Ha, yeah right. Unless it's retitled pax Nintendo, they can't justify the budget for that.
And Jeff saying he needs to put a chunk of time into Hitman.

Oh, is this why they haven't done a QL for Skyrim remaster?
Interesting.
So this means Doom isn't going to be #1 because it's Bethesda trash, and they would be giving Bethesda free advertising.

Nah, they are talking about seperating the creative output and the backroom shady deals. It'll get its due if they feel it is the game.

They were specifically saying though that if Bethesda wouldn't respect their time(IE sending them review code) then they won't give Bethesda an audience because of that aspect.
That was in respect to previews, nothing to do with the game after it's released.

Was it Ubisoft (maybe an AC game) that had a review embargo that was after the release of the game? And outlets agreed to it?
Yeah, that was Assassin's Creed Unity. Game released digitally everywhere midnight EST, then reviews showed up thirteen hours later at 1pm EST.
That launch was a real disaster.
I'd like to hear Dan's input on all of this stuff for a couple of reasons. First, he worked at Game Informer, a magazine that has a rep for being very "industry friendly" due to its unique position of being owned by Gamestop. That's a pretty big conflict of interest right out of the gate but it seems like the review editors tend to navigate that pretty tactfully. Their review scores seem to be in line with other outlets, for example. That said, the Gamestop relationship muddies the waters. Dan participating in the creation of games that are later being reviewed (being mocapped for LA Noire and InfamousSS) by GI, for example.
Second, Dan isn't shy about his worship of brands and corporations. Nobody else in Giant Bomb ever takes that position during discussions, so I'm more curious to know his thoughts about Bethesda's actions.

He should see some of the self published books available from Amazon.

This is, like, 3 Dan emails in a row and I'm not sure I can take any more.
Don't blame him..it's the same damn game but with some volumetric godrays.
People paying $60 for it are cray cray.
Including the ruptured anus?

"In sixth grade, I grew my hair out because I wanted to look like the 1-2-3 Kid" is the most fucking insane thing I've ever heard Dan Ryckert say.
Between that and the farming simulator quick look I'm prettttty goood on Ryckertisms for a while

This is what Dan wanted to be in 93.
It was the Nate Drake half-tuck of its time.

Playing REmake because Halloween and I am reminded why I never really liked RE1. Its the Dark Souls of resident evil. So much back tracking and random bullshit. Plus Inventory management which is everyones favourite.
RE2 was my jam though for whatever reason. One of my most replayed PS1 games back in the day.

Was the whole previously killed zombies come back even stronger and faster thing in the PS1 version? Dont remember that.
Inventory management is kind of what kills the game for me coming back to it after all these years. Jill is at least manageable, but Chris is a nightmare with needing to run back and forth between a single place and a safe room. Picking up a single puzzle item means another trip back to the item box as 95% of that stuff can't be used until later on in another room. Also fuck a single key taking up an entire spot.
Yeah, I wish that stuff like keys and puzzle items could be left on you at all times, and that the inventory management stuff was more about what weapons, ammo and health items you could take with you. It would make that game way more enjoyable.

Ah, I guess Vinnyvania is tomorrow because Extra Life is this weekend?

the Elusive is up for a week. Figure they'll bang out ep 6 and the Elusive early next week.
Or Brad and Dan are planning a 24 hour Hitman marathon for Extra Life.

I was expecting Dan to ask "What came first, the chicken or the egg?" after confirming that chickens do, in fact, hatch out of eggs.
