IGN delivers a good exclusive first look from time to time, and this is one of their best. The Conduit is an in-progress, unattached game you expect to see in development for the Wii at all: a gritty sci-fi FPS with a generic-sounding plot and graphics light-years beyond what any competitor is doing. How far beyond? Here, try to make sense of this description of High Voltage's Quantum 3 software:
In short, it allows the developer to create graphic effects normally seen on other consoles with vertex and pixel shaders specifically, dynamic bump-mapping (via tangent space normals or embossing), reflection and refraction (via real-time cube or spherical environmental maps), light / shadow maps, projected texture lights, specular and Fresnel effects, emissive and iridescent materials, advanced alpha blends, light beams / shafts, gloss and detail mapping, seamless resource streaming, projected shadows, heat distortion and motion blur, interactive water with dual-wave channels and complex surface effects, animated textures, and more.

Wait, are you telling me that the Wii is finally getting a respectable shooter? It only took what, a year and a half?
