The Conduit - Best FPS game in 2009

Just like Red Steel back in 06 right?

I will cut off my left testicle if this game does not flop.Buneroid

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Voltage_Software With that developer's track record...........definetely, it will be GOTY 2009.Samurai_Xavier

:o.....:lol:

As far as Best FPS in 2009. I highly doubt it. This game will get killed going up against Halo 3: ODST and Killzone 2. Maybe Best Wii FPS but there isn't really much competition for that title in the first place.

[QUOTE="skrat_01"]Black Mesa Source >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Generic Design Wii shooter ;)Dibdibdobdobo

Please educate me on what makes The Conduit have unique design aside from Wii controls? :| N

ow this does not make the game BAD, games can have a standard FPS template design and still be good, but its hardly anything unique or impressive. Its a Wii shooter, with nice visuals for a Wii game.

Thats it.

Now please, if its suddenly a genre changing revolutionary title due to its unique design, then please tell me.

Hate to see a 'MINDLESS PUPPET' know more about game design than you :|

I don't get the hype for this game. Everything about it screams generic.-Skyfall

There is no hype. Anybody who says that they are extremely excited for it and it will be the best FPS ever is obviously a fakeboy trying to make Nintendo Fans look bad.

Joke thread? The Conduit is probably going to still be good through.

Black Mesa Source is probably going to pwned just about any 2009 FPS game lol.

People have clearly been using 'generic' around you improperly for so long, you've forgotten what it means. Hint: An FPS game is not 'generic' if you shoot enemies in first person in it. That's what makes it an FPS. Might as well call Mario Galaxy 'generic' because you traverse levels in third-person, jumping to avoid pitfalls and enemies, just like every other platformer ever made. :|

If something is 'generic', it has no characteristics that make it unique. It is bland and uninteresting. The Conduit has nothing that distinguishes it from any other FPS, beyond it having a home on the Wii.

Look, all these games have done something different, what the hell does The Conduit have? Oh right wii controls 9.0 out of 10 right? For something we've already experienced in good and bad (Medal of Honor and Red Steel). This game has got to do something else, because right now it looks like this sci-fi shooter that has done nothing other than to people who lived under a rock with a wii and haven't experienced any other platform looks pretty.insanejedi

Is it fair to call Conduit generic when none of us have played it? Not saying it will not be but as of right now we just know it looks good for a Wii game, uses Wiichat online and that is about it.

Perhaps it is slightly unfair to say that it IS a generic shooter. It hasn't come out yet. What has been shown could be misleading.

But it certainly appears to be a generic shooter from what I have seen of it.

Ever heard the meaning dont judge a book by its cover.. works wonders in here as well. fbigent34

That saying implies that there is something beyond the cover which is redeeming.

Could you inform me of what I'm missing that makes the Conduit an interesting FPS that I ought to be excited about?

I agree with part of what you say. There is something that Conduit can give gameplay. Metroid 3 was not MP so we really don't know how well it would have worked with the Wiimote in a MP online game. MOH 2 played great with the Wiimote but the game sucked over all expect the control.

Here you have a game which is really pushing the motion controls even using the Motion+. This may be one of the first true tests for the idea that a motion controller would make a better FPS controller. For that reason alone this game may set it self apart and be a big game. But if it fails and the motion controls do not work well than the idea that a motion control would make a better controller for FPS may die with it.

Understand I did not say WiiMote, I am talking all motion controllers in general. One of the problem though is the game is coming out before the Motion+ comes out. So it may be awhile before we know how good or bad it really is.

Why aren't they special? Halo 3 and MGS4 are both critically acclaimed, scoring a 9.5 and a 10 respectively at this website. This would not have occurred were they not games with unique and redeeming attributes, standing well above other average fare.

Surely, if you believe The Conduit to be a title worth looking out for, if you feel it is a game you're interested in, you could point to something about it that makes it stand out. There has to be some reason it caught your attention, right?

But if you just think that all FPS games are the same, and that the Conduit will be well-received because it is also an FPS game, you're approaching this from the wrong angle. Hyping games you don't care for, whatever the reason, is dishonest.

The Conduit? Are you serious?Willy105

Anyhows, Ryan Davis got to play this at the something or other expo. He liked how the controls worked and how customizable they were, and that's pretty much all he had to say on the subject. Read between the non-existant lines, because it's a video.

And that's pretty much all I have to say on the subject...

Nope. EFBB/AODA is going to be.foxhound_fox

so scoring that high dosent make the game Generic. Last time i check a review is a person opioion on the game. and halo does what all other fps does. and so does mgs4. scoring means nothing to me sorry never will never has. I readsome reviews but i dont go by reviews. what makes halo 3 and mgs4 stand out? I have 360 and played halo 3... I didn't see anything that stood out to me. i havent played mgs4 please tell me what so special in there. sice applenty i wouldn't know...

i really like to know and this error is pissing me off.

Hahaha tell me about it. Why dont you sheep go back playing your sales numbers.

[QUOTE="-Skyfall"]I don't get the hype for this game. Everything about it screams generic.monkeytoes61

Halo was set to revolutionise the genre before its release, the whole 'generic' thing way after its release - around 2004-5.

Now Halo before release was VERY different to the Halo we know today but it was still a great shooter, and it was still a very unique shooter for its day.

The Conduit really does not look that unique or interesting in design at all.

Of course it can still be a good game - especially for a Wii shooter.... But i strongly doubt we are going to see anything groundbreaking or design changing....

I will cut off my left testicle if this game does not flop.Buneroid

are you kidding me? you fanboys make up the ridcoulsou amount of Bullcrap i have seen in my entire life. those arent special at all.. they still generic :|fbigent34

I'm in the mood for deconstructing shooter design.

Enlighten me.

the conduit might end up being a good fps but i dont see it being FPS game of the year in 2009,,,

Hate to see a 'MINDLESS PUPPET' know more about game design than you :|

The whole FPS genre is generic as can be, Halo = Generic, Killzone = Generic, CoD = Generic, Medal of honoue = Generic, Conduit = generic... The only games this gen which have pushed away from this generic crap is Metroid Prime 3 nd Mirrors Edge which are more FPA than FPS. what you mean the standard FPS design? Every single Console FPS is exactly the same formula.

FPS formula has not changed drastically since Perfect Dark / Golden Eye on the N64. When did i say the Conduit had revolutionary game design? Oh i didnt, Dont you look dumb for not being able to read.

"Hate to see a 'MINDLESS PUPPET' know more about game design than you " : You cannot even read let alone know more than me lol. Damn good stuff their with a opinion, A opinion which is wrong though i never knew opinions could be wrong lol.

this game might be really good and i think it can become the best fps game for 2009...;)Rigga911
