The team who brough you Tom Clancy’s GRAW 2 is out to make a statement about themselves and the power of the Wii. High Voltage Software, Inc., one of the world’s largest independent developers, has officially announced The Conduit, a stunning first-person action shooter that promises to provide some of the best visuals seen to date on Nintendo’s Wii gaming console, for Q1 2009 release.
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 current-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."
"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."
"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 gameplay apart from anything else on the market right now."
