Quick Look: The Conduit

" bad game - awesome quick look "

Looks pretty decent to me, although it definitely doesn't make a big impression. I feel like Jeff should've at least tried to mess with the control settings a bit more before calling it imprecise.

Other than that though, it does look somewhat bland.

Nice throwaway Aqau Teen reference.

I watched many videos on this site and I have come to a conclusion they cannot play games. I have played the conduit and it is pretty good! It is no COD but what really is. When it comes to the wii correct setup is needed  it looked like their cursor was jumping(fix sensitivity on sensor bar),couldn't turn correctly(allow off screen turning) and last but not least  DO NOT STAND UP TO PLAY! especially with wii fps's hold the remotes normal with arms resting on legs like u would with a 360 controller and u will be just fine.   PLAY IT BEFORE U HATE IT!!!!! Fanboys

I dont have a wii so i dont really know if this is interesting for wii owners...but that didnt look so hot. Im sure that they did as good of a job as they could, but it still did not look very tight or controlable. 

The lag in the turning  looks terrible

Adjust the deadzone, it makes a world of difference.

The year 2000 called. They want their shooter back.
Generic plot, generic art design, generic gameplay, generic ai, generic level design...
I want a core game that's not a franchise to succeed on the Wii but I hope it's not this one.

It sounded great from all the stuff I've heard about it. Now after watching this it looks like a hassle to play.

This game looks terrible.

It's a floating Doom 3 flashlight!

Hmm... well that was pretty underwhelming, controls did not look like they were very good and the level design was very borning..  not impressed so far.

A generic mediocre shooter, if it was on the 360 and not the wii no one would have even heard of it.

If a FPS this generic came to 360/ps3, no one would give a shit.

So um... the controls seem terrible. Great.

Keyboard and mouse still the best way to control a FPS: Confirmed!

Awesome, Jeff and Ryan got to fight the EDF and the Spies from TF2. However by the looks of this The Conduit is not a good game, I think I can happily give this one a miss.

LOL at 25:33, hiding behind explosive canisters, smart move :P

This game looks terrible.

EDIT: Also, here's an idea for a generic conspiracy theory flavored plot twist: make your informant a shadowy character, tell him that the enemy is some unrecognizable terrorist with a suitably ominous name, then have your "informant" (ie, the terrorist) tell you that your own men have been turned against you, when the truth is, it is you who have been turned against them.

PLOOOT TWIIIIIIST.

Meh, absolutely average at best.

Why did this game get so much attention again?

really thisisi the kind of quicklook that should have been done after someone gets used to the controls, because they work better than anything else on any other console if you have played any other wii shooter (it has a learning curve)

I have to admit, it looks absolutely stunning for a Wii game.

I had high hopes but this is kinda just looking like a generic sci-fi fps with a story pieced together from other games & movies with a wacky control scheme thrown in the mix.

This was a frustrating Quick Look in a lot of ways... I would have spent MUCH more time messing with the controls, and I feels as if I'd have made the bounding box about 75% smaller... I think the game looks like a cool Wii shooter overall.

I thought that with Conduit you were fighting in a debate with a robot President Lincoln at the end. Idea looks ok but controls look like they hurt too much. If the game had a minigame in the spirit of God of War where you took the all seeing eye to a sorority house at a nearby college it might be a better game.

Looks so bland for a game made in 2009. If this was made in 1998 it would be sweet. The design seems so bland also. Controls won't ever be good on the wii not for shooters. It's jut not there and maybe wii2 won't even be there also. Instead of a right analog stick we need a touch screen where we move our tumb = presice aiming maybe even better then a mouse / keyboard combo. It's like we are going to the past, worst controls... When we had improved on the ps1, and n64 era.

Like someone said, it seems like a hassle to play. Why would anyone want to hold their arm out and point for a 6-8 hour game, when they can just sit back with a controller or mouse and keyboard and play that way.

I LOVE Ice Tea!!!

Bullshit..  Black looks way nicer and has even better AI than anything exhibited in that video (which is a surprise, considering that the game was castigated for having AI that loves to stand next to exploding barrels).  And that game is four years old and built for tech that is less powerful than the Wii.

HVS is just incompetent.

" Jeff's hatred for the Wii is starting to become grating.At least other Quick Looks were made after the guys played the game for a while. This feels like "we didn't play this before, and we won't play it anymore after this QL is over!".I can't believe nobody even mentioned the simple fact that the Wii is not powerful enough to run a game bigger than this. What were you all expecting, f***ing Crysis? I think HVS did a pretty decent job with The Conduit. "

Natural Selection 2!

why would you pick this? I mean with MW, MW2, H3, ODST, Battlefield, is not like there´s a shortage of FPS

OMG! I somehow got motion sickness while watching that QL till the end !

I expected it to look a little better. Still, I have already bought it and I'm waiting for it to arrive, so I'll wait to take my own conclusions.

timesplitters 2. It's 2009 and the Wii's killer shooter ap is pretty fuckin' much timesplitters 2?

Except, oh wait no, timesplitters 2 had rudimentary environmental damage effects. My mistake

Looks great for a Wii game but I'll stick with Dead Space and R2 for the time being, wii controls just dont peak my interest atm

I'm sick of gravely voiced characters.

Uh, why did he leave his bounding box so wide open? Did he actually like Red Steel?

Wow, this quick look completely ruined the game for me.

This quick look was painful for me. Jeff didn't know anything about the controls, so he ended up making the game look like a mess throughout. The controls are actually great, they just may take some time to get used to for some people. Also these guys forgot to show some multiplayer action, which is awesome. I don't know, I just hope that games are getting well represented in these quick looks.

So folks actually thought this would be good????   My Wii is strictly for the classic nintendo IP's Zelda,mario and metroid etc.   Other then that I dont touch the damn thing. 

Wii boys calm down I'm sure you'll defend this to the death regardless of it's actual quality. I'll just use my motion controlled mouse to play good  things instead.  I do like Metroid on Wii, although it kills my wrist.

Just for good measure.

Why did Jeff purposely keep moving infront of that big bunch of gas canisters as to be between them and the enemy he was shooting  about half way though the video. It felt like he was purposely standing right next to them so they'd obviously blow up and kill him.

I still think the game looks complete garbage but that bit seemed odd.

I knew his voice was familiar but now that I know it's Kevin Sorbo, the most heterosexual man on Earth, I won't be able to make bad comments about Hercules and that really bad space show he was in.

In all seriousness, there's a lot you can do with the control schemes to find it better. It seems weird they thought that was the best default control, but whatever. This game can control a lot better than Jeff and Ryan are wielding.

Oh Wii. I hope your offspring won't be as retarded as you are. Nintendo C64 or something horrible like that.

why is this game ambitious(?) Just wondering...

C'mon guys. It wasn't that bad...
