I like this question and discussion.
On this topic, Jim Sterling's objective review of Final Fantasy XIII was pretty great.

Jeff is 100% right re: reviews and video footage.
At this point people seem to pay more attention to the aggregation of review scores rather than the reviews themselves and that's generally to win arguments on the internet.
For me, 30 minutes of commentary-free video footage of a game, a stream from someone I trust, or a Quick Look is way more useful than someone's review.
If I read a review it's just because I want to hear a specific person's opinion about a game for entertainment.
Solid dude, the GBA is great.

Cool, that was fun. Wouldn't want that every week, but it was a nice break from the otherwise stale UPF.
Now, off to play the latest and greatest hot new release.

Eh, it is not a bad game it is just disappointing coming from Remedy.
Just shaking up the format of upf every once in a while would be a welcome change. They just get caught in the routine and it becomes stale.

Yeah I'm actually looking forward to it. At this point it's not like my expectations are high. I know I'll find something to like if it has even a bit of that Remedy charm.

I never watch UPF live, but I decided to jump in today. I had no idea why it was different this week, but I liked it. It was like the old call in show that Dave hosted.

maybe they should do construction work on the studio more often

There's something about Gears 4 looking great that makes me more upset that this new team wasn't allowed to make their own franchise. It's like knowing Raven Software is making Call of Duty content.

Oh is that what the deal was? When I joined live the show had already started.

I'm pretty happy to see that to be honest.

Liked the vr discussion on today's Beastcast as someone not interested in VR at all.

I just don't see VR taking off beyond novelty.
Until we have holodeck a equivalent I just don't see it.

Getting around to listening to the Jar Time and I like the idea that Jeff put out there that GB should look more like Netflix and not Gamespot... I know it's not simple, but they should hire the person who made qlcrew.com because that's the best way to find GB content... I imagine they could make some pretty cool stuff if they were actually given the chance to work with the GB guys.
Now he's talking about store stuff... I wish they would put ideas out there that they're thinking of bringing to the store and let the community vote on their favorite stuff.... Because there is some really nice stuff in the store, but I think there's a lot of not great design stuff.... but that's just my opinion.

This is how I feel. Give me a holodeck or a cable jacked into my brain. Preferably the holodeck.

Catching up on the PSVR segments I missed, I can shed some light on the "smearing" around the edges when Jeff was turning his head while playing Batman VR that Drew pointed out. That's an artifact that results from PSVR using reprojection instead of native 90/120 fps. Every other frame is being warped to create the other frames while compensating for perspective change, effectively doubling the frame rate. A consequence of this is that fast head movements cause large gaps on the edges where the frame must be stretched significantly, making it really noticeable. Jeff probably wasn't seeing it because it was outside his field of view.
The problem is that in our grim dark future youre gonna be deciding between installing Google or Apple eyes

They were being serious because people won't stop complaining that they didn't like the PSVR or that it ran bad for them.

Well, he's basically describing their Youtube channel page. If he wants GB to function like an entertainment network, they need some regularly scheduled content.
They want to decorate the walls of the studio but can't, due to the walls being made of solid concrete. So they're having work done to place new walls in the studio, so they can hang stuff up (I think).
The internet saw his bald spot.
Makes sense. Carry on!

Can't wait to catch up with UPF later today, sounds damn good. Glad to hear there's another livestream as well, what do you guys want the title to be? I'm thinking it should be something that goes with tracking and stability.
