Looks mediocre. Black on the PS2 and Chronicles of Riddick along with Doom 3 and Half-life 2 on the original Xbox looked better.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand why Wii fanboys find it ok for the industry to go backwards.Every Wii forum I've been on is hyping the **** out of this game as if its something revolutionary.
Nintendo fanboys don't consider anything revolutionary unless it happens on a Nintendo console.
I'm holding onto my Wii until Red Steel 2 comes out to see if it's any good. After that, I think I will sell it.

not wanting to sound like a graphics whore, but this looks like ass. they'll have to really nail the controls
Looks like another run-of-the-mill FPS games that have been seen lately... but nice to see something other than first party / mini games coming out on the Wii.
Looks nice. Can't say that the plot or storytelling will be great, but the graphics look very well polished (at least in the little box we see it in here)
I like the little round device being used to find hidden (masonic looking) symbols and such, likely using the remote to point it.
So it looks like High Voltage may have done with the Wii what SCE did with the PS2 in God of War. Might not have a lot that we can see that sets it apart from most FPSes (but you can say that about COD4 and HF2 really) but if they hjave actually put thought into utilising the Wii motion detection (and I imagine they must have to put so much effort into a new Wii engine rather than just make it for 360/PS3/PC)
Of course, if they decide to make their engine middleware, this could be a goldmine for them, and get some more 'mature' and 'serious' content out on the console.
Games like No More Heroes are the reason I got a Wii, but this looks like it won't hurt a bit, and along with the Plantinum Games titles, could signal the start of the Wii really being the console I always wanted it to be.

They look like they have some decent ideas, but I'm scared of them being swallowed up by what is otherwise looking like a fairly uninspired FPS. One to be cautious about I feel.

Generic and dull? Did you see the weapons? That shit was HAWT.
They always said the Wii was more pwerful than the OG Xbox. "About damn time" someone proved it.

Graphics aren't at the top of my priority list for must have in a game, so I think it looks pretty cool. I'm a bit burned out an single player FPS's though, so I hope it does something new and interesting besides just using the controls well.
Also it kinda reminded me of MDK for some reason, does anyone remember that game? Of course that game was funny and awesome.

They're apparently going with controls very similar to Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, which is a great thing.
This looks pretty fun to me. I don't know if it'll show decent sales but why not publish it? After all the other crap that gets published out there why not this?
And yes, Friend Codes need to be abadoned or something for this to work as a Online game.

How can anybody be excited seeing this ?
At least , i can't see a person with a pc or a "next gen" console buying this .... it's for wii only users, they have no choice....
btw , im lmao seeing the enemy animations...they have convulsions or something, they should go to see the space doctor instead of fighting against an armed guy...

@ MR BAS It does kinda have a Half-Life feel to it, huh? The all seeing eye reminded me of those antlion pods.
Looks decent, I'll probably end up picking it up. Doesn't look like anything major, the guns remind me too much of Prey (I hated Prey).
Reminded me a bit of the original Perfect Dark for the N64, which I liked in spite of my friends thinking it was total balls.
@Surf314
Completely forgotten about MDK, but can't say this reminds me too much of it. Apart from the exotic and over the top weaponry it doesn't seem to share MDK's offbeat sense of humour. I'd love to be proven wrong, however.
As with any Wii game, the graphics will swing between complete shit and serviceable, so they *really* need to nail the controls if they hope to make this one a winner. Thankfully there have already been some very successful implementations of the Wiimote in FPSs, so they only have to copy that and don't mess with it too much.

It looks like a run-of-the-mill FPS, but for some reason I like it.
If it can nail the atmosphere it's going for, and has online co-op, I'll definitely get it.

Wait wait wait. Aren't these the guys that were showing off a tech demo of their Wii engine that gave it a basic level of lighting and shader effects youl'd see on the better XB1 games and lower end 360 games?
Nice to see they're doing something with it, sounds a LOT like a serious Men in Black.

Ok, this isn't a joke, I literally thought this was a mockery or a parody of an FPS. I mean listen to the crap their saying. Then I looked down and noticed Wii. EXPLAINS ALL!
Wow, that actually looks pretty cool. High Voltage has been announcing some promising titles, unlike numerous other 3rd party Wii companies.
Considering its on Wii, without judging it by the standards of other shooters (its a bit early for that), I think it looks pretty good and if I manage to get hold of a Wii (still more elusive than Lord Byron), I'd pick it up.
I think High Voltage Games deserve a big applause, as they have created the kind of game many normal gamers want on Wii. With so many publishers/developers clinging to casual quick fix games on Wii, its a real shame its taken this long to see a game like this, to join the good ranks of NMH etc.
The Conduit just proves again the ability of smaller developers out there, being able to produce something cool for Wii, when the big established boys don't have a clue or are too chicken shit to take a risk. It doesn't have to be a work of complete genius, just be good fun to plug the available gap of Wii gamers.
So what! Its not the hot shit tech like Crysis etc (for what we can judge so far). We've given the big boys plenty of time, and many of them have failed Wii owners miserably (even the likes of Valve, as we all know Wii could handle Half Life 1-2/Portal).
Danger! Danger! High Voltage, indeed! Kudos to you.

