For High Voltage GDC was the place to highlight Tournament of Legends and The Grinder, but a poster suggests a second Wii shooter.
According to G4TV, there was a piece of art with a sole large "2" in the same font as the logo for The Conduit. Whilst strongly hinting at a sequel, the studio denied its existence when questioned but further teased "there's more to come on that!", coupled with sly grins and manic laughter.
In an interview with producer Joshua Olson (via GoNintendo), he mentions how the studio do realise how the characters and environments in the first game were fairly generic/bland in design - something they would address if there were to be a sequel.
I think that's a very fair criticism. Looking at The Conduit, you're not really sure that you're in the world of The Conduit. Like you said, it's kind of generic. You could be anywhere. I think that was driven a lot by our push to make The Conduit in D.C. in realistic-looking environments, we wanted to make the graphics look as real as possible. But on the flipside of that, it tended to make it look a little generic, a bit mundane.
If you're playing Halo, or look at a screenshot, you know you're in Halo. I don't think that's the case with The Conduit. It's a very valid criticism that we took to heart and we're hoping to address in future games.

Would you be interested in a sequel - were you a fan of the first?

Let me get this straight...
+ You haven't played the game
+ You refuse to read reviews pertaining to the game
And you're trying to argue whether its good or not? Good luck with that.

Minority? Do you even know what aggregate means?
It means that those who think the game is garbage are the minority, because whether you like it or not, critical reception has been decent/positive across the board from fans and critics alike.

I read a review this morning. Thanks JB
It was you guys who said I haven't played the game, I just said I wouldn't pay for it.
SuperLink hasn't played the game and has been stating his opinions as fact in order to counter me. We still in court?
Aggregates, I watch football of course I know what these are.
I not actually sure what you guys are actually trying to achieve here.
I asked you guys to sell me the features of the game and not one of you has even tried to do that. You bring up your averages, reviews, metas and what not but fail to even try to get me interested in this game.
Me Pg2... "So guys what are the interesting features you guys say this crap game has?"
C3 nintyfarts... W-w-well it averaged reviews of around 70 on metacritic and the developers are trying to do something. Just because you are racist 3rd grade troll doesn't mean we don't like this game which is interesting to us and not to people who don't like to +read reviews pertaining to this game it's obvious you ain't played it.

I haven't played the game so I'm basing my argument on aggregates, which means, you guessed it, common opinion.
I not actually sure what you guys are actually trying to achieve here.
I'm trying to make you see that laughing at and insulting justonespoolturn's opinion is ridiculous seeing as the game isn't "garbage" at all, it's just far from amazing.
but fail to even try to get me interested in this game.
Since when have I tried to sell the game to you? I'm not trying to get you to like it, no I honestly couldn't care less about your opinion, I'm just trying to point out that stuff with positive feedback generally can't be garbage.
It's like I said before. I have absolutely ZERO interest in Modern Warfare 2, you're never gonna be able to sell it to me, but I'm not gonna go around insisting it's garbage just because I personally don't want it, I'll concede it's a a good game that deserves some of the praise it gets.
I'm not even gonna dignify your last paragraph with a response. You've been doing a terrible job yourself of "proving" that it's garbage.
You'd have a much better time trying to argue that Crazy Frog Racer was garbage tbh, because that way you'd actually have things to back it up.

You said yourself the game ain't amazing. Amazing is the reason why I play games or watch films, to be amazed.
You couldn't care less about my opinion, you cared enough to respond to me all these times, what are you gonna start hating me just because of what I'm saying here? Do you think I'm being serious? You think I have time in my life to hate on a game I haven't fully played? I haven't even said the worst things about the game in this thread.
Fine I'm gonna leave C3 for a while.

I don't care if you think the game is garbage, but insisting it and laughing/insulting anyone who disagrees is why I'm posting here. I'm just being a neutral party.
If you weren't being serious then why take it so far and even threaten to leave C3 because of it? I really don't get it. It's not worth it.

Good god girls, settle down.
First of all Simez, noone likes it when people say the word "nigger", especially in excess, it's not exactly necessary (like... ever), and it can be a bit offensive to read for a lot of people. How was he supposed to know you were black? Oh right, he's a stupid shit for not assuming that in the first place is he? Oh and also, where do you get off insulting his opinion and making such a big deal out of it? Christ, he likes an average-very good game and you're acting like it's a terrible awful crime.
Second of all justonesp00lturn, you calling Simez a "complete fucking asshole" isn't exactly helping your case and it makes you just as much the bad guy as he is.
Don't even start with the whole "lemme express my feelings what is this a police state blah blah blah" bollocks. Every site has rules, and insulting others just so happens to be against ours.
Either follow them or face my disgustingly cute wrath.
Oh, and in the future? Send a mod alert before "discussion" degrades to this level.
Good day.

When his only defense of his opinion is to start namecalling someone who wasn't even talking to him, I lose all respect for his opinion. He went to racial slurs, "your mother" insults, ethnocentricism... all over his complete hatred for a game he hasn't ever played.
But I overreacted and stooped to that level, so I apologize. Also, I didn't want to respond to him at all, but I have no idea how to report posts on this site, as I've never felt a need to do it, before. I've been fine with personal attacks on here before; hell, I've been in heated debates with people who I later added to my friends list on games, but his post was just dispicably low, for no reason at all. I was disagreeing with Trepe just fine, I took no offense to anything he said and I hope he didn't take offense to anything I said (especially since, in retrospect, some of the things I said were far less than nice.)
But, I'll take your advice, and bow out of the argument. I had a response to some of his posts written here, but I'm just going to ignore it. Like you said, the argument isn't worth it. My apologies for contributing to the negativity.

Good point, that's our fault
for some reason the option isn't available on news posts.We'll try to do something about that, thanks.

We're not trying to sell you the game. We don't care if you buy it. We're arguing against you making judgments about something you have absolutely no experience with. If you're interested in buying it, you can find the feature set on any gaming site, reviews on meta critic, and probably a thread on here filled with player opinions.
I don't think you're trying to buy it though. You're just insulting it over and over -- again without any experience of the game. Hence the reaction you've received. This isn't Ninty fanboyism. Because we'd fully accept your opinion if you had anything to back it up with other than 'the art style is stupid'.
