The Conduit: A True Next Generation Experience

ChickeyCantor6414d ago (Edited 6414d ago )

It does not matter, to the hardcore ...for some reason Wii-music overshadows this game(look at the those articles and the amount of comments compared to conduit articles)...it seems Wii-music is far more interesting than this game.

Funny is it not? while they bash Wii-music they totally ignore this game. It also explains why they cry that there are only games like Cooking Mama and the likes.

Game looks good anyway, even if they are 7 months old pics.
I'm buying this for the controls.
Can't wait for Redsteel 2 either, redsteel 1 was crappy but in fact for a launche title and the first to use the Wii-mote in such way i think they did an on the edge of "decent" job.

Hope this game will get my FPS groove back.

This title and Mad World are good reasons to own a Wii.

sidar it's so true it's scary. People only focus in on the stuff they hate so they don't have to like the good stuff on the Wii :(

I too am buying this game for the controls. I really like fps with the pointer works very well and plus I usually like when they have alien guns in games.

TheFreak6413d ago

The Conduit will never match the 360ps3 graphics, but it probably will set a new standard for wii games graphic wise (hopefully). I am sick and tired of devs making half assed games for the wii. Actually it seems like the wii is getting some decent games in the future like skate it, the conduit, madworld, fatal frame....... And if only MR. Miyamoto could get his thumb out of his ass and make a proper game again, the wii future will be brigth again for the hardcore gamer who bought the wii for nintendo games not for wii fit or wii music. Im sorry Miyamoto lots of respect for you, but come on wii fit and wii music is nothing what the hardcore gamer wants

ChickeyCantor6413d ago

TheFreak,
SO you think they are working on one title at a time?
Why do people think Nintendo is't making other games?

Punch out not a good sign?

TheFreak6413d ago (Edited 6413d ago )

No I dont think that they are working on one game at the time. They are currently working on a new super mario and a new zelda game. And this is fantastic. Only I think that nintendo are focusing waaaaay to much on the "casual gamer". They have released wii fit and wii music recent, but they have not released one game for the hardcore crowd in a long time as far as I know. And that real gamers will enjoy wii fit and wii music like Miyamoto said is such BS.

ChickeyCantor6413d ago (Edited 6413d ago )

The freak,
ever realised that maybe...maybe...Wii-fit doesn't need the development time of Zelda or Mario..Punch out....Metroid...F-zero????... .

If they are focussing to much on the casual crowd, then im just wondering how its even possible for them to bring out such batch of traditional games early in the Wiis life cycle.

"real gamers" ....so one that loves Wii-fit is a fake gamer?
Trust me there are "real" gamers out there who can appreciate that.
Don't push peole into corners because the words "real gamer" can come from anyone.

TheFreak6412d ago

oh come on sidar you know what I mean. Ok you can of course be a "real gamer" and like wii fit and wii music of course. Just saying that most ppl who are into gaming will not be into wii fit and wii music. Yes Nintendo put out great titles early in the wiis life cycle no doubt. But I am kinda tired og those games now I want new ones. Of course wii fit and wii music are taking up time from nintendos devs. If not wii fit and wii music where released nintendo had to release something else like maybe THOSE F-ING NINTENDO GAMES THAT WE LOVE!!!!!!!

I wonder how long the mods will let a comment that is obviously in the wrong zone last.. Had your comments been directed at the PS3 you would enojy a 10 day ban.. Lets see if they apply those same rules when its not the PS3 being trashed by people who clearly do not understand whats being said in the article.

To think that a Wii game being on par with the PS3 or Xbox 360 games is a laughable offense? Sorry, but even I feel a level of skepticism when it comes to these claims.

Shoko6413d ago

What a douche bag. Your so foolish and you don't realize it. You basically said that graphics determine if a game is a next gen experience or not. How wrong could you be? when it comes down to it, features and gameplay determine if a game is next gen. Graphics is only a small part of a whole gaming experience. It's all about the gameplay.

Fishy Fingers6414d ago

I'm actually quite excited to get this. Conduit and MadWorld are my future Wii purchases.

But lets be frank, it's not on par with the 360 or PS3 visually.

Captain_Sony6414d ago

Let me be honest. They arent saying that. What they are talking about are effects not over all graphics design.

SL1M DADDY6413d ago (Edited 6413d ago )

And sorry, but only a developer of a game would say that a Wii title is any bit comparable to the 360 or PS3 titles by way of effects. I have to say that the devs are saying that due to a bit of bias and personal agenda...

The game looks good for what it is but comparing it to the other HD consoles is setting it up for a larger level of failure.

TruthbeTold6413d ago

They've gone out of their way in the past to stress the point that the game can look no better than the resolution allows. What they're saying is that they are pretty much using the visual effects techniques used in an hd game on a game that maxes out in 480p. It looks very good as a result. Do you really feel so threatened by that that you have to try and belittle them?

SL1M DADDY6413d ago

I'm not belittling anybody, just skeptical of any developer making claims like this about a game that has had little shown on it. Yeah it might look like the best Wii game to come if you judge it by the currents shots they have released but the best looking Wii game is not saying much. Sorry if you think that translates to insecurities but as a consumer of the Wii, I have yet to be truly impressed by their lame offerings. Heck, even the slightly decent titles are far and few between.

