Lang and Boyes are in NYC for the PlayStation thing.
Clearly Iron Galaxy is making Season 2 of Street Fighter V.

This is largely my view too, and generally how I treat video games criticism. Jeff has been at this for a long time, but his views and tastes are just as weird and poorly reasoned as the rest of us, and that's fine.
We should trust ourselves more to try games out first hand to find out if we see the appeal of not, as video content with commentary over the top isn't really the same nor does it play to the strengths of immersive games (i.e Shenmue) very well.
I guess people feel cheated if they play a game they don't like? I dunno. I think occasionally playing a dud is much more a preferable risk than missing out on a game I may like because a critic who I enjoy hates it.
Maybe they can safe the game.

Well I mean...before GB existed the players decided that Shenmue should not continue and Sega agreed. Thats why they had to kickstart 3.
You seem to be ignoring the fact that it was an extremely expensive series to make on a console that was already dying.
I guess Panzer Dragoon is trash too though.
I guess i'll stay loyal to GB, but I still feel like Kinda Funny is the place for most things Playstation focused. I also really want to see how Colin reacts to all of this
I do have 2 ears, you're onto something
Has he been positive about it?
Their podcast model totally killed Kinda Funny to me. That and the third dude.
Funny to hear Dan talk about how he misses games in the game thing in the prerecorded ER that they don't do anymore in the same week the podcast came out with him talking about how he didn't like Yakuza on the bombcast
when that is yet another thing Dan likes that Yakuza does

He thinks they have to be ON POINT with the messaging because they can easily fuck this up and alienate 40M+ people. He keeps calling it a potential unforced error
I tend to agree with him. If they show a game, will they now have to specify "and here's how it looks on the original PS4"? if so isn't that kinda shitty? It really is a slippery slope and my cynical ass totally expects games running like complete garbage on the original PS4 weeks after the release of neo
I don't think it's fair to say "players decided" when the original Shenmue sold over 1.2 million copies (the attach rate, given the number of Dreamcast owners, is comparable to Skyrim), and the much better sequel released on a deceased console, and the on the original Xbox a year late in the market where the first game did the best (North America).
I'm not saying the series didn't go away for a reason, but don't pin that decision on players.

It's probably good all around that they recorded the ER in its entirety already. None of the yelling and complaining really matter.
A. A all day.
A. A all day.
Yeah, he is totally right. I'm really curious to see how they present this.
Devs will probably be the ones that will have to be careful so the Neo version just looks slightly better with a res and fps bump. They also can't alienate their previous consumers.
I'm also curious what this means to the future of Playstation after Neo. I still don't know if this will work like iPhones or the next console will simply be a PS5 and this is more like a New 3DS.
I'm not ok with this.
Oh god yes. I will pay GB forever and ever just for that. I hate that everything needs to be "the best thing ever you guys" these days.
Jeff mentioned that recently. They asked if they could borrow it for a while. And given the fact that they used CNET's room for over a decade he has no issue with it
I think it'll work like iPhones and I think it's incredibly stupid. My phone does a billion things, my ps4 does 2, and none of them are vital to my everyday life

I don't want anything to be good, ever!
I think an iPhone model is the way to go. Not in terms of yearly updates but keeping the OS and all of that.
Do you want a reset every gen? That's so antiquate.
Just release spec bumps whenever and have devs choose if they want "cross-gen" games and stuff like that. And it would be easy since the APIs are all the same.

I watched some of their E3 stuff and they hardly spoke, just them either looking at their laptops or them staring at the stream
What video?

A gender bender GB
Its just like my Japanese animes. Jeff makes a good looking female. Brad needs to be blondeish tho
I still don't get the jaded complaint about the duders.
They liked plenty of stuff shown at this years E3!
They just didn't scream out loud because really who does that at friggin videogame announcements?
I didn't scream at NieR:Automata being revealed, I just cracked a smile and thought "nice" to myself.

I agree. I firmly believe they just have a more tempered and skeptical reaction to announcements, and that time proves them right more than not.
