Interview.  Wii Motion + support. Yay!


Another pretty wii title from HVS.  And this is looks to even outshine the conduit.

[DAaaMan64]

wow. Are they gonna slow it down a bit? I mean, they are really risking it all on Wii. WTF.

Not that I mind.

[Spinnzilla]

Well it still have about a year at least before releasing.  They said they were shooting for a 2010 Q1 release.

I didn't see any images, but you think that was what the secret game pic was from?
I posted a photoshopped cleaned up version of the pic that seems to fit the title perfectly.

let me go dig it up.

edit:

here is a pic that most closely resembles what I think I could see

I used the CSI image processing technology. 

[Dirk Temporo]

Yes it's the same game. The picture that was cleaned up is concept art that matches one of the in-game shots on IGN.

This sounds awesome.

I didn't see any any images at teh IGN link. can you post a link to them?

edit:
Nevermind, FF wouldn't show them so I had to switch my rendering engine to IE
anyway, heres the direct link to the pics for those interested:

I'm not all that interested in this. I guess I need to see more, but so far the descriptions don't grab me. But its me, not the game.

Sounds pretty yawn worthy, though I could still be sour from shitty Rygar.

Sounds like Nick enjoys being the flame bait haha. I'm still not sold on HVS due to their inconsistencies, however it's awesome that they are putting in a lot of effort on their big original titles. For some reason I wish that HVS makes another Hunter: The Reckoning.

Did HVS really make the Hunter games? I liked the GC one a lot. May have been a bit shallow but with a few friends it was a blast.

The game looks cool. I dig it.

I'm especially excited to see how they use M+ with it.

We are implementing a split-screen mode for multiplayer. We currently have it running in either horizontal or vertical configuration for player customization.

Looks like Excite multiplayer haters will not have to be stuck with a wonky split screen.

[NWR_Neal]

After scouring the interview to write up an article based on it (should be up soon. someone please edit), it looks like it could be pretty good on paper. Kind of like that Lucasarts game Gladius, but with less RPG stuff.

I'm interested to see how the combat works with the controls and to see if each character's story is actually good.

Every big thing HVS plans to do sounds great on paper, but we still haven't seen a finished product. I'll be considerably more excited for this game if I like The Conduit a lot.

[Flames_of_chaos]

Is it me or do the arms in those pics look horribly wrong.

[Stratos]

I see what you mean, but I think it is from perspective.

[ShyGuy]

That CSI cleanup technology is pretty accurate.

[BlackNMild2k1]

And everybody thought that tech was just some tv magic...   shows what they know

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

uhhhhhh cleanup?  or rather someone with smarts just knew how to search for pictures of game artwork on google?

[jakeOSX]

if this is done like soul caliber or tekken i think it could be interesting. the picture looks too linear, which i am hoping is just a issue with the camera angle.

i was a H:TR fanatic (the paper game). I own all of the games, but only played the GC version (lol, no xbox or ps2). good games, but really didn't have much to do with the paper game.

[jakeOSX]

oh and

It's just a flesh wound!!

[Pale]

This looks about as interesting to me as a hole in the wall... maybe I'll be surprised.

But it's got blood mirite?

It's supposed to be an over-the-shoulder camera so you more easily relate to the Wii+chuck motion combat, so it's definitely not a last-gen 2D plane fighter.

State sponsored murder gaming FTW.

[DAaaMan64]

Glad that it's over the shoulder, that only makes sense. Thats how I want to see dynamic slash and flash light games.

[BlackNMild2k1]

It really depends on where that hole in the wall is, as lots of gloryous things can happen with a hole in the wall, some of which really might surprise you.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

It's apparent this game is what their engine demo was really trying to showcase, not The CondomUnit.  All the roman junk and architecture was already there for a reason.

Such as a green-headed Genie in Peewee's Playhouse.

[jakeOSX]

flesh wound? anyone? bueler?

over the shoulder eh?

you think that you will get more points for drawing the fight out, rather than quick kills, like you know, real gladiator stuff?
