guys look at brad hes got a hipster haircut

 

[funkystudent]

And does Vinny lift, bro? Or is everyone just smaller around him.

Vinny doesn't lift but he has been carrying Giant Bomb for years.

The best mods are

1. Copyrighted stuff
2. Stuff the Xbox One can't do.

I think the "mods" will be stuff like... yo here's a gun that's kinda different. Which hey, that's better than nothing!

Yup.

And game balancing stuff. "Hey, play this super hard mode! Inspired by Dark Souls!"

 

[Twin Tails]

I WANNA FUCK THESE BLOCKS

 

[Zero-Crescent]

The BC list is shit to be honest. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/backward-compatibility/available-games

That list is only for the current preview. I believe they said something like 100+ games when it releases proper.

 

[Myggen]

Jeff wants to fuck some blocks.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

EA is next right? In 90 minutes?

Jeff wants to fuck some blocks.

Who doesn't though

My problem with PS Now is that it should have been Sony's "Sega Channel." A subscription service either as standalone or integrated into PS+ (can't happen now I guess) that offers an ever expanding list of classic games. Keep streaming or partial downloads or whatever helps the process be smoother. Sony could probably do the same thing with download games in an run it in an OS environment, but I like the streaming aspect. The cost of PS Now is the deterrent I personally see.

Well yeah it's just in preview atm. The way they said it made it sound like it's pretty painless for developers to add in BC so that list could shoot up fast.

Come to the GB GAF Twitch chat! Ther's only four of us and slightly less snark than GB chat!

Gimme your Twitch username if you have one then click on the chat panel on any Twitch channel and you'll see pending invitations.

I'll join! Username TheMrPliskin.

 

[Santiako]

I miss this Vinny-Jeff connection so much. They make such an amazing pair.

 

[komplanen]

"I want Minecraft in my bed. I want to fuck these blocks, Vinny. I want to augment the reality."

LMAO

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Oh god I'm expecting even less from EA than I do from Microsoft.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

"I want to fuck these blocks" deserved more laughs than it got.

 

[Bacon]

Dan really shuts down on these things huh?

"Banjo Kazooie: N n B"

Yeah, that list looks like it was written in a hurry. Wonder if BC came in hot?

Super Meat Boy saves that list.

It's gonna be weird when Vinny and Austin do their P5 ER next year.

 

[crush7337]

Dan really shuts down on these things huh?

He gets anxiety attacks. He just said in chat that it's acting up.

 

[Bacon]

He gets anxiety attacks. He just said in chat that it's acting up.

ah, fair enough. Hope he'll be ok.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

He has social anxiety so he probably can't help it.

Edit:did he have social anxiety or general anxiety?

 

[tuxfool]

Regarding the Fallout 4 mods PC-Xbox cross compatibility (that happened right?), it isn't going to be awesome as it sounds if Fallout 4 needs an out-of-game script extender like every previous Bethesda open world game, which is what all the grandest mods will require to work properly.

Yeah. The mod support is probably limited, I suspect that it will spit out an error or maybe have some sort of dependency tracking which will warn you of incompatibility.

 

[patapuf]

Oh god I'm expecting even less from EA than I do from Microsoft.

Mirrors Edge could be neat, but yeah. EA will be even safer than MS

Battlefront
Fifa
Madden
Need for Speed
Mass Effect?
Plants vs Zombies 2
that visceral Star wars thing.

I doubt we'll get a new ip

 

[Brandon F]

And game balancing stuff. "Hey, play this super hard mode! Inspired by Dark Souls!"

Game balancing mods are the real highlight. Anyone that has modded past Bethesda games knows that fixing combat, UI, and environmental interactions are the real deal.

 

[Zaph]

I read his book not long ago, it sounds like hell. Hopefully it doesn't ruin E3 for him.

I would say it's a safe bet environmental and UI stuff will be really restricted.

Expect a lot of 'gun x did 3 damage, it now does 4', 'mob y has 3 more hp' etc.

But I could end up pleasantly surprised, so who knows.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Fair enough then.

 

[Jomjom]

Missed the Giant Bomb talks over MS press con. What did they think? Pretty positive?

 

[DJ88]

Dan really shuts down on these things huh?

Yeah I was wondering yesterday if his anxiety has been getting to him. He's usually a very vocal guy but he's looked out of it these last 2 streams.

I read his book not long ago, it sounds like hell. Hopefully it doesn't ruin E3 for him.

Shit that sucks to hear. I hope it gets better for him soon.

 

[shadyspace]

And this is why you don't tell people you have anxiety. The entire chat is blowing up with people speculating about Dan and his anxiety every single one of these streams, every time. So now the poor guy is sitting there reading the chat and the constant speculation about this problem of his and that just makes everything so much worse. People have no subtlety.

 

[Doomshine]

Doesn't Alex as well? I feel like I've heard him talk about that.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Mirror's Edge is going to destroy dreams as they reveal just how much of a TPS it has become.

 

[Das Ace]

Hopefully he perks up!

 

[Xeteh]

I can't believe they aren't Locking it Down right now.

 

[Salsa]

is there archive up already? twitch? missed MS

people are assholes

Can't lock it down all the time, I have a gif budget to work with here.

Am I allowed to say that the MGS trailer is kinda meh?

Excited for Mirror's Edge, I just watched that fan made video of it yesterday.

Wonder if they'll show that Criterion extreme sports type game in more detail?

EDIT -

Am I allowed to say that the MGS trailer is kinda meh?

Sure! Worth it for the end bit with

Spoiler

Solid and Liquid

 

[Xeteh]

Nothing really happened in it except my realization that Big Boss has a half set of horns thing going on which looks really dumb.

 

[HotHamWater]

Rewind through this?

[Mister Negative]

you're probably going to feel that way unless you're super duper into MGS.

I mean, take a look at the trailer thread, everyone's freaking out over the end (rightfully so, imo)

Brother I failed to mention the horse dicks. I don't ever forget 'em.

 

[a secret-boss]

WTF I was watching rewind then it stopped. Youtube is not loading too

 

[TharpDaddy]

Missed the Giant Bomb talks over MS press con. What did they think? Pretty positive?

They seemed pretty positive on it. Not much seemed to blow their minds but overall it sounded like they thought it was solid.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Alright, I have to get groceries before the next stream!

 

[Fried Food]

Wrong thread.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Wait, what happened in the end? I saw the trailer, I played the games and I don't remember anything special about it.

 

[fatalflame]

I'm excited for EA this year.. After last years disappointing conference they have the chance to really step up and surprise this year. You got both the Battlefront and the Visceral/Amy Henning Star Wars Game. New Mirror's Edge. Possible new Bioware IP they've been teasing past two years? The Criterion extreme sports game thing.. I'm definitely looking forward to it and hope to be blown away..
