so has it been CONFIRMED this was changed from a FPS for wii? When i first read the news (elsewhere) it looks like the confirmation was for PS360 versions only..

MegaByte · « **Reply #226 on:** March 20, 2010, 03:01:46 PM »

No. Check out our interview-- it's all up in the air right now.

If they are actually developing The Conduit 2, then I could see this game no longer being an FPS.

I don't see why it couldn't work..

Assuming they wouldn't release both games within the same time frame, both games would would sell decently. The Conduit 2 would have another solo campaign with hopefully more robust online multiplayer set-up, but still be missing locol multi. Grinder would be much more multiplayer oriented with local and online multiplayer.

Maybe thats just me though.

I was thinking more like they may not want to work on two first-person shooters at one time, and instead create something a little different. That would then be three shooters total, so they may want a résumé that's a little more diverse. They could probably use some of what they had for The Conduit 2. I wouldn't mind if both were released since they seem different enough, but if The Conduit 2 happens then I wouldn't be surprised if The Grinder changes.

I want The Grinder FPS that we were shown and The Grinder "hunter" style game too.

HVS could be known for being the Nintendo FPS machine and once they are known for having good--->great FPS games under their belt, then all they have to do is keep up the quality.

The Conduit wasn't what everyone was hoping, but The Grinder seemed to be addressing some if not all of those issues (local multi, a little less generic, motion plus support) and it was gonna be more Grindhouse with Classic horror monsters, so there was no going wrong there. The conduit 2 (which would likely come out after The Grinder) could use the tweaks to the engine they made to allow 2-4 player local multi and simultaneous multi-online play and everyone would have been happy.

Of course this would of course be followed up with The Grinder "Hunter" sequel version released on all 3 consoles and add some variety to an already known (on the Wii) franchise.

I see nothing but a winning strategy here, I hope HVS is listening.

I was thinking. If they're completely switching down to the top down gameplay, why not pull a capcom? Why not give use a bite sized 2D version of the game on DSiware? In the same tone has Dracula: Undead Awakening but with more characters and weapons?

Hope springs eternal!

The Grinder Wii is still an FPS

Awesome! If The Grinder comes out this year, I'm in trouble. I might actually have too much to play on the Wii.

I was actually coming in to report that news. Sounds good to me. But I couldn't even get out of the 2nd level of the conduit. I sure hope this is way better.

Right now, the 360 Grinder release is set for Halloween 2011.

Dude, that is SAD. Guardian setting is rather cake. You sure you're playing these First Person Wiiner games correctly?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #237 on:** March 30, 2010, 05:54:23 PM »

I hope the Q&A with NWR (my questions specifically) had some influence over that decision. I will be purchasing this game and the top-down version(should it come to Wii) when they release.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #238 on:** March 30, 2010, 05:55:31 PM »

So, for once, the Wii is getting the original, full version of the game and the other consoles are getting the smaller, scaled-back spin-off.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #239 on:** March 30, 2010, 06:18:26 PM »

Oh, thank goodness. I can skip Conduit 2 this way.

Not keen on more SyFy weapons with faceless soldiers with extended health. Tough monsters are more appropriate.

Stratos · « **Reply #240 on:** March 31, 2010, 02:49:54 AM »

I've actually decided that I want both versions on Wii like BnM has asked. I hope we do get both as both would fill gaps in the Wii's lineup. FPS support is getting better, but we don't have any top down gauntlet-esque games.

Mop it up · « **Reply #241 on:** March 31, 2010, 03:14:06 AM »

I guess it's good that it is still going to be a shooter, because the Wii could use more shooters that aren't war games. I'll wait and see how it ends up, it could be interesting.

Stratos · « **Reply #242 on:** March 31, 2010, 03:18:16 AM »

At the very least we have reassurance of one new FPS that includes WiiSpeak and local multi.

Mop it up · « **Reply #243 on:** March 31, 2010, 03:25:03 AM »

I want reassurance that there can be a combination of friends and randoms.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #244 on:** June 27, 2011, 05:51:56 PM »

::fingers crossed:: that this becomes a WiiU launch title.

It's probably too late to throw it to the Wii. Save it for the U instead.

Can some NWR staff member contact HVS and see what's up with this game coming to WiiU now that The Conduit 2 is already out.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #245 on:** June 27, 2011, 06:01:49 PM »

ooh that would be awesome. They talked about putting the Conduit engine on the 3DS too.

MegaByte · « **Reply #246 on:** June 27, 2011, 10:47:42 PM »

Conduit's engine is already on 3DS (see my impressions from GDC). At that time, they were still looking for a publisher before going further with development on The Grinder. They had a meeting room at E3 undoubtedly partially for that purpose, but I don't know the results.

well ****, the more luanch titles the better, they better update the assets though.
