The Conduit

[Darkslash]

The puzzle part can go to hell, I generally hate puzzles, most designers just such them to break the pace in their games but it ends up being a chore and ruins replayability because when you want to replay the game you remember "oh no, I have to do that god forsaken puzzle again, and their goes the drive the replay the game.

So far the puzzle part is just MoHH2 puzzle level. just twisting your Wiimote around and thats it.Well at least this game has aliens and humans vs 1 guy in a tuxedo

 

[Johnthegalactic]

I hope it has great multiplayer, with a mesage system where you can make friends, send messages(typed messages), invite people to your match, customize match settings to a high degree., and maybe even customize some stages.

 

[ShaolinAce]

Looks like a great fps for the wii. I just don't care for the name.

 

[Johnthegalactic]

Maybe it will have a awesome reason for the name, like how Halo was named.
Halo does not even relate to blood, gore, cybernetically enhanced humans, and zombie like nervous system hackers.
the conduit does not describe blood, gore, lone wolf secret agent, aliens invading earth and awesome controls.

btw, we need someone to be employed by high votage studios, and send us info on the conduit, we want sneak peaks!

 

[motsalogeL]

"blood, cybernetically enhanced humans, and zombie like nervous system."

Funny how Halo has these things.

Also honestly this game looks bland and mediocre, the only reason people care about it is because ZOMG! Its a sc-fi FPS on the Wii!

I mean even the weapons and aliens look crap.

 

[Johnthegalactic]

whoops, by zombie like nervous system, I meant a parasite that takes over the victums nervous system to create a zombie like combatant.

 

[motsalogeL]

Um... that just sound even more like the flood. : P

 

[Johnthegalactic]

exactly, I was describing how the name halo totally doesn't sound like it is related to those major elements of the plot, let's just wait and see why they call it the conduit.

had to edit out elements, wrote it twice

 

[motsalogeL]

The conduit, well it will most probably be an intersteller stranportation device. But meh, the plot seems basic as well, alien zombies are nothing new at all.

 

[Johnthegalactic]

That is a good guess on the interstellar thing, he will probably end up drumming up support for his cause, and they will take "The Conduit" on a ride to the alien homeworld, and assault their leadership.
Thus, the main surviving leadership blames a certain race of alien for this and a civil war is ignited*cough* just like in Halo/Halo 2, except humans are less advanced technologically.

Exactly. I go with this guy.

 

[Red Exodus]

The environments looks kind of bland if you ask me, I hope that the stages aren't uninspired or that could ruin it for me.

Actually it is more likely going to be.

"Evil aliens have invaded Earth, our only hope is to find the conduit and use it to blow up the aliens home planet"

The story may be even more bland than the game itself.

 

[Johnthegalactic]

A conduit is a tunnel though, a pipe, or a tube that transports thing, not a weapon.
But Halo isn't defined as a weapn either, it is those things depicted above the head of saints, and it is a weapon of galactic destruction in Halo.
hmmm....

 

[motsalogeL]

The conduit takes them to the planet.

And they were called Halos because they were giant rings, and they hold religious significance to the Covenent.

Its just, from what I have seen so far this really does look rubish, and completely ununique, like most Wii games.

 

[Johnthegalactic]

It will probably be alot better than most FPS released for the Wii, except Prime of course.

 

[motsalogeL]

Meh. Prime was rubish compared to the first one anyway. It was only a Metroid game by title.

And honestly Red steel looks better than this.

 

[Johnthegalactic]

ok, well I hope this game turns out good, btw, we cannot really determine by looking at a few early development screenshots and one video.

 

[D.R.]

Looks like a mix of halo and half life. The main character looks like snake on drugs and it appears to me that they are using N64 graphics lol. Wii already disappointed me with Medal of Honar 2. Hope this game doesn't take 4 shots to the head to kill someone like in MOH2.

 

[Johnthegalactic]

Lol, the main character does look weird, he probably is on something like D.R. said.

