Cool, can't wait to hear there thoughts on no twitch at launch on the xbone.
It's Alex, Patrick and Rorie? Amirite?

And your side doesn't make much sense since he is talking about launch games on the new systems.

Patrick has on more than one occasion said that the launch day sales are obviously going to be great, the interesting part is what happens after the initial hype.
multiplatforms?

Microsoft abandoned their 360 fanbase to bring 360 games to Xbox One. Crimson Dragon, Dead Rising 3, Ryse, etc. Sony instead decided to support their PS3 fans with one of the best lineups of exclusives it has ever had and still has good games for PS4 launch. That is far more important.

And he said the PS4 would have a longer tail, its not a death sentence to admit the exclusive launch games for the PS4 are not as good as the XBO.
"Yeah uh the framerate is only bad in on this particular street you guys, i promise".
"Yeah the acting is awesome!"
Okay Brad, okay.
He also thought the acting was good in DmC. Maybe DR3 is also almost Shakespearean.
What are you saying?
He likes it.
Same lol

Shoemakespearean if you will.
Someone asked on Jeff's tumblr if he believed that 1 million units sold says more about Sony's production capabilities than consumer response. Jeff agreed
Dead Rising looks fun (despite looking a little shallow) and it's probably a really good game but I can already see that Brad will totally oversell the game in the review and on the bombcast, just like with many other games before (Brothers, Skyrim, Renegade Ops etc.). There is just no middle ground for him. Either he is dismissive of a game or he gets caught up in his own hype spiral.
well, I could see why people like it. you've got the next gen special effects, the flashiness, crunchy hit effects and sounds, zoom ins (who doesnt love zoom ins), and satisfaction of pulling off counters without actually knowing you're pulling off counters.
personally all i saw was a jago on auto pilot but maybe that has more to do with how their combo system works?

Random OT question:
Has anybody ever put together a compilation of the weekly WiiWare/DSiWare releases from the Bombcast? I go back and listen to them every once in a while.. It'd be nice to not have to scrub thru each podcast.
If no one has, I'll probably get on that in the next couple weeks. I can't be the only one who wants it lol.

i dont know, i think most of what patrick posts is pretty great content
really good features, worth playing and reading
And assuming that some or all of these other consoles would have also sold 1 million units on day 1 if they were available is a gigantic assumption to make. Most of them didn't even come close in their first month.
I highly doubt the acting is great but I'm not sure why it's surprising that Dead Rising is enjoyable. It was probably one of the best 360 games for me in that first year.

As a counterpoint: I don't like any fighting games, KI included. I also get very bored playing Dead Rising. Point is, for all who say MS has the better launch games, there are people like me who disagree. Even if I had an XBone, I wouldn't buy either of those games.
I'd buy Forza, though.

2009 & 2010 this year collections have pretty good chunks of the WiiWare segments. I believe one of them has the NDX segments as well.
I think there was some controller/stick talk when he was fighting Brad but I kind of dozed off.
not much, other than to describe the six-button mapping, and to say that the d-pad is "fine."
He touches on it.
yes.
tidbit from Patrick about 3D World:

Brad jumped in after a while and they were playing it on the default difficulty (said to be beginner) against the AI.
Yeah, watching that actually deflated a lot of the interest I had in the game. Brad says the story and side missions are all pretty flat/basic. Makes it seem like the entire game is mostly about combining crazy weapons and killing zombies? Which can be fun, but I don't know if its compelling enough for $60.

I think its important to consider what "acting" means in a videogame. I watched that part and was legitimately impressed by the animation on the fat guy.
Yeah, I feel the same.

DR3 and KI and Crimson Dragon and I guess Forza 5 really make me want to grab an Xbone. I've already got a PS4 on pre-order though, won't be paying for XBL gold if I was to get a Xbone (stopped paying for it ages ago) and I don't like having to pay a bunch more than the PS4 because of the Kinect.
I wish they had a Kinectless SKU. It'd make me buy one I think, even with a PS4.

I know Dead Rising 2 had all kinds of nutty weapon combinations, but is it just me or does the stuff in DR3 seem even more out there? Like, being able to fuse some kind of flamethrower spike steamroller or a magical ice elemental staff that's supposed to be made out of like dry ice and a stop light or whatever. Your dude seems less Zombie Apocalypse MacGuyver and more Magical Gadget Wizard.
Did Dead Rising 2 get that crazy? I might be remembering it wrong, but that game it seemed like most of the combinations were stuff that anybody with duct tape and a garage could theoretically make.

Hell yes. XBOX impressions.

I dunno, DR2 has gems + flash light = lightsaber.
Crap. I guess that means I should keep working on this paper. ;_;
I think I was lucky I didn't have the internet at home until after I was done with University.

Okay, yeah, I forgot about that.
Yea, you're right. I suppose i generally mean voice acting when I'm talking about a game.
From that quicklook, you kind of get the sense that they thought of cool looking weapons then worked their way backwards, instead of coming up with dumb combinations of stuff that was already in the game.
That said, "battery" seems to be a synonym for "magic" in those games.
