Well, it could certainly be worse. I actually like the "fiery orange with white sky" style that they have going there, but it irks me a little that the actual content of the art has seemingly nothing to do with what's actually in the game, at least as far as what's known. Will we really have a bunch of powered space marines? Why is there absolutely no presence of the ASE, which is supposedly one of the game's defining mechanics, nor any recognizable traits of Mr. Ford, or the Trust, or really anything. Halo can get away with it at this point because Master Chief's design is recognizable to fans, but if you took the title logo away from this box, you'd never have any clue that this was a direct continuation of The Conduit. Seems almost purposefully generic to me.

I think the problem is though those games can get away with it because those characters and brand names are recognizable even to the masses. It's not really any different from those other boxarts except the fact that those games can rely on their name and better marketing. Outside of game enthusiasts no one would know what Conduit 2 was.Shin Johnpv said:
It needs to display something to stand out.
Mad Catz will apparently support a headset as well for CoD Wii. I really hope it's a typo or else hooray for more incompatible/multiple hardware.
I really doubt you'd be able to plug in the Headbanger to play with CoD and the Mad Catz headset to play Conduit 2. I don't know whether to blame third parties or Nintendo.

DAMN I THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD NEWS 
If anybody from high voltage is reading this...
Y'all need to add online leader boards like Halo 2 used to have and drop a multiplayer demo disk...if Monster Hunter Tri can do it, HV can do it.

Here's an E3 trailer. Too bad it's not direct feed. It actually looks pretty decent. Certainly better than the first.

Thats looks ALOT better than the 1st game.
But there one problem.
The way the 1st one was announce and shown to the public, the public felt like they had a say in the way the game got made and because of this they got a lot of positive reactions and buzz
This is getting done the usual way publishers do things, there for it might not have the same buzz, i mean how hard is it for Sega to release a fucking trailer?!?!?

Well fuck I never thought I'd say this. But apparently Conduit 2's going to have vehicles in the campaign. Their Facebook page quietly announced it along with a new online mode.
So what do you think? Either the game's going to support an actual physics engine or I'm expecting the whole thing to be extremely scripted and clunky. No mention of whether or not they're on-rails or not.
edit: Hmm may be fake. No way to prove if it's official.

Wow, I totally missed the boxart, that's great :lol
boiled goose
good with gravy
the boxart looks looks ok except for the font. the problem is that it looks generic since the characters are not recognizable and dont resemble the ones from the first one at all.
the trailer looks pretty good though.
I was one of the few that actually enjoyed playing the first one for a bit. pointer controls made it pretty fun.
different from the scripted shooters of today.

If there are vehicles, I'd hope that it's in more of a "you're manning the gun turret of a helicopter" or similar sort of thing, more than the Halo-style "hop in a tank and drive around freely." I'd much rather they focus on getting normal movement and shooting controls just right, rather than trying to throw in other modern shooter amenities and potentially having it come out unpolished.PounchEnvy said:
No matter what they do with the campaign though, the most important part is still whether or not the online component works well.
...Can't you use those same criticisms for this game's box, though? I like that we're getting more diverse environments within the game itself, but I still worry about their ability to stand out from the rest of the generic sci-fi shooter armada when that's the main image they're conveying. Gotta give people a reason to purchase your product over other, similar ones, and I don't think that the Conduit name as a brand is strong enough to do that.jred250 said:

I wasn't aware of Black Ops actually being good on the wii. I need to check this out as analog/wiimote is heaven in my hands for this type of game.Boerseun said:

Eh...not a fan of duke or his voice. Ford's first VA was fine.
