Giant Bombcast 12/08/2015

It's December. Where'd all this news come from? Oh well, time to break down all the goings-on out of the Game Awards and the PlayStation Experience with the help of one very special Irish guest. All this plus new offices, KGB spies, erstwhile hooahs, and your emails!

The Giant Bombcast is the world's most beloved video game podcast, and now it's available in video form.

Dec. 8 2015

Posted by: Brad

Episode Notes:

The 60 Minutes piece about the KGB agent is behind a paywall and thus not easily viewed, but watch it if you can.

I think it's a bit harsh to say the whole Jade Raymond thing was a "fuck up."

Personally I just thought it was a funny joke with the Hayter thing and then unfortunate that there was the envelope error but it moved on quickly. But there's always going to be people saying "oh man so much cringe" over and over again so...

It felt like she did at intentionally, since the two were sitting right next to eachother. The game director's reaction was priceless!

I want to try a VR headset. Listening to them talking about it is frustrating when I haven't, because the descriptions of the games are so... I don't know, there's no way to connect to it without having tried it. It's just listening to people being really excited about rail shooters and first person walking games, and not anything tangible in the games themselves, but the physical experience of playing them. At this moment, I'm not interested in VR because the games don't sound like anything I'm into. There's no way to know if I'd be as excited as them if I tried it or not without actually putting on a headset at some convention.

Worth bearing in mind that Naughty Dog have employed dialogue choices before, specifically in The Last of Us: Left Behind. It was limited if I recall, but thoughtfully implemented.

It would be pretty sad if they all somehow managed to miss out on one of the biggest releases of the year. And no official GB review for the history books either.
