Quick Look: The Fall

Note that this is only the 1st part/episode of the game, and it is extremely short...

Too bad the thumbnail ruins the clip.

@mister_v: I actually thought it was the same voice actor for a bit.

I love me a sentient suit.

Probably from all those Iain M Banks books.

I can already tell this is right up my alley.

This looks amazing, buying this immediately.

This is the, what, fifth or sixth game that GB has convinced me to buy via a Quick look. This game is really interesting. Controls are clunky, but the setting and the writing make up for it.

Between Bot Colony, Mega Man 2, and The Fall, Giant Bomb East has spent the majority of the week fighting robots. I approve.

@ltsmash: robots are the future :D and gb knows this

Rare is the game that I turn off the Qlook because I want to experience it all myself. This game looks brilliant, love the story concepts, the characterization of the AIs, perfect AI voice acting (Peter Dinklage take note) and atmosphere.

I like how it's got something similar to the Three Laws of Robotics, that control your behavior and you must work around.

I fail to see how this is "ripping off" Limbo in any way, shape, or form.

Robots can be jerks too.

Thanks for putting this on my radar Vinny. Looks real cool.

"If you are reading this and have no clue what this game is then just hit play. Like, right now."

Ok.

The terran A.I in StarCraft had a similar voice, yeah. S.H.O.D.A.N. in System Shock and EVA in the original Command & Conquer did too though.

Really love this game. Bought it immediately after seeing it on Worth Playing. I think the ending's great too, so yeah, everyone should play this.

Well, someone has to stop Skynet, and who better to do that, than Vinny and Alex?

That's kinda what I was thinking. It's crazy to me that this two person team is putting out more content than the five dudes in SF. I feel like last week they were on point but this week have kinda fallen off. Not quite sure what's going on over there.

They gotta take care of business-stuff.

Is it just me, or is the main robot character the same voice actor as EVA from C&C... aka the single greatest install program in the history of man kind.

ARID's v/o artist is named Alison Kumar according to the credits. Couldn't find out much more about her, but she did a fantastic job.

Game is seriously worth playing. The story is fantastic and subtle in ways that most video game stories aren't. Ends on a really cool reveal too.

I stopped at 12 minutes and bought the game.

This game looks incredible. I must play it. I hope there is a Vita/iOS version coming

Bought this game after watching this, and DAMN it is good... But... There are a few cases of awful adventure game logic here, and on top of that, it took me about an hour of wandering around before I caved and looked up a walkthrough, only to realise that I'd experienced a game breaking bug that was preventing me from continuing and I had to validate my Steam files to continue.

Looks cool. I'll be throwing it on my Steam wishlist and get to it once I wrap up the thirty or so games sitting in my library waiting to be played once I finish building my new PC.

I bought this game because of this quicklook, and this game is incredible. Get it. Also, even if there were no more epsiodes, the game there is great and easily worth the price of admission. Get this game.

Art style reminds me strongly of The Swapper. Looks very neat.

I think it's ironic that The Fall has the same "your suit powers are not authorized" mechanic as Metroid: Other M, except they justify it soooooooooooooo much better in The Fall. In that yes, of course an AI without free will has to abide by these specific rules that you can't override a lockout on a suit power unless the threat level to the pilot is objectively very high (though how the suit calculates this is kinda glossed over).

Conversely, the idea that Samus would ever agree to disable like 90% of her suit powers to avoid accidentally blowing up a civilian or allied soldier, is pants-on-head retarded and no person would ever agree to be forced to walk around with most of their shit completely inoperable.

Just played this before the sequel came out. Combat isn't great, but luckily there wasn't much of it. Story was interesting, definitely curious to see where it goes in the new game.
