The Conduit channeled into retail on June 23

my money for june is on Batman and the ghostbusters blu-ray. infamous gets my may money. i'd buy Madworld before the conduit (and i REALLY want Madworld so dont take that the wrong way folks.)

Without bloom or colorful shaders, i would've mistaken this for a game running on the quake 3 engine. Models look great, but the level structure is horrid. I hope it succeeds, but the market they're targeting with this game would likely have another console, where there's a multitude of better looking FPS's to choose from.

Spend the time making SPLIT SCREEN MULTIPLAYER !!!

I don't get WiiSpeak. How does it not get flooded with game audio? (particularly right on top of the television, as it's always shown.)

How does the incoming speech not get fed back to the mic?

I don't get it.

Unfortunate.

It looks like SEGA has decided to push out their hardcore trio (Overkill, Madworld, and now Conduit) without giving time to polish and work out flaws. HOTD and Madworld both too short (Conduit probably will be as well, although it has a chance of Multiplayer making up for it), HOTD and Conduit taking ambitious graphical effects while leaving dingy environment, all of them being very hyped but with no real followthrough after release.

I keep a list of games to buy, in an approximate order of how interested I am in them. MadWorld started out pretty high on my list. Then I started reading what some people were saying about it. It kept sounding more and more shallow, and lacking in replay value. And then I started to read about someone having it freeze. And someone else. And someone else. Eventually, it fell off my list entirely.

SEGA is releasing these games full of flaws (really, I don't know why I'm surprised anymore), and expecting us to buy them because they're 'hardcore'. As it is, I don't think I'll be paying more than $15 for Overkill or Madworld. Conduit is already on thin ice, and lately every single thing I see on it lowers my opinion of it. Maybe a 'gamer pack' of the three titles for $30-50, like the PS2 is doing with a lot of games, would be nice. Try all of them, and if I really like one of the three, it's no loss. There is absolutely no way I'm paying $50 for any of these games individually, and Conduit will have to be a lot better than it's looking in order to justify picking it up when it hits $30.

so much bashing on this game by so many haters makes you wonder "what are they trying to accomplish by doing it?"

Sometimes, i wonder why americans have this idea of "i won't be buying that thing!!!". Its not like they are forcing you to buy it. If you want it, buy it, if you don't, don't buy it. If you like it, ok, if you don't, there something else for you.

Its the same thing DLC. Its optional.

Myself, i'll be getting this one, i'll wait for Batman to go down to the used bin, its not like the GOTY for me. Besides, my wii gets more attention than my PS3, so it takes priority when its about new titles

So long as they use that time to guarantee server compatibility and get all that up to snuff, i don't really care.

As for the clash with Batman, this sort of thing has never proven to be a problem in the past. Remember the week of Mario Kart Wii and GTAIV? Neither ended up suffering.

If this game released in the Wii's first year, it would be a million seller and then some. Much like Kathleen Turner, time has not been kind.

In the beginning, people were so excited and seemed to snatch up games without even caring about what the hands-on or previews had to say. I can only speak for myself, but these days, the Wii-owning gamers are more skeptical and are sure to read up on every new anticipated title, making sure it's worth their time and money.

I'm pretty pumped for this game, but like I mentioned, I'm still a little hesitant and have been closely following this games development.

On a side note, I thought Mad World was a pretty cool, old school brawler and the controls worked perfectly. I wish more people would pick it up to support developers taking risks.

Have mercy

I think it might do better then people think it will perhaps not break records but make enough of a splash for Sega to be happy with it. I'm guessing that Sega isn't expecting much from the game and if it sells decently they will be happy. I for one will be picking it up for sure!

I'll still pick up this game though. Gotta help it

Well, you guys keep on bitching. I'll be busy playing this June 23.

This game would be great if I hadn't bought a 360 while waiting for a good Wii game to come out.

But now that I have something better than my Wii, I really don't have any reason to buy this game now.

Damn it, why do people keep putting Keanu Reeves in video games?

I think I'm seeing more comments by tmac in this topic than any other.

We get that you don't want the game! move on! lol!

C'mon joystiq I sent you this ages ago.

It seems like they've put all their effort into making the enemies all shiny and bump-mapped... and left the levels looking very barren and flat.

The levels kind of remind me of the original Deus Ex, or or Project: Snowblind on the xbox. I can't help but feel that more effort on the environmental textures would have paid off more than on the enemies.

I hope this sells well, and i'd like to play it. However it is becoming clear that the so called "hardcore" market on the wii is limited. It exists, but its not half as big as the market on the 360/PS3.

Still... it means you get to be a big fish in a small pond, rather than just another fish in a big one.

This game really shouldn't be getting this much press it isn't impressive or ground breaking in the least.

Awesome, the day before my birthday. I know what I'm asking for. Time to dust off the Wii. Haven't touched the damn ting since Christmas, playing Tales of Symphonia.

Gah, shut up you fools :P

The game isn't even out yet, all I'm concerned about is how long it will be until I get my hands upon it. After its been out for 6 months, then we can discuss sales in an angry aggressive fashion. :D

LOL at the screenshot.
Has anyone been far even as decided to use even go want to do more like?
