Still doesn't beat the gold that is them posting trailers on the site from their youtube channel, which they reencode to be 360p, followed by people then in the comments embeding proper HD YouTube mirrors.

Yeah that is super dumb, bandwidth issues or no. There's almost no point in them putting trailers on the site for non-members if they are going to have them at such low quality. It's a bizarrely naive thing for those guys to do.

Report from the other GB thread:

If anyone is going to watch Tuesday Afternoon Throwdown, then avoid 10:00 to 10:20 as there is a BIG Gears of War 3 spoiler on someone's XBL motto/bio thing in there.

Oh NO! Which story secret will be spoiled?! The dark secret behind Marcus' Father? The dark secret behind the locust origins? The dark secret behind the lambent? Exactly which of the characters I care so much about will die?! :p

Would it even be possible to read the spoilers with GiantBomb's exceptional video quality?
 
I for one think Giantbomb has enough decent Premium content at this point that making all free videos available in HD on youtube wouldn't hurt there Premium numbers all that much.


but yeah I am totally sure they are not listening to a word we are saying and just lumping "youtube 360p sucks" in with "kessler sucks" and "brad is bad at games".

So it's not just the dildo search? Even more SR3 from these guys? Awesome, I usually don't like their quick looks but they seem to have fun with SR3 and aren't stuck on stuff.

Of course. That dildo run is just their interns. Judging by the bombcast the other guys are also having a lot of fun with it.

Well if look at gb's premium exclusive content I think that is worth the money for most people who follow giantbomb.

Decent video quality should not be a premium only feature given HD videos are free on every single other website out there. I bet even gamebomb.ru has atleast 720p video

I do believe that maybe I have complained a bit much about giantbomb's special appooch to things now.


I just want decent quality video without having to log into my account every time. :(

Fuck I don't even watch TNT anymore anyway. Play all the bro 360 shooters as you want on there. Just give me videos that look like they where recorded after 2004

Oh man, didn't know it wasn't the main group. Yeah the interns are indeed awesome then and should be put on the starting lineup. Rookies of the year material. I hope the main group can live up to the lead in the interns gave.
 
Well if they put Vinny on the saints row quicklook they already beat them. But yeah the interns were really good, rarely like them and Steve is usually a bit boring but it worked very nicely with him and Daniel.

Edit : lol the youtube comments.

I don't even watch these anymore due to the video quality. You can't even make out how a game looks due to it being a smeary mess. I really enjoyed them too.
 
I had that spoiled last month somewhere online, but I was never going to play Gears 3. Sucks for people who like Gears but had to wait for some reason.
 
Just because it popped into my head I had to check it out and what do you know....

Gamebomb.ru totally uploads all there videos in 720p on youtube.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5Gb-XSoHjk


there videos also get a shit load of views. lol.

100,000 + for the russian dubbed GTA5 trailer, most other random videos have around 50,000 videos.


is gamebomb.ru secretly Russian IGN or something? they seem to be doing better then GB.

Amazing. Good work funky
 
I'm actually not convinced that there's more than one guy on staff there. The reviews seem to come from just one guy, at least. Not that what I assume to be his cartoon likeness being on every review has to mean that, but yeah...

the best part?

Gamebomb killing it with there exclusive reviews. 6 month exclusive review and he didnt even have to promises to give the game a 9 or over like US sites do.

That sure is some journalistic integrity.
