In this (full) HDWarriors.com interview with Matt Corso and Josh VanVeld of High Voltage Software, many a glimpse is given into what to expect, and what the thought processes are so far in the early stages of development of The Grinder.
We sit down with Eric Nofsinger and talk The Conduit, The Grinder, and much more in this exclusive interview.
Had such high hopes for the game. It makes more sense now than ever, especially in the digital marketplace.
Normally, the end of the year is a slow time for game releases. Everyone who’s anyone has already launched during the holiday season, and the stragglers don’t seem to get much attention. Then again, all those folks that picked up new consoles for Christmas need something to play, so maybe there’s some cleverness in a last-week release.
Who knows? Either way, these games are coming out just before the clock rolls over to 2013.
oh type 0, maybe one day i'll be able to play you in english. <3 the demo was so awesome. maybe once SE is done with their obsession with lightning we might finally get you, if is psp or vita port idc, JUST COME OVAH HERE!
I also downloaded and played the demo and it was so good. So good that I wish I never bothered downloading it in the first place because now I know how much of a good thing I am missing.
I can't find any US release for any of these on amazon or gamestop...I assumed they were for US because they all had ESRB ratings except for the iOS games.
Type-0 is listed as canceled on gamefaqs as well, and was released in October in Japan. POssession and the Humans is also listed as canceled. Author game is cancelled in the US it looks like. The Grinder is cancelled for Wii, and TBA for 360. Unchained blades looks to be a digital title releasing on the 1/3...
Is The Grinder still headed to Nintendo Wii? If this survey is correct, the answer is "yes"
It was promised this year.
So yeah i think they will ( sega will )
Conduit 3 is basically confirmed for Project cafe i think.
Im not surprised if they do the same with The grinder ( which looks tons better!)
Hmm...sounds like they're trying to cross Left 4 Dead (which we all knew was an aim) with House of the Dead: Overkill. Could be interesting. Could be too derivative.
I'm willing to look past some of the generic stuff in Conduit because it's their first foray into the FPS field. But they're going to have to do more than a homage with Grinder.
look interesting
This might just be a system seller (like wii needs it) if they can just market it as well as they did the conduit and really beef up what they offered on the conduit. Hopefully they will know a bit more about what wii FPS gamers want now and make the conduit really kick butt. Perhaps the conduit will be their FPS competitive IP and the Grinder will represent their FPS Co-op IP.
Meanwhile I think HVS is really starting to prove themselves as a great 3rd party dev for Nintendo. Wii owners need a few killer apps and perhaps HVS can deliver at least a few megatons before wii goes HD.
Wii Speak is a must for the online or people who don't have or plan on buying Wii Speak, need not hop online...am I right?
