A couple of weeks back, we were shown a number of screens showing off the visuals of a new Wii exclusive FPS. That FPS was The Conduit and it caused quite a stir on the ‘net with its visuals that look absolutely stunning on the Wii. Then we were shown a tech demo of High Voltage’s Quantum3 Engine which had people even more surprised at how good it was looking. But many remained skeptical about The Conduit because often times games look a lot better in screens then they do in motion. But now My Wii News is bringing you a trailer of The Conduit to shut those skeptical guys up and prove once and for all that if a third-party developer actually tries, they can make a top quality title on the Wii.
The trailer shows off some footage of the games first person action and pace as the main character uses a couple of different guns including the SCAR rifle and an awesome looking pistol. Throughout the trailer you will feel like the game has a hint of mystery similar to Bioshock, with the narrator speaking in the beginning and the indoor environments and gameplay seeming like they came from Bioshock as well. The game seems to be taking great shape and it’s definitely a game that all Wii owners should be following.
Check out the Trailer and if your interested in the game leave a comment below. Keep checking back to My Wii News for more Conduit and Wii info.
High Voltage Software, the developers of the anticipated FP, The Conduit, are now Introducing a new WiiWare project that is set to break graphical gound on Nintendo’s Download service. Last week we saw a demo of High Voltage’s new 3D engine designed specifically for the Wii. The new engine shows off what the Wii can do graphically and it looks just as good, if not better, then Nintendo’s first-party games. High Voltage Software is attempting to capitalize on the Wii’s strength and create content-filled software for the Wii’s “hardcore” gaming crowd.
Gyrostarr is a four player “sci-fi” shooter that was designed from the ground up for Nintendo’s WiiWare service. The game is definitely the best looking WiiWare game so far and is even looks better then many Wii retail games. Whoa!
According to High Voltage, “Gyrostarr challenges you and up to 3 other players to fly through a twisting, turning techno-plasma canal in space, collecting energy to penetrate an alien portal and warp to the next conduit. Without enough energy the space vessels will smash head-first into an unforgiving anti-void.” High Voltage also stated that each track is guarded by enemies who try to kill you and feast on your collectible energy. Gyrostarr will also feature a number of power ups, some of which include a triple shot, telsa shot, lightning shot, and charged shot. Amazingly, Gyrostarr will include up to 50 different levels in a file size that is less then 40 megabytes.
Gryostarr will run in both 480p and 16:9 wide screen mode and will be available on WiiWare for a mere price of 700 Wii points. Check out the trailer below and keep checking back to My Wii News for more of the latest Wii Info!
