Who knows though, we don't know about all the weapons and how they control maybe some require more motion or will look better if motion is used. All seeing eye as well, really who knows but all it will do is add to the game.

Even so, the IR doesn't use Motionplus and that kind of action does not really need 1:1, I cant see it making much different unless theres some kind of melee weapons.

heres another preview from PAX that praises conduit:

Quote:

Ever since screenshots began popping up for High Voltage Games’ latest Wii offering, FPS fans have been chomping at the bit for it. The game looks incredible, courtesy of an impressive graphical engine that pushes the Wii’s hardware to its limit. However, screenshots and video can only achieve so much, and seeing a game in action for itself is paramount. Luckily, The Conduit delivers, not only with impressive graphics, but solid gameplay to boot. The game was on hand at this year’s PAX, and GameZone was able to take a brief play session of what the game had to offer.

The area that we checked out took place in a city that had been destroyed by an alien threat, with bombed out and destroyed buildings. The game had a pretty solid amount of action, and some great controls. The controls are fully customizable, from the button assignments to sensitivity. All in all, even in the default scheme, the game feels very comfortable and a lot more intuitive than many Wii shooters out there.

Of course, the first thing that gamers will notice about the game is the aesthetic. The game features some of the best graphics on the Wii to date, with textures and lighting effects that can almost rival games on the Xbox 360. The game even looks good in motion, with the early build moving along at a pretty smooth clip with relatively few bouts of slowdown.

The Conduit is really shaping up to be a great looking and great playing Wii game, and is likely to turn more than a few heads when it’s released early next year.

no cross hairs + 1:1 melee motion = WIN^2

well i still dont see how they r going to use it....

FR. · 09-01-2008, 11:35 PM

Well the preview says The Conduit has the best graphics on Wii to date. I'm not trying to insult the Wii, but I'd still like to compare the Wii's "best" graphics to a typical 360 shooter (Halo, CoD 4).

Kotaku says Metroid Prime 3 still looks better. They said the best thing about it wasn't graphics, story or multiplayer. Then again, they didn't have a multiplayer -.- But im assuming they will add a multiplayer since that's only the alpha version.

hey it seemed like that guy on KOTTAKU wanted the conduit to fail. it seemed like he didnt have much experience with wii fps except red steel. also, the game is a good 8 months away from release. i expect the graphixs to improve

DaRkDiAbLo · 09-02-2008, 01:45 AM

i definitely agree with that statement, they are going to improve tenfold so im not having any doubts(.)=(period!)

zapasant93 · 09-02-2008, 01:56 AM

i honestly would be cool if the game looked atleast like mp3

Oh, I didn't really read it, I kind of skimmed through it since I don't have a Wii anymore.

thas · 09-02-2008, 04:30 AM

If someone says that the conduit looks like MP3, they don't know what they are talking about. MP3 had good graphics, but lets face it, it doesn't come close to the conduit.

laserbeak4 · 09-02-2008, 05:27 AM

conduits textures are nice. with nice glossy effects, but it lacks the detail of MP3.
we'll see.

thas · 09-02-2008, 02:55 PM

Does anyone know when G4 will we having coverage of PAX. The ads for it stay on screen for like 3 seconds.

DaRkDiAbLo · 09-02-2008, 03:32 PM

idk but has anyone fund out anything else on any of the weapons? or about the suit he wears... like what it can do?

thas · 09-02-2008, 03:46 PM

I don't think the suit is going to do anything in the game. I am very interested in seeing all the shotguns in the game. Only one shotgun was shown so far.
