Joshua Olson, producer of The Conduit on how SEGA/High Voltage feel about the reception of the game…
“Sega was very pleased, and we were very pleased. Like I said, with an original IP introduced into a market that is down, sales have been very good, so we’re very happy.”
Olson on whether High Voltage intends to enhance the art/character design if there was a sequel to The Conduit…
“I think that’s a very fair criticism. Looking at The Conduit, you’re not really sure that you’re in the world of The Conduit. Like you said, it’s kind of generic. You could be anywhere. I think that was driven a lot by our push to make The Conduit in D.C. in realistic-looking environments, we wanted to make the graphics look as real as possible. But on the flipside of that, it tended to make it look a little generic, a bit mundane. If you’re playing Halo, or look at a screenshot, you know you’re in Halo. I don’t think that’s the case with The Conduit. It’s a very valid criticism that we took to heart and we’re hoping to address in future games.”
We have musicals based on everything. Musicals based on singing trains, making musicals, cats…So logically someone is bound to make a musical based on a video game at some point. Thankfully, plenty of fans of both games and musical theater have heard the curtain call, and so we have a number of fan-made musical productions based on Nintendo series.

We don’t know much about the fifth generation of Pokemon games other than a few basic facts. The next issue of CoroCoro should provide more concrete details, though. A notice in the latest magazine promises that new information will be shared next month. CoroCoro has obtained major scoops about Pokemon titles in the past, so there it’s possible that the news in the next issue will be significant.
