Well, the controls are inspired by Metroid Prime 3 and MoHH2. Only played Metroid Prime 3 so I can't say how good MoH controls are.

The shooting controls of The Conduit are inspired by Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, first-person shooters which had well received Wii control schemes. The Conduit will utilize user customizable control features, such as the ability to alter the size of the bounding box and the speed at which the player can move the camera. This allows players to easily change the sensitivity of their aiming and movement to suit their play style.
The first trailer released for the game showcased several weapons such as pistols, shotguns and machine guns, some of which appear alien-made. A device known as the "All-Seeing Eye" will also be featured in the game to solve puzzles.

The above trailer is running at 30fps but will be bumped up to 60fps for release next year and the AI is going to be advanced enough to "allow human like behaviour" but I'm sure we've heard the AI bit before from other developers.
High Voltage also say they are trying to make it look like a 360 title.
And on the subject of Online and of publishers:

Confirmation of The Conduit multiplayer - Deathmatch teaser was referring to online component, multiplayer deathmatch. Devs. of The Conduit have been contacted by many publishers, but are taking their time so they can make the game they want to make. “Yes, we are planning on online multiplayer. We don’t yet know how many simultaneous players we’ll be able to support. The other thing folks seem to have a lot questions on the forumsfront is the lack of a publisher. For what it’s worth, we have no shortages of options now both large and small but we are taking our time. We have our own funding to entirely complete the game and it’s not that we don’t play well with others, we just want to be far enough along that someone doesn’t come along and monkey the whole thing up. We’ve worked on enough licensed titles that had the potential to be good but an arm-chaired quarterback came in and mandated a very bad direction. The further along we are, the less likely that is to happen. We really want The Conduit to be something special for the Wii and for us, you know?"

There is a rumour of voice chat as well but I wouldn't hold my breath. Over all I'm looking forward to this game. I rarely play FPS games (usually because I never find any that aren't on the 360) so this is welcome. I have confidence this title will be good. Maybe not world changing but good, enjoyable and solid.
If anyone is interested, here is the Quantum3 engine tech demo. Quantum3 being the engine The Conduit will be using.
