When the Wii was first announced many gamers thought of the possibilities when it came to first person shooters. While it took a while, High Voltage Software and SEGA answered the cal with The Conduit. Time and time again, this game has been regarded as one of the best FPS titles for the Wii to date.
The game received such critical acclaim that the developers are going on to release a second title appropriately dubbed The Conduit 2. While we’ve heard a bit about the game, we haven’t seen it’s online multiplayer displayed on video. Luckily, High Voltage has come forth today to release a trailer showcasing just that which we’ve included above for your viewing pleasure.
I don’t know about you guys but I think I’ll have to side with Shia LaBeuof on this one, despite a few good titles nothing on the Wii has really caught my eye, that’s why I’m so excited for The Conduit. It looks to push the graphical capabilities of the Wii along with providing top notch first person gameplay.
Well, it seems Sega has found it fitting to provide The Conduit with a television ad as its June 23rd release date draws ever closer. Wait, that’s tomorrow!
Please excuse us for the poor quality video, we will provide you with a better one as it becomes available.
For the many anime buffs out there who love to get a hold of characters used in gaming consoles, here is a new one for you. Thanks to D3Publishers, ASTRO BOY: The Video Game is coming this fall for Wii, Nintendo DS, Playstation 2 and PSP.
Based on the upcoming feature film which itself is inspired by one of the most beloved characters of all time, ASTRO BOY: THE VIDEO GAME will allow players to become Astro Boy, a young boy robot with incredible powers. ASTRO BOY: THE VIDEO GAME is slated to ship worldwide this fall to coincide with the North American and international release of the movie in October 2009 from Summit Entertainment.
“We are confident that the ASTRO BOY: THE VIDEO GAME will be a faithful adaptation of the movie by successfully blending action gameplay with immersive storytelling,” said Alison Quirion, vice president of marketing, D3Publisher. “Players of all ages will interact with the much-loved characters from the movie and square off against powerful foes from the movie for a rock solid gameplay experience from start to finish.”
ASTRO BOY: THE VIDEO GAME for Wii, PlayStation 2 system and PSP system is under development by High Voltage Software and Nintendo DS by Art Co. Ltd. The game is currently rated “RP” (“Rating Pending”) by the ESRB.
Gamers and developers alike have been salivating over the potential of the Wii Motion Plus accessory for some time. The device adds greater motion sensing capability to the Wiimote which will hopefully bring the console closer to true 1:1 motion sensing. High Voltage Software are currently developing The Conduit, an FPS title designed to appeal to the hardcore gamers the Wii has been accused of ignoring.
Initially the developer had said that the game would support the Wii Motion Plus, but they’ve now announced that this won’t be the case anymore. There were no problems with development associated with it as they reported that “Nintendo provided us with early hardware and good developer support,” according to High Voltage software VP and chief creative officer Eric Nofsinger. After some tests they discovered that the accessory didn’t improve the gameplay. As you might expect since the title is an FPS, the game is entirely based on ranged combat, which the Wii demonstrated it could handle from its launch with the Resident Evil 4 port and Red Steel.
