Out of all those videos I enjoyed watching Ryse the most. I think it looks great. The executions look pretty damn brutal.

Ryse and DR3 look like pretty good fun! Ain't got much else to say besides that.

I can't see how anyone compares that combat to Batman. The game is much more like God of War or such than it is like Batman.

I think its mainly just the combat system that they compare to the Batman games as it seems to be very counter focused. Although I can't really see any comparisons to God of War like you said.

Ugh. Every single game here looks boring, and the ps4 side is even worse.

Thanks guys, for reinforcing my decision to not get one of these new consoles at launch.

Happy to wait for actual must buy exclusives, like titanfall and second son, not this underwhelming launch garbage. :(

This all looks pretty blurry. Clearly Giantbomb's video pipeline wasn't made for the coming generation and is starting to look subpar.

I'll renew my yearly subscription when I get 4k or at least 1080p video on here. Some Twitch streamers started streaming and uploading to Youtube in 4k and it looks fantastic.

First world problems...

Taking out the clock in Dead Rising makes a lot of sense to me. I also loved the old games, but the clock makes so much of the game not fun - killing zombies and most items/crafting is inefficient. To beat the game and save survivors you have to just find/build the best stuff, avoid zombies where possible, and carry around a lot of orange juice. Unless you explicitly ignored the story, you couldn't play around with the awesome world and tools.

My main concern is that DR3 just looks dark and grimy. A different atmosphere from the old games.

You can tell it's a launch lineup when the game I'm most excited about this month is Super Mario 3D World.

You act like Super Mario 3D World doesn't stand a chance of being an actual good Mario game. I think that game looks really rad from all of the preview coverage.

I'm not acting like that at all! I love the Mario games and I think Super Mario 3D World is gonna be fantastic! But what I'm saying is that there are new consoles out, and you'd think that as much as I love Super Mario, there would be something among these new next-gen games that I think would be as good as Mario, but I just don't see that happening.

Don't put words in my mouth, ya ass!

It's good to see Crimson Dragon is a game on Xbone with some color. Ryse, DR3, and BF4 are too bland with their color palette.

Dead Rising 3 is basically about an Xbox fan going around eradicating hordes of mindless Sony Drones controlled and sent by the hive-mind at SonyGAF.

I'm concerned about how long the slowdown lasts when the enemies flash different colours. It depends on how it feels when playing but just watching the video made it look like it lasted longer than would be required for a fluid style of combat. I can see why it has taken some criticism for being a QTE game.

I appreciate the lack of hyperbole from the Giant Bomb team most of the time, but the jaded delivery of this video is so disheartening. Brad sounds like he's describing flat packed furniture and his memory of the finer aliasing details in BF4 is astounding for someone who usually can't reliably see a "PUSH THIS BUTTON" prompt in a game.

Do you guys even like gaming any more, if it isn't either something super niche or packed full of FMV?!

Yeah it's a bit of a bummer. He almost seemed reluctant to give Ryse any sort of props, despite the fact that it has been shit on unfairly IMHO.

Disappointed there was no Killer Instinct. Why show Battlefield? They showed off Crimson Dragon for like 30 seconds and that's one of the games I'm most hyped for.

But hey opinions right? All I know is I'm super stoked and there's actually a lot of stuff I want to play at launch for this thing. Combine that with Kinect seemingly working much better, and the interface looking pretty sweet and it combines into a pretty awesome package (in theory anyways).

The color range in live show videos has been fucked up lately. The blacks are gray, man. Gray!

Hey, remember when all the good (and expensive) cameras got swiped at E3... I think it started then...

Nope. It happened very recently, and only on live stream archives (I think). Check out the difference between Volgarr the Viking part 2 and part 3. Part 2 is fine, but part 3 looks just like this video in color range.

Oh, wow, weird. I hadn't even noticed that... What's interesting is that it doesn't seem to be a problem with the live "on the couch" stuff (at least from a super quick glance at a couple of UPFs) only the game capture...

That's some washed out Dead Rising video!

Wait until you've seen every single other video captured in those 42 minutes. Something isn't right, it's all so ugly :<

(even the footage sent out by Microsoft is like that. Something clearly isn't right)

They complained a lot about their TV being too dark, I wonder if they instead of turning up the brightness on the TV, turned up the brightness or gamma on the thing that sends to the TV, so that we also get the now way too bright stuff?

I think Dead Rising remains the only launch exclusive on either system that interests me much. But the new setting still turns me off some. It's so dull compared to the past games. I always found the previous games interesting, not just for the humor, but also the juxtaposition of the dark, zombie infestation with the bright, carnivalesque environments. This new one seems more of a typical post-apocalyptic zombie setting than the previous.

All I could think about while the guys were gushing over the wet pavement was how poorly its reflections were mismatched to the environment. The most egregious error was how bright, nonexistent lights were being reflected where the dark ground was meeting dark walls. I thought we had gotten past that by now, at least in big budget games. On a tiny surface, sure, you can fake the reflections with a cubemap because hard to judge correctly and the accuracy isn't worth the cost. If they're going to have a huge swath of wet asphault at night in a realistic setting, they need to spring for a more expensive reflection shader... because that one looked horrible.

Yeah the mismatch was really jarring

Yeah, that was weird to see, I thought they had started to get that kind of stuff right early this gen, possibly even late PS2 era (I seem to recall Project Snowblind and Black on the PS2 having pretty good looking reflections without those kinds of issues, and Timeshift on PS3/360 certainly did a great job with rain effects, wet asphalt and that kind of stuff back in 2007).

Yep.

Dead Rising footage looks extremely grey and desaturated, like watching it through a fog or something.

Naaaaah. They are just getting paid that colourblind agenda money.
