steggy Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Remember "A" listers are more likely to see it as beneath them and come in record there lines as quick as possible and collect there cheque. Not saying all "A" listers would do that and even lesser celeb's still might do it in the end. But it's at least some sort of reason against the more expensive celeb.

Hellfire Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Like you said before though, more expensive and better are two different things. Considering they didn't hire the creme de la creme of voice actors, I'm guessing it's because the other ones sucked, or they didn't even have VA.

Emasher Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I don't think this interview has been posted yet. They explain why they don't have a publisher yet and talk about the game and the progress they've made while a demo is playing in the background: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41038.html Ooooh Emasher... the first of the conduit sigs and avatars has arrived in style!

Darkspine S Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 http://www.cubed3.com/news/10944 Conduit Publisher Revealed? The Publisher for High Voltage Software's The Conduit may have been unwittingly revealed to be none other than the one-time rival to Nintendo; Sega. On a list of future games to come from Sega, including MadWorld, Sonic and the Black Knight and Infinite Space, there is a folder for The Conduit, currently empty whilst all of the others have been updated with recent trailer and Screenshot releases. It was previously speculated from developer comments that Nintendo themselves would publish the anticipated First Person Shooter, but now it looks to be Sega who will continue their excellent Wii support. Sega have yet to confirm if they are indeed the publisher. Thanks to the folks at Neogaf. Said list here. Great if true, Sega have been doing brilliantly on Wii so far.

D_prOdigy Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I'd certainly give a big nod of approval if it was Sega. Although there's still something that doesn't sound right with a Japanese company publishing a western FPS. Then again, Sega have always been a more American company at heart anyway.

Ganepark32 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Been taken down from the list. Appears something was put it which shouldn't have been put up . Anybody think we'll know who it is officially by the end of the year? The game is due out in Q1 of 2009 so now would be a suitable time to do it. But then, announcing a publisher isn't that big a deal so I could see reasoning for not saying anything until they announce the official release date.

D_prOdigy Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Either way, I think High Voltage have played the game perfectly so far. They've made a heck of a load of people aware of the game, and thousands are interested. The best thing they can do is to just let The Conduit simmer down until next year. Once the rush of major Christmas releases are over, and the March release (for USA) gets on the horizon, they can really start to crank up the hype until it hits eleven by late Feb. They keep talking about amazing new areas of the game that no-one has seen yet, plus they've kept completely mum on online multiplayer. They should wait until 09 before coming out all guns blazing, and providing the actual game is as solid as it should be (very positive signs so far), you've got all the ingredients tactically played for a gurantee smash-hit.

Emasher Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Sega was a publisher I would have expected. Now I just want the ESRB rating to be confirmed as "T" so I know I'm not going to have to wait an extra year to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emasher Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Are publishers limited to publishing certain types of games now? Perhaps Sega have decided to get into more FPSs and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellfire Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 SEGA is probably the best 3rd party publisher out there anyway :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.dakota Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Nintendo has no franchise in the FPS genre, and i think its about time they invested in a quality western developer with a track record to carry out such a task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geist is Nintendo's. Confirmed... http://n-europe.com/news.php?nid=12534 Well, I had my money on THQ right the way through till yesterday, but Sega will be just as good I guess.

david.dakota Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Geist is Nintendo's. A franchise which Nintendo have, at least as far as we know, absolutely no plans to continue. I'd love to see a Wii-vised Geist. I really liked the Gamecube version, a Wii version would no doubt improve the controls and framerate- the two main criticisms of the original.

ShadowV7 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I'm not too surprised it's SEGA. Good choice anyway. Wonder what other offers they got from publishers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emasher Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hopefully this doesn't end up like NIGHTS Wii did and being a great game that didn't sell very well. I don't think Sega really does that much in terms of marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noku Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 nintendo is taking over sega or at least a very definate hint. Could be a valid prediction. Was some talk of it in the past, anyway. http://www.allbusiness.com/services/motion-pictures/4933767-1.html Dunno how Sega's faring financially now. And Zechs, sorry for teh beating you to it But you know what say right? Great minds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
