david.dakota Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I bought a Wii Speak last week for this game. I thought you bought it to talk dirty to me.
lostmario Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I thought you bought it to talk dirty to me. Sorry to disappoint you (and I know you will be very disappointed) but no
Emasher Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 The review is confirmed real. The guy who edits The Conduit Information Center scanned it himself and has pictures of the magazine to prove it.
Noku Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) Wow. What a complete load of crock. 8/10? Even without having played the game, Mr. T has lost any integrity he had as a reviewer for the Wii. Lack of destructible environments? Where's he been living? In a box on Mars? Save for the Red Factions, no console FPS I can think of has destructible environments. The AI is unimpressive, but does somehow force you to abandon the run-and-gun tactics of olde. ASE is underused. Right. Especially for "Capture the ASE." Yeeeeeep, this reviewer spent a whole lot of time with the game. Not exactly an "in-depth review" either, so screw Nintendo Power Magazine altogether Edited May 22, 2009 by Noku
Emasher Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 There's a reason I didn't bother re-subscribing to them again this year other than the fact that everything in the magazine is online anyway, or there's some sort of equivalent on some site. Even their exclusives were scanned and put online before I used to get the magazine.
Hero-of-Time Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Matt’s in the office this Memorial Day. Why? Pre-E3 2009 coverage kicks off tonight when we unveil High-Voltage Software’s new Wii game. From IGNs Twitter page.
Ganepark32 Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Here is the EU boxart for this: Have to say I like it more than the US one. Not so in-your-face.
Emasher Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Not sure which I like better. Both are awesome. But the NA one explains what the game is about better to mainstream gamers, so I think I like it better.
Cube Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 That big circle things looks like a low-poly untextured CGI model that was badly C&P'd into the artwork. This time, I think the US gets the better one.
dwarf Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Hmm I don't think it looks that bad. Just doesn't hint at what the game is about really. You certainly wouldn't know it was an FPS anyway. They have obviously left that to the 'blurb'.
Daft Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Looks awful. I can see what they were trying to do but it looks cheap.
Emasher Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 It would probably look much better without that ugly rating label on the bottom TBH.
DuD Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 I don't dislike it, but I do agree that maybe it could have been more obvious towards showing it's an FPS. That being said; I think that if I didn't know anything about The Conduit, I'd pick it up and give it a look to see what it was.... so.. I guess it works..?
Fierce_LiNk Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 I agree, DuDe (haha), the box could have done with more to show what type of game it is. I look at it, and I see "Stargate" "Olympics Game (I dunno why but I see that somehow)" and "Adventure." I don't see first person shooter. It's not a bad boxart, but it's not the best. In the end, the box won't bother me, but I hope it doesn't leave the un-informed feeling a bit confused as to what it actually is. But, then again, that's what the back of the box is for, too. Screenies, info, etc.
Retro_Link Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Terrible! From the boxart it looks like some boring artifacts game or something!... tells you nothing about it being a FPS.
Retro_Link Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 No not at all! Personally I'm not all that interested in anything I've seen from it, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't love it to sell and perform incredibly well. That's why I care about the boxart, and IMO that particular boxart is aweful! For those who haven't been following it on the internet, I can't see one thing on it that explains the game, or would particularly draw your attention.
Fused King Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 That Nintendo Power review looks real to me. Would someone be sad enough to make a fake review? Anyways, whatever the reviews I am still getting this game. Dakota will fall on Day 1! My sniper rifle will see to that. I'll make sure this Mario will be very lost and when he is, he'll feel the wrath of my shotgun. WII-SPEAK: Fused King: Hey Lostmario I'm behind you. Lostmario: Huh, what? *turns around* Fused King: THIS IS SPARTAAAAAA!!!! *KABOOMOMMMBAAF* Lostmario: Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.[/
nekunando Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 I've never liked the font 'The Conduit' is written in ..and combining that with the box, it doesn't look very nice at all I wish I could get more excited for the game, but I just can't ..I'm still likely to pick it up some time if I hear some good reviews, but I won't be rushing through the door at GAME when they open up on the morning of release
