Alot of people out there dont know much about the epic game "The Conduit".Many have asked these questions multiple times:
"When does it come out?"
"What type of game is it?"
"Whats the online like?"
"Single player?"
"Did it find a publisher yet?"
"What accesories is it compatible with?"
"Whats the story?"
Well,i am going to answer those questions here (in the order i listed them)
"When does it come out?"
It is scheduled to come out March 2009
"What type of game is it?"
It is an FPS (First Person Shooter)
"Whats the online like?"
It has 3 multiplayer modes that we know of so far:
1)Deathmatch
2)Team Deathmatch
3)CTF (Capture the Flag)
It has 16 player online (supposedly they are trying to increase that number)and LAN multiplayer (Local Area Network)is in the making
"Single player?"
The single-player campaign mode of The Conduit will consist of nine missions.The story will be told primarily through cutscenes between missions, but television and radio broadcasts will also be scattered across a mission area for the player to seek out. These broadcasts are unnecessary to fully understand the story, but provide background information that supplements the overall plot. In addition, as the player explores the game more subtle clues in the environment, such as a precisely placed object in a certain historical location, can be discovered which are meant to provoke questions about elements of the story. The intention of this was to reward players who want to explore and understand more of the story, while not taking away from the experience for other players who only want to complete the game.
"Did it find a publisher yet?"
Yes,it did."The Conduit's" publisher is Sega
"What accesories is it compatible with?"
It will use the
Wii Speak,and the new
Wii Motion Plus
"Whats the story?"
The Conduit takes place in the near future, as Washington, D.C. is shaken by several tragic and unusual incidents. A mysterious flu-like virus known as "the Bug" has swept through the region, resulting in high-security locations being left understaffed as government workers stay home to try to avoid catching the disease. Months after the initial outbreak, an alleged terrorist attack destroys part of the Washington Monument, and only weeks afterwards on September 11, a presidential candidate is assassinated by another possible terrorist cell disguised as her Secret Service detail, greatly heightening local and national tensions. Following these alarming events, a secretive organization known as the Trust realizes that the capital has become the epicenter for an extraterrestrial attack by an alien race identified as the Drudge. Sent to stop the onslaught, Trust agent Mr. Ford must overcome the onslaught of the Drudge and the virus-infected humans under the Drudge's control, as well as a group of traitorous Trust agents that actively support the invasion.
I hope this thread helped shed some light on the people who didnt know much about it.I will update it when an update comes to the game as well (For example,a specific release date or more multiplayer features)
My source for all of this was wikipedia,but i also knew alot of this stuff as well.
And yes,its a
Wii-exclusive title.
