They have the most awesome way of getting around the 3 minute footage embargo. :lol

That was so awesome :lol

Giantbomb should do that for all quick looks, even if they don't have get around weird 3 minute embargoes.

OK, I'm on board. These Quick Looks are clever, I really enjoyed the Burnout and Killzone ones.

In a post 1upocaltypic world I'm starting to really dig what Giant Bomb is doing.

I never play JRPGs, FFIV is the only one I've ever finished, and I kinda want to play Valkyria Chronicles. Are there any plans for a 360 port?

I found that one terribly boring. No offense Brad and the other guy.. but you're no Jeff and Ryan.

It is kind of like Kotaku's videopodcasts except with more emphisis on the previewing aspect. I like the more raw footage if you will instead of simply taking random vertical slices of the game...

It's an awesome game, really unique....and haven’t heard anything about being ported to 360, kina doubt that it will be but who knows.

But back on topic-yes, giant bomb is awesome

Man Persona4 looks so freakin good. It pains me that I don't have a machine that can play it right now.

Why don't they port this to the Wii or PSP

I hate JRPG's but the persona 4 video is great. I love the commentary. The dialog in that game is so bad.:lol

Edit: The ending of the first part is hilarious.:lol

how do I slip unnoticed out of a gloryhole booth?
haha, that persona feature is great. Why does a rpg today still use that narration style, that's so old school. Like Quintet old. damn.

does the flower quick look spoil anything worth experiencing first-hand? I'm really trying to go into this thing with a blank slate, but I so want to watch it. :( I shouldn't... no....

Yeah you should ignore it. Flower is the kind of game you want to go into completely fresh.

They were talking about the Jaguar on the latest bombcast and Jeff said "Ok next quick look: Jaguar." It was obviously a joke, but I would love to see this.

Killzone 2s multi looks great. I really hope it encourages voice chat I hate online without good communication.

As for the quicklook the 3min limit on KZ2 footage killed it a bit, the dubbed Jeff was great but the edits and pace made it seem just like any other video preview than what Giant Bombs quick looks have become.

Yeah, it's not my favorite way to cover a game, but I guess I can understand them not wanting people to run off and post video of the entire game or something. Plus, between the article I wrote about the game's multiplayer and the past couple of podcasts, I feel like we've discussed just about everything that I'd cover in one of those Quick Looks.

Besides, not covering Killzone to death leaves me and Vinny more time to play Persona 4.

Additionally, you can still make another quick look later down the line. One that's in the spirit of the series.

Thanks Jeff, these are really appreciated.

There is something really refreshing about viewing a unedited section of a game along with discussion. I have also checked out a few videos of games I would never have looked at because of this.

It's really the opposite effect of the chopped up action trailers that turn me off and don't give any indication of how you would feel with a game along with a mini podcast over the top and I love them for that.
