Topic: The Conduit

[Morari]

Please, N64 doesn't count. If it does, I'm going to start complaining that Conduit doesn't include a 2D 16bit fighting game.

Why shouldn't it count?  Did split screen become obsolete somewhere along the way as console generations advanced?  Did people stop wanting to play in the same room together (without having to set up a LAN)?

If part of the "core" audience they are aiming for is the core than has stuck with Nintendo over the years, well split screen is how pretty much everyone had to play multiplayer FPS' on Nintendo systems until the Wii. It's what many of us are used to and would still prefer to have the option to do (rather than having to send my friend elsewhere just so I can play against him as would happen with online).

Actually, split-screen first person shooters were always obsolete. DooM had LAN play over a decade ago, which is far superior regardless of system. The entire point of The Conduit is to have a nice looking game anyway, which is hard to do when processing two or four different screens at once.

LAN may have been around for a long time, but it is still inherently limiting when it comes to multiplayer play (i.e. set up, etc.).  As for the entire point of The Conduit, I would hope it would be to have a good game, not just a nice looking game. Anyway, there should be little reason for split screen modes to keep them from having a nice looking game in the other modes.

Sure, cut the framerate in half and time-warp yourselves back to the golden days of N64 framerates.

LAN may be superior but when we're going superior why not just put the whole game on the PC?

Splitscreen makes sense on a console because the system gets used when friends are over without much preparation, that means you have one, at most two systems. You aren't going to play with two players when you could instead play another game that would support four if you have many people over.

[DAaaMan64]

Yes. I agree KDR.

I emailed them about this, I would recommend you do the same.

I haven't received a response yet. But whatever, do your part!

Even if the graphics were cut for the splitscreen mode, I would still expect at least GameCube level graphics if not better (since the rest of the game is supposed to be beyond what we've seen so far on the Wii graphics-wise).

Thanks for the e-mail address, I shall send them feedback!

Thanks Meteo. Yes please drop them an email.

Thank you, your fix is much better. I'll fix my post above.

Everybody with friends disagrees with you.

[EasyCure]

why the hell does everyone stil raggs on FC's?

[DAaaMan64]

cause they don't denote easy use, or have very full communication even when they are used.  It's very disenchanting to enter them and use them. etc

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Brawl is still plenty of fun.
Kart is still plenty of fun.

[DAaaMan64]

Brawl is still plenty of fun.
Kart is still plenty of fun.

but it could be significantly better and more competitive.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Adding features/functions would be significant.
Removing friend codes would not be significant, as it's only a mild price of entry.

Ya well it's a shitty seasoning on a great steak.

[Urkel]

This is why Nintendo uses friend codes.

[DAaaMan64]

Needs parental controls. I'll fix any mother that stands in my way.

[NWR_insanolord]

You have to remember that there is a pretty good reason for friend codes in this game, namely voice chat via WiiSpeak.

Or it could be like XBL where you can talk to ANYONE, not just people on your friends list.

Oh wait, that would make sense.

[NWR_insanolord]

I have no desire to voice chat with random morons.

[Dirk Temporo]

And because you don't, it means nobody does.

[NWR_insanolord]

In a perfect world, yes, but that's not what I said.

[ShyGuy]

Maybe if we're lucky, we'll get video chat for the Wii.

Well I do. I enjoy chatting with random morons in several games. Such as Team Fortress.
