High Voltage Software Apologizes for Upcoming Conduit 2's Awesomeness

[tomvw]

It's good to know EA isn't the only one pulling of stupid marketing stunts.
I can hardly wait for the punchline that is Conduit 2.

 

[JaredXE]

Wait....didn't The Conduit suck? That's a lot of confidence with no performance to back it up.

 

[Hungry Donner]

Honestly that comes off as insipid rather than funny to me. If this was the sequel to a low-end or poorly received title I'd probably understand some self-deprecating humor but even this is difficult to pull off, Two Worlds Two attempted this and it just came off as forced instead of funny.

Maybe my standards of humor are too high, the e-mail was woefully deficient in flatulence humor.

 

[Nieroshai]

Well they DID say Conduit 1 was going to revolutionize the shooter genre, so I'd imagine the hype will be the same here.

I think you should draft a faux letter from your "lawyer" seeking litigation after the life-crippling let down that the game turned out to be after all of that anticipation. Your abillity to review games being hampered because every game you play, no matter how utterly horrible and broken, is absolutly wonderful in comparison to "Condiut 2" causing you to unfairly lionize them due to your trauma.

I thought it was pretty funny. I don't get why some of you feel the need to act offended and declare that the game should be burned at the stake.

Lighten up.

sweet cant wait to see yathzee rip this game a new one

 

[Nieroshai]

Oh, Yahtzee's gonna havefun with this one.

Only if they send him a hammer and a box playing annoying music.

 

[Monshroud]

That's some big talk from High Voltage. I sure hope they can back that all up with a solid FPS. From the previews I have seen, they have the possibility. Hopefully they don't screw it up.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Mmm let see who will have the last laugh once I've bought the game but none the less it's a funny letters.

 

[hazabaza1]

Calling it now: It's gonna be shit.
Or it'll be another one of those "Good... for a Wii game" titles.

 

[RA92]

What's it with publishers these days, hyping their games to such a degree that they can't possibly meet the expectations?

 

[Thunderhorse31]

The press release is kinda like their first game. Slightly amusing at first, then you realize how stupid it is halfway through.

 

[syltman]

Well let's hope they deliver what they seem to promise.

 

[IndianaJonny]

I don't know if this kind of humour can ever come off without being cringingly pretentious, especially if it's advertising

 

[Baresark]

Nice. The only real problem with the first game is that it was extremely over hyped. It was a fine game. This one will be a fine game too, but DO NOT get everyone's hopes up for a mind blowing experience. I loves me some Wii, and it'll be nice to have a reason to go back and play it. Is that not good enough without the need to make people hate you?

Sincerely,
