Is it just me, or has the rate of original video content slowed dramatically since they moved to the new offices? I could understand why it was happening during the move, but I haven't really seen the pace picked up at all in the past couple of weeks.

Well, it's not like there's been a whole lot of games coming out lately :/. IIRC, they even said in the last bombcast that there are literally zero new games this week.

Then it's a perfect time for a new endurance run!

A man can dream :/

that's what i thought rorcraft was gonna be :(

I have zero interest in WOW so the rorcraft videos aren't appealing to me at all. What i would like is for a mini endurance run of a short but overlooked game, that's the only way i can a new ER being done this year, i would hate having to wait until next year for a new ER.

I guess I just hoped that they'd take this opportunity to go back over those games that came out earlier this year and were lost in the shuffle.

Then again, GB does do a great job of covering a ton of games that I've never heard of before, so maybe not.
 
Man HAWX doesn't look like something I would enjoy AGAIN.

At first I thought the game looks like HAWX but without the stupid and then Ryan went into "Off-Mode" :(

I can't believe they didn't copy Wings of Prey's from behind like aim/target system it's what this game need.

no thanks , one ER per year is more than enough.

I'd like to see a local TNT episode. They just need to hook up some consoles and compete against each other. Put some stupid bet like eating rotten fish for the loser so everyone will play to their fullest and bingo, epic TNT.

Is it safe to assume we'll see a Civ V QL today, from Ryan's comments in the bombcast?
Click to expand...
Seem like it might be too far out from release for a QL. Might just be a preview. I hope it's a QL though cause I want to actually see the game being played for a bit, instead of just short clips out of context.
 
the little skirt thing on it looked ENORMOUS compared to the plane even when it was still a few hundred feet away, and then all of a sudden it just jumped into place :lol most of the time ryan was trying to line it up and it looked like he was right on top of it, it was like 500ft away. so weird.
 
Q
will they actually do a QL for Michigan ? because iirc the game only available in PAL/Europe so they have to import it with PAL PS2 or something.

Also the control of the jet seems to be really twitchy. That's really noticeable when Ryan has to use the cannon.

yeah,I thought it's just me been used to Ace Combat.

I wish WiiWare and PSN could get as much attention from these guys as XBLA does.

Lack of PSN attention seems to be PSN's fault. Their Deathspank QL was the PSN version. Has anything interesting and exclusive come out since Joe Danger?

Yeah, but it's probably not to their tastes. Would they really play that japanese shoot-em-up, or landit bandit? I'm sure those two would make for good quick looks. I'm sure when the next standout PSN title comes out, they'll do a quick look of it.

They seemed to express interest in Landit Bandit on the Bombcast, so... I dunno. Maybe they're just fanboys not paying enough attention to PSN. They did a QL of the fucking Terminator PSP Mini and Tomena Sanner on WiiWare, so god knows how they pick what stuff to cover on PSN and WiiWare, seems to be pretty random.

Yeah, I suppose they play whatever they think will make for an entertaining quick look. I'd love to see them do more PSN and Wiiware stuff, but they probably get more XBLA codes than they do PSN codes.

Why would they want to do that? It's PAL only, yeah.

No, it was when somebody realized for the first time that phoenix down meant phoenix feathers.

Oh, right, well you'd need a bit more than basic bird knowledge to know that, imho :S Especially if English is your second language. It's also something quite nasty according to urban dictionary ;)

Pretty sure that was the first day I realized that as well :p

See these are the kind of Quick Looks I really don't enjoy. While this game certainly doesn't look good it doesn't look like it's as bad as Ryan is trying to make it. By ignoring everything the game is telling him which then causes him to stay in a certain area for too long or redo something a ton of times .

I don't really see his thinking in doing stuff like that, fair enough you know the game isn't going to be good by why give an unfair impression of it on top of that by ignoring shit? Guess it's just Ryan being Ryan.

Ryan is kind of an ignoramus.

Warning: This is a stealth Quick Look EX. Ryan hops around, leans, and doggy paddles his arms for 6 minutes while a Sega PR rep talks.

Good thing you warned me I was about to preorder!
 
This has to be the least enthusiastic PR dude ever. Ah well, he's promoting Sonic, I'll forgive him for indifference. Game looks slightly buggy atm, but it's still got some time to go before launch, so w/e.
 
that sonic game looks AWFUL, control looks really jerky and unnatural, i love the idea of kinnect (if it was coupled with peripherals when needed) i just think next gen kinnect will be where its at.
