HNGGG.
Also, I watched the Dead Island DLC quick look last night. I love how it was basically a Breaking Brad. Looked awful.

QL dream team.
four minutes in. Dave flips the 2D map view into the screen to show objects on another plane and it just blew my mind.
Quick Look: Gotham City Impostors (Ryan/Scared off his ass Brad - 40:03)

Like most other space sims, you do what you want. If you find that boring... Well, um, sorry?

Vinny's initial reaction is amazing.
I can hear him putting his hand on his chin, sighing tiredly. :lol
That just sold me on the game.
I played the timed demo last night and really liked the feel of it. I just wasn't sure how much was actually in there. Just on humor alone I will be buying this today on the 360. I was not expecting this to be as good as it looks. A rather pleasant surprise.
That was a 2K game made by a different developer. So probably not.
They likely both use the Unreal engine (unless Monolith is using something in house). It's also completely possible some of the developers played the Bioshock 2 multiplayer and pulled some inspiration from that. I have no idea though really, I never played Bioshock 2. Interesting comparison though, I'm curious to hear from anyone else that played both games.
Only thing apparent to me is the TF2 inspiration.

Wow, Evochron actually has seamless space -> planet transitions.
The game doesn't look super interesting or great from the QL, but fuck me if that wasn't impressive and I'll buy it just to support someone actually doing it.
Like Vinny said, "This is something I've been wanting in videogames for two decades".

Probably more trouble than it's worth. They eventually got games going pretty quickly.
A couple of times, kind of. But I think they want to give an honest look at the player community and how difficult it is to get into a game. Also there are some Giant Bomb fans that would buy every game to try and get in on the Quick Looks, because they're nuts. It's probably better then that the GB guys don't do that.

Man, J&D actually looks pretty fun. I missed it and never gave it a shot because I thought 2 and 3 weren't very good. I hate to be that guy that hates on sequels, but it looks to be much more enjoyable.
The original was much better than the sequels, same with Sly.

I honestly had the exact opposite response to the demo. The movement felt a little swimmy, and I'm really not in the market for another class-based persistent-unlock shooter. The QL did put it in a really good light, but I think I would be a lot more open to it if was a bunch of cosmetic unlocks only. I really have no desire to play multiplayer games with gameplay-relevant unlocks anymore.

The way I handled the vehicle controls was to fly close to the floor, making sure to avoid flying beneath other vehicles so that when I was about to hit a civilian/Krimson guard, I could shoot up onto the second level.
Jak 2 is possibly my favourite game of all time

Your intuition is completely correct.
The first one is a really good 3D platformer before they lost their way with the later titles "I hear GTA is pretty big right now..."
Yeah it felt a little swimmy but it seemed to work with you jumping around the level. Somehow felt easier to aim while you're leaping through the air.
As someone who sticks pretty closely to playing console games this is a fairly unique offering you don't always get on these platforms. That's probably the main appeal for me.
I have Battlefield 3 right now which is class based but this definitely feels different enough from that.

GFWL means no Gotham Imposters for me. Sad it'll be dead when I pick it up in the summer sale for a couple bucks.
That looks kinda fun. And it's from the NOLF guys? I'm in.
I considered that, but when we're talking about a multiplatform game, you can't really say anything definite about their communities when you only show it on one platform.
But yes, I can vividly imagine the crazy people that would buy the game just to be in the quick look.
JOOLS and JOPS! They didn't die in Cannon Fodder! They were cryogenically frozen and revived in the future to fight another day!
I was kind of sad they didn't recognize the reference.

Really confused why Brad is driving the quicklook when Vinny actually sketched some nice stuff in some dsiware drawing thing before.
Edit :nvm both get hands on it

Reminds me partially of Brink and Shadowrun. Looks pretty fun but guaranteed to be dead online after a few weeks.

"I think that pictionary is really a lot like Apples to Apples and Cards Against Humanity. It's all about getting into the psyche of the person."
"Yeah, like, for cinnamon, you could have just drawn a picture of a stripper."
Vinny, that was amazing, hahahahaha

Going into the planet has to be one of the coolest moments in game history. Quite mind-blowing. Is this revolutionary? Have other space sims ever tried this seamless transition?
Oh man, this was hilarious.
The tech is there. But no one has used it. Check this video out:http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=h7eREddMjt4#t=213s
What point in the video does that happen?

Two years later and 5:00 to 8:00 still remains unrivaled and unfulfilled.
Planetary approach starts 26 minutes in and takes a couple minutes. And then once more towards the end of the video 1h03 in.
It's a rudimentary implementation (the planetary surface scale is off, the environment is scarcely modelled and ports are extremely low poly, off scale as well and generally just stick out). It's not a high budget game.
A for effort, though!

I remember seeing the planet to space transition in the leaked Battlefront 3 videos a couple years ago. It was pretty mindblowing then, it's crazy that no one has done something like that.
Here's hoping if these Battlefront 3 rumours are true whoever has it will put that in.

just put Vinny and Ryan in charge and they're gold!
Not a game, but SpaceEngine as a Sandbox was absolutely incredible to me.
Eh, different tastes; I loved this one, and the game looks interesting to me as well.
Plus, Vinny a& Dave Quicklooks are the best!
