The 1UP Show: Season 2 - Episode 3

- GRAW looks incredible as I expected. I'm bummed out that there still isn't a gun model in first person but I can get over it. :P

- Enchant Arm really does look worse than GRANDIA 3 in a few parts of that video.

- GRANDIA 3 looks like it has some really annoying characters.

- I really miss XBN.

- The MGS Digital Comic looks f'ing awesome. :O Please please please be successful. Maybe DC could jump on board and do one for Batman or maybe FOX can give us a 24 digital comic.

- METAL GEAR SAGA DVD = <3
 
I could see the camera man on the reflection on the wall during the Ryan Payton interview. 1Upshow screwup lol
 
good show... GRAW is inching it's way to the top of my "holy fuck I wish I could fly, so I could learn how to fly fast enough to spin the earth to speed up time" list... which actually isn't that long of a list to begin with...
 
Superb show! HUGE props to whoever made the decision on the filters because it looks very nice indeed and removes the unavoidable cheesiness that comes from straight handheld digital footage.

The scene between Dan Hsu and Che talking about Peter Moore had some noticable jaggies on the edge of the tables! :D

GRAW is utterly mindblowingly gorgeous and as much as the multiplayer is appealing I cannot wait to play 16 player co-op through those lush city streets.
 
Yeah, good use of filters this time around. And first time I've seen subtitles on the show. I was surprised they even subtitled Che's comment in Japanese as if Japanese people are gonna view the show too. Nicely done

So, 1up show is basically the best video game show ever, right? I can't think of one that's better.

If it is then it's a depressing thought. As good as it is, and as much as I enjoy the show and those that present it.... gaming deserves a lot more than what the1Up show offers. Anyway, consolvania for the win.
 
PDZ is dead. :/

From what I've seen (just watched the footage), the game looks incredible. This is what I want out of next gen. The lighting looks amazing. The rooftop scene is fantastic too. All the detailed buildings you can see in the distance, it makes you feel like you are in a huge city. The vision depth is fantastic.

GRAW steals the next gen title away from Fight Night! Good job UBI. Can't wait to get this.
 
What am I missing? GrandiaIII looks like crap with all the jaggies and shimmering. Enchant Arm doesn't look that impressive but it looks a hell of alot better than GrandiaIII.

Just more to fast forward past. :X

Finally someone who agrees with me!

GRAW footage was amazing. I don't like Tom Clancy games but I need to give this a shot.
 
shit, I've about given up on PDZ without even seeing anything on GRAW. Seeing it now justifies my actions!
 
The 1up show theme is... eh, but at least it's better than that bouncing, twinkling light tune that gets played sometimes in the middle of a segment. God I hate that song. You know what I'm talking about, check out the segment with Che and Hsu talking.
 
I thought it was a good episode. As a show, I think its better than anything on G4 (from what I've seen).

I liked how they discussed DOA4, the Peter Moore interview and E3.

Kimi is hot (Jane is sexy too).

GRAW looks pretty good. As a Marine, I was like why did the guy lounge forward to the ground, doesn't he know he's dead, and bam, he was.
 
Good stuff :).
It's cool to see "gaming tv" finally done right.

The relaxed vibe is nice, it feels like you're just eavesdropping on some friends as they discuss games. People talking to each other, rather than the camera = good choice. This show + gamingnoise have a sense of casual honesty that really separates them from the more standard "studio" stuff.

GRAW and MGS stuff looks good... that animated comic surprisingly cool.
Looking forward to the E3 wackiness...
 
Boy, that is the second white guy I have seen in my life that could speak Japanese. Really, every damn translator is some Japanese guy. I have always wondered if it was because English speakers find the language so hard to learn.

And I don't know why they are comparing PDZ to GRAW. Every GR game I have played is like 5x better than PDZ. Sure maybe there have been a lot of rehashes but PDZ was just bad. The only similarity is that they are both FPS.
 
Awesome show today, just didn't like the em vs GIII segment. GRAW will definately be a game i pick up when i finally decide to buy a 360.

Jane was in the show alot today :) i dunno why but i think she's hawt!!!.

I think it's the whole girl+gamer thing that makes her attractive. She would probably be girlfriend material (to some, I guess). Kimi is sexy though, and I could care less what she has to say about games.

about GRAW, will the PC version be the same as the 360 version or will it be a better looking xbox version?

Neither its a totally different game being made by a team in Sweden named GRIN. They are trying to make it more like GR1 with the command map and whatnot.

It really is amazing that they have not bothered to fix the fact that 1UP DOESN'T FUCKING WORK UNDER INTERNET EXPLORER HALF THE TIME.

[xbot mode]MUST DEFEND ALL 360 GAMES!!![/Xbot mode]

Sorry but that desert bit they showed from Grandia III own3d all the EM footage. The Japanese babe is right, the world of EM feels very static/dead.

But keep up the good fight!

it really didnt. i'm sure grandia 3 is a better game, but to say it owns eM in the graphics dept is a fucking joke. for reals.

Agreed. People give this past-gen games a lot more credit than they are due.

The only great thing about the graphixx is the high resolution. Other than that it feels like a low budget game. Low poly characters, crappy/zero collision detection, shit animation, static world, weird battle camera angles that make you dizzy etc...

If grandia III was high res it would clean the house.... But that desert scene with all the wind effects etc makes EM look really bad IMO.
 
Anyone else's video (QT, large version) freeze around the halfway point? About 14:05 to be exact, right when Shane starts talking to Jane about EM. Happens to me every time. Maybe it's my Quicktime or some other problem on my PC. :/

gezus. look at the scene in eM where hes in that town with the baloons. yes, the game looks very sterile and "dead" but lord strike me by lightning if that didnt look LIGHT YEARS better then grandia 3 in texture, poly counts (low poly characters.. compared to grandia!?), etc, etc, etc. this is a dumb arguement and i quit. feel free to keep debating with yourself or any other poor soul thats gets sucked into your nonsense.
 
Best 1up episode I've seen. Very well done.

And yeah, whoever mentioned 1up looking at Ryo no Gotaku is a genius. I'd love to see more info on that game!
 
-Finally, GRAW is shaping up to be my definitive tactical shooter beside BF2 for PC

-Grandia 3, while having a solid presentation, looks a little to jPOP-centric

another solid show!

dude I know good graphics when I see em. I dunno why but Grandia III looks better to me, the world feels alive, the animation is better and the art is much better compared to EM's. EM looks like current gen with running on higher res and with slightly better textures. RPG's need to feel lively but EM feels very dead, the NPC's are barely moving.
