Dumb question, but what's the difference between 1.6 and CS:S anyway?

CS:S runs on the Source engine and generally looks better. There were all sorts of balance and gameplay changes (some of which were considered all right, some of which were considered god awful game ruining by 1.6 purists) as time went on as well. The biggest problem is that Source uses a really wonky hit detection and lag compensation system that means the hitboxes on players will sometimes be... not at all lined up with the actual models on screen depending on network conditions and how the players are moving.

I can see why people would hate that. lol

I wonder if Valve is going to be pushing CS GO in Esports in similar fashion as they are doing with DOTA2

Man, Brad really lucked into a lot of situations and bad players in his Arms Race runs. Not to say I don't either, and it made for a good Quick Look! I almost always enjoy QLs more when the boys are enjoying themselves, and I don't think Brad would be if he was just getting stomped on for 40 minutes.

being an old school hardcore 1.6 player, I never adapted to playing CS:S seriously. good to mess around in.

Well you know what they say, I'd rather be lucky than good.

I mainly played 1.5. remember being mad at how the knife looked in 1.6. tried source a bit, but it felt foreign. GO looks pretty Sourcey.

 

[StuBurns]

I'm surprised the pug play was so bad. I'd have thought people would be demons day one.

EDIT: And Brad was right, the shield was CZ.

looks Sourcey but plays a lil more like old school CS to me.

I know even less than Jeff and Vinny about the crazy American version of football but they do make it a bit entertaining.

[crayman]

This whole physics engine thing has a real Trespasser quality to it. Not nearly as janky of course, but definitely reminiscent.

 

[faridmon]

The framerate on that American Football game is terrible

 

[The Wizard]

Vinny and Jeff are still the best Quick Look duo.

Vinny and Dave/Drew are still the best Quick Look duo.

LMFTFY

Jess is awesome though, I can't deny that.

The secret fifth member of the GB crew...


Oh no, the secret is out!

no one
you saw nothing.

 

[Nishastra]

I could watch Vinny and Jeff play sports games all day.

... Time to watch the NBA Live '95 game again

This was a thing? When did I miss this?

Madden usually runs at 60fps.

It's the first thing they played in the recent SNES TNT.

You know, Jess.

 

[LiK]

LOL, Madden animations are so bad...hilarious

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Jeff/Vinny sports Quick Looks are always the best.

 

[alr1ght]

In game ads for pizza. God bless EA.

 

[Data West]

I wonder if Vinny's saying 'sugar' is the result of him having a kid now.

 

[alr1ght]

Well he said fuck, so i doubt it.

 

[Data West]

Well he said fuck, so i doubt it.

Well, I can't imagine you can just quit cold turkey. He says it in the Sleeping Dogs quick look too, but then he gets angry at one of the fights and starts swearing.

 

[Red UFO]

I wonder if Vinny's saying 'sugar' is the result of him having a kid now.

Yeah, I bet he dropped an f-bomb around the baby and his wife got all up in his grill about it.

Do Madden games not sell well anymore? That game looked atrocious. I thought the sports games used to be graphical powerhouses with really good physics and hit detection. Have football games always been this bad this generation, or is this a new trend?

It's not like people who are looking for a football game have much of a choice.

EA's effort into these games has slowly declined since receiving the sole right to the NFL license. Pretty tragic to be honest that they have such a monopoly.

The NBA 2K series though has been a bright spot in the sports genre as of late.

2K13 looks great from a visual standpoint, so not everyone is mailing it in...

How I yearn for another developer to give football a go. Quick Look was hilarious at the very least.

Welcome to sports games.

I like how they just stumbled into the Jets/Pats rivalry.

They really loved the "huddle-up" sign.

Madden still sells millions across every platform, but it certainly feels like the franchise has significantly fallen out of the pop culture spotlight that it was under while it had competition from Midway, 2k, Acclaim, etc.

The exclusive license shit will be a stain on gaming. 2k's MLB game was always awful, but there's not even a MLB game on the 360 anymore.

 

[Jibbajabbawockky]

Doesn't the NFL exclusivity license with EA run out after this year? So its possible we could see more competition next year with football games once again? I'd love to see NFL 2k come back again.

MADDEN FEVER. CATCH IT

 

[Yo Gotti]

Madden '13 Quick Look was hilarious. It's not that they're bad, but those dynamic animations have a long way to go.

I don't remember Backbreaker being this funny.

Him dancing alone was funny, but add in the random topple over as he's celebrating...
