“The Conduit,” a FPS for Wii
Friday, June 13th, 2008After playing Medal of Honor: Vanguard, this looks like an exciting FPS!
The folks over at Gamasutra have posted a great article about the upcoming game, The Conduit, which will be a first-person-shooter released in Q1 of 2009. High Voltage, the developer for this game, is using its’ proprietary
Quantum 3 gaming engine to bring some serious gaming and “squarely establish the Wii as a true next-generation gaming platform.” Well, we’re definitely looking forward to that!
From the article at Gamasutra:
High Voltage says players will take the role of Secret Service Agent Ford, mastering an extensive weapon set and the “All Seeing Eye” device to “defeat enemies, solve puzzles, and unravel the game’s mysteries,” with each action designed to take full advantage of the Wii’s unique controls.
Eric Nofsinger, High Voltage’s Chief Creative Officer said something that we were finally very glad to hear someone say, despite all of the press about Wii being a ‘casual gamer’s game’ and we thank him for it. Eric said that “too many Wii owners have been told that the Wii is a casual platform with no room for serious games or top-tier graphics. With The Conduit, we intend to prove that theory wrong by providing gamers with the kind of title they imagined back when the platform was first announced.”
Thanks for that, Eric. We cannot freaking WAIT to play this game!
