High Voltage is making a real First Person shooter for the Wii that is going to be entirely
new. I think this might be a start of something really good and probably much needed. This
game looks to be putting some work for graphics whores. According to the article the
controls are supposed to mimc that of Metroid prime 3 and MOH2.

This game gives me a little bit more faith that devs know the hardcore crowd is wanting
more then Nintendo products. Even though i am not a fan of shooters this one might be
different..

Copy and Olive Garden below:

It's called The Conduit and it takes place during present day. Washington D.C. finds itself
the epicenter of an extraterrestrial attack and it's up to gamers, as the secret service's
Agent Ford, to discover the truth hidden behind the invasion. To do that, he'll need a variety
of guns and the skills to use them. High Voltage calls The Conduit a straightforward first-
person shooter in the style of Halo, Medal of Honor Heroes 2 or Resistance: Fall of Man –
basically, fast, run-and-gun battles and stylized weapons. The Conduit also features
advanced enemy artificial intelligence enabling "human-like behavior" and a special device
called the All Seeing Eye (or ASE), which, according to the studio, allows players to "reveal
concealed objects and enemies, providing a deeper level of puzzle-solving."

I watched a tech video of the engine used in this game. It's so awesome. I'm definitley hyped.
BlackSheep's Destructoid Blog
preview your BBCode before you post.

Isn't this just a tech demo right now, and they need people to make this game happen? Or did I not read that right
Johnny Blaze's Destructoid Blog
The game is happening Black sheep... The tech demo with all the water and crap was just showing how good the graphics looked..

THe pics at the bottom is the real game..
BS3 Owner's Destructoid Blog
I think I'll get this. Looks Promising.
BlindsideDork's Destructoid Blog
I like it despite its "mix between Turok 2 and Armorines" look.
BlackSheep's Destructoid Blog
"The game uses an advanced 3D engine to make the most of the Wii's hardware, however the game is badly in need of a publisher if it is ever to get past the demo stage."

So I assumed it was all tech-demo, and not a game yet. Hey don't get me wrong I'm excited for it (minus online play...)
BlindsideDork's Destructoid Blog
BlackSheep..it is a demo.

THIS is their tech demo.
Holyetheline's Destructoid Blog
This looks excellent. I hope they can make it happen!
Johnny Blaze's Destructoid Blog
Yea the whole minus Online play sucks ass. I hope NIntendo address these issues soon with online, because they are not only making it look bad on them , but a pain in the ass for some developers that want to make a good online experience..
BlindsideDork's Destructoid Blog
Wii has FPS online play...just no chat or easy to use navigation, so I hear.
Johnny Blaze's Destructoid Blog
I also hear that make you to pay to play online also..
razerangel's Destructoid Blog
Hmmm might be interesting.
GuitarAtomik's Destructoid Blog
Graphics look pretty good. Could be interesting.
king3vbo's Destructoid Blog
Metroid Prime stands out as a good FPS, so they at least have to top that
Rockvillian's Destructoid Blog
LOOKS good. Generic as F though, compared to Corruption. Guess we'll have to wait and see on this one!
Bluefusion's Destructoid Blog
From the article about the tech demo:

"'We think it's a real shame that publishers and developers aren't taking advantage of the technical possibilities of the Wii platform. Most Wii games don't even look as good as the later day PS2 titles and that's a real slap in the face to consumers,' seconds Kerry Ganofsky, CEO and founder, High Voltage Software."

""Nofsinger takes it a step farther. 'Most of the games on the Wii look like crap. We want to change that, so we've invested heavily in our Wii tech over the past year.'"

LOL. I love these guys already.
Mxyzptlk's Destructoid Blog
Copying the controls from Metroid Prime 3 and Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 is definitely a good thing. Hope we get some multiplayer with this, MOH:H2 shows it's completely possible on the Wii. Normally I don't get into FPS games much (especially online), but the Wiimote/Nunchuk configuration is total win when done right.

 about me



Hey what's good Robots... I really don't have a Fanboy class. I am too old for that bullshit to have a favorite console... Cough Nintendo Cough.. Anyway I don't own a motherfucking thing beside debt. The only thing i own that is remotely cool is my Wii and my car.. I am a broke ass college student that is finally graduating this year. I am going for News reporting.. I would like to be a host on a cool Gaming Network.. So if Mr. Niero or Mr.Ron "I fuck Sheep while Drinking Paps Blue Ribbon" Workman want to venture out to televison give me a call.. I am black so I know you guys can dig free labor...

I am really diggin the 360 alot more... So I might have to do some nude modeling for art students to get one...

I don't know how hardcore I am when it comes to gaming. I have a terrible habit of playing a game and not beating it all the way.. I just beat Metroid Prime last year and I bought it two years back..

But recently with the Wii. I been beaten games like I do my Meat.. Good shit huh!! The games I own on the Wii are Red Steel, Zelda TP, Harry Potter OOTP, ..

IIght Robots i am out...
