Yeah...

And that fucking sucks cause it's a holiday up here tomorrow so I could have played all day ugh

I believe that's the reason for Zaph's timer.
Don't know about the shooting range.

[hwy_61]

yeah i got so excited when best buy sent me an email saying that the release was pushed up a day.

then i found out that meant dick.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Wouldn't the servers on the first few days be fucked anyway with everyone trying to get in?

 

[funkystudent]

Can The Doom Slayer qualify for Best New Character?

He might actually be the actual Doom guy from Doom 1 and 2

 

[Teddified]

If Blood and Wine is just super great and lengthy I might just consider it as another game for GOTY purposes and put it on my list maybe even at 1 since I do like Witcher more then Uncharted.

Overwatch will be playable on all platforms in all regions on May 23 at 4.00 pm PDT.

as per battlenet

yeah.

Even with all of Blizzard's experience with launching massive, multiplayer games - it'll still be a complete shitshow.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

"Brad Shoemaker wants you to believe he loves DOOM, but here's what he said just five minutes ago"

whatever, this new one proved that all those Doom 3 people were absolutely fucking wrong anyway

 

[hwy_61]

IIRC diablo 3 was a shit show at launch. and it was online only so it was extra fucked.

 

[ArjanN]

whatever, this new one proved that all those Doom 3 people were absolutely fucking wrong anyway

But Brad was one of those people.

 

[Data West]

Starcraft 2 was fine on launch
Diablo 3 was bad
Warlords of Draenor was fucking awful at launch(and still is /rimshot)

I'd bet more on Overwatch being like Starcraft than Diablo since there's not as much outside bullshit and systems to worry about.

 

[Incandenza]

So I just moved into a new apartment that doesn't have ethernet access... not certain that Overwatch is gonna be playable on the 70ms pings that my PS4 is getting right now. I'm probably gonna take the risk anyway because i need this

I dunno, the beta seemed to be fine.

Anybody want the origin code for skins in other Blizz games?

ill take it

 

[SomberOwl]

So that Ninja Turtles game from Platinum is out this week.

 

[Salarians]

So, I just blind bought this game, never tried the beta. Did I do good?

It sure is silly when things advertised as "pre-order" bonuses end up just being packed in with all first print copies.

But yeah, you did good.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

So that Ninja Turtles game from Platinum is out this week.

And it looks bad, looks like this year is an off year for Platinum. At least next year should be pretty good with Nier 2 and Scalebound.

 

[Death Metalist]

So that Ninja Turtles game from Platinum is out this week.

Yeah, going to pick it up as well. 4 player co-op should be good.

Scalebound looks like trash tho

 

[Hot Coldman]

Scalebound screamed "WHY AM I BEING DEMO'D AT A PRESS CONFERENCE" to me when we last saw it. I'm sure it's fine. Just looked like one of those games.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Scalebound looks like trash tho

It has potential and given Kamiya's track record I'm willing to have some faith that it hits that potential.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I feel like we're living in the timeline where the joke about wanting platinum to do everything became true and it turned out not to be as awesome as everybody think it is.

 

[Death Metalist]

I feel like we're living in the timeline where the joke about wanting platinum to do everything came through and it turned out not to be as awesome as everybody think it is.

I feel that Avatar & Transformers were good games but not great and the reason is not Platinum but clearly the budget. TMNT will probably be a good game and just that.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

So that Ninja Turtles game from Platinum is out this week.

I little hope it will be all that great.

Anyone got a recommendation for a free program that`s decent at cutting out parts of a video? I`m probably gonna start posting clips of the video podcast instead of the raw audio when they start doing the Bombcast in video form. I use Audacity for audio which is great, but from what I`m aware it does not do video.

*nervously* thankfully that will never happen to From Software

just cut at the keyframes, then just remux to your preferred container (I use mkv).

I was hoping you'd do that because that's the only way I'm going to watch the video podcast.

Yeah, From are known for releasing real hot bangers when they're not remaking that one game over and over again.

Thanks, will try that out!

One of the few devs that gets the benefit of the doubt from me. W101 is one of my favorite games ever.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Nah, because their "everything" output has been small budget licensed games so far. Avatar was bad but Transformers was quite enjoyable. No idea how this TMNT will stack up but the designs look nice. It's still a small budget though.

Nier and Scalebound will tell us how they do for bigger projects. I expect those games to be incredible.

 

[Hot Coldman]

if Nier 2 isn't somehow one of the best games of this/next year I will be astonished

Platinum and Yoko Taro are polar opposites in terms of specialities, absolute giants at what they do best but miserable at certain things - bring them together and they fix each other's problems. Throw in Yoshida and it's a classic in the making. The most exciting dev team Square's had since Chrono Trigger

 

[skLaFarebear]

Something has to go incredibly wrong for that to happen. There's way too much talent in every department for it to not be an amazing game and everything they've showed/said so far has seemed excellent.

 

[stump sock]

I dunno, that TMNT game looks super bare-bones. I don't have much faith in it being very interesting for more than like one stage

e: though it'll be real hard to be worse than the Turtles in Time remake

 

[Twin Tails]

I want Beats headphone dragon fighting to be good.

 

[Myggen]

I was hoping you'd do that because that's the only way I'm going to watch the video podcast.

I will probably listen almost exclusively to the audio version since I listen to podcasts when doing other stuff and have never seen a video podcast that really adds much to the experience, but audio and video version will obviously have the same timestamps so it`ll be easy to just cut the video version for YT.

 

[Hot Coldman]

At the very least, The Prodigy is doing the soundtrack for Scalebound so that should be great

edit: wait, no, there's just an existing Prodigy song in the game, my b

 

[Volotaire]

Have the team set a specific week for when they are starting the video podcasts?

 

[TheMrPliskin]

I feel like we're living in the timeline where the joke about wanting platinum to do everything became true and it turned out not to be as awesome as everybody think it is.

Rising and Transformers are both fantastic and Nier 2 looks like it's shaping up. There have been some duds but when they hit they totally nail it.

I dunno, that TMNT game looks super bare-bones. I don't have much faith in it being very interesting for more than like one stage

It looks awful, it doesn't help that it's coming off of Transformers Devastation which was equally low budget but ended up basically being Bayonetta with Transformers.

 

[Twin Tails]

no

 

[stump sock]

Have the team set a specific week for when they are starting the video podcasts?

it's launching the same week as Blight Club and Breaking Brad: Dark Forces

 

[Myggen]

Have the team set a specific week for when they are starting the video podcasts?

Nah, it`s probably just something they`ll do when they`re ready. They`ve talked about how they`ve actually been recording the video version of the podcast for a few weeks now to try out different stuff and see what works and what doesn`t, so will probably happen as soon as they`re happy with the result.

My guess is that it`ll probably happen soon after E3.

 

[Volotaire]

Cool, thanks.
