The GiantBomb Quick Look Thread

Kind of dislike that they show all the unlockable characters in Gears 3 in the character select screen, even the Cole Train skin you could only get from the beta.
 
I'm having weird flickering on the Gears 3 Quick look 24 minutes in. I tried viewing it on both my PC and Mac and it's the same for both.

Anyone else having this problem or able to offer any help as to how I can fix it?

That seems to happen with some quicklooks for me, I was noticing it in the menu here a lot.
 
I tried downloading it and watching it that way and it must be a problem with the video because it is still happening.

This is the HD version but it looks to be happening in all the other ones too. It should be a problem with the upload and should be a problem for everyone.

I don't want to add this next to the constant screen tearing on PC Quick Looks as problems that they need to fix. :\

Just got half way through the Gears 3 quick look - yeah it's a problem.

Only in the menus here too. Probably only acting up because of their compression not liking the really slight way in which the background animates.
 
Gears of War 3 - Beta Quicklook, Main Quick Look = 50 minutes, Shows off Online modes (Game not out at time of QL)
Resistance 3 - No Beta Quicklook (even tho promised on ILM), Main Quick Look = 20 minutes, no showing off online modes (despite game out same day as QL)

-.-

To be fair, we KNOW they are huge fans of Gears. Jeff always talks about how vested he is in the single-player/lore/etc.

Gears of War - Good series.
Resistance - Average/shitty series.

They once explained it's caused by their cloud hosting service.
 
Resistance 3 got some really great reviews and looks interesting but this is the same shit someone brought up in the podcast thread. Giant Bomb don't cover everything, and Resistance is really not as big as you think it is.
 
I want to buy Renegade Ops based on how happy it make Brad (it looks awesome too). However, I have not bought a full price XBLA game in years - I always wait for sales.

Waiting for this one will be hard :/

Holy shit loool

Here I'm sitting, I can only hear through one ear so I always use one earbud. The music is catchy and all but after a couple of minutes I think to myself "why aren't they talking"? So I fastforward and search through all the 50 minutes of the clip but to no avail. And then I try out the other earbud and notice all the QL banter from the crew is only coming out of one channel xD

Okay, obviously the Resistance fanbase on GAF is seriously butthurt over the fact that Giantbomb doesn't give too much of a fuck over it. We get it.

Not at all, just given some set up

Because you spoilered your second comment, people won't be sure whether it contains a spoiler about Gears or whether it reveals that your first statement is false. So they might not read it and then take you seriously and avoid the QL for no reason.

I was wondering if one of my speakers was broken at first! yeah, it’s a bit weird sounding.
 
Jesus, let a man breathe. This is the first week where i really feel like im not paying them enough for content. If they had maintained a clip similar to this throughout the last year then it wouldve made subscribing the easiest choice ever.

Number of people who care about Resistance 3: around one to two million.

Number of people who care about Gears of War 3: around ten+ million.

I think the coverage is pretty fair considering the size and importance of their respective releases.

No offense intended... I mean I watched the R3 QL and thought it looked awesome and I now plan on buying it whereas I had only been peripherally aware of the series until now. So keep that in mind when I ask:

Do you seriously think that Resistance is anywhere remotely close to being as major a release as a new Gears of War title?
 
I fucking cried laughing when Jeff posted that comment in the Trackmania 2 Quick Look. So random.

They should do a monthly Trackmania 2 QL for subscribers.
I would buy a subscription if they done this.
