New details on The Conduit emerge, WiiSpeak compatible
New details have been confirmed for the upcoming Wii-exclusive first-person shooter The Conduit, including WiiSpeak support and 16 player online multiplayer. The game boasts some of the best graphics on the Wii, with “”Next-Gen”” visual effects like Dynamic Environment Mapping, interactive water with real-time reflection and 4 stage texture compositions, with gloss, diffuse and bump mapping. Don’t know what that means? It’s going to look pretty. More inside Players will take on a vast number of alien creatures with human-like combat tactics; for example, making use of cover and tactical thinking. You will be able to combat them with both human and alien weaponry, each with unique firing methods thanks to the Wii remote. A device called the “”All Seeing Eye”” will allow you to reveal hidden enemies and objects for deeper levels of puzzle solving.
The online multiplayer modes, including death match and capture the flag, will support up to 16 simultaneous players and the WiiSpeak peripheral for online voice chat. The Conduit is set for an early 2009 release.
