Well see my whole thing has been yes, the Wii can have it's generic shooter game that does nothing new. Just like it can have it's generic puzzle game and generic platform game and generic racing game. Those are fine.
What really got my daffodils in a hammock is the fact that people starting hyping this thing as the next huge game and the real "HARDCORZ" game on the Wii. Then I realized that this game became something it had no hope of ever becoming.
People are in the "this will save the Wii" mentality and this game has as much chance of "saving" the Wii as handing out antibiotics today trying to save someone who died from a staph infection in 1986.
People are saying it's the best looking game ever on the Wii and it's good but it's not great. All the aliens look like they were bathed in Vaseline and look at this...
So not only do Ruffles have ridges but so do all doorways in the Conduit? The protagonist has to evade aliens AND razor sharp woodwork?
I don't mind that the game is here, I'm not one of those people who wish it was never made. Although the mentality it's brought with it could be left behind and I wouldn't bat an eyelash

I'm sure you've known this a while, but many just can't understand thata hardcore/casual game doesn't determine the quality of a game. This"hardcore Conduit game"is just bringing excitement of being a wii exclusive, and nothing more. If it wereon any other console, this game would probably be looked down on.
Through that image you have shown, I see that the jagged edgesstilll exist even after all this time. And it's not just the doors but also the walls, the painting,even the aliens. Worse, High Voltage completely did succeed in the hyping. Statements of this being comparable to a 360/PS3 game in terms of visualsfrom High Voltage in addition to innovation (a.k.a the not so innovative all-seeing eye) and having fewer than 10 FPS titles since the Wii's launch in a span of over 2 and 1/2 years it is really of no surprise that the hype has gone insane.
Is it generic? Yes. Will it have 360/PS3 visuals? Heck no. Is it innovative? Not at all. To top it all off, I'm betting that The Conduit won't sell a million.
Yet, I got to give credit for High Voltage really trying and setting some good ideas for an exclusive title built from the ground up: 12 player online, Wii Speak compatibility, fully customiazble HUD as examples. I think it'll be a fine addition to the Wii library especiallyfor itsFPS line up, but many will be disappointed unfortunately.
Besides, I'm in the mood for a title like this outside of Metroid Prime 3 that isn't Mature rated and isn't better on another console (*looks at Call of Duty titles*)
I see... ...because as far as I know, lots people like Haziq, AlexSays, Newman, etc (at least to my knowledge) aren't interested in this title.[QUOTE="wiifan001"][QUOTE="Jaysonguy"]
Anyone I like.
I have friends that want this game and I'm cool with that. It's not like I'm going to be like "OH YOU SUCK YOU JERK" if they get the game and since they want this game I don't want it to suck horribly.
On the other hand I really don't see anything good about this game.

The aliens are an insect like race and insects do look shiny. That vasaline look is accurate, though the aliasing is a little disturbing (but I don't notice it in the gameplay videos). There are some people that are genuinly excited about this game and if you have a problem with that then you have a superiority complex. Instead of being a snob and hating on the game because some people have convinced themselves that game X or Y is going to "save" the Wii, just move on and let themremain excited. What's the harm in that?

I see what you mean. As generic as this game seems, it's still a symbol of Devs trying. Whose to say that this will show devs what they can do with the system and lead them to improve their quality or make more Wii-exclusive games(and ones of a higher quality). This game may not save the Wii by being the best game on the market, but it has the potential to improve its future(then again, it's already looking bright, so there goes that). Hmm... Maybe you have a point. The character models look great, but everything around them looks... meh. They don't blend together well. If you're going to use specularity highlights and bump mapping on character models, use them in the environments as well. The water is the only thing in the environment that looks particularly good. It's like they had an idea of how the environments were to be layed out and how the character models looked, but never made an attempt to make them look like they were made for the same game. The alien looks like it was cropped and pasted into the scene and not like it's really there. I don't know much about gameplay yet since I'd have to play the game to fully know what it's like. I'm still looking forward to this game though. It looks like it could provide a good time. P.S. I don't thing this game is rendered at 480p, which would explain why the jaggies are so big and noticeable and why the models are so much better than ones in other games- because when a game is rendered at a lower resolution than normal, the system can handle more but attempts to clean up the models are less effective. But I'm not sure...
