The Conduit Previewed: Graphic are everything they've been hyped to be

G4tv has a preview of the The Conduit.

The graphics are meeting the hype, and according to High Voltage Software, they are just the tip of the iceburg.

I can't wait for The Conduit II and whatever else High Voltage is working on.

Might want to wait for Conduit 1 before getting your hopes up for Conduit 2.

A sequel has already been confirmed I believe and is already in development. That might not make sense to some, but the first game is following a strict schedule so any ideas and concepts left out of the first game are to be implemented in the sequel straight away.Raiko101

Yeah!

Loved the look of this game from this first time I saw it.

No.The graphics were originally hyped to be of 360/PS3 level,and they aren't even close.

hopefully things turn out good for this game but from the videos i've seen im not to happy wit it. the guns sound weird ai doesnt seem very smart n the graphic dont look to good(graphic may look better on the tv other then a video on the computer) also online doesnt impress me

I'm really forward to this game, and it appears a sequel is being hinted at :Dwiifan001

They mentioned that this was just the tip of the iceberg because of new graphical technologies developed too late to include.

These could be included in the sequal. I hope that there is one, then we will have a great FPS franchise on Wii.

Looking good! Can't wait, already saving money for it. :)

I have mixed feelings. Some of the textures look really good, while others look like absolute garbage. It does look better in motion though. I could care less about the graphics anyway. It's the gameplay and controls I care about.Rocky32189

Then you're in the clear!:D

Can't wait for some more information on the online modes.

Meeting what hype? Its still ugly and not what they promised it would achieve.Haziqonfire

looks good, though I don't know what they mean by laggy servers, the only game I know is laggy is Brawl but Mario Kart is smooth, if The Conduit operates like MKW than it will be fine.Sepewrath

how about the gameplay? Is it good?

This looks promising.

Let's hope its rated T though.

I really don't see why High Voltage is making such a big deal about the graphics. If there is going to be a major improvement (highly doubtful) before the release, then I'lll give them credit but I think Metroid Prime 3, Call of Duty: WaW, and Metal of Honor Heroes all look better then the Conduit. Allthough I really don't care about the graphics if the game matches WaW's quality of online play, I don't see why there is so much hype. The bump mapping and fancy effects are unimportant compared to better textures and model quality.

Good art direction or not, this is an important title for the Wii. I just hope sales meet expectations and people find the game enjoyable to play.

You're in luck :)

Wow, 3 pages in and the word "generic" has only been used once, and only to criticize the art, not the game as a whole.

That might be a record low!

I hope they get the multiplayer right.

I don't care so much about graphics personally--I just care about gameplay. I mean, good graphics are nice, but when it comes down to it I'd rather be having fun than looking at a pretty-but-boring game. With the Conduit, though, it looks like we'll be getting both great graphics AND great gameplay. I can't wait.

I'm amazed that anyone would put WaW above The Conduit.

heres some tips,

1 we all bought wiis knowing we werent expecting realistic graphics now that thats out of the way,

we should just worry how good the gameplay and value is, for the most part lol

I hope they get the multiplayer right.

I really can't stand the term "bland Art Direction" the Majority of fan boys does not even know what that term really means, it's just a buzzword they can spout off and give themselves the appearance of looking intelligent. It's become a catchall of "I don't exactly what to bash this game or console about so I'll say something about the "art direction" It's really lameNuck81

Really? Give me a single link where they did, and I'm not talking about your friends homepage.

Other than that, I think everybody should buy this one, not so much for the graphics as for the fact it's not some dumb-a**-on-rail-crap. Two and a half years out, Wii might finally get a good/great FPS. And while that's pretty darn awful, you sure can't blame this game

I'm still not convinced.Looks...dull.

There are some hardware limitations with the system and we've said from the start that we want the game to look as close as possible to the 360 and PS3.

as close as possible, not exactly like a ps3 360 game

It's still a pretty large gap between the capabilities of the system; "As close as possible" isn't saying much.

The Conduit does look like a 360 game.

I know, I played Bioshock.

Play Bioshock, it doesn't look as good as people say, "the art direction is bad."

I played enough next gen games to know what I am talking about.

I am DEAD serious by the way.
