Wow Pale, your hitting them hard huh? Well if both these games turn out AAA quality you will be pleasantly surprised im sure.

As for me, I am eating up the Coduit and The Grinder. I am going to read a review or 2 and I do expect 9's and up all around for the Conduit, but even if the scores aren't that high I know im going to get it regardless.

The CondomUnit got a 5.0 from Nintendo Power.

It's a winner =D

Frankly, 8.0 seems unusually high for a corridor shooter. Think of all the WWII and movie shooter games that have come and gone on Nintendo systems, what were they, 2.9 at best?

I think they have a passion not found in other developers. They see the Wii and they see what we see; potential. As programmers, artists, directors and producers, they work together in the belief that there is better. So when one lonely programmer one night comes up with a great concept, they don't shun it away; they embrace it. For creativity is like the tide; you need to push off when it's at its highest.

We all need to relax and just wait to see how these games actually play, but I don't think announcing these games was a mistake, nor do I think it was prudish; simply self-fulling. They are proud of their work, and they want the world to know why. I want to know why.

Three games in a Three year period is too much for a 150+ person company? Come on.

Did it really get a 5 from NP? Or is that a joke. I'm confused!

A few weeks ago some member on gamespot made some scans of the review.Put in some information that was true at one time.Like 16 player online. Basically gave that score to prove that people only pay attention to scores and not the content of the review.I think later in the day he came forward and explained why he did that.Before he explained the "review" everybody was putting down the game.

Anyway never got around to Hunter the Reckoning so this will give me a second chance.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #57 on:** May 28, 2009, 01:33:02 AM »

I thought it got an 8 from NP

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #58 on:** May 28, 2009, 01:35:12 AM »

The Fake review got a 6.5
The real one got a 8.

If you want to discuss this go in the Conduit topic.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #59 on:** May 28, 2009, 03:17:24 AM »

If you look at the blurry scan, the 8.0 looks like a 5.0, hence the comedy.

HVS needs to keep it up they could be the next second party! i miss second party software, it really kept you into the system and it filled genre holes. Also, i've worked on shooting game mods before, changing one game into another isn't terribly hard. Oh and I really like Hunter The Reckoning...i played that at a friends house one time and had a blast, now that I know they worked on that game it sounds even more appealing.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #61 on:** May 28, 2009, 10:47:58 AM »

Why would they reveal two games now? Is it because they want to reveal them before The Conduit is released or is there a tiny chance it might be related to IT BEING ONE WEEK BEFORE E3?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #62 on:** May 28, 2009, 12:44:56 PM »

They're just trying to build attention to nab a publisher. Instead of visiting publishers first at E3, they want to establish awareness on the internet first so it's a bullet point they can talk about with publishers, then demo the actual game in person, unlike Sadness and Orb and Duke Nukem Forever.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #63 on:** May 28, 2009, 01:07:07 PM »

This one really does interest me. Much more than Gladiator.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #64 on:** May 28, 2009, 01:20:18 PM »

Gladiator is almost an instant no-sell cuz I'm reminded of Russel Crowe and his boat Tugger.

Nice to see more uses for the WiiSpeak.

I am very pumped for this game. I love L4D and was hoping for a Wii version, but this will do fine if it turns out right.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #66 on:** May 28, 2009, 07:43:50 PM »

Its rumored that L4D might be getting a expansion pack that might be announced at E3.

That seems pretty unlikely, given Valve's long history of releasing massive amounts of content for free post-release. An expansion pack would really have to change things up a lot to warrant any kind of price tag, me thinks.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #68 on:** May 28, 2009, 08:07:07 PM »

Just a rumor, but it could just be some DLC. It was something about 4 new characters in different parts of the same environments at the same time with a few new weapons & a new boss.
Don't know if its true or not, but something to look out for next week.

Stratos · « **Reply #69 on:** May 28, 2009, 08:09:18 PM »

more characters would be cool. Also guns and whole levels. I want it all in L4D.

Though sadly the internet cafe my friend and I went to to play it got shut down. Since my computer can't run it that's my only option currently. That's another reason I'm happy for Grinders.

With the Survival Pack having just been released, I wouldn't hope for anything too solid to manifest. New environments will definitely come at some point (whether from Valve or elsewhere, now that the SDK is in an open beta state). I wouldn't rule out new monsters and weapons either. I can't really see new characters however. The current characters don't really play a huge role, as there is little story. Furthermore, the developer commentary goes into quite a bit of detail concerning just how they worked the silhouettes of each character to stand out against the hordes. If anything, they need to revert Francis back to how he looked in the early screenshots... y'know, cool.

Anyway, back to the GRINDER. The (early) trailer looked pretty damn good.

I liked Hunter...

On a slightly related note, a friend of mine hosts pen and paper Hunter games and he's convinced me to join. It might give me an idea of what HVS is planning to do with this game.

Looks pretty nice in motion. Did they say if it would be playable @ E3?
