Jeff drinking from a jar while watching Will drink from a non-jar? How jarring.

Jeff: The thing your video idea sounds like the most, at least in the context of WhiskeyMedia videos, is how Screened has the Besties and/or Defend Your Movie. So maybe a take on that, a Defend Your Game, might be better than saying Hall of Fame?

1:43:14 with Jeff is a little too much quality internet content for one sitting. I shall endeavour to consume this over a period of 2 to 3 sittings.

Loved it when Jeff went off tools who use the term "AAA" without having any idea what it actually means.

I wonder if it has to do with the video server. Regardless of quality setting, I can't watch it either.

About the Capcom stuff, I agree that a new Mega Man would be cool but it seems to me, judging by their recent products, that they have serious problems on the design side. Either they've hired the wrong sorts of people, or management is interfering in unproductive ways with the creative. The result is derivative titles that contain new mechanics/design choices in a way that appears sloppy, different for the sake of being different without any basis or understanding of why the old titles were special. Take a look at RE5, SFIV and its iterations, MvC3, etc. The 'new' things Capcom brought to the table for those were mostly mediocre tack ons that the fanbase generally tolerated but weren't especially thrilled about. Those games sold because of the remnants of the core gameplay that survived intact from their more competent predecessors.

Consider Street Fighter vs. Tekken. In that game I see a wildly misguided design team working under an extremely tight schedule, cutting corners all over the place because of it, zero competent oversight on the visual structure of the product, bolting on whatever random bullshit gimmick they can shit out without any consideration for how it will affect the core audience they are relying on to bring in a baseline of sales. It looks like a game made by a team with far more budget than ability, who got the job because their last project sold well mostly as a result of franchise loyalty and design choices that had already been made by more talented people nearly twenty years ago.

The reason people aren't happy about Ninja Theory taking over DMC is because none of the Ninja Theory games have shown to have snappy, responsive, deep, and fun combat... which is what DMC is all about. That's kinda it. DMC fans (like myself) have no problem with it getting changed up.

Just not changing it up by having the wrong developer make it.
