Ah come on... Open up your eyes and smell the reality! It's real I tells ya. Real!

Aha! Well in that case, I apologize for not responding directly to your... uhm... beef? I don't think the art's getting all that much of attention. Nobody here's saying "Wow, omfg in heaven or hell, this game has teh b3st setting ever in history since Jesus" or something. Indeed, the art doesn't seem to be all that different from what we've been fed over the last decade or so. But can you hold it against them? Originality shines if the art and design functions, and only then. I can name you quite a lot of art directions which are pretty new and cool, but didn't come to shine because they didn't have a story or gameplay to back them up (Killzone, for instance). Perfect Dark, my holy grail in FPS's, didn't have an all that great art direction either (Skedar? Elvis? Can you say Alien meets ET?), but it was implemented in such a great way, with a story and with gameplay of stellar quality, that it didn't matter. I'm currently looking at the brighter side of things. That's just awesome in my opinion. Sure, the rest may look bland, but it looks just as bland in a whole lotta other games out there, which did get highly appreciated. Whether or not those games actually deserved their appreciation... Hope this is more to-the-point?

Ha! I'll see to it that it happens when that time is upon us! Luckily for me, I don't believe I made such bold statements

I'll call those two cents and raise by a fiver. Obviously, as with any game on Wii with some expectation behind it, you get these kind of comments after a while (or from the very beginning). Whilst I appreciate and applaud the fact that you can formulate an opinion in such an eloquent manner (a virtue nowadays on the net), I beg to differ. Any game deserves slack until YOU have actually played it. Not read reviews, not see someone play it, but actually played it yourself. Taste is a fickly thing, which implies that mediocrity for one person equals steller greatness for the next. Take Mass Effect and NWN for instance. I absolutely adore Bioware for Baldur's Gate, but Mass Effect are so much flawed in my opinion that they shouldn't be in the same sentence even as BG. But both got ninety-ish scores in reviews, and both had their own audiences. The Raving Rabbidses are of the same. They were slated for their mediocrity and shiteness, but I'd score those games way up there simply because of the fact that the game rules at getting you and yer mates drunk, and keeping you happy all the way. The sexual innuendo that goes with certain minigame gestures is also classic. Anyzwayz, to get to a more relevant point. Perfect Dark was and is awesome. I lie awake in bed imagining what the title could be like with Wii-controls. That game made me what I am (well, together with some other things...). What I'm trying to say is that I shall be happy if The Conduit has the same amount of character of Perfect Dark Zero, as long as it would play like Perfect Dark would on Wii. And that is why the game is hyped and praised. A lot of gamers, including myself, and perhaps even including you, are gagging for this kind of game. If the graphics aren't "all that" eventually, even if the framerate has a few hiccups now and then, maybe one should ask themselves the question if their expectations are reasonable? You have to calculate a lot of factors into those expectations tbh. The Wii isn't the 360, and it'll take a few years and a whole more money before the visual prowess of the Wii will near that level. Yes, Resident Evil 4 still looks good, but how long was that in development? And by whom and with what resources? Like you said, the game's funded internally, so, in my opinion, yes, the game should get a whole damn lot of credit for looking this good, even if you think it's mediocre-looking. And then, even if this turns out crap (which it won't I'm sure), HVS should be commended for their influence on the dev scene. It might be a coincidence, but ever since this game was announced, I see a whole lot more "mature" games heading to the Wii. I do believe these factors should support an opinion. In short, I think that this game looks fucking unbelievable - for the Wii. Edit: Damn you Hellfire, I actually began writing before your post showed up, and the time difference between our comments is still more than 20 minutes

... then this is the first footage of Sadness. Looks good tbh, from what you can see at the least. It's about time someone came out of that Eastern European closet and showed us something. Now for the devs to do the same thing... Oh and if this still is considered to be a hoax, it's a damn elaborate one. Only a couple of weeks before quite a few people have to uphold their end of their bets (eg, "if this is real, I'll go and screw my shoe, eat my shoe, marry my shoe," etc).

Come again?! I've had my fair share of anime over the years, but what what what?

The enemy in the second to last is awesome, so is the weapon in the last screenshot. Indoor screenies do have superior quality over the exterior ones (only logical though). Loving it. Thanks for the screens!

Obviously some lower res models in there, but for a game with a year's worth of development ahead, it's looking mighty fine already. Got me psyched. Also, the trailer is filmed off of a screen, diminishing the quality.

Every time I see new footage, it just amazes me again. Free world roaming? Pushing your foes to the side of an ongoing train and watch them being grated like cheese? Herr Frederick von Twirlenkiller?

Damn, after seeing the comparison between RE4 and this, it's hard to believe it's running on the same engine... in a bad way, that is. Is someone here a member of the Capcom boards? We should vent our "lack of polish" anger towards Mr. Svensson, he seems to reply to a lot of remarks on those forums.

First clip made me nauseous, second clip did the trick and made me vomit. Although exams may be partly responisble for that too. But come on, what the hell? All the good elements from Pro Evo Wii my ass.

My esteem for Sega rises yet again. What's next, Empire: Total War? That would be sweet. Give us that!

I hear what you're saying, though I don't think that's the case with me. Admittedly, I've only played the Wii HotD compilation at my mates, and it's an experience that's worth remembering. You know, the kind of suck that's actually fun to endure. RE:UC was pretty good once I configured the zapper right That + grindhouse + zombie dismemberment= pure win 1337age and such for me

Liking the way it's turning out - although graphics can use a polishing up.

Sweeeeet. So we were waiting for JSGR, but got bloody gory campness instead. My eyes are crying blood out of sheer joy and horror. Thank you Sega!

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. Thanks for the heads up Dante.

Rated M for Mature! It's alive still!! http://www.vooks.net/modules.php?module=article&id=13209

Really? Dang. So in that commercial, they just connected the Nunchuk-wire to the nunchuk-box instead of attaching the box? Lolz. Worth a try, thanks for bringing me down

Dudes... Check this out. 1:00 in, 1:51 in. What's that hanging under the Wiimote? No nunchuck-attachment for sure. Looks to me as if they had this upgrade hanging around long time. http://cube.ign.com/dor/articles/651334/tgs-2005-revolution-teaser-video/videos/revolutiontrailer_091605_daudio.html Sorry if anyone else noticed this, but thought it might be worth mentioning (cleaning out my hdd, watching some old vids for old time's sake, found this, couldn't believe what I'm seeing).

Probable explanation for that is that they're no fans of the survival horror genre This game is no RE 4, more like Ringu, Ju-On, and such. Which explains why the girl moves slowly, you don't use IR to shine the torch, and photos aren't made using the Wiimote (although I'm with you on the whole photo-mechanic though). Enough ot for now, want some new info stat!

On PC? I beg to differ. On 360? Probably so. And never thought about the Sauron-likeness before. Nicely pointed out!

It will, until there's enough hype 'round it for it to become the next game on the chopping block (following Manhunt 2).

^ Amen to that. Now only if that would stop threads like these from sprouting out of internet soil.

Note to self: don't let girlfriend play this, might have adverse effects.

Not much going on. Headlines: Kuju working on Wii game, way into development; dudes from Moon (DS; what is it, Renegade something something?) also working on Wii project. Madden '08 Wii pretty good.
