Conduit 2 Powers Up with MotionPlus Support

Nice to hear that M+ will be optional instead of necessary.

I think the real question is... Why would you NOT implement the already existing technology in your game?

Hmm, maybe this will help have better control over the game's ASE.

C2 is looking good. I may be tempted to pick this up... I still need to pick up an M+ but if its optional... No worries.

At least they're thinking of those who haven't got it yet.

NICE!

I thought M+ didn't improve pointer controls? Doesn't it just add an axis of rotation or something, which isn't used at all for point-and-click

I'm guessing it'll be used for off-screen pointing, like RS2.

I don't really see the added value of WM+ in a shooter. You point and shoot. I understand it if there was swords play or something like that (as in Red Steel 2 or Wii Sport Resort), but unless I'm mistaken that's not the case here.

My thinking is that it will be used to improve aiming when you're outside the pointer's range. This didn't really cause an issue for me, but I suppose that it could allow for smoother aiming when you're pointing offscreen.

I'll definitely be picking this game up. Even though I never really kept up playing Conduit 1, I found it to be pretty enjoyable whilst it lasted, and the online mode was awesome. I loved the pistol, and could just raep everyone with it. The Halo 1 pistol came t mind when I was using it.

I still don't quite understand why they changed the title to Conduit?

That was the one thing I loved about The Conduit and what made it so great (the controls).

Glad to see this game perfecting the already great features. (Well atleast I hope they do.)

Hmmm....in the first game, the shrieker (I think thats the name) allowed you to control the bullet after it was shot. If there is a gun like that in Conduit 2, M+ could really add to the control.

I'm also not entirely sure how M+ would help (how do you aim at something offscreen anyways)? Once again, I look forward to hearing impressions from the show floor. Hooray for E3!

Yeah, having your pointer go off-screen drove me nuts a few times XD

Awesome. Headbusting with percision. Love it.

What they were lacking was the poor online user interface. It was so hard to get together with your friends and play together since you cannot make a party and play together. You must hope and cross your fingers that your buddy who is in the game that you are trying to join is still in queue and has room left for you to join him. It's pretty much impossible to join a friend's game, unless it's a private game...

Wasn't it used in Red Steel 2 to stop the screen from spinning when you aim off of it (happens quite frequently)
Even if it gives the tiniest benefit, it's a handy thing for anyone that already has the device.

The controls were not Conduit's problem. Nonexciting level design, lack of splitscreen, lack of immersive story-telling. (They're called cutscenes. Use them!)

The Conduit is/was cool. I have high hopes for Conduit 2! Come on HVS!

M+ does help point controls dramatically.. See for yourself.

High Voltage Software said the name changed because they grew attached to it. "Conduit 2" was just what they named their project while it was in early development, and it stuck with them. They also said it was much easier to phrase, and it narrowed down the wordiness of "The Conduit 2".
