It's been a while since we've seen anything out of High Voltage's little-shooter-that-could, The Conduit -- a problem that was expediently rectified on last night's episode of GameTrailers TV. In addition to the revelation that the game won't support Wii MotionPlus but will allow users to chat via Wii Speak, the latest trailer for the shooter, titled "Conspiracy," was aired.
In addition to showing a sizable chunk of gameplay, the trailer (which we've posted after the jump) gives further hints regarding the game's plot. Here's what we've pieced together: There's a conspiracy (Aliens? Illuminati? Grassy Knoll?), which appears to be causing protagonist Michael Ford to have a very bad day. Don your tinfoil hat, crank up the Alex Jones, and check out the trailer after the break.
if MS gets Halo and Sony gets Killzone then the Conduit should def be Ninitendo's si-fi shooter. Finally the Wii controls aren't so "gimmiky" like lot of people always say, this game knows how to make the best of it
I've played the Gamecube one. It's just a whole lot of moving random items from one lazy-ass villager to another, and collecting fossils, bugs and fish.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, first day purchase. The only other first day purchases I've made in a while have been house of the dead, and it will be MadWorld in a week or so, along with this when it graces the UK.
For most folks, the Wii sits near the TV. The length of the cord isn't too long, so the speaker is stuck next to your TV. That means your sound is going to come through like crazy (unless you want to play with little-to-no sound), causing echoes and overall poor performance. At least, that's the case for me.
I don't know about you, but I like being able to talk to the people I'm playing against. If I can't, I feel like I might as well be playing against the AI.
Especially if you play against your friends. Smash Bros. Brawl online multiplayer was really quickly ruined for me because I couldn't talk to my friends when I played online.
The Wii isn't a bad system, but it has terrible support. The Conduit and Madworld show that games can look pretty good on the system, but only NOW are we really getting any of that. And only recently is limited voice support given any more than a "Only child rapists and jrude erkwads use voice chat" attitude.
The only people you can talk to online are the ones who are your friends, so it's your own fault if your friends are a bunch of losers, or you don't have any friends so you had to go exchange your code online to find some "friends."
It's a shame he hasn't been banned for spamming yet. What's odd is that this dbags 1st post did not include the link, instead it was simply "2mins 32secs" Weird.
This is a hard game for me to judge. Do I compare it to the plethora of other FPS on the PS3 & 360 or do I compare it to the other handful of FPSs on the Wii? It's going to without a doubt fall extremely short if compared to Far Cry 2, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Orange Box, COD MW & WAW, Bioshock and some of the other great FPS titles on the PS360. It's one of those things where it will probably be successful because it's going to be one of the first competitive FPSs on the Wii. Is it fair to hold it to a different standard than every other game in the same genre because it's on a different system? I'm just not sure at this point because I have seen creatvitity on the Wii not on other platforms (Madworld & Galaxy) as well as craptastic ports (COD WAW & Bros In Arms). I'm interested to see how it will be recieved and reviewed by gamers and journalist alike. Being a multiconsole owner I can get better FPS experiences elsewhere so I don't know that I should be excited just because it's on the Wii. If this were a PS3 or 360 exclusive everyone would call it another generic FPS. However, because it's on the Wii it seems to have gotten a free pass up to this point.
I won't buy it on day 1 like I more than likely will do for Madworld but I am not going to write it off yet either. I'll just have to wait and see how good it is but it's going to be hard to not compare it to other games that will seemingly have better graphics, controls, AI and multiplayer. The one thing that can set this game apart IMO is an incredible story. I hope it if it is a good title that it does sell well so we can get more muletiplayer games on the Wii which is certainly one of the things it severly lacks.
