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.

I tried the wii mote/nunchuck, but I just cannot get used to it enough to be comfortable.

And I only use c-stick for short hop attacks.

What?

This is such blashpemy. We're talkin about Brawl right?

It's also the jumping thing. That's the main thing. The C button/smashing up, no matter what, nothing seems to replace the x button on Cube. If not for that, I'd probably have transitioned.

I go into this weird state of mind where i ONLY concentrate on Brawl And Breathing. Lol. Maybe its because Wolf's main strategy for me is attack Low and sweep up.

Well Metroid Prime 3 had the Space Pirates that did not look like they were from the local Seafood restaurant. Okay the Berserker Knights And Lords look like giant Lobsters and Ridley got killed twice in that game but I think they hit the head on what pirate design they should go for

Apparently these developers make Ben 10 games or something cartoony like that? I have lost all hope for 3rd party games for the Wii.

Everyone I know uses X for jumping on the cube controller. I'm just about the only person I've ever known to use Y. My thumb can cover A and Y easily, so alternating requires nothing but a slight seesaw.

You tell me
IMO, they need to take the "aliens attack! humans strike back!" thing and run with it. Make it the mars attacks of video games.

I use the Y button for jumping, my X button gets dusty. Do you use R or L for shielding? I use R.

Anyway, The Conduit, uh...look at dem' dar aliens, I knew Mr.Pres screwed up when he declared war on dose guys!

ok, I am reading up a bunch, and I am finding some interesting stuff, hmm....


There hasn't been much word on who the publisher for The Conduit is. Rumor has it, Nintendo is actually going to publish the game. Can you comment on that? Can you announce one at this time?

Matt: I can neither confirm nor deny this, senator. ;) All I will say is that thanks to the explosion of interest in this title, we've had a lot of publishers knocking on our door.

Anyone thinking of Agent Ford in Super Smash Bros. 4?

Well if Nintendo is gonna publish this then Nintendo is gonna own High voltage. Ubisoft,EA and Activison publishers and they own the Developer's of their games. So if Nintendo Publishes it they got them selves another Game development studios. And knowing Nintendo they will delay their games just to make them perfect, like when Miyamoto scraped the whole development of MP1 and now we got this Awesome series that show that a 2d side scroller can become a FPAS or FPA. . Besides they're asking voice chat for Nintendo. If they give voice chat to a 3rd party developer first wouldn't that make Nintnedo look stupid? They may as well put it on one of their own games first. So i wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo does publishes it

We have been. Two off-topic posts really doesn't entitle you to come in and tell us to get back on topic.

Anyway, when do you guys think that they'll actually put content on the website? So far all we have is them wanting us to enter a t-shirt contest.

Actually Skyler, any off topic posts do entitle me to come in here and tell you guys to get your **** in order. Never mind the off topic posts, but the "actual discussion" that's going on in here is absolutely pathetic. "This game looks promising!" and "Yeah, hopefully it'll get 3rd party developers to take the Wii seriously!" being repeated over and over is not discussing the game.

We've already talked about everything that we know about the game. Until we get more information, this is all we can do.

To be honest it doesn't look that great, it's very run of the mil and as I said in another thread it's only when something mediocre like this comes to the Wii that people go "Oh my God! It looks awesome!" but when it comes out for the PS3, 360 or PC it's mediocre or just another FPS. I'm pretty sure in some parallel universe this game is a 360 or PS3 exclusive and all of our parallel versions of ourselves don't even think about it because it's so cliche and uninspired.

Also, this game reminds me of Area 51, a decent game, but it basically goes down this road, except that the character is a military person, the story takes place in Area 51 and you get infected [not innovative but it works so who cares?] but in the end you're still shooting aliens.

Meh. That's the big deal about it. They're trying to get THird parties to take the Wii seriously.

I hope they do it right. I'm not expecting it to be the best game ever, but it should at least be good. Like Area 51. Good, but nothing special.

Those aren't even the finished graphics, in an interview on IGN that came with the vid, they said they just started up a new textures thing, plus they have atleast 6 more months to polish everything to a high quality shine.
They said, now they will be mostly concentrating on making a high quality multiplayer experience, since campaign is mostly complete.

It looks a lot better than before, but it still isn't the best I've seen on other consoles.

The Anti-aliasing looks atrocious, as do the aliens and the bullets. The control and aiming looks really clunky, but I have a feeling you'll be able to tweak sensitivity. The clip really doesn't stand out at all to me as anything different from other FPSes. The lack of physics and destructible environments is also a step back in FPSes. The good thing is they are at least 6 months away from a release, so the only thing is the game will improve. I still can't get hyped up, though.
