The makers of "The Conduit" believe that a viable hardcore Wii market exists. And even though they claim it's "a gamer's game," they think their first-person shooter will hook the casual crowd, too.
There’s a consensus about Splatoon 1 that cannot be disputed: motion controls are the way to play. The Wii U Gamepad had its many problems on the system as a whole, but along with the way in which the touch screen was implemented in the first game like I mentioned in my last piece, using the Gamepad’s gyroscope was deemed a superior way to play compared to traditional joystick control.
Rustyshell.com: The Conduit strived to be the quality FPS experience Wii owners were missing out on, with quality graphics and a robust online multiplayer component.
Hardcore Gamer: The Conduit was an interesting first-person shooter that sneaked its way onto the Wii amid a deluge of shovelware and "family" games.
Of course, but with Nintendo leading the hardcore charge in 2007 with Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, etc. and 2008 showing that the Wii is not slowing down, it takes brave developers like HVS to continue the charge, that and Sega wanting to make the Wii the hardcore console they know it can be (since they are publishing The Conduit, Madworld, a hopefully better Sonic game than unleashed, and House of the Dead). Fortunately they weren't the first developers to realize this which is why we're getting plenty of exclusive titles such as Tenchu, Fatal Frame, Monster Hunter, etc.
It should because the controls seem really easy, pointing to shoot, one analog to move, flick nunchuk to reload, A button to change weapons.
The online will be a huge factor.The Wii needs The Conduit to be successful so that other 3rd party developers pay attention.
“Initially, we think it was because publishers and developers didn’t really consider the Wii to be a ‘next-gen’ platform."
And that some how means Wii isnt next gen at all.... Fanboys and their ignorance...Topic should be deleted and reposted with the correct responses not what the fanboy posting it wants to lead others into thinking was said.
initially A would be better to zoom in or look down the sight of your gun but it could be used as to change gun if thats what the gamer prefers and i agree with everything else you said there should be alot more fps' like this it just makes sence with the wii remote
