Cool, I'm really liking the music and style.

Looks kind of cool, I'm not one for console strategy games though.  Maybe try it on on the PC.
Skaldon Jan. 19, 2010 at 11:41 a.m.
Well, I like the style.

He sounds dutch, HE IS DUTCH! The more you know, the more you know

I like what they're doing artistically and musically, but i'm not really into the rts genre. Looks kind of cool though.

To be clear, Greed Corp is not a real-time strategy.  Its a turn-based strategy game.  A TBS is a much better fit on consoles than a RTS, due to not needing to make split second decisions with inferior controls.

There are two things in this world I can't stand. People who are intolerant of other cultures, and the Dutch.

@JamesKond:
GreedCorp is made by a Dutch company. Ofcourse he SOUNDS dutch.
W!Games is situated in Amsterdam, how they get anything constructive done in that city is beyond me though. Just look at Ajax!

That looks really cool... 
Hmm... I may have to check it out.

Gotta love those dutch accents though.
THE_ENDon Jan. 19, 2010 at 12:06 p.m.
I don't like this type of game.
Aeternaon Jan. 19, 2010 at 12:07 p.m.
I thought that accent sounded familiar. 
 
Thankfully his accent is very decent, I tend to hate typical dutch accents. 
But I guess you're always more critical towards your fellow countrymen. ;)

@XII_Sniper: Yeah. even though some U.K accents sound very similar strangely enough

Looks like a fun game for chilling out with some friends online (or local if it has it). I doubt single player would be as much fun, but I could be wrong. I do love some Civilization Revolution and this might scratch that itch.

@JamesKond: Only cause everyone speaking english in europe base in on English accents, not American ones.

Im sold on this. As soon as i understod the importance of the tile hights i got hyped for this game.

I've gotta admit I dislike the EX quick looks. To me the greatest draw of Quick Looks is getting an unbiased first impression of the game, warts and all. It mirrors what happens in people's actual homes when they bring a game home for the first time and pop it in, so that makes it super useful (to me moreso than a review) to determine if it's something I should buy.
 
Having the developer there does allow you to get some info and depth about the game you might not have been aware of, but it disconnects it from the end-users experience. No normal consumer is going to have the devs sit on down with them and explain the game during the first couple hours, you have to rely on how well the game is made, and how well it guides you through the experience on its own. 
 
Also, listening to you guys rip on the games is a big part of the draw . I completely understand that with the developer there you have to be more diplomatic with your words, but that doesn't make it any more entertaining to watch.

Don't have much to say about this game, but Quick Look EX's make me go "Meh". It's nice that they bring some sort of game reps in to show off stuff, but the game staff usually sound awkward, stiff, and the video itself not very exciting.

There's too few turn-based games on the market today.  Been looking forward to this one :)
