I don't think High Voltage would of let them even if they wanted to, they'd be worried Ubisoft would turn the game into Imagine: Alien Warz

It looks like Sega finally gave up and started going to outside sources to get some credible games.

How reliable is this Sega site.I think I remember them leaking the info on Sonic Unleashed.What is the truth and false ratio of the site?

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #629 on:** October 29, 2008, 01:49:13 PM »

This is real. We got the press release announcing that Sega is the publisher this morning.

I get my Sega trailers from their FTP ALL THE TIME.

Silks I take it you are going to wait till Sega or HVS makes the announcement before putting up the news, right?

The press release is the announcement.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #633 on:** October 29, 2008, 02:40:10 PM »

I see.

Sorry I didn't get that much sleep last night so if I am asking these silly questions you know why.

They've been doing that for quite awhile now, at least on other systems including the PC.

Well if Sega has to do that for better sales then it's a good business move for them. BUT then again it can backfire badly case and point the PS3 and 360 golden axe game. I think SEGA is treating the Wii as sort of like Dreamcast 2 and that's a good thing since Sega is putting its publisher muscle on Nintendo systems.

Looking good. Sega strikes me as a very good choice of publisher. Looking forward to this more than any other Wii game at the minute.

Stogi · « **Reply #638 on:** October 30, 2008, 11:50:06 AM »

Not I. While I am looking forward to finally playing a decent FPS, I can't wait for MadWorld. That game is dieing to be played.

I still don't know how they are going to use motion plus for "total control" or whatever. MotionPlus seems like something you can't just shoehorn in.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #639 on:** October 30, 2008, 12:34:32 PM »

Well they've already said that they'll add it, but it won't be a major part of the game...

As for Sega, they continue to be a better publisher than developer...They need to put some of those resources into bumping up their own ability...

Stogi · « **Reply #640 on:** October 30, 2008, 01:34:11 PM »

Own ability? pfff.....outsourcing is probably there best bet.

What surprised the heck out of me was Valkyria Chronicles. A Sega-developed RPG of all things, and it's getting really good reviews.

Okay, let me give you a strike against it: it's an SRPG! (Sorry to those that happen to love the genre

)

PRESS RELEASE: SEGA Gets Zapped by High Voltage with The Conduit

SEGA to Publish Highly Anticipated Wii Title in Spring 2009

SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SEGA® of America, Inc. and SEGA® of Europe Ltd. today announced a worldwide partnership with High Voltage Software to publish and distribute the Wii™ home video game system-exclusive title, The Conduit. The first-person shooter garnered multiple awards at E3 2008, including Best Wii Game by GameTrailers and three awards from IGN: Best Shooting Game (Wii), Best Graphics Technology (Wii) and Best Overall Wii Game. The Conduit is a stunning, futuristic title powered by a new game engine technology that delivers remarkable visuals and effects, as well as a rich interactive experience that is unlike any other title on the Wii.

“The Conduit is one of the most talked-about Wii games this year and High Voltage Software has only scratched the surface of the game in terms of what they have shown so far,” says Simon Jeffery, President of SEGA of America, Inc. “They have proven that graphical and technological innovation can be exciting to the Wii market, and SEGA is thrilled to partner with a team that truly shares our belief in the Wii’s gaming potential beyond the casual market.”

“High Voltage Software’s partnership with SEGA to publish The Conduit represents an important milestone for this studio,” said Kerry Ganofsky, CEO and founder of High Voltage Software, Inc. “SEGA shares our vision for the title and its tremendous potential, which is why we chose them from a long list of potential partners. With their support, we are confident that The Conduit will deliver the definitive shooter experience that Wii fans have been waiting for.”

The Conduit takes players into a dark story in Washington D.C. after a vicious alien invasion has rocked the country. An organization called the Trust has sent in Secret Service agent, Mr. Ford, to go up against the insect-like alien race known as “The Drudge.” Armed with an array of futuristic weaponry and an intelligence-gathering device simply called the “All-Seeing Eye,” players follow an intricate storyline filled with conspiracy, shady government activity and terrifying aliens.

The Conduit’s detailed control system allows players to customize and configure look sensitivity, turning speed, the dead zone and much more. As players delve further into the mystery behind the extraterrestrial invasion, shocking details reveal that the invasion may have been brought on with help from the government itself.

Powered by High Voltage Software’s groundbreaking Quantum 3 engine, The Conduit ensures that players will experience single and multiplayer gameplay with graphical fidelity never seen before on the Wii. The Conduit will also support the recently announced Wii Speak peripheral, allowing online multiplayer gamers the ability to chat as they destroy aliens in each terrifying level. Additionally, the game will take advantage of the Wii MotionPlus for optimal control.

The Conduit, exclusively for the Wii, is slated to ship in spring 2009. For more information on the game, please visit http://www.conduitgame.com. For screenshots and art, please visit the SEGA FTP site at http://segapr.segaamerica.com.

I'm sure I've pointed out the irony in my choice of username before.

You're not getting hell. A few people are just looking out for a new guy for once. It's rare around here, so you should enjoy it.

If you haven't already done so, read the rules. Hot linking is another way of saying "using bandwidth that is not your own."
