So Many First Screens For Evasive Space

3:40AM Mike Fahey | When Yuke’s Company of America releases screenshots, they release a hell of a lot of screenshots. They’ve unleashed so many screens for their upcoming top-down space adventure game Evasive Space for WiiWare that we’ve had to split them into two different galleries, one containing shots from Act 1 of the game, and another containing shots from Act 2. Enough screenshots that you could probably just print them out and play through both levels, flipbook style. Either they are extremely proud of High Voltage Software’s work on the title, or someone in the screenshot department has an itchy capture finger. Check out Act 1 before the jump, and Act 2 comes tumbling after.

Rumor: Sega Channels The Conduit To Wii

6:40AM Michael McWhertor | At last check, High Voltage Software’s sharp-looking Wii game The Conduit was homeless, without a publisher to give it a snazzy marketing campaign and necessary distribution.

It was rather quickly deleted, but not before screen grabs captured the moment for posterity. More »

More Screenshots, Gameplay Info for The Conduit

9:00AM Owen Good | The fact developer High Voltage Software has yet to find a publisher for The Conduit, which is the FPS Wii-exclusive title, hasn’t stopped it from announcing a first-quarter 2009 release. The Conduit Information Centre site also has a nice little cache of screenshots, one is above, some are after the jump. IGN put up four new ones on Friday. Also, a Q&A with High Voltage’s software development director gives a few more details on the game itself, including: • Three modes for online play. Offline play is single-player. LAN multiplayer likely. They’re trying to get voice chat online. • Enemies use portals to bring in reinforcements; destroying them will be a key. • Set in fictional Earth of the near future, the story takes on a dark conspiracy-theory tone that unravels pretty fast after you get sent to investigate an extra-terrestrial encounter. Think the X-Files with stranger weapons. • Your adversaries are called The Drudge. I battle drudgery every day, lemme tell ya. … Hit the jump for the eye candy. More »
