Hell, they seem to care more about "hardcore" gamers than Nintendo.TreyoftheDead
Nintendo doesn't cater to hardcore gamers, but at least they make good games (not talking about Wii Fit here). HVS just seems like they're making games specifically tailored to catch the hardcore Wii owner's eye, much like the shovelware that's aimed directly at casuals.

Dude there is nothing shovelware about this announcement... or the Conduit which is said to be easily the best fps and online experience on the Wii so far. Everyone has to start somewhere.

This must be the best HVS reveal, better even than The Conduit!!! Man, I'm so looking forward to this, it's not even funny.

And I wonder where all the Wii haters have gone to now?

Just... Awesome :D This is the kinda game Wii needs. HVS weren't kidding when they said they wanted to push Wii to breaking point. Guess the Conduit is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Quantum 3.

The people I don't really get are the ones that say they'll finally "dust" off their Wiis to play the Conduit or The Grinder. That's like saying online FPSs are the only genre you're after. 360 and PS3 both have many high quality shooter titles, why dust your Wii of for potentially much worse titles in the same genre?

The Wii's best games are rated E-T and should not be passed over because they are "kiddie". The Wii also offers some very different games

-Super Mario Galaxy (Platformer)

-Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Fighter with a twist. Only fighting franchise I know without a health bar)

-Punch-Out!! (Puzzle Fighter where single player is everything)

-Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (FPSA or First Person Shooter/Adventure)

-Mario Kart Wii (Racer)

-Zack & Wiki (Point and click puzzle game)

-Super Paper Mario (RPG PLatformer)

-Excitebots (racing game where finishing first doesn't always mean winning)

The Wii is strong because it offers different titles not more of the same. If Wii is your only console, it makes sense to want High Voltages games, but if you have one of the other two consoles you can already get what these guys are offering only they are probably stronger titles. High Voltage practically said it themselves: they are trying to give Wii owners the experience that the owners of the other consoles are having. They are a "me-too" company. So far they copied Halo and now Left for Dead. It remaiins to be seen whether or notthey succeed

[QUOTE="Maglovin"]Best graphics I've seen on the Wii. The Nintendo games like Galxy are beautiful but lack the technical prowess that this offers. Really does look....dare I say... quite next gen.psychobrew

I wouldn't go that far just yet. It does look impressive, but there are still a few Wii games that look better, like Spyborgs, Silent Hill Wii, Resident Evil: Dark Side Chronicles, Metroid Prime 3, and SMG.

Please tell me you're joking. MP3 is not an impressive looking game, SMG is decent, and the rest are ok.

All those games looks great.:| I am not saying The Grinder doesn't look bad. I think it looks impressive, and even looks better then the Conduit. But those games just look better, and I am not just talking about the artistic side, they all look great on the technical side too.

any just why is that? Other then the whole "it's a generic shooter" rubbish people spout off, The Conduit looks to make FPS games on the Wii fun and far better then anything to date (fps wise) on the console. The story is far better then you haters would like to even admit and more then likely the only reason you hate on it is simply because you don't even know just how deep the story goes.

HVS seems to understand far better then any 2nd or 3rd party developer just how to get the Wii to do what they want and not what they feel limited to. They seriously need to push the Q3 engine to other developers so the Wii can finally start seeing the kind of support it should've been getting over a year ago. It's the market share leader and still has the least appealing library to the hardcore gamer.

from the studio that brought you masterpieces such as "white men can't jump", "America's army", and other random mediocre ports, it's another game that will probably be not too great but wii fans will tout because they have nothing else to tout.

Looking good. HVS is quickly putting many, many other Wii 3rd party devs to shame. A good art direction goes a LONG way in making things begin to look decent.

You're going to first day purchase a game whose sum total of selling points at this momment in time is; It totally doesn't suck like the rest of FPS games on the Wii and it has zombies and werewolves? In this age where there are more FPS games than I can count, it is going to take more than middling graphics and zombies to get me hyped.

i really don't see the problem with expressing opinions, particularly in SW. while i personally don't think this game looks like a DS game at all, TheGreatOutdoor certainly is entitled to think so.

So they spent a long time making games based on licensed properties for other publishers (who, given the nature of a lot of those properties, probably rushed them) to help fund their own projects. I didn't think that was a secret.

That said, until June rolls around, it's still true that they haven't proven themselves yet.

Also: I see I wasn't the only person to think of the failures of Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop when compared to this.

You like the developer? You haven't even played The Conduit yet. A bit premature to say you like their games isn't it? That would be the closest thing to this game. Even if you enjoyed their random franchised crap from 2007-2008, it doesn't speak to the quality of this game.

Did somebody from "High Voltage" hurt a family member of yours? I am confused as to why you care what I want to play so badly. The best bet for you is to maybe leave this thread and not buy the game if it has you so upset.

I'm just trying to point out that this hype is incredibly premature over a game which doesn't have many selling points at this momment in time. Zombies and Werewolves in a time of mass FPS games isn't enough to hype.

Have to agree, The Conduit has definitly taken a backseat to The Grinder for me:P

I just kinda wish they had pushed The Conduit back a bit so they could implement some of the upgraded engine tech.. oh well, The Conduit 2 right?

Yeah I think The Coduit will sell between 500k to a million lifetime sales, so it will be worth it for them. Game has a ton of hype and mainstream appeal.

This is going to be good online though.Word is the Conduit online has no lag whatsoever so HVS should be even better poised for online by the time this hits.
