oh it was. But it wasn't a shooter in the same respects as most FPSes.

You also forget FAR CRY. Sorry but someone had to bring it up before Kairon.

I actually liked COD3, and was very pissed about COD4 not coming to Wii even though the DS got it.

New Screens! http://www.livewii.fr/news/97893/De-nouvelles-images-de-The-Conduit.html?c=7

This game is important because it addresses a void in the library.

The WWII shooter genre is not that void.

animecyberrat · « **Reply #129 on:** June 11, 2008, 07:06:46 PM »

Well I am certainly looking forward to it.

I think I'm the only person in the world who thinks the Spas 12 is ugly. But that's okay, because they chose the kurz version of the mp5.

Needs the Winnley Magnum.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #132 on:** June 11, 2008, 09:54:31 PM »

the resolution the new screens are in indicates non-bullshots.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #133 on:** June 11, 2008, 10:22:00 PM »

They have my approval.

Ewww, they need to de-uglify those particle effects, they make the game look like UT '99.

Smoke39 · « **Reply #136 on:** June 12, 2008, 03:48:36 AM »

They need to de-uglify everything if you ask me. :/ Their lighting is too harsh, and their fancy normal mapping seems to be at the expense of texture quality.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #137 on:** June 12, 2008, 01:32:23 PM »

This screen reminds me of Goldeneye

EasyCure · « **Reply #138 on:** June 12, 2008, 06:50:33 PM »

WOW that really does look like goldeneye...

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #139 on:** June 12, 2008, 07:04:40 PM »

I just noticed something. In the shot with the file cabinets, the door texture is upside down on the unopened ones.

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #140 on:** June 13, 2008, 04:05:34 AM »

Reminds me hardcore of Perfect Dark, which is easily my favorite console shooter.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #141 on:** June 13, 2008, 02:07:29 PM »

That pistol is a Walther PPK, right? If so, it's no surprise that looks like a James Bond game with the suit sleeves and the golden watch.

That reminds me, I went back and played Chronciles of Riddick again on the Xbox. I had not realized how horrible the textures are in that game. The polygon jitters were obvious from the beginning though. Maybe normal mapping is over rated...?

It looks like it has a flatter top than a PPK to me, but I'm no gun expert. It reminds me of what a generic .45 tends to look like in a lot of video games.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #144 on:** June 13, 2008, 02:38:57 PM »

Nah, a PPK is much smaller...I'd say a USP, at least based on the placement of the laser sight...

ShyGuy · « **Reply #145 on:** June 13, 2008, 02:48:42 PM »

Compare those hands to the ones in Alone in the Dark Wii. If you're going to put some effort and polish up ANY part of the game, doesn't it make sense to put the most effort into the things the player will constantly see closeup?

I'd blame the consoles, normalmapping is perfectly sharp on the PC.

Shy: Yep, the alien weapon thing has a very low-res texture for something that's seen up close. Though maybe it's a placeholder, using the 3rd person versin until they finish the first-person one...

EasyCure · « **Reply #147 on:** June 13, 2008, 03:41:02 PM »

thats disgusting..

ShyGuy · « **Reply #148 on:** June 13, 2008, 04:18:39 PM »

Four new screens: http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/photos/the-conduit/

I'm becoming obsessed with this game

KDR_11k · « **Reply #149 on:** June 13, 2008, 04:33:30 PM »

I think sci fi like Doom 3 lends itself better to normalmapping than realistic scenes.
