High Voltage Announcement Soon

BeefJack writes: "High Voltage the guys behind The Grinder and Gladiator A.D have been oddly quiet since E3, but it seems that's all about to change as one employee has teased at a possible announcement happening soon.

What this means is anyone's guess, a new game? Something to do with an existing one like The Grinder? Who knows, either way it's got quiet a few people interested."

These guys seem to be quite talented. I hope they don't announce a Wii exclusive game... or are they owned by Nintendo?

mrwiggles5278d ago

Your Right.

The world doesn't need more Wii Waggle.

Cyrus3655278d ago

They aren't owned by nintendo, they are small dev though, they couldn't possibly make a big time game for PS3/360, maybe a PSN/XBLA title though.

YLOD Service Tech5278d ago (Edited 5278d ago )

IMO... They need to give up making exclusive games for the Wii. Go multiplat on the HD consoles so they can have a fanbase that would actually appreciate and buy their games.

n4gn4gn4gn4g5278d ago

they've made a boatload of licensed shovel ware and ports over the years.

no way man they've been making garbage for years white men can't jump,go diego go,leisure suit larry magna cum laude,charlie and the chocolate factory.
but at least they redeemed themselves with the conduit

Smacktard5278d ago

Know what's funny? How all the HD fanboys are begging for HVS to go multiplat. Know why it's funny? Because High Voltage is a bad developer and it just goes to show that HD fanboys will put up with any crappy game as long as it's pretty and OMG MATURE!!!1

What surprises me is how High Voltage were so close to making a good game with The Conduit, but were yet so far.

Nambassa5278d ago (Edited 5278d ago )

Ah, well i didn't know about the earlier stuff. I've only played the Conduit and i thought it was rather enjoyable. Hopefully they expand their team with great developers and make a multiplat title.

hatchimatchi5278d ago

i enjoy HD gaming and god knows i couldn't careless about HVS making games for my ps3. The conduit is a flaming piece of garbage.

These guys are really keen to see if there is a hardcore audience on the wii, or if not to try to grow such audience.

SpoonyRedMage5278d ago

It's got more to do with the fact that they can actually afford Wii development, they're only a small company.

They really did try with The Conduit though, perfecting some parts(controls, graphics technology) and failing at others(art style, writing).

I'm looking forward to The Grinder though.

n4gn4gn4gn4g5278d ago

making announcements of announcements.

Hurrah!

EvilTwin5278d ago

Conduit 2, I'd guess.

[spoilers]

The ending of the first game pretty much guarantees a sequel, IMO. And TCon was their first time trying to establish their own IP, so they probably want to fix the problems that the first game had. MWR's online crushes HVS's effort, so I could see them trying to respond.

Had such high hopes for the game. It makes more sense now than ever, especially in the digital marketplace.

ptownjbo4036d ago

I wish they didn't make Conduit 2 with such a dumb story line.

DeejayKnight4036d ago

I'm looking forward to this one quite a bit more now. Great interview! :D

On Shelves This Week: December 20,2012 - January 5, 2012

Normally, the end of the year is a slow time for game releases. Everyone who’s anyone has already launched during the holiday season, and the stragglers don’t seem to get much attention. Then again, all those folks that picked up new consoles for Christmas need something to play, so maybe there’s some cleverness in a last-week release.

Who knows? Either way, these games are coming out just before the clock rolls over to 2013.

8bitHero4140d ago

oh type 0, maybe one day i'll be able to play you in english. <3 the demo was so awesome. maybe once SE is done with their obsession with lightning we might finally get you, if is psp or vita port idc, JUST COME OVAH HERE!

Kurisu4140d ago

I also downloaded and played the demo and it was so good. So good that I wish I never bothered downloading it in the first place because now I know how much of a good thing I am missing.

FinaLXiii4140d ago (Edited 4140d ago )

FF-type 0 is a must have for me.

Hicken4140d ago

WHERE is this stuff supposed to be coming out?

rainslacker4140d ago (Edited 4140d ago )

I can't find any US release for any of these on amazon or gamestop...I assumed they were for US because they all had ESRB ratings except for the iOS games.

Type-0 is listed as canceled on gamefaqs as well, and was released in October in Japan. POssession and the Humans is also listed as canceled. Author game is cancelled in the US it looks like. The Grinder is cancelled for Wii, and TBA for 360. Unchained blades looks to be a digital title releasing on the 1/3...

The Grinder still headed to Wii

Is The Grinder still headed to Nintendo Wii? If this survey is correct, the answer is "yes"

I bet it gets remade for project cafe.

Shok4736d ago

Would love Nintendo to show an updated trailer of it at their E3 conference.

ChickeyCantor4735d ago

It was promised this year.
So yeah i think they will ( sega will )

Conduit 3 is basically confirmed for Project cafe i think.
Im not surprised if they do the same with The grinder ( which looks tons better!)
