Things are looking good for fans of the Conduit. From its display booth at PAX comes the promising revelation from High Voltage's Rob Nicholls that The Conduit has found a publisher and is definitely going to be able to ship in Q1 2009, with a full singleplayer campaign and both online and offline multiplayer, possibly with LAN support. High Voltage isn't ready to announce the publishing company's name yet, but promises an announcement within the next month.

The new info about controls and gameplay is stunning. Some weapons have projectiles you can control with the Wii Remote, either by pointing or tilting. GameSpot revealed in their hands-on that the Conduit will support Wii MotionPlus as an aiming option and WiiSpeak for voice chat. Cursor sensitivity and turning speed are all customizable, along with mapping of all buttons. Single-player campaign is set to run roughly 10 hours with nine missions, and plenty of bonus secrets to find.

Man, that makes me pretty happy. Conduit was actually quite fun, and the customizable controls were a complete boon that every damn video game under the sun should take a look at. Hearing it will support MotionPlus just makes me all the more interested... now I just have to hope that it doesn't end up slipping under everyone's radar.
