Well, it's all Jeff's decision. If he wanted to, he could still make these quick look videos with just using that one free play of a game. For 99% of the games in game room, I think that would be just fine.

At least he isn't so crazy as when game room first launched, and he was considering to review *every* game on game room. Now that would be pure insanity.

-He does this specific thing in almost every quick look and it drives me nuts "Okay, so I don't wanna spoil anything, but here's EVERYTHING WHICH HAPPENED UP TO THIS POINT." He really needs to learn to not spoil anything at all when he's even saying he doesn't wanna spoil anything.

so true :lol

if theres anything I have learned about the GB guys its that as soon as Brad says the words 'I don't want to spoil anything' you know MASSIVE SPOILERS are incoming

he usually talks around it for a few minutes but its like he's a ship being slowly dragged into the centre of a spoiler whirlpool and eventually he's just sucked down into the spoiler ocean and spews it all out.

The worst time I can think of was the QL for the Left 4 Dead 2 DLC mini-campaign, The Passing. In case anyone doesn't know, it was hyped up because you'd meet 3 of the original L4D1 survivors... only three, because one of them has died. You meet one randomly picked L4D1 survivor at the beginning, and the reveal of who died happens in a second scene near the end.

Brad started up the campaign, got the two cutscenes confused, and said, "Yeah well I don't know why that longer scene didn't play this time. But yeah, ____ is dead. ____ died! They're gone! So yeah, he's dead."

And right on the front page in the top stories: "QL: L4D2: The Passing / No ____ here."


If I hadn't already played the DLC, I would have been so pissed.
 
i'd kind of like to see Brad and Dave do some after how interested he seemed in Civ 5 and the whole SC2 thing. *cough* Victoria 2 *cough*

also i dont actually care about the brad spoilers, its just funny because he talks around it for so long before dropping the S-bomb and then people get so angry :lol
 
I just tried to watch a video on the iPhone app for the first time in a while and videos just boot you back to the menu screen when attempting to load. Did they make any changes to being able to watch videos on the app?

they probably abandoned that app since the videos works on the browser now. use safari, it works fine.

As chogidogs said, they've pretty much abandoned the iPhone app as this point and haven't updated it in a long time and definetly won't be again now they've got the mobile site for members.

You're best using the site proper or using Zombie James' awesome webapp MiniBomb


Edit: After watching that Move video I really can't see why Kung Fu Rider needs motion controls at all. Also is that a full retail game? That's pretty crazy if it is, doesn't seem like much game there to warrant a disc.

The mini games look very similar to some of the EyeToy Play stuff (with the added cool move tech obv) which is to say they'd be fun to play with a big group of family or such.
 
What got censored?

Some good stuff (tumble), some bad stuff (kung fu rider) and some insane stuff (start the party). All in all, it looks kinda fun! :D

I bought Tumble after I played the demo and can totally recommend it. The game also ramps up quite nicely. Now I am at a stage which has earthquakes...

Why again did NT get the DMC deal?
There's not a lot of successful BTA developers this gen: Platinum Games, Santa Monica Studios,... The rest ranges from average to mediocre.

Story plot-stuff obviously.

Geez, Enslaved is basically Uncharted. Especially when they mention "knock down ladders", "find another way around" and other terms.

It's not like Uncharted wasn't just an collection of things taken from other games.
 
Majine said:
B-b-but ruins :lol I bet Nolan North is hidden away somewhere too.

Again, that's not something unique to Uncharted.

Heh, I remember in January when like.. four games with North came out that month. The Northies are gonna be crowded.
 
Is that start the party a full price retail game? Aside from putting a 3D object on the wand, it looks just like a bad Eye Toy game.

I would be. Yes game room is worthless now even though it started out good, but I still find the videos very very entertaining.
 
I don't know if it's the approriate place to ask for this (if it's not, sorry), but do you guys know other websites who do ''quick look'' like Giantbomb? I've already watched all of them (beside the gameroom one).

You can find all kinds of gameplay videos on youtube, with or without commentary, if that's what you meant. But the quality may vary.

I would. They are my favorite quick looks, especially now that it has devolved into obscure games I have never heard of.

That's true, but it's hard to find good stuff when you don't really know who on youtube make those good videos. Do you have names for me?

Playstation Move Round-up

man Move games are bad , and after watching PlayStation Move Round up and Sports Champions QL I don't know why these games are $40 or on blu-ray disc.

-Sports Champions only have 6 mini games ( 3 of them need 2 Move controllers to play better ) and without online play.
-Kung Fu Rider seems to be PSN games that use DualShock 3 and they decided to Duct tape Move controls on it and sell it for $40 for some reasons.
-Start the Party have less mini games than EyeToy Play and that just insane for a $40 disc release.
