Did Brad and Vinny get sick of Dark Souls? I never heard anything about 2 after the release from them, unless I missed some premium stream.

They did a few streams that I think were called "We're Playing Dark Souls Too" but don't think they made it past two or three of them.

IIRC last we heard Vinny was just about to beat it, and Brad lost interest and claimed he'd wait for the PC version.

iirc Vinny finished it but seemed to like Dark Souls 1 better and Brad stopped playing it due to the PC version being released and wanting to play that version instead.

Didn't people predict Brad wasn't going to play when he announced he was waiting for the PC version?

 

[Antiwhippy]

I think brad went back to dark souls 1 for some weird, arcane reason.

Also DOTA.

 

[Tan]

Vinny and Patrick beat it. Brad didn't get any further than what was last recorded of him playing.

Didn't people predict Brad wasn't going to play when he announced he was waiting for the PC version?

That seems like a reasonable prediction.

yes and we were correct

 

[Oxirane]

I would like the guys that played the Souls games give Monster Hunter (preferably with multiplayer) another try.

 

[Zoggy]

yeah and jeff called it too on a podcast.

brad has beaten demons souls tho, which explains why he's so hyped for bloodborne

Dude, I can't wait to buy a WiiU for monster hunter. Beyond hyped to play it.

Congrats!

 

[Hot Coldman]

Best of luck, John Drake. I can see him ending up at Disney, presuming they've got a position for him to fill.

 

[jgminto]

John Drake will be the new Coca Cola PR head.

Just went to post and saw this...

"You are not allowed to post because your content has been flagged too many times."

As far as I'm aware I've never been flagged for anything, I have been flagging a lot of the spambot posts coming through though.

Any idea what I should do about it?

EDIT: MB fixed it for me, was a bug with the karma banning me for flagging too much!

It's really an odd solution to the problem of people flagging too much. I'm surprised they haven't come up with something better.

The grindy and time demanding nature of Monster Hunter makes that impossible for them I think.

 

[elfinke]

The entire OP is great, but I loved this:

a whole bunch. I read the OP soon after watching the Tomodachi video, where Rorie says to Brad something about being a sock, cracked me right up.

Also, best wishes to John Drake, I hope you land on your feet mate.

 

[mattp]

is anyone using the xbmc plugin?
it hasn't been working for me for days, now. whenever i try to get a recent videos list it crashes

 

[RE_Player]

Should we expect more E3 coverage in the form of interviews or is that pretty much done?

 

[DopeToast]

Bummed to hear about John Drake. He seems like such a nice dude. I hope he gets a job soon and still has time/excuses to come invade Giant Bomb every once in a while. I love when he comes around.

 

[Renpatsu]

I would expect some dumptrucks in the future, we saw Patrick recording them in the recap videos but none have been edited/uploaded yet.

By the sound of the PC quicklook they did, they had both played through it quite a bit.

Give it another try? It's working fine on my end.

During E3 week the site was switched to a sort of "E3 mode" which might explain why it was crashing for you. Some of the videos they were hosting weren't linking to actual MP4 files but instead linking to a Stream of a file just being hosted on their server.

So my guess is it should be golden now.

 

[AuthenticM]

Did they make a video of them talking of the Bloodborne closed-door presentation ?

 

[BobTheFork]

John will be fine. I don't think it would be even possible to find someone who would rep your games harder or put in the work.

 

[Xater]

Since we still don't have a schedule for anything going on this week I assume they took yesterday off?

 

[Patryn]

The downside being that I suspect we'll be getting far fewer Drake shenanigans.

Appears that way. I'm not even sure if Jeff has returned from LA yet, as he indicated that he was spending extra days there after the show.

They probably also deserve the break, because I believe E3 is one the hardest-working times of the year for them.

 

[GlamFM]

I sure hope so. I think the coverage was really thin. I mean the endless hours of podcasting were cool, but where are the interviews and the showfloor videos?

 

[Patryn]

They did at least 2 daily wrapup videos. They also uploaded a massive amount of trailers.

Interviews I would agree are still likely coming.

There's no separate video but Brad and Patrick talk about it in the Coverage Uncovered video.

 

[funkystudent]

I was wondering why we didnt get a Fantasia video interview at E3.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

It was in one of the E3 videos but i can't remember.

They are REALLY HYPED for it though.

 

[Patryn]

Don't they keep mentioning that they're sick of covering that game?

 

[funkystudent]

Don't they keep mentioning that they're sick of covering that game?

Dont they get to that point with every game made by Harmonix, Netherrealm or Johnny V though?

They do video interviews with the same 3 or 4 developers at every single event and by the end they are always "tell me about your stupid game for the 15th time"

But it appears that they finally reached the point where they didn't cover it, beyond noting the release date.

Unless you want to count the Drake appearance on the Ubi presser/night shows.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

I really hope they do building the bomb part 2. Did Vinny mention anything about it?

 

[Google]

The other thing that struck me is what an about-face they have done on the "Souls" type games in just 1 year. Not too long ago only Vinny was slightly positive about the series. But now everyone except Jeff are big fans.

Vinny has enjoyed the series for as long as they've been available state-side.

I remember (two years ago?) Rorie, Will Smith and Vinny sat down with Ryan to play through Dark Souls so they've always had a pretty good crew for the games.

Jeff mentioned in passing his time at the WWE game presentation, behind closed doors but it was brushed over. Could have sworn he said something about this being the one people are supposed to care about because new people are actually developing it besides Yukes. First I've heard of it. Are 2K starting from scratch?

 

[Xater]

Does any of you seriously want them to cover Fantasia beyond the funny Quicklook it will most likely result in? I don't and they are probably not that interested in it either.

No, they said all they did is basivally showing of character models because those are not scans done by Visual Concepts who do the NBA 2k games. The game itself is still developed by Yukes.

I think Yukes are making the gameplay part and the 2K sports people are handling character modelling and scanning?



The fact they didnt have any gameplay to show at E3 makes me think its going to be the same old Yukes glitch fest.

 

[Barrylad]

Thanks gents.

Back to not caring I go.

Yukes might still making it but they have the 2K sports guys doing the graphics. Or something to that effect.

He said they didn't show much at all even behind closed doors. They usually wait for summer slams to unveil it properly.

Now I want GB east to hire a dude with a middle eastern sounding name so any racists at the post office lose their shit when they see mohammed at giant bomb has a package that has to be delivered.

Despite all the talk of Fantastia, I have nearly no idea of what the game actually is and would absolutely appreciate a good look at the game.

I mean, there are plenty of videos and articles on the internet detailing exactly what you're looking for:

You're welcome.
