Though High Voltage isn't ready to spill the beans about specific[online] modes just yet, the studio promises a bevy of new gameplay types, as well as the return of the first game's innovative Bounty Hunter mode.

As you might expect, weapons like the Vortex Cannon will add a few wrinkles to online competition, as will the introduction of different character classes, each with unique attributes. You'll also be able to unlock suit upgrades that bestow your character with special skills; robotic legs, for example, will let you sprint greater distances."

"Right now, the plan is to have one primary suit slot and two secondary slots where you can equip upgrades, but that may change in the final game. From a purely cosmetic standpoint, you'll have tons of options to change your character's appearance using the same modular system the team uses to diversify enemies. For those who prefer to keep their gun fights local, Conduit 2 will feature a two-to four-player splitscreen option for all of the game's competitive modes.

And when you want to take a break from blasting your friends and loved ones, you can team up with them in the new co-op Invasion mode. Up to four players can join forces (either via splitscreen or online), and the challenges they'll face are unique to this mode. Further details remain under wraps, but we always welcome the chance to eradicate some alien scum with our fellow humans."

"Their first order of business: expanding the game's scope, "In the first Conduit, I think the core experience is very sold," says producer Josh Olson."

- set in Atlantis
- SEGA publishing
- Huge boss battles
- old/new weapons
 
Sounds like they're adding a lot of stuff people wanted in the first.  At least they're trying. : :

This needs the BnM treatment.

Wishes everything there possible was is in it? :]

Nice

But no...

That's the ugliest first post about a game...

And I was going to say "ugliest first post about a game I've seen in a long time" but I really think this might take the cake.

It was just a quick copy and paste.  I'm in the middle of WoW!

But if BnM wants, he can create his own and we can delete this.  No big deal to me. I'll probably be too lazy to update it.

All you gamers complaining about the lack of split screen in the first game better buy Conduit 2 on launch day. LAUNCH DAY OR TWO COPIES WITHIN THE FIRST 30 DAYS.

Guess the original didn't bomb that hard...  I'm glad the dev/pub are actually sticking with it rather than give up.  If the improvements are solid then they should be rewarded.

[NWR_insanolord]

The Conduit was a solid game, and if they fix what was wrong with it, which it sounds like they're trying to do, and add a bit more polish, this could be great. I'm interested to see what High Voltage has learned; there was obviously a lot of effort behind The Conduit, but their inexperience held it back. Hopefully they'll be more able to realize their vision the second time through.

Tempted only due to the inclusion of split-screen multiplayer. If they also add bots, it'd be an insta-buy...

Don't be silly, it's a third-party Wii game. Of course it bombed.

Looks like Gamereactor had the scoop after all

I haven't really played through the 1st one, but if the 2nd one is an improvement on the 1st, then I might be there for round 2.

I really like the gameplay of The Conduit, but the game is lacking in features. With this sequel, I hope the focus is on adding features and not stuffing it with a bunch of unnecessary gameplay conventions which do nothing but break up the action. Local multiplayer doesn't matter to me, as I don't really know anyone who would play a shooter, or at least one on Wii. Online co-op sounds interesting, though.

The part about equipping upgrades sounds similar to the "perks" of Call of Duty Modern Warfare. I sincerely hope this game doesn't end up trying to emulate Modern Warfare.

I couldn't get into The Conduit. It bored me. The Grinder looked much more fun.

I agree with the 1st and last statement of this post.

Speaking the truth hurts.

Welp. the scans are out on the net now, but I for one will be picking up a copy of this Nintendo Power. http://nintendopower.com/

One image should qualify as fair use under US copyright law, so here is a picture of the four player splitscreen:

I didn't complain about it because I wanted split screen but because I know most of the Wii owners will want it.

We'll see if HVS manages to make a good game this time.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

I don't recall you saying what was wrong with the first.  Care to elaborate in the other thread?

NWR has actually been on top of their news lately. Talkback has actually been where I heard quite a bit stuff for the first time a lot over the last week or so.

Exxxcuse me Princess! I was busy at work and the link to the homepage isn't on the top of the forums anymore. I clicked on a banner ad for pennance.
