No DLC planned for The Conduit, may be available in sequel

Nintendo Everything: Rob Nicholls from High Voltage Software, in an audio interview with Nintendo Radio, revealed that there are no plans to make DLC available in The Conduit. It was explained that the decision was partially due to the fact that the Wii is very limited from a storage standpoint. However, Nicholls also added that although DLC will be absent from the first game, High Voltage would consider it for the sequel (most likely if Nintendo created a storage solution at that point.)

damn those friendcodes -_-...
Guess Nintendo is the publisher.
HVS should DEMAND an alternative.

[jorgeanaya000]

That friend codes thing probably does mean Nintendo is the publisher.

Since when nintendo has DLC for any game, i wish they stop crying about the problems of the internet, if a kid can play online=have a computer=could meet and @sshole just the same.

[ChickeyCantor]

There are some titles with DLC.
Also, comparing PC to Wii isn't the same.
Wii is a Nintendo product and Nintendo doesn't wants to be responsible for all the poor kids becoming victims.

*giggles*

However they have a good system for parental lock, all they have to do now is make their online system that gets blocked with full features if Parental lock is on.

this does not confirm nintendo as publisher because aside from EA, no other company has their own severs.Therefore, HVS would have to use friend codes even if it is being published by sega, capcom, ubicrap, activision etc

also, friend codes are no biggy as long as we can still play with random people without having to access through friend codes.

and i was really hoping that HVS would also have DLC seeing as they have been able to do amazing things with wii but oh well.

fake edit: cant they do what activision did with gh4 in terms of dlc?

some send an email to HVS about dlc.

[ChickeyCantor]

Hell i just send an email, but not about DLC.
More about them to convince Nintendo about a much more user friendly online system.
DLC, i don't really care much for that if i can't have a basic FPS online setup.

[vashivihang]

unless there are many maps, dlc would add to the replay value very much.

i would even delete all my other stuff just to have DLC for conduit

for example, in mohh2, there are only 6 maps and it gets old after some time.

btw, looking forward to playing with you sidar. you seem like a nice person.

i sent them an email too, giving them ideas about online modes and other general stuff like art direction. i have yet to receive a reply. i forgot to mention DLC in that email

[chanmasta]

... what's their email please, because I got a few things to suggest.

And also you both seem like cool people with no stupid attitude. So i'll also give you a game if you want ;)

I'm so looking forward to this game!

[vashivihang]

[ChickeyCantor]

"btw, looking forward to playing with you sidar. you seem like a nice person"

Yeah it always starts like that,
then i start to care about you to much...
And eventually you will hurt me =(...
I'm not sure if i have much room in the basement...left....

But yeah i don't mind some deathmatch with n4g =D!

I'm not waiting for a reply, i'm just hoping it will get into their thick skull xD

[vashivihang]

i am loving that pic

[chanmasta]

... the article pic?

[vashivihang]

yes. the hand looks sweet. (i know its old)

[chanmasta]

... I really like that pic as well, that's why i used it! :D

hehe

Can't wait to see the hand and well... the whole suit when the game is completed.

[GFahim]

then im fine with that.

[ChickeyCantor]

When it comes to FPS, honestly you just expect lobbies and stuff like that.
People who make waiting rooms mostlikely have the same people in there.
So you will know that you are sure you can have your revenge =P

who cares about dlc for this game...it will rock regardless.

[TheColbertinator]

Exactly Product.Bibble Plus

Nintendo allows MP3's to be used in Excite Truck and I think Endless Ocean. Treasure used sound files to transfer/save/load levels for Bangai-O Spirits on DS. If it is possible to save new Conduit levels as mp3's or something along those lines, then you could load them into the game. That would be really cool. Another possibility is to go the Smash Bros Brawl route because they can be saved to SD cards. Either way HV would have to upload them and we would have to download them from a PC. It would be cool if Nintendo let you get them from the Internet Channel, but that is probably asking too much.

As for no friend codes would Nintendo somehow ban/cancel a games service if a dev lied and said they put in friend codes and they didn't? Is it a part of their contract for use of their servers?

I bet they could still do lobbies. Even lobbies where maps were voted on or vetoed could be done silently. I don't need to talk to a creeper to decide to play a map or not. Most kids don't either. Game invites with are a must, too. You should be able to leave and join at will without talking either.

Just wondering, why would Nintendo allow Wii speak if they had friend codes? Would they limit talking to friends only?

If all else fails, be like Metroid Prime Hunters where you can have a Rivals list. That way you could invite rivals to a private game and shoot your code at a wall and they can write it down. On MPH it is hard, but I've done it before.
