High Voltage Software has unveiled abrand new first-person shooter for Wii called The Conduit and is aimingto make the best looking game on Wii.
Quote:
"Mostof the games on the Wii look like crap. We want to change that, sowe've invested heavily in our Wii tech over the past year," said CEOKerry Ganofsky in an interview with IGN.
The upcoming Wii gameThe Conduit takes place in the present day, where Washington findsitself at the centre of an extraterrestrial attack. Taking on the roleof Agent Ford, players must get to the heart of the invasion whilstfighting aliens off in standard shooter fashion.
High VoltageSoftware's previous work, including 50 Cent: Bulletproof and LeisureSuit Larry: Magna Cum Laude, isn't known for ground-breaking graphics.Nevertheless, Ganofsky hopes that The Conduit will both change thatperception and show more traditional games can be successful on Wii.
"There is this pervasive and cyclical argument that Wii consumers don'twant mature titles, when there aren't those types of products availableto them," said Ganofsky. "And even more frustrating is the claim thatWii consumers only care about great gameplay.
"Of course theycare about gameplay, but we believe if given the choice, they wouldwant great graphics as well. It's just a cop out. With Conduit, we aretrying to make a Wii game that looks like a 360 title."
