what would be really great is that they added some thing like theater mode. So we can see all those crazy kills XD

 

[Johnthegalactic]

That would be nice! Just record the button presses like Brawl, but, then they could have it made so you can send that data to their website and have it converted to video, high expectations here!

Imagine the machinima people could make. Be awesome XD. And we wouldn't need to worry about the Wii space becuase you can save the replay data on their website like Youtube.

They released a few more screenshots for The Conduit on IGN, just four, but check them out if you want to.

This game looks so good! Makes me think of Unreal Tournament 3 when I see it. Nice to have a game like this coming to the Wii!

Go to interviews for some insight.
This may be a fan haoxing us, but I doubt it. Anyway, I like the insight.
Btw, the Drudge? It sounds like something I would have to clean out of a car engine or some kind of horror movie. Sludge, grudge, heh, heh, giggity?

Hmm looks nice. wouldn't be surprised if its a fake. WOULD be Surprised if it was real. But seeing as the manual is missing tthe SPAS-12(GOD THAT SHOTGUN ROCKS) It might be fake.

I don't think thats real. They're missing some Human weapons.

Well, it is just the basics, it doesn't explain the controls or anything, it probably is just something that will sit in a basket at gamestop to hype Wii owners up.

And, since it is on IGN it probably is official.

well okay then.

any one think that alien captive 5 is a Skimmer?

 

[Daisy-Fan]

This game looks great!

Is me or this game looks like perfect Dark and Half-life series?

 

[SkylerOcon]

I'm pleased with the new screens. The graphics are coming around nicely, and are starting to rival that of Halo's.

which halo? if you mean Halo 1 or 2 thats a insult. If you mean 3 then yea i would agree.

 

[SkylerOcon]

Halo 3 had the best graphics of them all...

I was talking specifically about one though, but it probably would stand up to Halo 3 if I were to give it an in-depth overview.

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

Halo 3 had the best graphics of them all...

Thus proving graphics do not make the game.

I hope this doesn't turn into another Halo, but the trailer in the first post looked interesting enough to capture my interests.

Maybe it won't turn into another Halo with rabid fanboys crowding bungie HQ lol.

 

[Hypa-Link]

Why are y'all dissing Halo? You can diss the campaign all you want but Halo's multiplayer is the Smash bros. of FPS's.

NOTHING comes close.

Anyways this game looks dope. & it's Indie so the developer is hungrier and also focused solely on the Wii's abilities.

It's not really indie... most gamers that are beyond the casual mark have heard of it. And yeah. Halo has killer multiplayer. It set the bar for console FPS games (but it's still over-rated).

 

[Hypa-Link]

Well anything that sells like Halo does has to be considered overrated. No matter how good it is.

besides Halo 2 has been played by me(Campaign included) more than any other game besides Smash.

i know lotsa people heard it but it's still indie since it was made independently before it even had a publisher(Does it even have a publisher yet?), so not only did they make it for the sole purpose of making a quality game(And not for money, publishers rushing for deadlines, and not giving full control), but they made it SPECIFICALLY for the wii with their own dev kits on there own.

Haven't heard of a game made independently like this in a while.

 

[Johnthegalactic]

Pretty great if you ask me, we need games that are centered more on quality and care, rather than squeezing something out and hoping it sells(cough medal of honor cough).

It seems they want to prove that HVS is better than what Lilo and Stitch or Family Guy the game might indicate.
And, there have been publishers trying to pull them aboard, they have been asked several times, they just want to give us an unadulterated game.

yea according to them they want to wait until the game is far ahead so NO publisher can **** it,**** it and throw it in to the shovelware bin. Then they will get a publisher. i also hope that Nintendo will allow them to have voice chat, as they are negotiating on it.

 

[Hypa-Link]

I thought the Wii was incapable of voice chat?

How can one game start doing it? lol

The Wii currently has no game that supports online voice chat, although Boogie can support a microphone, the software to support voice chat would come with the Conduit.

 

[Hypa-Link]

Ohhh, interesting.

Come to think of it, the microphone I use to rap with IS technically a 360/Wii Microphone. lol

if only my darn lan adapter/modem would connect. Then I could see what the interface and stuff looks like.

Well at E3 I would shout for joy if they released voice chat for future games

 

[Hypa-Link]

I would shout for joy if they annouced a Smash bros. Sequel. :D

Hey it's possible. E3 2005 when they announced Brawl, Sakurai heard the news the same time we did, and started developing a couple months after that.

But since we had to wait freakin 7 years after Melee, a SSB4 announcement 4 months after Brawl's release would seem godly. :D

Smash Bros DS?

Any ways nothing new for this game. lol

 

[Hypa-Link]

Screw Smash bros. DS.

Playing with a D-pad and no 2nd analog stick FTL.

 

[Darkslash]

WEll i'm gonna update the first page lol.

 

[SkylerOcon]

So we're looking at a first quarter 2009 release, eh? That's a shame because I was hoping that it would come out sometime near Christmas, but it's good that they're taking there time. Look what happened to Red Steel when Ubisoft got rushed.

 

[Hypa-Link]

They should start making a Red Steel 2(Don't plan on playing the first, lol)

 

[lumberheartwood]

Actually this game reminds me of Bloody Harvest on the Nintendo 64. If any of you have played it, the similarities are almost uncanny. The thing is that this seems to take that retro game and make it into a shooter and have made the insectoid aliens able to take on human form or parasite off civilians.

I'm still hyped for this game and if Nintendo is possibly the publisher, then we are all just counted on ourselves being ****ing lucky for next year aren't we. Woohoo, go Nintendo!!

Hopefully it won't have ****ty Online like Brawl.Hope it has real Online With Actual servers and stuff

You play with the C-stick? I'm so sorry.

I've taught myself to play with the Wiimote/Nunchuk, despite my love for the GCN controller. You know if a Smash Bros came out on DS, you'd buy it. We all would.

Only if at least half of the game was different from brawl though...

Oh, the Conduit looks like ****. I will never purchase that trash.

 

[SkylerOcon]

Why? Explain why you don't like it, please.

 

[Spire]

Why? Explain why you don't like it, please.

It just looks absolutely GENERIC. I watched the trailers, saw some pics, and it does not appeal to me in any way. I'm frankly tired of FPS's with alien-undead like beings. How many games do we get every year that fit that genre? Too many.

 

[Johnthegalactic]

Then don't buy it, it looks great, they are doing alot of stuff to make a great title for the Wii that no other console will get...they still will be working on it for another 6-9 months, that is plenty of time to make sure is a stellar title.
and I don't think those aliens are undead, cause when I saw them get shot they died.
