first of all, people keep saying, ill get it if its not M. We have already been over this guys, sorry, but it is M

second of all yes, i kinda over reacted to how bad the pictures were, halo 2 does put it nicely, but not like halo 2 cut scenes, more like halo 2 when you are in a dark area.

What's the deal with the lack of Super Smash 64 on the wii shop channel. No, instead we get stuff like SnowBoard 180!

I'm getting this game not for the graphics but for the fact that I will be playing this game with my friends, & so far the game looks like it will give us a very fun time!! So I think that's a good enough reason for me to get it!!

But of course I would like the game to have the best graphics that it can & I think HighVoltage is making that happen!!

Thats a good question. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think they advertise the game and put it on the market. They also take around 70% of the royalties from the game.

I hope Nintendo is the publisher but it might not be because they said it wouldn't use friend codes, unless Nintendo is switching to a new online system starting with The Conduit.

Here's the article text
"It seems that High Voltage and the publisher have worked out a deal so that when the Conduit is finished and released a sequel will be worked on.

More details concerning the game have been released.

The game will have a Movable UI interface which means you can move grenade icons, weapon readouts and anything else on screen to a location that won't bother you.

High Voltage has got LAN working on the game with upto 12 players connected and they are hoping to reach 16 players.

Online modes include:
Standard deathmatch
Team deathmatch
Capture the Flag

High Voltage does want to add more modes.

High Voltage has only played online with 13 people connected but also wants 16 for this. No lag has been reported and framerate stays continuous.

High Voltage will be getting their development kits this September for WiiSpeak and MotionPlus to attempt to put in the game.

High Voltage might support Balance Board and are thinking about it.

High Voltage don't know if WiiSpeak will be added after all.

Splitscreen multiplayer probably won't happen as High Voltage believe they might not have enough time to put it in the game. "

Ok This is turning out to be awesome even though they are canceling splitscreen multiplay which is tough when pointing at the screen especially on a tiny screen.
But the Lan Play
Awesome
Online multiplayer seems to be great and Voice chat is great but sometimes unused option
GREAT IDEA
THEY SHOULD USE SOME OF THE GAMEPLAY MODE FROM BATTLEFIELD SEIRIES AND TIMESPLITTERS2 (TITAN AND CONQUEST ANYONE)

I don't mind that they took out splitscreen because like they said, it would be hard for people to point the remotes at a small screen. But LAN play is awesome.

i didn't think split screen multiplayer would be a good idea for any wii fps

And that's my two cents

Here is as lot of info on The Conduit. Some good and bad news (friend codes).

No DLC planned for The Conduit, may be available in sequel

“We are working very closely with Nintendo. We’re looking at some possibilities and some options. If we have to use friend codes, which, you know, we probably will…I’ll just say that and make that admission right now…But we’re going to make it as streamlined and as fast as possible…Every time Nintendo has come out with a new multiplayer game, which you’ll notice, other than EA, Nintendo first-party games are the only ones that have multiplayer…Every time they’ve done that, there have been small improvements to the system and, you know, we’re going to try and build up on that as well and work with them to make it even more improved than it has been in the past. I mean we definitely want gamers to know that we’re not completely all hyped up about friend codes, especially in the first iterations of games that it was used in and we are definitely interested in getting the best online experience you can get. We’re not by any means fans of friend codes…We’re looking at every possible option we can possibly have to just get you guys online and playing games with friends as fast as possible.”

“Folks have to realistically understand it’s Nintendo’s system, it’s their console. We have to have their permission and their signoff for whatever we put into the game. And if friend codes are what it is, that’s what it’s gonna be…”

Rob Nicholls from High Voltage Software, in an audio interview with Nintendo Radio, revealed that there are no plans to make DLC available in The Conduit. It was explained that the decision was partially due to the fact that the Wii is very limited from a storage standpoint. However, Nicholls also added that although DLC will be absent from the first game, High Voltage would consider it for the sequel (most likely if Nintendo created a storage solution at that point.)

Here are some more important points from the interview, some of which we’ve heard about before:

- The Conduit’s control scheme partially based on Metroid, Medal of Honor
- Gimmicky Wii waggle is limited because they didn’t want to disrupt the pacing of the game - Other ideas concerning waggle are a “little more out there,” might be considered for the sequel
- Trying to get a lot of “Oh my God” moments in the game, things you wouldn’t expect
- If you want, you can pay attention to the story or just ignore it
- Definitely looking into WiiSpeak and MotionPlus - Will only incorporate them they aren’t afterthoughts
- If the developers have to use friend codes (and they admit they will probably have to), they will make it as streamlined and fast as possible. Still looking at every possible option.
- 3 types of weapons: Alien weapons, human weapons, weapons you get from Trust
- Once again, can’t do splitscreen with the graphics-level (Developers weren’t trying to tick off gamers. Rendering has to be displayed with different angles two times.) Will look into it in the future. Looking into some types of co-op play. Possibly come up with a seperate co-op mode (not the story mode)
- Have not started a second Conduit. Sequel a part of negotiations with publisher

Yeah that kinda sucks, I was really hoping that didn't happen. Although this does make me think that maybe Nintendo is going to be the publisher, which may not be a bad thing. If the friendcodes are gonna be in it anyways, then Nintendo could definitely provide the advertising push that the Conduit needs to be a best-seller, which I'm pretty certain it could and should be. The first game isn't even out yet and I'm hoping for a sequel. One thing they need to stop doing though is saying things are gonna be in the game that arent. It really annoying. When you're sure, announce it. If you're not, then keep your mouth shut and don't build our hopes too high.

I think it would be a good idea to have a Conduit channel like they did with Mariokart.
