Now I don't usually say which games the guys should do an ER of, but I just had this crazy idea.
 
 They should seriously do an Endurance Run of this. But split it into two teams. So like Brad and Ryan do it their way. And Jeff and Vinny do it their way. It would be really interesting for us viewers to see how the game changes, how different everything turns out in Brad and Ryan's adventure compared to Jeff and Vinny. And how the decisions of the guys differ from eachother.
 
Although maybe Brad shouldn't be in this cause he's finished the game already. Perhaps Dave or Drew?
 
I'm not telling them what to do, just sharing an idea I got with you guys.

I agree with the ER part of this (in fact, I said so on the acutal WiiGOTY award), but not with the split into two teams part, because:
 
A) It's a lot to ask for
B) Whilst there are a lot of minor changes, the experience is more or less the same
C) Watching the same scares again (which will be there, bringing the point back to B) will not be scary
 
I get your point and it is an interesting idea; I just don't think it'll work as good as you think.

Also, the problem is that it's supposed to be an ENDURANCE Run. And in Shattered Memories, there's not too much to endure. It would last in about fifteen episodes or something, keeping the P4 ER's general length.

Also (again), it's a new game. That kinda kills it.

Dragon Age/Demon's Souls is a better candidate, 'cause the first one is Persona 4-long and the second is a pretty hardcore game. Still, the second reason why SH:SM won't be considered plays its role here too.

It's a good game no doubt, but it's too short for an endurance run.

GB should just record all their gameplay and SELL IT ON VIDEO DISC

I really enjoyed their first QL of the game.  Even though there wasn't a whole lot of action it was fun to watch.  Now that I'm actually playing through it I'm not sure if I'd really care to watch them play it.  

This thread makes it painfully obvious that half the people asking for an endurance run for X game have no idea what the word endurance means.

Well it's definitely a much better idea than another JRPG.

That sounds like a good idea about splitting it into 2 teams to see how differently it turns out. And since it's on the Wii I'll never get to play it. But I'm sure the next endurance run game they do will have to be some long ass RPG, otherwise it wouldn't be much of an 'endurance'.

It's like a six hour game, hardly fit for an endurance run. Beyond that two teams would mean no work being done every time they play the game, as opposed to the former endurance run where at least two people could do some work. 
Further beyond that point is that the game doesn't change that much from game to game. Yeah, there will be minor points in the story that are different and yes some environment will change ascetically and the ending will differ but really, both games will be for the most part the same and even though I would watch the guys play through the same game multiple times I doubt others would feel the same.
 
If you really won't play through the game ever and your dieing to see what happens google "Let's Play Silent Hill Shattered Memories" and I'm sure you'll come up with something.

There would be a lot less of a reason to actually buy the game if all you did was watch it being played through multiple times, since the story is the big draw to the game. At least Persona 4 has the thrill of the gameplay to back it up.

I would love for them to at least do a Let's Play of this game. When they had the first quick look they were kinda in the mood for it, their making jokes when the car is spinning out of control was great. But yeah it wouldn't be a very long endurance run. Frankly the next Endurance Run should be a Final Fantasy game or some other JRPG, I think we would get more enjoyment out of those types of games.

If they're going to do another endurance run, it should be an obscure foreign game.

i really wish it would happen. but it wont

If they do another ER they need a long obscure game that not that many people have played.  ER on wow would be pritty funny see jeff and vinny playing together. The raids they would fuck up that would be a sight to see.

There's also the matter of how they would treat the game. If they go through it laughs a plenty, it would probably defeat the atmosphere of the game. If they treat it seriously as a horror/survival game, I doubt many users would keep interest in the run.

It's always funny when one of these threads pops up, I thought the whole idea of an ER is to play a game (A long one) all the way to completion because there is no way that the guys could be able to play it in their spare time, So they call it (work) and film it and put it up on the site, So all these suggestions are going to fall on deaf ears, Because,  
 
)1 Most of the games that people are suggesting are too popular, 
)2 Are too short, 
)3 Aren't good enough, 
 
In my opinion, The staff will have already thought about which games fit these categorys, Have already considered if the ER will be an annual event and I bet they already have some sort of schedule or something set up in the office somewhere,  
 
They are professionals after all, Even if you don't see them that way, The professionally show their Casual side, and they do it quite well,

" If they're going to do another endurance run, it should be an obscure foreign game. "

That's what I was thinking earlier... An ER of this would be cool, albeit short. Also, Indigo Prophecy would be awesome.

" I have been thinking the same thing about a lot of games lately. It's gotten to the point where I dont care what game what game they pick anymore as long as they just get on with it already.  "

The game is far too personal to be an ER, I recommend all of you play it instead. Much more powerful that way.

Pretty sure Giantbomb has retired the "Endurance Run" until Jeff can stop looking at his Persona 4 save file and crying

#1 is a stupid reason.  If anything, they should disqualify games that nobody cares about, not games that everybody loves. "
