The Conduit has Online Multiplayer!

Phahtrox: Wow, I'm really happy about this news. I kinda thought that it was going to have it anyway because of the "death match confirmed"...But just to actually hear the sweet sounds of the severs buzzing around this... And then saying that the game will game graphics of games from the beginning of the 360 age...sweet...

High Voltage Software's The Conduit is a stunning first-person action shooter that promises to provide some of the best visuals seen to date on Nintendo's Wii gaming console.

Using their proprietary Quantum 3 Game Engine technology, the team at High Voltage Software is fusing fast and fluid gameplay with an advanced set of visuals intended to squarely establish the Wii as a true next-generation gaming platform. The first-person shooter boasts a competitive online multiplayer component and a thrilling single-player campaign. Advanced graphical features include dynamic environment mapping, interactive water with real-time reflection, and four-stage texture composition including gloss, diffuse, and bump mapping.

"Too many Wii owners have been told that the Wii is a casual platform with no room for serious games or top-tier graphics," said Eric Nofsinger, Chief Creative Officer at High Voltage Software. "With The Conduit, we intend to prove that theory wrong by providing gamers with the kind of title they imagined back when the platform was first announced."

Featuring terrifying alien creatures, an advanced Artificial Intelligence System, and a rich, conspiracy-laden story, The Conduit has more than a pretty face. "The Wii has tremendous potential," said Kerry J. Ganofsky, CEO and founder of High Voltage Software. "We've invested heavily in our technology to make certain that potential is realized with The Conduit."

The Conduit's control scheme was carefully designed from the ground up with the Wii in mind, as were each of the weapons in the extensive armory, providing gameplay not possible on other platforms. As Secret Service Agent Ford, you must learn to master each of these weapons as well as the special "All Seeing Eye" device to defeat enemies, solve puzzles, and unravel the game's mysteries.

"Conduit was especially designed for the Nintendo Wii" states Matt Corso, Creative Director at High Voltage Software. "From the weapons to armory and graphics, we tailored everything to the Wii which sets this game play apart from anything else on the market right now."

The Conduit is currently scheduled for Q1 2009 release.

Yea! I'm so happy.

Brothers in Arms, Finished

Ubisoft says they are done making Brothers in Arms.

Phahtrox: About time...

It's a retelling about the first two games...

Phahtrox: But remember, that the controls prolly have been upgraded...

“I think you can tell a good story in any setting and a lot of people actually really love World War II. I think the fatigue comes from games and products that don’t take seriously the historical significance of what went on and use it as a backdrop for random action. That’s not what we’re doing.

We’re not just taking a World War II time period and creating a game inside of it; we’re looking at history, we’re saying what was compelling about history to people that want to relive it. We’re putting you in the shoes of real soldiers in real situations, with real historical figures. But it’s an historical fiction as well; Matt Baker wasn’t an actual person, but he’s going to pump into people like the commander of the 507 and you’re going to see these figures and what actually happened to them.”

OK...Sounds cool.

International Track and Field DS Is Going to Have "Super Online Services"?

So news has arisen for the game "International Track and Field DS", giving players a taste of server based gameplay(I mean better than Nintedo's).

“With competition at the heart of New International Track and Field, the European developed game offers a stunning online element that throws it open to players all over the globe. Using the Nintendo DS Wi-Fi connection, players can link into a server that constantly updates the World Records as and when they are broken. Global high scores and world rankings are instantly logged and players are kept updated via an innovative News Feed service and regular messaging. Likewise, it is also possible for friends to send predefined messages to each other, ranging from congratulations to taunts when a record is smashed!”

Phahtrox: Thought the name itself does not get my attention, I'm now looking forward to it now, just a little anyway...

Another cool thing is that you can unlock characters by going and signing up at the site.
