Conduit 2 - no returning voice actors, more talk of blocking hackers, tease of special edition

A portion of a GamingNexus interview with producer, Keith Hladik…

GN: The first game had some very talented voice actors. Which actors are returning for the sequel, and are there any big name voice actors for new characters?

KH: Due to scheduling conflicts none of the actors from the previous game are returning. Conduit 2 features a new group of very talented actors that we believe do a fantastic job making our characters come to life.

GN: The first game had a great multiplayer but cheating hackers ruined the fun in short order. What steps are being taken to prevent cheating in Conduit 2? Can we expect server moderating, patches to plug exploits, that sort of thing?

KH: We have been working with Nintendo on banning hackers since the first game’s release. We are going to support downloadable patches and hot fixes that will help fix exploits found. We are also taking measures to ensure the same types of hacks on the first game do not happen on Conduit 2. I obviously can’t go into much more detail other than to say we are working hard to preemptively thwart hacking in Conduit 2 and will continue to work hard on solving any problems that may arise.

GN: The Conduit had a slick special edition bundle with some nice box art and a few extras. Are there plans for a Conduit 2 collector’s editions with cool swag? I’ve heard rumors of Conduit 2-branded Headbanger headsets…

KH: We certainly have something up our sleeve but cannot disclose any of the details yet though, sorry.
