What format did you use ?
I downloaded the .wma file and it was corrupt.
Awesome show... best one yet.
Halo 3 roundtable was fun. Obviously we weren't gonna see any actual game footage, but you could tell that Luke, Mark and Dan had a hell of a time at Bungie. Appreciated the fact that they defended the alpha state of the game from negative nellies, and talked about what a great experience they had just playing what was available. That, to me, bodes VERY well as to what the finished product will be like.
Red Steel mutiplayer looks like poop on a stick. Sorry, mates... not buying. I got the impression that the guys really wanted to crucify the sad thing, but were cautiously reserved in their comments.
Yoshi DS actually looked like a lot of fun, and I commend Shane for sticking to his guns. I mean, it's not his fault if you're a complete loser and don't have the skills and patience to slug your way through a challenging stage. In the 80's we would've torn that shit up in a weekend.
Gears looked amazing, as always. It's encouraging to hear from Luke that the stop-and-pop gameplay seems to be exactly as CliffyB described it. Also great to know that there's a large variation in environments throughout the game. I can't wait to take down my first Corpser. Next week, bitches!
As for Zelda, that had to have been one of the best previews I've ever seen. Music is phenomenal... animation is phenomenal... graphics are borderline jaw-dropping, considering the type of hardware pumping them out. Nintendo absolutely did the right thing with the numerous delays because, from all indications, it appears that they have delivered the greatest game in the entire series. Perhaps even the greatest game in their long and storied history. I can't wait... and neither can you

At 67%, freaking slow servers.
Just finished the show streaming - I dunno how you guys have connection problems, but it was silky smooth for me - and I'm in Europe (hugs fast connection)...
Nice bits of Halo 3 "water-cooler talk" inbetween the show - pre-alpha, and it's already that fun - excellent!!!
Gears looks and moves simply amazing... and from the guys' impressions, it delivers... it ****ing delivers...
Not like anybody's review of the game was going to stop me based on what I've seen and what I've read from everyday gamers, but just hearing these guys talk about it like that just adds to the totally positive reactions worldwide for this game...
I'm not getting a Wii, and I probably won't be touching my Cube again, but Zelda sounds nice...
Red Steel... oi...
It looks and moves like an N64 game... it's games like these that convinced me a long time ago that the Wii just isn't for me at all... the killer thing is cool, but that's it...

I don't want to spend 70 hours on a game. I'd love it to be 20-30 hours
You shut your mouf!
Yeah, I thought that was actually pretty cool. Unfortunately, I have zero interest in the game. Hopefully someone steels (hehe) the idea and uses it elsewhere.Nameless said:
It's pretty spoiler-ish. For pre-release stuff, it's like a ... 8/10 on the level of what could be spoiled I think (though that's an exponential scale).Amir0x said:how spoiler-ish is the Zelda:TP segment? I don't want to watch and cry cry

I watched it and let's just say it reveals a bit more than I wanted it to (story-wise). Still the preview is goddamn awesome, especially when they're talking about the size of Hyrule field and dungeons. Some journo's asked if some early dungeon was the actual 'first' dungeon of the game, since you were solving puzzles and opening chests, but it was just still intro. Amazing.

Wells theres two ways you can tackle a game of that size
1) Binge on the game for a week
D lol)2) or tackle it in chunks, an hour or two a day. Should be able to beat it within the month
gears looks exceptional, people moaning about the length of Zelda.... LOL if your iffy about it simply play it over a period of a few months, why do you have to complete games within the first week of purchase ?
Red Steel Multiplayer looked poor, frame rate was terrible, visuals werent great either maybe its fun I dont know. :\

The spoilers ruin the story bits that you would learn in the first 30 minutes of the game. And they only ruin them vaguely, no real detail.
Also, sign me up for the "70 hours is too long" club. I just don't have that kind of time. I replayed Wind Waker in the spring at took me probably a good month to do. Now this game is going to be twice as long. I'm not sure I can remain interested no matter how great the game is. And does 9 dungeons for 70 hours seem like that means there's a LOT of extra filler? I don't want to be spending hours just doing side things between dungeons. Occasionally, yeah, it's good to get away from a dungeon, but hopefully it's not too much.
So, from my absolutely useless point of view since I basically know nothing about the game, those are my complaints.
Don't worry though, I still have it as my only preordered game and the only one I'll have for Wii for months. I'm definitely gonna enjoy. Just some nagging worries.

Not particularly. They basically splice up the the trailer already released with Bill Trinen talking about the game / story, answering questions, and playing.
So, you're really not missing much. But, what little I did have spoiled for me definitely makes me want the game all the more.

I too have an issue with Zelda's length...
It's too short.
It's too short.
Jeez, Zelda looked AMAZING on that HDTV in the background there. Like well beyond anything we've seen from the Cube. Question is...will the Cube version actually look that good as well?
Gears looks good, too.
I love the talk of man cannon skeet shooting in Halo 3.
Best 1Up show yet? Quite possibly.
