Support NeoGAF

[LurkerPrime]

Isn't Schreier the head editor/EIC/whatever at Kotaku? He's going to have every chance over Patrick to post the stories that matter. The lower editors are there to sustain the site day-to-day with their clickbait.

He broke the infinity ward story no?

I recall them mentioning him in a Bombcast (obviously, prior to his joining GB), so yeah.

wait why are we talking about Patrick

er I mean who's Patrick

 

[Catvoca]

Patrick isn't really a cut above most other games journalists. Who can name a notable bit of journalism he's done? People like Schreier or however it is spelled do some excellent work over at Kotaku, but he really doesn't. Despite his scoops nickname he doesn't deliver any hot scoops. It makes sense that post-GB he'd utilise some of the livestream skills he's accumulated, but honestly the shoe doesn't fit that great. He's in a weird place, imo.

That sounds harsher than I meant it to be, because he is a nice guy and I enjoy his Mario mornings and a good amount of his GB content. It would be great to see him over at GBeast.

I think he's written some great stuff for Kotaku. He tends to write about stories surrounding games, like this one recently http://kotaku.com/dad-immortalized-in-his-favorite-game-by-grieving-son, or the piece he did on eve, or that piece about the gambling competition between two dudes. Might not be "hard hitting journalism", but these are good articles.

I belive Totilo is the guy running stuff over at Kotaku. Schreier is the most visible on GAF because he's a pretty active member here.

Patrick also did that story recently interviewing localization people about games getting changed when they come west. Story wasn't perfect, but it had some really insightful bits.

I liked Fable 2 and i really like the setting that Fable 3 seems to have. It's only $5, i suppose i'll take my chances. Thanks!

You reminded me that I bought Fable 3 twice even though I hated it the first time.

Edit: Although the collectors edition was made to look like a cool book so that was alright.

Totilo is the EIC, Schreier is the News editor.

Like, what even is a gaming scoop? No one is really pounding down doors for x/y/z reasons, so the biggest scoop someone can get is an email leak or early announcement.

Whoops.

Kotaku is a strange and exotic beast.

The sort of thing that gets you blacklisted.

That art is obviously super earlier, but oh boy they probably shouldn't have shown too many screens of it looking like that. Those player models are real messy, even for the 3DS.

Best news I've heard all day!

I wonder why they don't go for a 2D style? Too close to the original (lawsuit territory)?

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

Does anyone know when they plan to post their top ten lists on the site? I'm curious to see what everyone chose.

it's a former argonaut staffer so he's probably allergic to 2D games

Iron Galaxy wouldn't make it but 1 random dude from the UK will? Lang truly is a monster.

Next week is when all the GotY stuff drops.

To be fair, the opportunity costs of taking on a project like that are much different for a studio of a significant size rather than just one dude doing something he's into.

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

Okay. Thanks! I knew that's when they put the deliberation podcasts out but I couldn't remember from last year when the personal lists came out.

 

[Myggen]

Everything will go up between December 28 and January 1 (staff top 10, guest top 10, daily videos, the podcasts, some random stuff).

edit: Late as usual!

Stop being so reasonable.

Spoiler

I totally get it. There can't be a big market for a Windjammer clone, even if it's good. Hope if works out for this guy.

3ds seems like a real dumb platform though, Windjammers is the perfect couch co-op game. Seems like you'd want it on consoles and PC but idk.

 

[bigwinnerx]

I'm at my in-law's house GOTY week. Perfect.

This is exactly the kind of reason I'm glad small scale indie development is only getting easier to do. Stuff like this can serve a market large enough to justify a few guys working on, but would never work out for a larger studio.

As you mentioned, though, 3DS seems like a bit of a suspect choice even if it is one of my favorite platforms.

Is it super early? The article says it's coming early 2016. Would there be many significant visual upgrades in a few months?

Oh, you're totally right. I just scanned the article and assumed since this is the reveal that it'd be like a year out. There still could be significant polish time given the scale of the project, but that definitely makes the game look a lot rougher.

Bad graphics aren't going to ruin it if it plays well, but it's certainly not off on the right foot.

 

[Strax]

I'm at my in-law's house GOTY week. Perfect.

Cool that they are also fans.

 

[Tubobutts]

I hope we get a Project Beast episode this week. They should already have part 3 recorded based on last week's episode.

I think Vinny said on the beastcast that they have about 3 more in the can so I guess we should see one this week.

 

[Bowlie]

I didn't know they would quick look EDF, I'm excited for the dumbness

Let's hope Vinny is able to find the time to edit an episode in between all the GOTY stuff.

For a moment I thought it was the real Windjammers and almost made the mistake of buying a Nintendo product

 

[K.Sabot]

I'm at my in-law's house GOTY week. Perfect.

Was in the same situation a few years ago but they didn't even have internet at the house, I stole their neighbors wifi and it took nearly the 4 days I was there to download each podcast before I listened to them all on the drive back home.

 

[Myggen]

Speak of the devil, Kerbal added to the schedule for Thursday.

 

[Teddified]

Yay Kerbal!

 

[TraBuch]

Obnoxious ones. People like Supergreatfriend are fantastic.

 

[Tubobutts]

Hooray for Kerbal!

 

[TheMrPliskin]

I hadn't seen this on the schedule and now I'm excited. We always need more EDF, especially if it's in the form of a GBeast QL.

Let's hope Vinny is able to find the time to edit an episode in between all the GOTY stuff.

Yeah, seems like Project B.E.A.S.T. would be more of an editing job than one of their regular videos so hopefully it's not too much of a pain to do amongst all the GOTY stuff he's working on.

 

[Felix Lighter]

It's a Christmas miracle!

 

[strafer]

Sure, they got time for that Kerbal shit but not LiS.

Shame on you Vinny. Shame on you.

The Kerbal game was funny the first time but then it got tedious...it's not fun for me to watch.

Playdates are a live series. Live shows are different beast from pre-recorded stuff.

I can't tell if this means Jeff likes Undertale or hates it.

So looking forward to see how this goes down on the GOTY podcasts.

Edit: I'm also reminded of when I couldn't put Danganronpa 1 or 2 on my list last year due to the Japanese releases being before 2014, AND THEY NEVER FIXED IT. >=[
