This information comes from a recent Radio-Blodec podcast. High Voltage Software’s Joshua Olson was asked about the other types of genres the company would be willing to explore, such as RPG or racing titles.
“The great thing about working at High Voltage is that we make a variety of games – shooters, games for kids. I personally would love to make a western RPG type game and so far and up until this point, that’s something that we haven’t done here at High Voltage.”
Hackers have been a pretty big concern for regular online players in The Conduit. One of the first exploits allowed a user to obtain infinite health/ammo, and that occurred only a few days after the game launch. Unfortunately, things haven’t gotten much better since then. However, it appears as though Nintendo is finally taking action to eliminate hackers.
An online hacker has taken a clear picture of an error message found when trying to connect to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. A quick look up of the code shows that Nintendo is banning hackers for “unauthorized activity.” It’s great to see Nintendo moving in the right direction to protect their service, but hopefully these issues will become less problematic in the future.
