PAX 2008 has officially hit the west coast. As mentioned a few weeks back, High Voltage Software is planning on taking full advantage of the public event by showcasing the newest build of The Conduit. Though the demo shown is old news, Gamespot UK managed to squeeze the following bit of unexpected news out of the team.
High Voltage does plan to support Wii Motion Plus add-on so we will have to see later how that will work.
Nice! I’ve said it time and time again…High Voltage Software earns an applause from Wii owners due to their firm development dedication. You have these amazing devs like High Voltage who will implement a piece of hardware announced just a mere seven weeks ago. On the flip side you have AAA publishers such as Lucasarts who will complain about not knowing any info on Motion Plus, and fail to use the device in software that would truly enhance the gameplay.
More details on this news coming soon.
To be fair to Lucasarts, they would have to rebuild The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels essentially from scratch to get the game they originally wanted. High Voltage will most likely be using the Motion Plus to fine tune their motion-sensing controls but not change anything drastically. Apples and oranges.
“High Voltage Software earns an applause from Wii owners due to their firm development dedication. ”
Very well said.
More good news for this game, hope it turns out to be great.
…And on the other flipside you have Capcom. Who kinda suck.
‘Nuff said.
It justs keep getting better every single day.
As we can see, High Voltage is in time to implement the Wii Motion Plus, but Lucas Arts doesn’t, they prefer to sell now instead reprogramming all the game from zero.
Maybe a smart move, maybe not.
Hopefully this game will make tons of money for them. And even more hopefully, maybe afterwards they’ll try their hand on other genres. They really seem to love what they do, and also love the Wii.
I heard the game was going to utilize virtual reality as well!!
LOL lucas fire almost every one that’s why they can’t put motion plus in there. I have friends that are laughing at them right now! Serves Lucas right!
I believe Ubisoft may beat them to the sword fighting punch which would be sad for them.

dang people, maybe i am too late to correct some things.
Arent the star wars games coming out this year? They shouldnt delay it 6+ months just for motion plus. They should give us a good game now, and make a sequel for early 2010 using the clone wars engine to save time. Refine the motion, fighting, balance. Usual sequel stuff. Releasing a game now is financially better for them, and if they can get feedback, thats better for us as long as we can have fun with the game now and its sequel later.
As far as high voltage goes, why do yall choose to misinterpret their words.
I have seen the same quote twice now, and it sounds out of context. but even in that context, all it means is that as a company they will evaluate it, like every other company is doing, and see if they can integrate it into their game in time for release, and with suficient quality and make it fit the needs of the game.
This does not say they are sure to put it in conduit, and knowing, as we all should, that they have repeated just recently and many times before, there interest in releasing in march, and WM+ not releasing til spring, 1-3 months later then the conduit, i do not see the worth of them delaying the game longer for something that will not benefit an fps a great deal.
WM+ would benefit Metroid because of its adventuring aspect, but not an fps.
I believe they mean they are evaluating it as a company for whatever product may come down the line next.

[...] One of the most talked about upcoming games for Wii is The Conduit. High Voltage Software has proven that they want to make a game for hardcore gamers that uses Wii’s power to its max. The Conduit has great graphics, 16 player online play, and WiiSpeak compatible… and now it can add one more thing to its list: Wii MotionPlus. While I don’t see how much a FPS can be changed by Wii MotionPlus compatibility, the fact that High Voltage Software is trying to make The Conduit the best it can be is proof that this game is going to be awesome. I’m looking forward to seeing what Wii MotionPlus will do for the game and I’m ready for it’s release in 2009 (possibly in March, which is the target release date). Now if only we would find out who the publisher is already! [Via Infendo] [...]
