But Halo and Golden Eye were more popular. Sure, the FPS hardcore denounced them as crummy games for non-gamers but in the end the market loved them.

Yeah, the keyword is "accessibility," but that definitely doesn't need to have any baring on the quality of a title, nor what it encompasses...

Nah Halo all I ever did was charge someone with the assault rifle and punch 'em when I got close enough. Or run 'em over with the Warthog.

Did other games influence some of the gameplay elements in The Conduit?

Certainly Halo and Golden Eye were big influences for their brilliant accessibility.

I really want to want this game. However, they are missing out on a large part of the "brilliant accessibility": local multiplayer. This is pretty much a dealbreaker for me (it also kept me from getting that Medal of Honor game).

I really want to have a good fps on the Wii. I played a lot of Golden Eye and Perfect Dark, amongst others. I rarely played the single player modes though, it was generally all multiplayer matches (or some co-op when available). Online is great and all, but I first want to be able to play against people I know, in the room with me (just like in Golden Eye, etc.), or even better, local players in the same room against others online. LAN helps a little, but doesn't do much good without another television, etc. Without local multiplayer they are missing out on a huge part of the accessibility of the classics.

Hello Meteo, welcome. Did you play Medal of Honor: Vanguard on the Wii?  it has 4 player splitscreen death match. I enjoyed the single player games as well.

Welcome to the forums Meteo.
In the past I didn't like FPS other than Turok 2. I played Medal of Honor:Frontline on the GC and didn't like the controls. I didn't pick up a FPS till Red Steel. It made more sense to point and shot than messing around with past controls.The FPS and TPS that I have now are Red Steel,RE4:Wii Edition, Metroid Prime 3. I recently got MP2 and I can still play using those because the Prime series has good controls compared to the GC Medal of Honor games. I plan on picking up COD:World at War and of course The Conduit.

Yes I was born in Montgomery Alabama and moved to California when I was 4. I have been in California since. I am 28 now.
Fps and sports games are probably my least liked genre but Wii makes them shine.

What can we expect in terms of multiplayer? Offline multiplayer? Online or perhaps LAN(linked system)?

Our plan is to deliver a solid multiplayer experience both online and LAN.

It's what it doesn't say.

Welcome DungeonO, I hope you stay awhile.

The Conduit is probably my most wanted 2009 game.

Thanks!  I'm a regular over at IGN, but I'm getting a tad bit sick of the moderators there, so I decided to come back here (I used to lurk the PlanetGameCube boards.  Goodness, I remember wayyy back when Billy left PGC)

Anywho, the game looks very solid, and it is so refreshing to see a dev actually take a chance on the Wii.

Maybe they want to do some things where what one player sees must be hidden from the others... Or maybe that whole advanced engine thing doesn't lend itself to splitscreen well (increased rendering load).

Fewer games these days allow split-screen multiplayer...It's a rather scary direction the industry is headed... =(

So do what everyone else does, remove stuff so it does run!  LAN is great when you have 8 people, 2 consoles and 2 tvs!

Depending on how the game is designed the "stuff" you have to remove could very well be half the game.
