I know right?

Giant Bomb have never claimed to have a great selection of cars.

Yeah, but they do have a mix of premium and standard!

 

[MassiveNights]

That Jeff burn on Tumblr is some great shit. I hope the Tumblr mods don't shut down his Tumblr.

 

[Myggen]

I'm surprised there hasn't been a Stars Wars Battlefront quick look.

I know Austin and Vinny took a look at the beta, but I wanted to see more maps and game modes.

Dan said there'd be one this week on UPF.

 

[Death Metalist]

Is Amiibo Festival a party game like Mario Party?

Yes.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I am contemplating sending this to Dan because I am bored.

[Twin Tails]

If Amiibo Festival is just mp then I hope they do a full game for the ql.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Jeez, the GT stuff was just a little joke off the back of that podcast thread. Y'all are pretty uptight for a bunch of folk that like a stupid video game website.

No one is offended, people just don't want this thread to be shut down over something so dumb and pointless that mods have already said needs to stop.

 

[Teddified]

I hope they go with the longest possible mode for the Amiibo Festival Festival.

 

[Myggen]

Yes.

The like/dislike ratio of that video is some quality stuff.

OK I get it, Gran Turismo is serious business.

Summary of tomorrow's stream...

 

[santeesioux]

I hope we get a regular Animal Crossing game on the NX, I was really looking forward to an HD one on the Wii U.

If the rumor is true and it's a handheld and console platform, at the very least you should be able to play the portable one on your big screen. It's not perfect, but if we assume the handheld part is a decent jump over the 3DS it might not be 1080, but it still could probably look pretty good.

 

[Dineren]

I try to keep an open mind, but amiibo festival looks terrible. I can't believe it's $60 even if they are including two amiibo.

Yeah, I really hope that is true, It would be great to have a unified Nintendo system with the ability to play all of their games on a tv in hd.

 

[MassiveNights]

It was a rainy weekend,

 

[TraBuch]

Wait, are there any minigames in Amiibo Festival?

 

[Death Metalist]

I'm surprised there hasn't been a Stars Wars Battlefront quick look.

Speak of the devil, Quick Look: Star Wars: Battlefront

 

[Keyser Soze]

Wait, are there any minigames in Amiibo Festival?

I think there are some, although it is not a core part of the game. I have been reading some reviews, and it seems many are comparing the game to an interactive storybook - which could be fun if they embrace the stupidity on the stream.

 

[Lelcar]

Why in the hell is Dan going beardless for this long? Enough is enough man, get that beard back!

 

[MassiveNights]

Dan's reaction to that tablet was amazing.

I might send in loads more weird Scottish stuff.

 

[yami4ct]

It'll be interesting to see what unified platform ends up meaning. At least, it means ports should be really easy. It might end up meaning all NX handheld games work on the console, but not necessarily vice versa. At the very best it means all NX games have lower power versions that run on the handheld system. The fact the console itself seems to use cartridges gives a bit of credence to that one.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Youtube URL is up for Animal Crossing...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8WgS6fSyp4

This looks suspiciously like another game we know...

See you all tomorrow!

 

[Hindl]

Oh nice Jeff got sent a G4 I've been loving mine

Remember haggis is banned over there, unfortunately.

 

[Keyser Soze]

So are Kinder Surprises' :/

 

[AcridMeat]

Rick Fox is the coolest motherfucker alive, so LoL should use him as their logo from now on.

I hope the owners of Sacramento are better at running a League team than they are running a basketball team.

Rick Fox recently asked Hayward post-game about off-season LCS news. He's awesome and been great for pushing e-sports as a positive thing.

As for the Kings team, they brought over a ton of really talented players, and look to be a great team for the next season.

Cheesecake is indeed the best. I made a key lime cheesecake this weekend and it was the BEST THING.

Also cheesecake is super easy to make, fyi.

What? Tell me more! I always assumed it was more involved.

Why in the hell is Dan going beardless for this long? Enough is enough man, get that beard back!

Maybe he's doing an opposite no shave November.

 

[Myggen]

Remember haggis is banned over there, unfortunately.

That might change pretty soon.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Even these days now that Kinder Surprises are shit and are just little figures that you don't assemble and are harder to swallow?!

[EDIT -

That might change pretty soon.

Yes, I heard! I would pay money for Dan to try it. ]

 

[MassiveNights]

I could send them veggie haggis? It's better anyway!

 

[giant_frying_pan]

I think that's fair game!

Now I just want some haggis pakora.

 

[Curufinwe]

Save the creepiness till the weekend.

Has Patrick said why he doesn't post on tumblr any more? Unless I am seeing a weird caching error it has been over a month.

Used to be a good way to keep track of his stuff.

He posted there yesterday that he had been ignoring tumblr for too long and that he's now back!

edit: This Battlefront QL is pretty great. Just Jeff half-remembering some Star Wars lore and them marvelling at how ridiculous the game is.

 

[Volotaire]

The like/dislike ratio of that video is some quality stuff.

Impressively, Federation Force still beats it.

[Antiwhippy]

Battlefront continues the trend of Dan/Jeff shooter quick looks that are fucking hilarious.

I don't think I realized just how unhappy people were at this.

 

[Death Metalist]

 

[yami4ct]

The Federation Force uproar is real real dumb. It seems like the Valkyria of the Azure Revolution anger might end up getting up there too.

srpgs are lame so those people should be happy

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Rush Hour is dumb and Brett Ratner should be banned from making movies

as long as he's not banned from making music videos

 

[yami4ct]

I think the Valkyria anger is dumb, but you take that back about SRPGs. I much prefer them on handhelds, but the genre is awesome.

 

[Incandenza]

I hope they actually show some missions or something. It seems like all the video out there so far is just extended clips of people fucking around with god mode on, which is fun and all but it doesn't actually sell me on the game.

 

[StoveOven]

3.5 hour Bombcast

 

[Keyser Soze]

That is a GB East joint too... as Vinny uploaded the header image

http://www.giantbomb.com/images/1300-2799010

Hooray.

I hope they let Vinny play ranter than PR/Dev in control.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Same, it's going to be interesting seeing what Nintendo does with that game.

The missions will probably be kind of bad.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

That's a lot.

 

[Myggen]

3.5 hour Bombcast

Might be the longest normal Bombcast ever.
