The goal was to have more western games in their library without the new to open new studios (exemple: Platinum Games in japan, who made Bayonetta, Mad World,..).
Their track record included the, hum.., Leisure Suit Larry 8 Magna Cum Laude, which wasn't...that good. But it was okay~
(Much worse came out in the 9th game, but that's another story)
HIGH VOLTAGE released as their first SEGA game, The Conduit.
You may like it or hate it. But it still was a pretty unique decent FPS entry on the Wii. Their upcoming games include a Conduit 2 and The Grinder. I'm kinda expecting those, Conduit 2 sounds pretty cool so far, and the Grinder will be a horror/B movie/Grindhouse-style themed FPS.
Overall, I like the studio, since it did a partnership with Sega.
Hey, not every game has to be an AAA title/Blockbuster!
They're fun games and enjoyable experience.
Now here's the questionable marketing decision.
HV Soft. will release a random fighting game, still using their impressive Wii engine...
Usually I'm all for fighting games, it's not because you already have a favorite in that genre that you can't play some other ones (that's kiddie mentality, don't bash/hate spam other things just because you already have a favorite! give the others a break/chance!)
Tournament of Legends it's called.
And clearly, my problem with it is that it seems as uninspired as its title : (
Here's the brand new footage we have of it:
Tournament of Legends : Trailer
envoyé par SEGA
It looks great, has that Soul Calibur edge..but looks so uninspired...
I don't know those guys! That minotaur and that spartaaaaaaa guy, who are they?! Why should I like/help them?! Becoming a legend in what tournament???
I don't know... I may sound harsh with this one... but I'm not that interested nor motivated...
I will try to give it a chance since I like Conduit and am waiting for their 2 upcoming FPS on the Wii...
This game feels like the poor man's Soul Calibur, just like most of Sega's projects it doesn't look all that good : I
ReplyDeleteCome on! Don't be so harsh with Sega! :/
ReplyDeleteBayonetta, Mad World, After Burner Climax, Alpha Protocol, Aliens vs. Predator, Virtua Tennis 2009, Super Monkey Ball Step & Roll and even All Star Racing were pretty neat!
It's mostly on High Woltage's part here!
I do like The Conduit and have good expectations for Conduit 2 and The Grinder!
But they are making a pretty generic looking boring Soul Calibure lookalike..
One the good side, it does like pretty, specially for the wii.
But so generic :(
