The Capcom PR guy was way more offensive then anything in the game to me.

That's not a Capcom PR guy, as he is there reviewing games with Conan every show. I am not really sure who that guy is, but I suspect he could be a Microsoft PR guy, since all they seem to review are XBox 360 games.

But yeah, I agree on the sentiments of his observations. The guy couldn't even navigate around some chairs. Which is a problem that should be addressed in the game. Also bumping into the woman at the beginning and watching her stand there motionless... great. I laughed hard at the guy behind the door looking like Conan's stage manager too. The convoluted plot is quite funny too... it is great seeing someone who was just introduced to series reactions on these things.

Has some animation problems, but I'm still very excited and Conan did seem like he had a good time overall. Will watch again for him shooting down shitty PR dudes who do awful things like say how good the player is over and over again.

Fuck I remember GFW radio making fun of that shit years ago and then they have someone do it on national tv.

Are you talking about the guy that was playing with him? Pretty sure that is an employee of Conan's show. He is not Capcom PR.

 

[Secret Fawful]

Wow, there was a lot of terrible design on display there. I'm not immediately familiar with a lot of modern console games, but I thought we were past not being able to go past toppled chairs.

The "review" was hilarious, though.

 

[def sim]

Conan is just great. Thanks for these reviews, OP.

4 posts ladies and gents, 4 more any you would see that not only was that pointed out but it was also responded to long ago.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

Conan is hilarious, but good god the game is looking horrible here.



It's amusing how quickly someone unaccustomed to the medium will recognize these design absurdities we've come to ignore.

Yeah that's what I meant to say. I hope he keeps doing these.

 

[Seik]

Good work.

I appreciate it.

I'm pretty sure I've seen him around in some other Conan segments too.

 

[Red Blaster]

Conan's summary of Resident Evil's lore is perfect

Nah, that's Aaron Bleyaert. An old friend of Conan who has been working on the show in some capacity since the Late Night days. He also hosts the teamcoco podcast.

 

[Riposte]

Honestly, it looks worse than RE5. What the fuck happened here.

Resident Evil 5 was pretty exceptional. I think this is a case of a few shortcuts being made to make a game which is much larger in scope and likely made in a smaller time frame.

EDIT: Where Resident Evil 6 stands on its animations is made or broken on how good the rifle reload animation is.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

lol

 

[Quick]

Just saw it now.

"I don't want my zombie games to be complicated. See zombie, kill zombie. I don't want them turning into pasta or shellfish."

Truer words, Conan.

And that thumbs up gif is awesome. Terrible in-game, since it looks so stupid.

 

[Darryl]

the review was hilarious but actually made the game look pretty bad.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

He should have reviewed Resident Evil Revelations. Afterall, he was in the game:

 

[ConradCervantes]

Good God, what the hell happened to this game. I never notice screen tearing but it was pervasive in this video.

 

[MrCunningham]

Nah, that's Aaron Bleyaert. An old friend of Conan who has been working on the show in some capacity since the Late Night days. He also hosts the teamcoco podcast.

Ah, OK. I really didn't know who this guy was.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Honestly, it looks worse than RE5. What the fuck happened here.

After a while technology only takes you so far and you begin to realize actually putting in the time and work is what makes the difference. Im sure they have busted ass on this, but the game has like 4 campaigns and a prologue. Thats a lot of game to make look good.

 

[Vire]

Genius.

Really, reminds me of that article of that guy from the New Yorker who started playing games for the first time and would point out things that you would never think of since you've grown so accustomed to how ridiculous things are in video games.

 

[Lasthope106]

That was actually pretty funny.

 

[Holy Wars]

Screen tearing? In a Capcom game?! No way!

 

[Salazar]

Genius.

Nicholson Baker.

Read The Mezzanine. He is the master of "pointing out shit" about anything.

Ah thanks, I couldn't think of the author.

I really enjoyed that article, I'll check out his book for sure.

 

[Snapshot King]

Something has to be going on here, that screen tearing seems dramatically more pronounced than the E3 demo, in one that's supposed to come out on the 18th? Either they completely fucked it up or it has something to do with their capture setup.

Yeah, seems to be the 18th demo. So I guess we'll find out soon how bad it really is. Granted, if it's bad, they'll just say it's been fixed in the final version. Then we'll find out launch day they're full of shit. People will bitch about them lying, other Gaffers will call them whiny entitled gamers. The usual.

 

[Dariso]

Like everyone here, dat arm animation XD. Just finished replaying RE5 and the animations really look like they got worst. The running animation also looks weird, especially Ada's. Its like they mo-capped only one set of animations and used them for everyone. Jake's and Ada's look really similar.I guess they were going for the lots of content, not so great quality but who knows, still doesn't look that bad to me.

 

[olimpia84]

Is that arm animation for real? It certainly can't be that bad, but if true lmao.
Also, take a look at the guy on his left when Leon does thumbs up, his reaction is priceless.

 

[shaowebb]

Huh...screen tearing, bad animations, random obstructions turning large rooms into hallways, and a lot of various QTE.

...

NOPE.

 

[sleepykyo]

Clearly pushing the date forward did not mean a rushed product, as illustrated by such amazing animation.

 

[Mariolee]

Lol nope. That probably has more to do with some sort of contract than Conan's friend.

 

[Router]

Dear fucking God that looks terrible.

 

[Dartastic]

This is hilarious so far. Quick things I noticed:

- awful tearing
- Conan making a joke about how he's a badass with a gun and can't get past a few wooden chairs on the ground. He has no idea how right he is

Thought the exaaaact same thing. ...Just saying, he IS playing the demo. At least for part of it. You can see on the title screen at around 6 minutes that it says "demo version." Might be why it's tearing so bad. It was also tearing really badly in the places that have been the demo areas in the past. Soooo yeah.

 

[Darkgran]

Very funny.

But the screen tearing is terrible and the game looks bad.

That thumbs up is going to be stuck in my head for days. Probably be a new meme before we know it.

Good work..

Appreciate it..

 

[CronoShot]

Good lord that tearing. Awful.

I don't remember that much in the PS3 demo.

 

[timetokill]

That thumbs up animation is soooooooo bad, funniest part of the whole thing for me

 

[Fried Food]

wow people are knocking the game over a throwaway animation :\

 

[KDash31987]

I watched this on TV a little over an hour ago. Couldn't stop laughing, and I can't stop doing Leon's thumbs up thing. It's good exercise, man! Hah.

Still looking forward to the game, though. Hope it turns out good. I'll be downloading the demo when it comes out in a few days. Hopefully it's an updated demo, and not the same one from Dragon's Dogma, as I heard that one had some problems that were fixed in later versions.

 

[Ilive1up]

/facepalm at this franchise.

love me some conan.

 

[NullPointer]

I see they put some horror back into the series.

And yes, I'm talking about the tearing.

wow people are knocking the game over a throwaway animation :\

Throwaway? If its throwaway, why is it in the game?

 

[Hasemo]

Yes, finally a new one!

 

[Einbroch]

Man, that screen tearing is AWFUL.

 

[7he Talon]

Hahaha the High Five rejection was classic.

Someone needs to make a .GIF of it.

 

[kittens]

So good. I love this series.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

I'm seeing a trend here, someone give Conan a dating simulator already.

 

[Xander51]

That was easily the best of these videos. Had me laughing the entire time.

I agree with those that think this looks dated compared to RE5. The texture work in 5 is still incredible, especially given the limited RAM on consoles.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

That was awesome, lol

Conan, plz review moar games

 

[MuddyDonut]

That was hilarious...like cheeks hurting type of shit
