Exactly, it's a Conduit thread, of course some people in here will like it. If that upsets you, don't visit Conduit threads. That was my point which you oh so cleverly took out of the quote. Now would please stop derailing the thread with false personal accusations? What "rage" and "berating"  did you experience? Did I accuse you, or did I try to make you like something you clearly do not? I only retaliated against trolls that go all "sell your Wii" and then claim all they have said is "facts" and nothing more. How would you miss that yet see "berating" from my side, then claim such trolls did nothing but say "if this game was coming to PS3/360/PC the hype would be significantly less" which is blatant lying? Is urging me to buy or sell anything a "fact" I somehow miss, and how does it translate into what you say?

As for your specific claims about hype, I never even disputed such a statement in any "raging" or "berating" manner other than bringing up another "generic" looking shooter which did get hype on a HD system, showing that statement may not be 100% true after all, based on historic fact than mere assumptions. You guessed it, that "hyped" yet "generic" shooter was Haze. I bring it up because it shows "generic" doesn't equal "no hype"regardless of platform. If people have the same arguments, I have the same responses. That's "berating" now?

As for hype, I don't even follow it, for this or any other game, whether it's considered B or AAA or whatever. I post new information and videos, never making claims like "omg best gaem evar" or "holy crap that looks so good dude" since I know none of this is true, for a Wii game or as a game of any platform, as I'm primarily a PC gamer. But hey, my opinion of it is generally positive so I must be a Wii fanboy that grasps at straws and calls shitty games awesome AAA material, yeah? Um, no, my expectations are well defined and toned down. I hope for a solid game, and may or may not get that. So, there's no argument here, is there? Only a difference of opinion. I think HVS is doing good and will probably but not certainly deliver, you think HVS is doing bad but the jury is still out, we'll see what happens.

Maybe this thread can go on now?

To separate off topic rants from the thread's course I've split my comment in two. From GamePro:

FFA mode:
"After Team Objective we checked out a 20-minute free-for-all mode called... Free For All. Normally I'm more apt to playing team deathmatch in my online shooters, but with the variety of over-the-top weapons we chose for this match and the expansive map--a huge multilevel building overlooking a central ground floor which was perfect for picking off players with rocket launcher blasts from above--this mode was actually a great deal of fun. Though we didn't get to check out all the weapon varieties, the "explosive weapons" which we chose for the Free For All match were a whole lot of fun."

Bounty Hunter mode:
"The last mode we played was an interesting assassination mode called Bounty Hunter. In Bounty Hunter, each player is assigned a target which appears as a white dot on the map, and when the target is in distance he will be highlighted so players don't confuse one target from another. The catch is, players lose points for killing anyone who is not their target, unless you manage to kill the player hunting you. After you take out your target, another player becomes the next on your hit list. Of all the modes we played this was the most engaging, as I was constantly wondering who was hunting me, all the while attempting to sneak up on my target without them knowing."

The Bounty Hunter mode sounds like the best of the bunch and is pretty much like The Ship, only without the disguising and sims factor which probably makes it much faster paced. Sweet. Some pretty good screenshots from the different matches are below.



More proof of how uncomfortably they had to sit and play, I can see why certain outlets mention control issues while others don't:

That's way too close to the sensor bar so they had to hold it weird and angle it more upwards than they should. They couldn't just move the chairs further back and rest their hands in their laps are usual, because then the remote would see all the other sensor bars and bork up, if it didn't already... From the recent videos I thought they were noobs that didn't know how to hold a remote, but it wasn't a user error after all...

IGN has some footage from the same press event:
  

You know I`ve been following this game for a long time and I don`t know what to think. I am hyped for this game and I want to believe it`s going to be really good, but I have a feeling it will be disapointing.. hopefully I`m wrong.

It's getting the expected reviews so far, 7-8/10. Here's another video. I wasn't interested in multi player but it seems like the experience is solid and smooth so I may give that a shot as well. Bounty hunter mode sounds fun, if simple. Yeah, the players here suck more or less.

The fact that people still care about this fucking game makes me want to pull my fucking hair. It's an alien multiplayer FPS that looks like it might have been an average PS2 launch title. Yet, IN 2009, people are excited about this. Why?! For what reason would anyone who has a functioning brain get excited about this? Because it's on the fucking Wii?! I don't give a shit! If you ONLY have a Wii and you LOVE FPS games, then I guess you should buy this. But really, if you like FPS games and you can't find one better than this, then you're a fucking idiot.

Valium. You need it.

Arguments. You need them. A life would be good too, so you wouldn't be getting this upset over a video game.
