The whole thing reaks(sp?) of deriative. I'll pass.

Not really interested in this one sad to say. A little too much like every other space FPS i've ever played.

@ SovietMudkipz

Close. It's two "e"s.

This game reminds me of Perfect Dark for the N64 (in a good way. I'm looking forward to seeing more about it.

@bobyoko, Aphex Twin rocks!

it looks to me like this is going for a proof-of-concept sort of title (i.e., a half-decent wii FPS is possible) rather than GOTY. maybe if it's successful, someone will come along and try to make a AAA FPS.

Halo is an overrated, generic run-of0-the mill FPS in terms of its gameplay, level design, story and art direction too yet it was a pretty fun game and remains the most popular FPS on the both the original Xbox as well the 360.

The Conduit may be end up meeting a similar fate in terms of suffering from a similar "Halo" generic game design (I particularly dislike The Conduit's generic main character design which looks like it came from an art college tv commercial), but I'd be pretty happy enough if the controls meet or surpass expectations and the gameplay and level design is more clever and polished than Red Steel.Plus, it doesn't hurt that the game seems to be one of the more impressive looking third-party games on the platform.Hopefully, the music and story will offer some pleasant surprises as well.

Hiltz has the idea here.

"If this were on anything but the Wii, no one would care and the only thing anyone would be talking about is how generic and flat it looks."

1. It's being made for the Wii because they are barely any games like it there. HVS said this was their intention months ago.

2. It's using an effects based engine, and the large textures are just being added in now.

Hmm... the indoor areas remind me of early Hitman. Perhaps just trying to capitalize on the fact there's no "hardcore" FPS on the Wii?

Could prove that the Wii has some muscle under it's hood. It may not be the "be all, end all" of Wii Titles, but I'll be looking forward to this game.

Isn't this just a little bit generic?

I'm with Cube on this... to me, 2-stick FPS blows monkey chunks. Medal of Honor on the Wii is good, just for the controls. And that is what I am looking forward to in this title, the next step in controls.

Hopefully a fixing of online play with friends as well. EA Nation for MOH is good, but I need voice. They had mention Wii Speak, so we will see.

I'll never quite understand how every other console can have "generic space shooter XXXX" and get hailed as a great game, but a Nintendo goes to get one, and the comments become "Oh no, its just a generic space shooter. That's just too bland." From all that I can see of The Conduit so far, it appears to be a top-notch game: pressing Wii hardware on graphics capabilities, 16 player online matches, voice during online matches using Wii Speak, tight and adjustable control mechanics, and a fully customizable UI. I'm very excited about The Conduit as a Wii owner. My major concern, though, is going to be online. Sega HAS to set up a system like the EA Nation for this game. MOH:H2 had great online (without voice, of course) BECAUSE of the EA Nation: no friend codes, usernames, friend lists, leaderboards, etc. If Sega doesn't push these same boundaries with The Conduit online (and voice chat WITHOUT friend codes during online matches), then it will severely cramp what High Voltage is going for with the whole concept of this game. Although, with how picky and selective HV has been in selecting a publisher, I'm hoping they stressed this with Sega before going with them.

Can't wait to see this when its out.
Its gonna be great, even if it is very generic and boring looking it'll atleast look good, be esay to pick up and start playing, plus be atleast somewhat fun.
Thats the worst case scenario in my view.