Next level, find the drug dealer and buy six ounces of cocaine.
"Wait, shouldn't we be saving the world?"
"No, I want to get high."
"You suck."

 

[VaneWalker]

Actually it is more likely going to be.

"Evil aliens have invaded Earth, our only hope is to find the conduit and use it to blow up the aliens home planet"

The story may be even more bland than the game itself.

Actually its more like "you have nothing to go with on the game, except the fact that you play as an agent, you fight aliens in D.C and not even 2:00 of gameplay"

 

[VaneWalker]

And honestly Red steel looks better than this.

And what do you mean by looks?

 

[SkylerOcon]

And honestly Red steel looks better than this.

That's a low blow...

 

[Darkslash]

jeez you guys the trailer is the goddam alpha stage. It may look better by E3 '08. If it looks better i'll be happy.

 

[Johnthegalactic]

you mean, we cannot give the game a 5 out of 10 just because we thought the early development trailer has not shown the complete visuals the game may display.

 

[GreenKirby]

Duh, John :D

 

[Johnthegalactic]

http://wii.ign.com/articles/880/880900p1.html

Yeah, plus go to images near the top of the page for new screenshots.

 

[Darkslash]

holy crap the new screen shots look awesome. I mean the hand models are excellent. Best one's i seen in any wii game.

 

[Johnthegalactic]

Any there is still about half a year atleast that they will be working on it, it probably will be awesome, noting how much change there is in 2 months of development

 

[WTF!]

wohoo wi-fi deathmatch. I hope they do it pretty GOOD cuz the online deathmatch is mostly the reson people gonna buy The Conduit.


oooh, and it could even be posible that nintendo creates a microfone that attach to the Wiimote? (u gonna shoot someone that killed you before on the head and not say *uck you!?)

 

[Johnthegalactic]

Well, it couldn't attach the the Wii mote unless we sacrifice the nunchuck, although they could release a wireless headset.

 

[WTF!]

Well, it couldn't attach the the Wii mote unless we sacrifice the nunchuck, although they could release a wireless headset.

yeah then the wii's usb ports would have some use : D


can u imagine playing the conduit with Boogie's microfone LOLZ

 

[Johnthegalactic]

Whoops, so they can support a USB headset, a microphone would be akward since humans don't have three arms and the nunchuck is a must.
Hopefully they take these next six months to say, hey, we should let Conduit players communicate with each other.

 

[Chris Lionheart]

I like the idea of this game. Online Deathmatch that I don't have to pay subscription for ftw!

And if they made a USB Microphone that would be great. Just imagine the team coordination possibilities. *Drools*

Yeah the game does look very unoriginal (and the eye makes me think of National Treasure) but I could care less.

The insectoid aliens remind me a lot of Metroid (which was probably intentional) but what other aliens could they use. Halo already uses insect, reptile, and mammal based aliens. What could they use... bird based aliens? And please don't say fish based aliens. I cant stand the thought of being ambushed underwater by sea adapted enemies.

Honestly if its a good FPS with online capabilities on the Wii... I don't care if its Star Fox. I will probably play it.

 

[Darkslash]

Yea USB microphone ftw?

But what would be awesome is that you can customize your Guns. if that happens it would be sweet XD

 

[Chris Lionheart]

Yea USB microphone ftw?

But what would be awesome is that you can customize your Guns. if that happens it would be sweet XD

Lol Army of Two?

Armor customization would be even more sweet. Especially if you could use visual only cheat codes. Walking around in midevil platemail with your gun visually changed into a crossbow during a multiplayer match would be so epic.

 

[WTF!]

omfg the pay-to-play thing!!!! downloadable stages for online !!!!!1!one!!!!


and other thing u can imagine!!!! : D

Maybe this will be one of the first batch of Pay content from the Big N?

How about.. *drum roll* .. not aliens.

 

[Johnthegalactic]

How about.. *drum roll* .. not aliens.

um...*drum roll*..there are human enemies in the game*end drum roll*

did you even watch the trailer or just heard new game, aliens future and decided you know what it was about?
