes it to 7.0. It will probably be Red Steel all over again.

Not final build.

I don't hype games, I play them. And I will be playing this. So that is all the hype I need.
