The Conduit Does In Fact Have Multiplayer

It looks like it might be an ok FPS for the Wii.

looks like goldeneye... hopefully this will spawn a bunch of new n64 style shooters... High Voltage is the new Rare!

yes, finally wii you have something i can deal with :p

So it does have online play? I might give this game a shot after all.

The graphics are still not up to Wii standards, but the multiplayer seems decent.

@BiggerBomb: What do Nintendo servers have to do with it?

Oh!  It's a Wii game!  i was wondering why it looked so bad.

Personally Im not that impressed by this. I think Metroid Prime 3 delivers more than this. Yes, this has some nice effects, but overall though, there are a lot of not so impressing textures, too sharp edges, and missing shadows/too light objects. Last one is kinda hard to explain, but its like if some walls light up too much compared to others.

And lets not forget how boring the levels look artistically, together with the blue menu.  Generic is the keyword. Not saying that the controls, gameplay, multiplayer, and lightning effects doesn't look okay though.

Edit: what Al3xand3r said

I say....Epic Faill...the Wii is not a shooter console...

"Remember when people were excited about the online features for Smash Bros. Brawl? Yeah... THAT worked well.The online component of this game is likely to be just as bad (if not worse) because of the latency requirements for online FPS multiplayer."

im proud of the wiiners for finally getting their first halo.

Maybe the development team on Quake Live will be able to get it to run on the WII browser...

This looks like some old school quake style fun. I'm down.

I think the original Halo looks better than this

I want to like this game because I appreciate the effort this dev is putting behind their game, but I'm totally not feeling the art style.  I don't think the graphics are bad from a technical perspective, but it just looks uninspired.

The first ever awesome Wii shooter? We'll see.

It is most definitely a bad thing when you see a console built upon the idea of innovation resort to classic ideas to fill a gap in their titles. I will never understand games like Mad World and Conduit, games that are obviously marketed towards the hardcore gamers who own the system. If hardcore gamers are to get involved, Nintendo needs to actually use the Wii-mote in an innovative way, not a classic one.

But what do I know? Apparently the Wii sells just fine ;)

Timesplitters is pretty much a forgotten series.

If you only have a Wii, then I can understand getting this for your FPS fix; but if you have either a 360 or PS3, why would you even bother with The Conduit when there are better and deeper shooters available?  It's your money to waste I guess.

This could be awesome as hell if it's done right.

Expected to release in 1998 right?"

This game looks promising.

"Can't wait, one of the few games I'm looking forward to.Online voice chat with random people---great. Standard on the 360, but I can't stand playing an FPS with two sticks; and I don't have a graphic card (on board graphics on my computer)."

This game is only distinguished by it being for the Wii, and online multiplayer that will require (shudder) friend codes if you want to play with more than strangers is automatically a strike against it. But I assume that the usual suspects will defend it to the bitter end, no matter the critical reception (positive or negative)

Looks like... a functional online shooter!

To bad you have to use friends codes to play online.

Ok so i had first comment and then it was taken from my grasp that's depressing. I guess the Final story was posted.

I don't see the point yeah it will have voice chat but with that stupid wii speak which honestly who the hell uses that. I cant see myself getting excited about online in any Wii game

Oh no no, dont get me wrong. I didnt mean generic as a negative term. To me the classic generic games were some of the best FPS's ever before the market got oversaturated wit them.

"I guess it's pretty sweet that you're getting a full multiplayer experience on the Wii, though I think Medal of Honor Heroes 2 did that already perfectly. However, the game just looks so generic and at some points, the game just looks like it's on the N64. "

Are you talking about Heroes 2 or the Conduit, Milkman?

I guess it's pretty sweet that you're getting a full multiplayer experience on the Wii, though I think Medal of Honor Heroes 2 did that already perfectly. However, the game just looks so generic and at some points, the game just looks like it's on the N64. 

I'm still not sold on this game but hopefully it'll turn out awesome.

Friend codes needed?

To me it looks like a mix of almost all the "generic" shooters on the market. It has the Goldeneye/Perfect Dark theme goin for it. You can see some Timesplitters thrown in there. And jumping from Halo ;)

Not saying it as a bad thing, I think this mix will make it a lot of fun. It probably wont have a great storyline but it should be fun.

"Not that it's going to matter to anybody, but the Call of Duty: World at War multiplayer on Wii is actually excellent. Very fast matchmaking, no lag, and pretty much the full online CoD experience, with ranks, perks, the in-game items (UAV's, artillery, dogs)... the whole bit except for chat.

Which of course means it's damn hard to find a consistent group to play with (or to coordinate with the people you are playing with), but it's still a lot of fun to jump into for a half hour. And the controls are great. I would rather aim and shoot with a Wiimote than with a dual-analog any day of the week. It's just such a damn shame that Nintendo failed to account for the absolute need for voice chat in online gaming. All they would need is that and a decent friends system, and I would actually prefer CoD on Wii over PC/360, even with the hit to the graphics.

I can't imagine anyone that didn't expect it to have multiplayer. Also, that made me laugh Fragstoff, thank you.

i heard a few negative things about this game but hopefully high voltage  will fix these problems
because this game looks great for the Wii and i can't wait to play the hell out this game

GOD DAMNIT.

WHY???????????

WHY ISN'T THE WII HAVE MORE GOOD GAMES TO MAKE THIS WORTH IT!

Generic things are what is played the most, all that matters is if they're fun. Ie, Call of Duty, Halo, Unreal Tournament, Resistance, people even already anticipate Modern Warfare 2. How's that not going to be generic? It's just bound to be fucking awesome which is why people look forward to it. Generic is just thrown around by anyone who wants to insult them, not because it actually matters in how good a game is.

And no I'm not saying The Conduit will approach any of these (maybe eventually if it becomes a franchise), especially when it comes to the multi player side, but meh, let's not slam it just yet. It could be a good throwback to the days of Perfect Dark. It can't be as bad as Haze, right?

"Kraznor said:

"I swear if this game was on any other platform no one would care at all. "A sci-fi themed first-person shooter? NO WAY!!!""

People sure cared about Haze and all its hype, up until reviews slammed it hard. Let's see what happens with this, eh?"
