The Giant Bomb Quick Look Thread 2

It seems they spent so much time taking photos of papercraft they ran out of time making the game part.

Even looking at brad play is making my mind a little, but I like games that do that. Too bad I don't have a 3DS, but it's a cool concept.

Also the straight pistol guys remind me of dr rockso.
 
10 minutes in and the NBA quick look is the best thing ever.

Haha, poor Jeff. Age gates are just the worst.

Edit: Email confirmation!? WTF?! Just let the man play the god damn videogame.
 
I got the same vibe. I hate it when people think references are a replacement for a genuine sense of humour. Simply calling back to something isn't funny to me. If it's clever and does something interesting with a reference, then sure. But putting a flux capacitor in the game isn't inherently funny at all. It's the fucking laziest form of "comedy", and hearing Patrick continually bust a gut over it made me kinda sad.

For me, it's not about humor, but more about nostalgia. I love the references, not because they're funny, but because they're great homages to gaming history.
 
2k looks so fucking weird when you play from broadcast.

Still enjoyed watching them bumble through it though.

No need to OMG PLAYING IT WRONG snap like some people cough cough
 
An Arcadey Forza might be the racing game for me. I love Forza customization options but I'm not a racing sim guy. I might pick it up during a slower time for gaming.
 
As someone who really dislikes Dirt, that looks a whole lot like Dirt. It's good that this exists for people who want it, but I hope they stick to their word that none of that stuff will go over into real Forza.

Forza is sterile as shit, but this is obviously way dudebro dubstepped and dirt'd up.

I was hoping for more of a Test Drive Unlimited thing where you have a giant ass place to free roam, tons of roads, and always online with other people. This didn't look that big from the in game map, he said there's only like 70 events in the game, and there's nothing but AI drivers.

Test Drive Unlimited had its issues, but there was an insane amount of roads on the entire island of Oahu, and TDU2 added Ibiza on top of that. There were so many roads that they had achievements for driving on all of them. The in game map Jeff was moving around on didn't give off the same scope, just a bunch of long winding rural roads.
 
Quick Look: PES 2013

Will Vinny and Jeff actually manage to get past the pop-ups that prevent them from playing the game? who knows!?

I'll just ignore any idiocy and talk about the game:

I can't believe the player models in PES still look so terrible. The one in FIFA are way better. Those frame rate issues during gameplay are also terrible. As far as I know FIFA has some as well, but not during gameplay. Judging by both demos I think FIFA also feels better. I really don't know why anyone would choose PES at this point.

Plenty of reasons, including that player movement and ball physics are better in PES. Just read the 9/10 Eurogamer reviews of both games to see that they are both good this year.
