Looks really interesting, although I wish there were a little more in the animation department.  I'd like to see the walkers actually have at it rather than just disappear.  Also a little camera control would be nice, but it doesn't seem to be a problem.

Looks pretty neat. Be interesting to see how much they charge for it.

I like this variation in Quicklooks though. And it's always better to look at a game in peace with the developer and some giantbomb guys, as probably the only other moment would be during some crowded E3 event. Where all the developers are on Media training steroids/

Yea the QL's with the developers tend to be a little dry but this one was fine thanks to the Dutch accent and I am actually surprised that for an RTS the game looks like a really fun laid back game.

The 4 player games must up with CIV4 when it comes to making alliances and breaking them. I'm sure that higher level games can get extremely complex.

Looks interesting, but the font nerd in me wonders why they used the typeface from the Banjo-Kazooie games (Lithograph, I think).

Think it was partly down to jeff and brad being very full on and cracking jokes, when he thought it was going to be just another generic look at the game.

Looks pretty good. I like the environmental messages in this, and the strategy looks really neat.
 
PS Ryan, a lot of people who are afraid of heights are afraid of being high, not a sudden CHANGE of being high (ie landing after a fall)

Looks to be a good game to try out, although it would seem the game would be pretty boring after awhile considering you don't have many options.

@Oceaniax: QL EX' are just dev gameplay walkthroughs with some familiar voices asking questions. I see no problem with that.
 
Oh, and the game looks pretty fun (surprisingly).

I like it, it seems more like a board game instead of a normal    turn-based strategy game.

This looks more like a "hyper-chess" or "hyper-checkers" with  a"war of attrition" theme then a generally accepted RTS.  I really like it. It will be great for 4 player long-into-the-night experiences.

The whole harvesting decreases the height of a hex is a nice concept.  However, gameplay looks pretty dull, especially towards the end when most of the map has been destroyed.  Then it's down to who can create the most land units to fly over with a carrier.  Not much strategy there at all.

" 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. "
Agreed. I don't like the developers being there, ruins the idea behind quick looks.
