Looks like IGN is on top of Conduit 2 before everyone else . Not surprised at all ;)

My first impressions: looks like FEAR and The Conduit had some mangled up love child. HVS is still wasting fillrate on excessive bloom lighting, art is still cheesy, and they could save a few polygons by going with a P90 submachine gun instead of the MP5. P90s are so much cooler anyways :cool: Making me think of FEAR, perhaps they should attempt to focus on shadow volumes, per-pixel lighting, some EMBM and try to get some real AI and physics? FEAR with Wii controls would be fun. I know it's a tall order, but maybe with a little help from John Carmack, it could be done? Oh and I do hope HVS does keep one thing: the semi-interactive water simulation.

I played a bit of the first at a friend's place and I really like their alien guns. I'm really sick of the traditional FPS staples but the alien guns were very refreshing, almost Contra like design.
