Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



Even though GDC 2009 is done and gone, we couldn't let The Conduit slip by. This first-person shooter is going to surprise a lot of people when it finally drops. We were able to talk with the guys at High Voltage about this Wii summer 2009 release, getting some new details on the story and the surprisingly good graphics of this title.

In the video you'll learn about the graphics engine that makes The Conduit shine. They say that they've pushed the Wii to the limit, and we believe that. You'll also get an in-depth look at the control and customization options in the game. They've left it up to the player to decide how the game controls -- very impressive. Finally, we get just a touch of the backstory of this FPS, set in the near future in Washington DC.

High Voltage was tight-lipped about the multiplayer aspect of The Conduit during this interview, though. We're glad to say that we'll be finding out more in how that will work in the very near future, so look out for that. From what we've seen, The Conduit is definitely a game that you'll want to play multiplayer.

Fan-freakin'-tastic. Even if it looks like the standard aliens-versus-humans setting, if they can pull off the control like it seems like they have and have a good campaign, I'm sold.

Okay, I didn't, but still. That's pretty awesome.

It's funny. If this was on any other console I would not care, but because it is on Wii I am super excited.

I'll second that goldeneye vibe. I wonder if, like Goldeneye, the control customisation will allow two pads [or wiimotes] to control a single character.

...no, probably not, that was total cock, rare.

Pretty good graphics for a Wii game. The controls of the game seems to be similar to that of a PC FPS game. Looks like the Wiimote turned out be useful for an fps game.

The customizable HUD looks great. The only thing it needs now is good multiplayer.

Looks fun! I hope for awards and medals like Golden Eye and PD in MP.

Just watched the video. It does look pretty good actually. I never got to play Metroid Prime 3 but I imagine a lot of it is similar, which is fine, I heard it was a good game.

I just laugh at the header picture of the poor guy, lol. He looks hilariously slack jawed.

All right, I'm sold. Day one purchase for me. The customization alone is impressive.

Yeah this game does look very nice, and the customization as Dexter said is very impressive. Everything Ive seen about this game lately has been impressive.

I would seriously consider buying this game--the customizable HUD, the (so far) gorgeous-looking graphics and the high degree of control customization is outstanding!

I hope all these features come together harmoniously to make the game hotter than wax on sack.
