Ask Me Anything: Mindjack

How come I haven't heard of this?  It looks pretty great.

What's the difference between AMA and Quick Looks?

Messiah.

I always like these ask me anything

aww so close! :(

" What's the difference between AMA and Quick Looks? "

Why you be jackin my mind dawg.

" @Anthony: Ask Me Anythings are them talking over pre-recorded footage I think, they're not playing it live. "

I thought Brad was playing the whole time until he flat out said he didn't... I knew something was wrong. Brad dies all the time. And why haven't i heard of "Ask me anything", it looks just the same as "Quick looks", except that they dont play.

Hmmmmm, seems like the same concept as The Crossing. That cancelled Source game in which the enemies in the "single player" would be actual people playing against you.  
 
Anyone remember that game?

Is Emilio Estevez confirmed at this point? 
 
EDIT Oh man after watching that I kind of wish I didn't...it looks mad generic. Is giantbomb trying to get into square-enix's good graces so when the real stuff comes out?

So this is a pretty cool idea but the actual shooting/targeting looks kinda shoddy. This game is definitely on my radar now though.

Seems like a really standard third person shooter, but at the same time... it all looks kinda janky.

The multiplayer aspect seems interesting, nice to see games break away from just having team deathmatch and ctf.

Interesting idea the execution looks really bad. Very Japanese.

Seems like it's similar to what The Crossing was endeavoring to be.

Nice Pixies reference.

Needs more Pixies references

great Pixies references

Gameplay seems interesting, but the AI and look of the whole thing are both terrible...
 
EDIT: Scratch that. Gameplay seems generic as hell. The moving around to different players was done by BC2 on the consoles and the MP/SP thing has been done in many games, such as L4D.

I hate the main dudes voice acting, it is like he is yelling into the microphone all the time !

Love the Pixies reference

Looks like shit but I expect nothing better from Square Enix games.

Those are like, the most resilient stewerdesses in the world! :D

Is this Inception the game? 

This game looks absolutely horrible.

love the way that giantbomb strives to make up awesome video titles and also tries to quasi copyright them :P

So it's like counter-ops from Perfect Dark, except instead of automatically spawning you as a different enemy, you have to go look around for one...that sounds like it could get kind of tedious.

So... it's like Geist?

demon souls meets mass effect, i can picture the suits at the meeting that designed this now.

So it's Messiah without the babies... 

Mind Jack: The real sequel to You Don't Know Jack. Finally.

Kinda like Requiem huh

Doesn't look like a full price game to me, but not also not so bad. Will there be some LA Noire coverage in the future, which I would much rather prefer to this. That would be totally awesome.

NO THANKS JUST GIVE ME PSI-OPS 2.

" @RVonE: Don't quote bots "

I'm kinda torn on this. On a top-level game design perspective, the idea of a single-player/co-op campaign being a series of broken up multiplayer matches has some merit, but the question becomes how many people are going to be playing the campaign two week after the game comes out? Is it short enough to have people who enjoy playing that side of things to keep going back to that, or after the initial release are you going to have a wasteland of people wanting to play Bad Guys and no one up for playing the campaign again.
 
As far as "shooting-dudes-in-the-face" goes, it seems fine enough. Kinda loose in some spots, but it doesn't seem broken. Plus the whole Geist/Messiah possess other people mechanic should get more use, especially when it adds the extra element of cybernetic monkeys.

Looks a lot like that Ghost in the Shell game for PS2. I kind of wanted to play it recently but coulnt find a disk. this might be alright but the shooting seems very unimpactful.

Jeff not only delivered a good pun, but got the Pixies stuck in my head.
 
Edit: And by good I mean terrible.
Edit 2: And by pun I mean loose wordplay.

Psi-Ops meets Demon's Souls? Looks fun. Nothing innovative, but certainly fun.    

You are the cyborg gorilla! 

This looks like garbage
