The Conduit delayed in Europe, Australia [update]
[Update: Sega has confirmed that the US release date remains June 23.]Sega has announced that the European release of The Conduit has been delayed from its original June 26 date to July 10. According to CVG, unspecified issues with the game's multi-language European localization are responsible for the holdup. VOOKS has also confirmed a delay for the Australian release of High Voltage's FPS. Once given a June 25 release date, the game has been pushed back to July 16. Neither Sega nor VOOKS offered any reason for this version's delay, and the Australian release shouldn't be affected by the same localization problems. At this point, your best shot at playing The Conduit next week remains the "living in North America" strategy, or the slightly less drastic "importing from North America" strategy.%Gallery-25003%
Amazon offering 'The Conduit' digital comic with purchase
In addition to the Collector's Edition of The Conduit at GameStop, there's the option of receiving a digital comic with a purchase from Amazon. The Conduit: Orange Lights provides back story and follows a DC talk-radio host as he digs into the origins of the title device.The fine print on the offer is that the redemption instructions for the comic will be sent within 10 business days of the game's release. So, the game will be out before those who purchase can get the "back story?" Huh.[Via Sega Blog]
Check out The Conduit's packaging, and the game as well
Sega released a bunch of cool media for The Conduit, including this new trailer, titled "Trouble in the Metro." It's somewhat debatable as to what causes more trouble in this game's version of the Washington, D.C. Metro system: all the alien guys running around, or the player character discharging a bunch of weapons in there.Sega also released images of the special edition boxes for both the UK and North America. Sega has yet to announce anything about the UK special edition, but we feel pretty confident in saying that there will be a hint book included. %Gallery-25003%
Joystiq hands-on: The Conduit online multiplayer
click to enlarge Wii's biggest FPS of the summer (we'd say year, but Ubisoft has a little something cooking), The Conduit, has, perhaps in keeping with its theme of conspiracy and hidden secrets, only just now been shown with its online multiplayer component virtually complete and ready for the game's June 23 release. We spent an afternoon at Sega America playing through its various maps and modes with other games press and members of the dev team from High Voltage Software.Before we even got into the action, though, we were already impressed by how, well ... un-Wii-like the online mode was in both presentation and function. High Voltage has clearly spent a good deal of time pondering what players will want to find when they sit down for a multiplayer game of The Conduit for the first time. %Gallery-51693%