Captain_Sony6413d ago

It is actually very simple to understand. Wii CANNOT do 1080p.. WE all know that yes? ok so stop trying to act like everyone is saying it will rival PS3/ 360 graphics. Nobody is saying that. What they are talking about are things like Bloom. Bump mapping, particle effects, things that you will find in PS3/360 games. BTW a lot of the Conuit has been shown. It's all over the web.. Even the entire first level is posted. You're skeptical because you lack knowledge of the game or the things being discussed about it. Do not blame the game for you being uninformed. Go to IGN.Com and check out the videos they have, then come back and talk about it. I think what bothers me the most is you admit to having little knowledge of the game but still want to talk about it like you do. I mean your posts arent coming off as a post made by a gamer but a post made by a hater. Highest rated game this gen is on the Wii but you act as if every game is mediocre at best. Only certain types of people make those kinds of false claims and since I am not defending Sony I cannot say that word without being banned.

shadowfox66414d ago

I feel they've done a great job here. finally a game developed for wii that does not portray the console like trash, they're using every cool function the system has.

This game deserves attention, I'm looking forward to it.

Nicolator6413d ago

would be intresting to see what this guys do with the wiimote.. and a fps.. but from the control.. on a vid ign.. it was quite good to be honest.. if they pull this off with the Wii.. it then gets me thinking what developersa will be able to do with the 360 and ps3 later in the generation, wen they would understand in very deep depth of how to programme for it... i am sure games in 2010+ would truely be OUT OF THE ROOF crazy...

Strife Lives6413d ago

but,the devs were smoking something when they mentioned looked like a 360 game. Other than that,it is how ALL wii games should look,afterall,the wii hardware can do this.With that said, is my mind playing tricks on me,or do these graphics look like a good ol AAA Gamecube game? Did we forget that the Gamecube was no slouch with graphics?

Captain_Sony6413d ago

There is a difference between saying it will have 360 graphics and saying it will rival 360 games on a tech level. Which is what the dev is saying. BTW this looks as good as G1 360 games like Perfect Dark. GO check out the tech demo where they explain some of the features in the game that are also in 360/PS3 games and you will start to understand what they are talking about.

ChickeyCantor6413d ago

...it baffles me that people keep misinterpreting the words of HVS.
Even they know they can never achieve the visual effects of those on 1080P.
They are talking about bump/gloss/emboss etc etc mapping.

>_> just all of you people STFU and SUPPORT this game...
Is it not that you guys are scared that Thnx to the Wii only casual games will be made?
Support this F*cker and see how developers will pick up the sign of there actually being a huge interest in traditional games on the Wii.

Support HVS NOA!!

Product6413d ago

Let them think whatever they want Captain no matter what you say even if its the truth will they ever believe you unfortunately.

vashivihang6413d ago

exactly.

they say that "oh noez, casual gamez take over on teh wii" when talking about wii music and when a hardcore game comes around, they are like "oh noez, teh graphics are teh NES lolololol"

double standards and misinterpretation FTL!!!!

TruthbeTold6413d ago

...people want to pretend that they've slipped out of their personal bias when they say things such as: "The Wii needs to make more hardcore games. Casual games threaten the future of hardcore." Which to some degree is true. However, those same people feel threatened by a game like The Conduit and feel the need to "put the Wii in its place" so that Wii owners can't feel any pride in their console.

What does that tell us? That many of those people aren't planning to buy this game, (which is extremely important to the future of core gaming due to the money, initiative, effort and heart being put into this by HVS). Which means that they are a part of the problem. People love to act as if they think No More Heroes and Zack and Wiki are great games, but they never actually bought them. The sales show it. It's just cool I guess to act like it.

It's time that people realize that not only is this an amazing game being developed, but Nintendo, and other developers, who have already paid close attention to the benefits and successes of cheaply made games, are also paying close attention to the fate of this game. Even if you don't own a Wii it's probably in your best interest to buy this game and give it to someone who does.

Exactly.

not just those games, it goes for PS3 and 360 games too.
They claim what kind of library they have, how awesome it is...but hardly any of those guys actually buys all those games.

I Really hope this game will sell, HVS deserves it.

Mahr6413d ago

"People love to act as if they think No More Heroes and Zack and Wiki are great games, but they never actually bought them. The sales show it."

In all fairness, No More Heroes only really flopped in Japan. In other regions, it sold well enough. Well, at least enough to warrant a sequel.

That said, you're spot on about Zack and Wiki (unfortunately).

Captain_Sony6413d ago

Zack and Wiki was doomed to failure from the start. It was as if the art design team and level design team were in totally different countries. Graphics for kids,game play for adults.. In fact one day in Gamestop they had an interview with some chick who worked on the game and she stated that it was intended for 5-7 year old kids. That kind of thing doesnt really leave many people with a good opinion of the game. Great game play though and not at all intended for 5 year old kids from what I remember. Unless kids are just way way smarter than they use to be.

that rather than hating, those who own both an HD console, and a Wii would see this game for what it is. I'm definitely going to buy more than one copy and share the fun. Since there's no split screen multiplayer, I'll actually be doing myself a favor.
