Xbox One? Man, I Saw That

Apart from Forza I thought all of that looked immensely dull.

Regarding Dead Rising 3; "Electric Crusher"? Come on, video games. We all agreed that a hammer with electricity is always nicknamed Mjolnir. It's a fact.

Regardless of platform what really excited me in the footage was the sheer number of zombies being displayed in the Dead Rising bit. I can't say I'm that familiar with the series but to see a game actually have that number of AI entities in an area at one time without having to load them in was pretty impressive. IO are about the only developers so far who've really managed to achieve that before with some of the levels of Hitman & K&L, but I'm pumped to see more games that bring that crowd feel to environments.

the love fest with neogaf and giantbomb just ended you guys said some nice things about the xbox one

Yup, oxygen deprivation makes you think crazy things, try not holding your breath so long.

Xbox looks shitty on the games front, Ps4 looks shitty on the basic features (stuff that is just standard by now like streaming from pc, external storage and music cds). Next gen seems fairly disappointing so far, to me at least

I've looked on other sites a bunch and the reason things look washed out greyed out is because Dead Rising 3, Ryse, Forza 5 etc are a bunch of dark motherfucking games on a console with dark by design motherfucking video output and it gets on my nerves.

Dead Rising 3 co-op on IGN with a developer = cannot see shit. Unless setting the monitor to eye-ruining GAME mode that overclocks monitor display circuits or whatev. Dark Souls 2 beta test = can see shit no problem all the time.

This isn't a capture equipment problem. This is game design and console hardware suits deciding grimdark = better sales. Hopefully the crew will just boost the brightness on their TVs rather than boosting the captured output. Hopefully reviews will adress games being too dark and the console output being very dark on purpose. Dark games next generation will become the brown games of the start of this generation.

Compared to this, PS4 games paint a brightly coloured happy Bob Ross painting of feelgood.

Not sure what Brad is seeing in Dead Rising 3, but I am not a DR guy so...yeah. I don't see much ambition there as its a formula that they are like 5 games in (2 separate DLCs, 2 main games, and an alternate version of 2). Not sure how hard it is to basically recreate the same experience over again and then tweak a few things.

Promotion!

How will you live without audio CD support?

Okay, the part where he crafted a vehicle is where Dead Rising 3 started to look okay.

Watching this just makes me super extra bummed Dead Rising 3 isn't coming to PC.

Looks good, but I'm still holding off Xbox One and PS4 until Titan Fall and Metal Gear 5.

@roulette1986: yea seriously

I also feel better about XBO now. Forza is my jam, but all the other stuff had me concerned. It's good to hear the Kinect isn't totally useless.

Fuckin' Omar is in Battlefield! That's awesome.

Ryse reminds me of how much i enjoyed Spartan Total Warrior...could just be a roman thing but i would love a new one of those games

Elephant gun was in Eternal Darkness

It's the point, taking away basic features of the consoles from decades ago?? Don't forget you can't stream anything at all now, whether from an external hd or from your computer. And i put custom music on sports games a lot, it makes no sense. It also can't even play blurays out of the box, what in the fuck?

@somejerk: "Console hardware suits deciding grim dark = better sales"?

Because "console hardware suits" at MS are somehow mandating "grim dark" to all devs as if they have an insanely niche agenda to that end or have any quantifiable means of generating more sales "because dark" while Sony "console hardware suits" are espousing the high road of bright Bob Ross rainbows? You're joking right? I think you're looking too hard for something that isn't there.

Call me crazy, but the Dead Rising 3 demo that happens to take place at night in the midst of a zombie apocalypse probably makes sense to be graded a little dark and has more to do with Capcom devs making relevant creative decisions independent of any "console suit" at MS much in the same way it wouldn't make sense to employ a kiddy cartoon colour palette that makes more sense for a family friendly kid focused one button Platformer like Knack for instance.

Also, forza 5 dark? Really? Have you seen any demo ever for that game? It's saturated as fuck. Ryse has a distinct period piece palette set against the defining colors of Rome inspired by blood and steel - it's about evoking a mood and feel and it's called art direction. Not everything has to resort to full blown saturated bright candy gloss to avoid being lumped into some imaginary conspiracy you want to believe is true.

Are the videos just formatted poorly or is Dead Rising really that crappy looking and washed out?

I was kind of surprised to see BF4 running at 60FPS, even if it still doesn't look as nice as on PC. I suppose I assumed that more importance would be placed on better screenshots than higher framerate.

PS3 was a bad DLNA client. (transcoding is the only thing that made it viable) All modern TVs have that feature now, and you most likely have something else capable of streaming. If not, buy a Raspberry PI, much better than a limited DLNA client.

My Panasonic plasma can play MKVs natively from my PC and that's coming up to 2 years of age.

Gosh. Drew is one handsome man.

@trafalgarlaw: Are you saying that the problem is the resolution?

Why does the astronaut psychopath look like Dan Aykroyd?

no one seemed to really appreciate it as the views for quicklooks were higher than the ones for the produced vids and they had to spend a lot more time editing them. considering it's mainly vinny and drew only behind the cameras it's kinda hard for them to keep up the production levels of, say, Gamespot, so it's not really worth it to them. and tbh i come here for their personalities anyway so i don't care really how slipshod the videos are as long as it's them in front of the cameras or talking over the video.

plus shorter production time = more content! and you also get the occasional Iceland trip or GOTY videos so you get that side of things too. :)

I keep seeing the preview image on the front page and thinking it says, "Thanks Obama."

And it is like Batman in that regard. As far as I've heard on another podcast, it seems the attacks you deal are weighty and you can't just mash buttons in rapid succession. That is counter to God of War's combat system. So yeah, if you're going to compare it to either of those games than it apparently is much more like Batman than God of War.

That 60fps BF4 looks weird to me.

Underwhelmed.

Ryze & Forza both looked like next gen, so that's nice. I even think Ryze would be a fun weekend rental, but not sure about an actual purchase. BF4 & DR3 both seems like light incremental steps.

Nice, the 5 games that I was planning on getting on launch day.

They look pretty awesome, can't wait!

Man, I'd be really interested in Dead Rising 3 if it wasn't a Dead Rising game.
