Conduit 2 will support Wii MotionPlus

For those wondering whether or not High Voltage Software was going to include Wii Motion Plus support in Conduit 2, Sega’s latest announcement confirms that they will. “Conduit 2 will use Wii MotionPlus to create the most responsive control system ever, as well as improved edge tracking and transitions to pointer control,” says Sega.

Nice, looks like they're really trying with this. I'm willing to give them another chance.

I'm still waiting for the words, "No more spawn bug."

That's all I need to hear to buy it. I enjoyed the first for what it was, but the multiplayer was extremely buggy.

badz1495068d ago

it's the definitive tracker for the Wii and not embracing 1:1 tracking when the hardware is available is the sign of laziness! I know, not everyone has it but at least make it optional!

CoffeewithChess5068d ago

Same for Nintendo games.
I think Nintendo's Metroid Prime Trilogy was a lazy port, because it didn't update any controls from the original Metroid Prime 3(at least I think).

The original Metroid Prime 3 was released basically 2 full years before Metroid Prime Trilogy, and the controls weren't fully customizable like The Conduit's.

I think Nintendo is attempting to make WM+ more of a standard now, with the Wii bundles included WSR and WM+, but when Nintendo is releasing games like SMG2, S&P2, and as of now, Metroid: Other M, all without WM+ support, why should 3rd parties?

"but when Nintendo is releasing games like SMG2, S&P2, and as of now, Metroid: Other M, all without WM+ support, why should 3rd parties?"

This is a good point. The only solution I can see would be for Nintendo to release Zangeki no Reginleiv in North America.

SpoonyRedMage5068d ago

The thing is.... not all games need it. The above examples of SMG2, S&P2 and Metroid: Other M definitely don't(although some have suggested SMG2 could do with having it).

For S&P2 at least you only need to the pointer and you don't turn the camera so there's no risk of pointing away from the sensor bar(which it seems a lot of people do). M+ would add nothing to it... correct me if I'm wrong.

"For S&P2 at least you only need to the pointer and you don't turn the camera so there's no risk of pointing away from the sensor bar"

Ordinarily, I would point out that that's only peripherally(excuse the pun)-related to the issues some people have with edge-tracking, but that would tread suspiciously-close to speaking ill of S&P2, and I would have to ritualistically disembowl myself in order to erase the shame.

But I have a question. Are they going to do something about them GODD@MN hackers that F'D up their last game? If I find out that they are doing something about them b!(+hes, day one buy for me. 7_7

Sorry if I seem kinda mad, but I'd like to enjoy a free-for-all without it being played out like this......

This game had a lot going for it, it's good to know they're going to tap more into it.

Sega sells Relic and will cut 240 jobs across UK studios

GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.

The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."

Shame about Creative Assembly, they should have just been allowed to do an Alien Isolation sequel.

just_looken28d ago

It was that garbage coh 3 that did them in only a special team can make a sequel worse in every way even though it was a 10 year gap and the same era.

gold_drake29d ago

I hope they find new jobs in the industry soon.

Jingsing29d ago

Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive probably run on a shoe string budget so that fits into SEGA better lol

SEGA’s Switch Predecessor: What Happened to the Nomad?

Sega had such a turbulent existence from the mid-90s to when they dropped out of console manufacturing entirely in 2001, it’s understandable if you’ve never heard of the Genesis Nomad.
