The Giant Bomb Quick Look Thread 2

I wish the streaming option actually worked. It's the same a progressive for me.

I accidentally misclicked a bookmark 30 minutes into the WWE quicklook and now i have to wait for it to load all the way back up to the spot, which is taking forever.

Same for me, if I want proper streaming I have to switch to Youtube now.
 
I had so much fun with the story creator in SmackDown vs. Raw 2010. Improvements to that feature is probably the only reason I'd ever buy another WWE game.

I really wish they'd release PC versions of these games to get around the crappy interface and load times. All I really want to do is create wrestlers and stories.
 
Tank Tank Tank looks like decent fun, but it being a full priced retail game is a complete joke. Also, the graphics are awful and the announcer is insanely annoying. No reason this shouldn't have been a download release
 
Tank Tank Tank kinda looks like shit. Looks like a game I would have a novel experience with spending $5 at an arcade and then never think twice about ever again.
Also, I feel like we are going to have to relive another gen cycle of horrendous bloom lighting with the WiiU.

Tank Tank Tank seems like a game that would have been on the Dreamcast. Very late 90s arcade feel to it.

Yeah, I had this exact same feeling, and searched to see if anyone else vocalized the same thought. Not only do the effects look bad, the lighting filled with bloom, and the geometry simple as hell (I was in disbelief with that building falling), but the game appears to be very basic. Full price for something like this is bonkers.
 
Frankly, it doesn't seem too different an experience from Metroid Blast, which is one-twelfth of Nintendo Land. It might have slightly more modes, but at the same time it looks far worse from a visual standpoint.
 
That WWE 13 Story. Oh man.

That'd be too awesome for words. It'd be cool if each of the crew's Top 10 lists were done in the style of a type of game or genre they like. Though I don't think Jeff or Alex particularly love the simulation-style mainline WWE games enough.
 
Time Travel & Ghost Problem stories were hilarious

Remember that it is a launch title also. Everyone's standards are lower for launch titles. Tank Tank Tank really does look weak as hell though.
 
Holy shit I just watched Ravaged. So glad I didn't stumble into any spoilers. I haven't been able to stop laughing for a solid 45 minutes and counting.

Tank Tank Tank exists to make Nintendo Land look amazing by contrast.

looks like it could exist as a nintendoland game tbh.

I asked jeff on tumblr, seems like there are no other restrictions outside of the weird 30 sec thing (before launch) for wii U.

I guess that means they can capture stuff without second screen if they want to.
 
I'm stunned at how bad Halo 4 looks. I loved Reach, with its beautiful vistas and rich colors, but man does Halo 4 just look like a bunch of boring brown caves and grey metal. Yuck.

Actually watching a Let's Play right now, just because I can't believe how bad everything in that hour long Quick Look seemed.

Wow if that's true, then the marketing sure fooled me. I've been under the impression Halo 4 was brimming with lush environments.

Well, that is just the section they played through during the quick look, so the other arenas may be more interesting. But I do agree, the section theyplayed through didn't look all that amazing.

They played through more than one section though; one long single player section, which I would say counts as two, plus a multiplayer match and a coop match. All of it was either brown or grey. It was very alarming.

In the Let's Play I'm watching, after about 20 minutes I finally see some green. It's relieving, but still at this point I don't think this game has a chance at looking as good as Reach did. Technical specs aren't the only thing that matters. In fact, they're often inconsequential (Journey, Wind Waker).
 
I haven't been into Halo for years, and I don't even own a 360, actually, but I've still been getting unexpectedly caught up in the hype for Halo 4. Not sure why, exactly.

It's probably all the Metroid Prime comparisons that were being thrown about.

Reach is pretty damn drab, and that's coming from someone who put 300+ hours in it. It had really cool skyboxes but man I don't get where "Lush" is coming from. Certainly the worst Halo artistically, and on the technical side it has bad framerate issues. That's not even mentioning the horrible forge world gray we were forced to endure. Reach really is the first Halo game with bad use of color.

Halo 4 blows it away graphically and artistically in every facet except for skyboxes. There's a shitload of environmental variety and good use of color. Even the gray forerunner sections look jaw dropping and I thought I'd never say that about a Forerunner environment again.

That really only amounts to the aesthetic. There are certainly heavy Prime influences in art design, and the new enemy design actually, but in terms of progression they've borrowed nothing from there.
 
All Halos have had horrific colour palette problems, even if they are way more colourful than most other modern shooters.
 
When does the time travel and ghost stories happen in the WWE QL? I've been watching it for 20 minutes while reading GAF so I wasn't really paying attention. Did I miss it already?

Well that still seems relatively appealing to me, I'm not sure I'd want legit Metroid in my Halo. I dunno, whatever 343's done here just seems to have caught my attention, which is honestly something I'd never have expected to happen with a Halo game again.

I felt the same way, I thought after Reach I'd be done with the series, but the Prime look, and the fact my normal coop friend wasn't buying it, lead me to picking it up today, and I'm very glad I did.
 
Halo 4 looks absolutely incredible. Every level I've played has managed to wow me in some way and I'm only on chapter 4. Reach is no comparison. It's more varied, has a better frame rate, has much stronger art design, etc. technical superiority isn't even the thing that stands out the most.
 
When I do ultimately get around to buying a 360, there are two retail games I know will be in my shopping cart: Tales of Vesperia and Halo 4.

And a basket full of MS spacebucks cards to play all those XBLA games I missed. :P
