TVGB: Two words. Voice and chat. Is it coming?

RN: We are pushing really hard for it and still have details to work out. We have some options to accomplish voice chat. Our engineering staff is working very closely with Nintendo. If High Voltage has its way there will be voice chat. It all boils down to can we get the technology in time or not.

EN: We’re currently working hot and heavy on multiplayer. There’s still some components that we can do simulations on to determine how many players we can have. It’s looking like 16 players is going to be our number but that’s still TBD. We’re working very closely with Nintendo about getting the most out of the system and we’ve been working on getting the most out of multiplayer. We’re shooting for what folks would expect form a high end multiplayer but with the unique game mechanics of The Conduit.

RN: Our plan is to use the ASE in multipayer as long as the technology is there to support it. We want to use it as much as we can.
