An in-depth interview with Chief Creative Officer, Eric Nofsinger of the Conduit gives us a taste of what angle the team is taking, and why they feel the need to create such a large FPS project.

“I don’t think it has to be one or the other, and I think that Wii owners deserve to have games with better graphics. They deserve to have games that are made for them, not just for casual gamers. And to be clear, I think that it’s wonderful that the Wii is attracting a broader audience…

…But I don’t want to forget about us. I don’t want my Wii to gather dust for me or my friends. I don’t want to be in the situation where there’s such a gap that when I go to buy a product, if it’s available on the Wii and on the 360, I don’t want to be in a situation where I have to go, “Well, I’m going to get it on a 360.” I want to look at it and go, “Well, the graphics are pretty darn good on that still, and the control is a lot better on that.”

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…High Voltage Software has truly earned my respect as a gamer. Not just because I’m an all around “hardcore” player excited about a new game, but the simple fact that this third party realizes the massive amount of shovelware plaguing the Wii, and is doing something about it.