Looks better than I expected it would on the Wii.
Though I think it's WAY too early to even insinuate that this game will be decent enough to merit a Wii purchase.
I mean, honestly, FPSs are a dime a dozen. Just about all of them look decent in trailers but how many of them end up ACTUALLY being good? 1 in 10?
Stop using this as a reason to validate your Wii purchase until you have half an iota of evidence (a trailer isn't even close to proof) that it will be decent.
Oh, and 'decentness' aside. The game would have to be freakin' mindblowingly awesome to make a hardcore FPS fan cave and finally buy a Wii. If you don't have one by now, I sincerely doubt this game is going to change your mind.
Sorry if I sound annoyed but this "OMG WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE Wii NOW?!!" crap springs up for EVERY newly announced Wii game. The only one of them that I can think of that came anywhere near hitting the hype is No More Heroes and it only got an 83% on gamerankings. Hardly seems like a system seller to me.

@Cowboy TTop
Why shouldn't we judge it by the standards of other recent FPSs like Bioshock, Crysis, Call of Duty 4, et cetera? does the Wii exist in a vaccum.
Are Wii FPSs so groundbreaking and original that they can't be compared to other FPSs?
Why shouldn't I expect Wii FPSs in 2008/2009 than look better than Riddick on Xbox 1, or Black on the PS2?
Should we Wii owners pretend that the other consoles and PC don't exist and that Half-Life 2 and other FPSs never came about?
Living in a bubble won't help the Wii get better games. You have to start demanding better. you're helping no one but Nintendo be cheapskates in game and console development.

Someone just confirmed Deathmatch.....
Other wise, it looks like the serious version of Men In Black. Considering I liked Men In Black, this looks nice.

Looks interesting even though it does appear to be a straight forward FPS but at least some of the weapons are cool. I'm glad to see other third-party developers trying to make good quality original games on the Wii as it is about freaking time. It's obvious that the platform is ideal for the FPS genre due to the controls especially if developers use similar control schemes like those from Metroid Prime 3 and Medal of Honor Heroes 2. High Voltage Software, please don't let us down.
The KRISS is in it?! Awesome! I saw an MP5Ka? in there too! Along with the standard USP .45.
I'm pleased that this game has licensed weaponry. Will keep an eye on.

It's like Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, Half-Life, Men In Black, & The Matrix all rolled up into one. The game does seem more of a throw back to the original Perfect Dark, so I guess that's why I'm a little interested.
I wish it was something other than the run of the mill FPS. But on the good side, it's nice to see the Wii get some meat around its library of games.
No one knows how good this game will be, or if it'll be the next Red Steel. However, I'm getting some serious vibes of Perfect Dark and Half-Life 2--two of my favorite FPSs ever--so I'm excited.
And lol at the graphics whores who think the Wii is setting video games back, when all they care about is simple eye candy.

No, Wii doesn't exist in a vacuum, but it might aswell do so judging some of the negativity in here (. When I say not to judge it, I mean in the sense that we have little information but this video to go on. Unless you have half a brain, you'd be stupid to judge The Conduit on just this video alone vs full FPS games out to buy. Like any game it deserves to be judged on its merits first, once we really find out what they are.
Don't know about you, but so far I like what I see (agree or disagree, up to you). Sure, I've played countless FPS games on my PC and 360, but not on Wii. Again, Wii needs these type of games, and I'd feel no shame in buying this game, along with other Wii games I want. In order to get more games like this on Wii, the likes of High Voltage will need support, which if the game is sweet enough I'd have no problem giving.
Just because we've seen similar games before, doesn't make this game bad. Do you remember Blacksite Area 51? Great graphics etc, shame about the game. And Turning Point? Ditto for that too. How many of you purchase them thinking they were the hot shit?
On top of that, for a game to be good, it doesn't have to a Bioshock or score some reviewers 90+ score. Many games score less and are still fun. Reviews are but a guide to help us, not the end all be all. While I pay attention to them, I ultimate buy a game on whether I want it enough. I'd still feel and do the same on any other game I want, regardless of format (all of which I look to own).
Seems Wii can't win with some of you, whatever it gets. Too many casual games I agree it gets, then a game that kicks some worth it ass comes along, and some of you still moan. No pleasing some I guess. Wii is by no means perfect and has its flaws, but still deserves normal good games.
Remember, for something to be fun, it doesn't have to break new ground all the time (while we'd prefer that), and yes, even on Wii. The Conduit might not seem like that, but again its early too rule on that. I'll be watching this, like I will any good looking game.

@ COWBOY TTOP FTW.
The Wii gets played when we have company over, Nintendo has always kicked arse at multi player games that aren't online.

Before you bash the Wii, remember: after SNES all Nintendo platforms have been quality over quantity. Yes, the Wii is full of crap, but for every ten Ninjabread Men, we get one No More Heroes or Metroid Prime 3. But I wish Nintendo would get with it and release the Super Mario Galaxy engine for Wii developers.
the music is nice.
also, so this is what happens when valve watches clips from half-life 2 while making half life 1 then renaming there company in the past? ...yeah that made sense. :D
