The Conduit aiming for early 2009 News
Wii News by Robert Purchese
High Voltage plans to release ambitious Wii game The Conduit in early 2009.
The shooter still has no publisher, mind you, but continues with similar bold claims to those made earlier in the year when we were told most Wii games "look like crap".
"Too many Wii owners have been told that the Wii is a casual platform with no room for serious games or top-tier graphics," said Eric Nofsinger, creative chief at High Voltage.
"With The Conduit, we intend to prove that theory wrong by providing gamers with the kind of title they imagined back when the platform was first announced."
As such, The Conduit will boast usual first-person shooter features such as fancy graphics and online multiplayer, as well as a control system designed specifically for the Wii.
The story will be mature and based around government conspiracies in the aftermath of an alien attack on Washington. You just have to find out the truth. If you can handle it, unlike Tom Cruise.
We hope High Voltage can put its money where its mouth is.
Keep an eye on the official website for more details.

Bold claims - especially looking at their past games. Good luck to them.

To be far to them, the tech demo video they released was very impressive:

It has very good graphics for a 3rd party Wii game, but it looks like generic FPS fare. And I don't think the gameplay will be outstanding either judging by their mediocre list of games and ports on the Wiki entry. Still, I think this might set off another company to create an innovative, original and immersive FPS with at least the same quality of graphics. Free Radical Design comes to mind, although their latest effort isn't a good example.

That's a nice graphics, lighting and physics engine they have there, although the lack of a publisher and the element of arrogance on display is a little disconcerting. Definitely a wait and see.

No, the 428 party game anthologies already out there do that just fine. A serious game, especially one with 'top-tier graphics', is far from what anyone with half a brain expects or has ever expected from the Wii. |
