If the latest Gamestop listing for The Conduit is correct, we may have to spend next summer with our drapes drawn and a ready supply of Cheetos to hand, all to take down the evil Drudge (and you). It's not like you need to see daylight or feel the warm sun on your skin, right?

May 19th is the new release date displayed on the retailer's page, and while High Voltage or Sega are yet to comment on this, it is a couple of months out from High Voltage's original target of March.

Don't worry guys, this is most likely rubbish. One site lists release date at May 19th, whereas developers tell us numerous times in interviews that it will most likely be March. Who are we to believe? Stupid question.

Niceee... Back when MotionPlus was first announced everyone disagreed with me. This should be interesting. I also thought it would be cool if you could smack an alien with the side of your rifle by thrusting your elbow toward the screen. MotionPlus should be able to do that.

And like you, I'm still waiting for that FPS experience that has me hiding behind my couch!

Let me remind you early release dates mean nothing. Anyone who preordered Twilight Princess knows that.

Would it piss any of you off if they delayed the game 3 months to improve the overall experience??

I often feel like I'm the only one who doesn't mind waiting a little longer for a better game.

laserbeak4 · 11-04-2008, 10:17 PM

personally i try not to pay attention to release dates. i did for the force unleashed and was utterly disappointed.
gamestop's conduit listing does say may 19th tho....

siiwii · 11-04-2008, 10:53 PM

well i thought it was february so there you go, god only knows when its coming out!

Digital200 · 11-05-2008, 04:08 PM

Do you remenber some time ago a member of this forums (clearly a Xbox360 fan) claims that the Conduit will never has graphics like a Xbox360 game and compared screenshoots from Half-Life 2, he's wrong!!
He used a old demo screenshoot from The Conduit, now I have the last one and compare again, High Voltage really improves the graphics!!
Check this out:
The first is from Half-Life 2 (Xbox360) and the second from The Conduit...

How about some examples that aren't resized down to 300 lines? Get some untouched 480-line images, otherwise you can't make a valid comparison.

While good art design can make a huge difference, the plain fact is that the Wii can only output 480 lines max, while the 360 and PS3 can go up to 1080. This gives them the POTENTIAL to have better graphics but individual games are not always up to that max resolution.

Sorry, but hes right, you can tweak a wii game all you want but you will never reach 360's graphics

sremick · 11-05-2008, 09:14 PM

Here's a comparison for you.

Here's a 448-line screenshot from Guitar Hero World Tour on the Wii:

Now here's a screenshot from Guitar Hero World Tour on the XBox360, resized (not resampled) to 448-lines to simulate an SD screen:

Next we have Madden NFL 08 on the Wii:

And again, the SD version of Madden NFL 08 from the XBox360:

And finally, Call of Duty: World at War, on the Wii:

And on the XBox360 (SD):

Can you see the differences? Sure. Is the Wii as-powerful as the XBox360? Of course not. However, I feel that the Wii holds its own quite well when you take the "HD" factor out of the picture, and I also think that these ported games don't fully-utilize the available power of the Wii in the way that a game like The Conduit does (for example, there's no excuse for the low-res astroturf texture in the Wii edition of Madden 08). Unfortunately, there's no Conduit for any other platform in order to make a comparison there.

This game is definently an improvment to the games that have been coming out.
This peaks my intrest =).

Caliko · 11-06-2008, 10:45 PM

Once you take HD out of the picture there's really no big difference between PS3/Wii/360.

Most of the kids that complain about Wii not supporting HD don't even play on an HD monitor. They see the gamespot kiosks and suspect that the console will magically turn their TV into HD.

Exactly my point. However, most XBox/PS3 fans argue on a basis outside of HD vs. SD. It's come up in countless threads before where it's been debated.

Shoko · 11-07-2008, 04:32 AM

How did you guys get on this topic? It's pointless. The bottom line is that the Wii can't achieve 360 graphics, but it can get VERY close (Metroid Prime 3 for example.) And I know you've heard this countless times before, but screw graphics, it's about the gameplay, which is defiantly what The Conduit will excel in the most.
