The official conduit thread - the sequel

[Dzapper]

It will also feature LAN Multiplayer? that's pretty sweet. Not that it matters to me though, as hardly any of my friends have a wii.... But the online, I'm definitely exited about 16 players. Not bad I suppose. Better than CoD WAW's 8.... Don't get me wrong, I like Cod WAW, but the multiplayer could've been better in terms of the number of players.They've already done 32 player online with MoH H2, so why couldn't they at least have like 16 online multiplayer for CoD WAW...I mean, even PS2 had 32 multiplayer.....(right?). Anyways, this game sounds pretty bad ass. When's it coming out? I hope soon.

Well you have to understand that the team developing COC:WaW was under a tight time schedule. The game had to be released along side PS3/XBOX360. They focused more on graphics rather than number of players, and I must say that COD looks much better than MOHH2 online. When you go online with MOHH2 you can't even see the opponent reloading, they are basically just a walking avatar for the person your shooting, it feels really disconnected.

Previews lately have sounded good, I love how interesting and talkative the developers are when being asked certain questions.

so i thought i would just post about how the health system is going to work in conduit:

you get three (or four) bars of health. when you have full health and you take damage, your health replenishes but if you take too much damage and you run out of a full bar of health, your first bar will remain empty and you will have to find a health pack to replenish it. IMO it sounds like a good middle ground between health packs and regenerating health.

what do you guys think?

More on the 16 player online:

Nintendo Power promised the scoop on The Conduit’s multiplayer mode, but a few early details have apparently been released. If the latest rumors are to be believed, The Conduit will support 16 players online and will include friend codes. This information allegedly comes from High Voltage Software’s Matt Corso, but there is not an official confirmation. Though nothing has been confirmed, these details are more than likely to be true. Granted this information is correct, this means that there is still a major online Wii title out there that will not be supporting friend codes.

^

really? it will use friend codes? I was looking forward to no friend codes too... Oh well, at least it'll have voice chat(even if it is in the form of the annoying wii speak peripheral).

Hmm... I see. I've never played MOHH2, so I couldn't have known. I guess devs are still trying to focus on what the wii is capable of graphics wise, after they have that down, maybe they'll begin to focus on better online play.

 

[DaRkDiAbLo]

I'm just really excited to see what it is they do with the online...

 

[pYRo]

Well I heard that they took out the LAN multiplayer because Nintendo wouldn't allow it. Anyone else hear about this? If it's true then why the heck not?!

Also, there are a few pretty good videos on youtube from NY Comic Con. I can't really post them since I'm on my Wii browser, but just search for The Conduit Wii and sort by date added and they'll be there.

I read on N4G that the US release date has been confirmed by HVS to be June 9th. Yeah, I am basically going to end up in an insane asylum waiting that long because I will start flipping out since I can't wait any longer!

And Animales de la Muerte is no longer coming to WiiWare. What a failure.

Rumor: The Conduit to have lobby system

Rumor: The Conduit to have lobby system

I'm sorry but...

OMFG A LOBBY SYSTEM? NO WAY!!!!

Video looks good, I can see how people walking by would think it was a 360 game, the thing it's oh so famous for.

 

[CantGetAWii]

Lobby system could be good.

If June ends up being the date, it better end up being a good game and worth the wait.

almost sounds like suffering/recovering from a minor/major injury. Nice.
