Trials Evolution looks amazing.

 

[sixghost]

That video made me jump from apathetic to extremely skeptical on Steel Battalion.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Steel Battalion makes young me cry tears of joy...

Kinect Star Wars makes young me cry - in the other not nice way.

Quick Look: Nexuiz (Brad/Dave) (20:33)

Just Brad and Dave. That's an unusual pairing.

Kinda fitting, since Dave was an angry shack kid and Brad still has some Quake muscle memory left.

 

[Htown]

Trials Evolution looks amazing.

It's nice that they just turned it into Excite Bike.

I am halfway through and it really doesn't sound like Brad has been enjoying the game so far. When he talks about it being clunky I could not help but think about the troubled development. It really seems like people should wait for reviews on this one.

Not even close.

Lost his own save, lol.

Hah, that Kasavin impression, so good.

The 4-player mode is absolutely Excite bike. Sidescrolling, riding motorcyles up and down hills while leaning left and right to ensure that you land correctly? Excitebike. I'm pretty sure those were even the Excite Bike motorcycle colors.

You say that like it's a bad thing. And watch the trailer, even multiplayer courses get more complicated.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

We need one of when Drew turned around and the plane shot him in the face.

Ok

[slaughterking]

Ok

The head movement is so great.

 

[Riposte]

Trials:Excitebike::Super Meat Boy:Super Mario Brothers

So it is a simpler version of Excitebikes with messy, dull level design? How!?

 

[Felix Lighter]

The head movement is so great.

Especially when you consider it was Drew actual natural reaction.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

Oh man I haven't watched the quick look yet but those gifs... dat head movement. Someone get Vinny a racing wheel. I want some racing game quicklooks with head tracking too!

What an impressive oversimplification of Trials gameplay.

Didn't they do a quick look of a similar game on one of the WMHH? What was its name? I drawing a blank.

Edit: They said it just as I unpaused the video lol, Its name is Xonotic

 

[StuBurns]

While I Am Alive looks really janky and low rent, it's a concept that'd have great appeal if it's execution was more fully formed. I can see why Ubi would have pursued the project as much as they have. I'll grab it, if and when it's on a hefty sale.

Nexuiz on the other hand looks pretty lackluster. I'm certainly no PC elitist, but that kind of game really feels like it should be on PC, and even if not, you have Q3A and UT3 on the platform already. Seems redundant. Pretty though.

 

[BlazeHedgehog]

I kind of wish they had picture-in-a-picture so I could see just how much Drew was moving his head to look around like that. I can't imagine he was actually looking behind him unless he had a mirror mounted behind this seat.

I would guess it is calibrated so that turning your head 45 degrees = ~160 degrees behind you as at 45 you can see see whats in front of you with your eyes.

 

[SapientWolf]

How delightfully saucy. I'm talking about difficulty here.

 

[watership]

If Excite Bike was the greatest game of this generation, you'd be right.

That seems really awkward.

I cannot fathom trying to play this type of game with a controller.

...Meat Boy is a simpler Mario Brothers?

 

[Darklord]

Ok

Awesome. Now someone just has to add Bish's avatar to the enemy plane and we have ourself a banned gif!

I hope this is a sign that Jeff's family situation has worked out in a good way.

 

[randomlyrossy]

I hope this is a sign that Jeff's family situation has worked out in a good way.

He said on the Bombcast he was coming down with a cold, or at least felt that way. So he thought going into the hospital like that would be a bad idea. Hence him going back to the office for the Quick Look and podcast.

The Vinny/Dave/Drew content... random ass PC game, load our last save, or these flight related quick looks... this is the best stuff Giant Bomb does and it's the only stuff that keeps me coming back. I love it. I look forward to it.

They should have waited with RoF until this was implemented;

That would have been GIF worthy material for sure

What is wrong with that guys arm?!

 

[Sethos]

What is wrong with that guys arm?!

It's WiP material from the development blog, not finished.

Plus the skin is most likely a long glove.

With a reference to Dave's kayaking/iPhone incident to boot. Excellent!

Just gave this a go, actually decent game. A lot more forgiving than Rise of FLight

 

[derFeef]

Oh wow Jeff is constantly complaining about ME3 during the QL :/
Like little things that I am sure he is right about in his point of view, but it sounds waaayy to harsh.

MS Flight looks alright, too bad the microtransactions are going to block my enjoyment of it.

What's he saying bad about the game, not that I care, when his opinion was ME2 had good design.

Most of those complaints didn't sound minor.
