Why is Conduit hyped so much? It looks generic

I'm not going to pretend Xbox 360/PS3 don't have generic shooters as well (Area 51, Haze) but why are the sheep hyping Conduit like it's their Halo?

The developer hasn't made any major title that scored AAA (from what I can tell, they mostly make cheap ports) The story is about another bug invasion of the US.

The graphics at its best look pretty good but in other parts it looks really bad. Safe to say, hermits, cows and lemmings have nothing to worry about here.

good pic

uh, not so good...

Because it's supposed to have good graphics for the Wii.

It kind of kills the "Gameplay over Graphics" statement the sheep has said all of this gen until now.

God that looks ugly. I've seen better looking Xbox shooters.BladesOfAthena

Yeah, like Riddick. Or even Doom 3. I don't think the Wii can handle stencil shadows and normal/bump-mapped textures.

its supposed to be generic. the wii has barely any shooters on it, while the ps3 and 360 have tons and tons of them. so while multi console owners may see it as stupid, a wii only owner may be looking at it with a lot of anticipation. i was very exited for this game before i decided to get a ps3. now, not so much.

HV is just trying to bring a generic shooter to those who dont have any.

I'm hyped for the controlsm, which are superior to any other fps on consoles thankyouverymuchSon_of_Some

Controls don't mean **** if the game plays like garbage.

IGN praised the controls in their preview, which sounds like a very good thing. Gameplay and controls > graphics (for the wii, on xbox/ps3 you need all).

I didn't state that I know for a fact, hence the "if". I'm only saying as a hypothetical.

I'm not sure why people keep on stressing this point, as if the 2 are mutually exclusive. Simply put, there is no gameplay without graphics, because then how can one interact with what they cannot see? 

Games are a visual medium. Let's not pretend that graphics don't matter, because they do.

Don't know. Controls I suppose. That's pretty much all you can hype when 360/PS3 do everything else much better.locopatho

Indeed. Its funny when people keep on harping that controls are superior when Resistance 2 is clearly a much better game than Red Steel. Oh the irony.

red steel was a launch title (devs didnt have much time to get it together or learn how to implement the motion controls) and almost any wii owner knows that the controls for it suck. your comparing a poorly made game to a well made game.. why? try comparing R2 controls to MP3 controls.. your argument fails, anyone who takes off their fanboy goggles can tell that the wii has superior controls to the ps3/360 when done correctly. HV has put serious time and effort into this game. the visuals arent bad for a wii game (those screens are crap, there are some much better ones. but its not a 360/ps3 game, dont act like it should look like one.) it has some good new concepts to it (for example: one of the weapons allows you to use the remote to steer a missile). the controls are said to be flawless and fully customisable. so just wait for its release before you pass judgement.

what would they not be able to see? its not an ugly game. your acting like people will mistake an alien for a box. ever play a FPS 2 gens ago? ever have any trouble seeing something? of course graphics matter to some degree, but gameplay/controls are much more important. and according to many many previews, thats where this game shines.

I'm definitely not hyping it. It looks like the definition of generic. I still think it could be a fun game, though, and I want to try it. Why? It's an FPS on the Wii that's neither Metroid nor a multi-plat. I think it looks ok, but I'm not sure why developers (Nintendo aside) can't make their games look more than ok on the Wii.

We're not hyping The Conduit. I know this because we're not hyping anything right now.

Or at least we shouldn't be hyping anything right now.

Have you played it to have a opinion on whether or not its the weakest in the Trilogy or going off scores from GS? Many people have said the oppesite and enjoyed it more so than the orignal MP like I for instance.

FPS games are inherently generic, that include Halo.DaBrainz

did i bring up anything but controls? i think not. while R2 my have gotten a slightly higher score, you cant honestly think the controls are better. youre nothing but a fanboy, there is no argument when it comes to controls.

you fail..

EDIT: and btw, any metroid fan will tell you that MP2 is the weakest in the trilogy.

Well obiousvly you would like it more.

But I've seen a lot more posts saying MP3 was lackluster compared to the first two MP masterpieces on the GC.

If the controls were so great wouldn't it reflect the score? I mean, if the controls are so much better than normal console gamepads, how come it's the weakest MP game in the franchise?

[QUOTE="Dibdibdobdobo"][QUOTE="RuinedMachine"]


Is that why MP3 is the weakest game in the MP franchise? The only MP to fail to get AAA?

Is that why R2 got AAA and MP3 didn't?RuinedMachine

omg how can you not realize that controls are 1 aspect of a game? i personally love MP1 much more than 3. does that mean i think the controls are better? no! the controls in MP3 are much better than in MP1.

the scores arent based just off of controls. did you know that?

EDIT: read the review, he raves about the controls in nearly every paragraph.
