Now Platinum is free to make Vanquish 2. 😳

No one is paying for that

 

[irrotational]

....but I will never underestimate Vinny's ability to do the unexpected.

This seems one of the few constants of Giant Bomb.

I remember him getting into the flying copter in Far Cry 4 and the absolute first thing he tried to do (after taking off) was shooting his own rotor blades off in mid-air.

He must be a QA testers worst nightmare (in a good way).

they need Mikami back for that

 

[funkystudent]

Time to push the Vanquish PC release button.

 

[DanLongman]

Could someone make an animal sacrifice to ensure that Sea of Thieves is good? Please?

How about a family of rabbits?

 

[Blitzrules240]

The muppet voices section of This Is The Run was hilarious.

Dan's pretty good at Muppet impressions.

 

[broncobuster]

Now I'm struggling to remember that crazy rumor about Mikami's next project.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

How about a family of rabbits?

Noo, choose a less cute animal!

 

[hamchan]

At least Platinum got to make the Nier sequel before they die.

 

[broncobuster]

Probably just a Google scraping bug, but made me laugh

Weren't Below and Cuphead at or around the XB1 reveal? Cuphead somehow seems less interesting every time they show it.

 

[Data West]

I hate WayForward because they have two modes:

Mediocre-to-bad gameplay with decent presentation plus an undertone of borderline fanservice (Shantae, Mighty Switch Force, that shitty Humble Monthly game they made)

Mediocre-to-bad gameplay with decent presentation that plays too heavily off nostalgia and doesn't have anything interesting or unique to add to the mix (Contra 4, that "It's like Zelda 2 but not good" Adventure Time game, etc)

Oh, and they make outright shitty licensed games too, so I guess that's three modes.

Their licensed games are dope though

Everyone fucked up Cuphead asking the devs to add regular platforming levels instead of having it just be a boss rush game

I was super excited for Below..two years ago.

 

[Salarians]

want to hear Beastcast's thoughts on this Overwatch shipping news

 

[Zaph]

Silver lining - at least the Bombcast didn't miss the news this time.

 

[Strax]

You know the devs weren't forced to add regular platforming levels?
This is 100% on them.

Cuphead would've been the biggest downloadable (only) this gen had they kept this on the low, not made the platforming levels and pulled an "it's out now" during E3.

 

[Scizzy]

Already hearing Alex screaming in my head and shuddering.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Xbox brand is dead

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Finally listening to Bombcast...

Brad's PS4 HDD dying makes me start to worry about mine since I upgraded to the same 2TB drive around the same time.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Xbox brand is dead

Remember that "I believe in Phil Spencer" stuff?

Lmao, no it would not have.

 

[Zornack]

Anything that gets PharMercy fans upset is good.

 

[ratcliffja]

Oh man you liked that game? That's so good to hear. I was one of a handful of programmers on that project.

Seagate? Yeah, don't buy Seagate

[LiK]

PS4 Pro runs pretty hot so i wouldn't be surprised that sped up that HDD failure.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Now Platinum is free to make Vanquish 2. 😳

Free to throw it into the garage you mean.

 

[Blitzrules240]

Damn, Brad is not good at platformers.

Jeff's sarcasm is helping get through this QL though.

You forgot good gameplay with with good presentation, which is about half their games, including Shantae.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I really didn't expect the Contra video to be short.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Could've fooled me.

I don't hate WayForward, but yeah I don't like the fanservice that much. Half Genie Hero at least looks like it has more diverse female body designs, but every female character in Pirate's Curse could have been a pallet swap with a slightly different bikini on, and I can't quite get over Shantae's wide eyed innocent enthusiasm coupled with pants cut about one inch above her groin. There's "bikini because of a warm climate" which is...fair reasoning, most of the dudes are shirtless also, and then there's this:

 

[Data West]

No way Crackdown 3 survives

no way.

Free to throw it into the garage you mean.

Without Mikami at the helm, I might agree.

 

[robotrock]

I think Crackdown 3 is happening only because: what the hell is Microsoft gonna launch the Scorpio with if not?

Just Forza 7?

 

[Salarians]

remember when Wayforward made a Silent Hill themed Diablo clone

 

[Data West]

That Batman Brave and the Bold game on the Wii was pretty fun too

 

[The Technomancer]

That Batman Brave and the Bold game on the Wii was pretty fun too

I did like that one!

 

[OdysseusVA]

no way.

Ive forgotten that existed. Im sure MS did too

 

[Salarians]

 

[Strax]

Lmao, no it would not have.

Let me have my hyperbole.

 

[Meguro]

How many of those games they listed will actually come out in 2017 or ever?
Place your bets folks.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

what the hell could you do with a third crackdown that couldn't be done with a remake/remaster/etc

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Ill be honest

Scalebound was just there. Like...I didnt see it being a sales nor critical hit.

 

[The Technomancer]

I mean this in a genuine non-snarky way: is there anyone in here who uses their XBOne as their primary "library building" platform? As in, has bought most of the major games the purchased in the last few years for XBO?

 

[hamchan]

I bought Crackdown 1 because I thought that would be the first game they would add to Xbox 360 BC. I was wrong.

 

[kingocfs]

Scalebound looked awful.

 

[Data West]

Not MS published but that Not Saints Row game Volition is gonna bomb hard.

like that game reminds me of FUSE.

How many of those games they listed will actually come out in 2017 or ever?
Place your bets folks.

SoD2 comes out and sells like shit because Windows Store timed exclusivity and no one cres by the time it comes out on Steam

Halo Wars 2 comes out to abysmal sales because who the fuck cares

Crackdown 3 comes out rushed out and completely busted and the studio is immediately closed after CD3 is launched

Sea of Thieves either underwhelms critically and sells ok or gets cancelled. I'd bet the former. I bet it's a massive disappointment

 

[Lunar FC]

I have like 5 games that I want to play but I play none of them. :/

 

[Salarians]

what the hell could you do with a third crackdown that couldn't be done with a remake/remaster/etc

the cloud?

 

[KillerDark]

Had high hopes for Scalebound initially but every time they showed gameplay it just did not look good

 

[Zaph]

Really curious what their approach with Project Scorpio will be at E3

Odds on Brad/Alex telling us emails to MS for E3 Nightshow bookings went unanswered?
