Giant Bomb LIVE! at E3 2016: Day 01 [Staff Impressions]

Yey!

Since I can't seem to find the chat for the Day 01 live stream, I'll post here:

Hands down the best videogame content around.

Always awesome to see Lorne Lanning. Can't wait to here what he's working on.

Oh, yeah! Dude. Cowboy was there, but never hit the couch. What gives?

Empty lines for Titanfall 2 makes me sad.

*grabs the people shouting* YO TITANFALL IS REALLY GOOD!

This is the E3 podcast right? Audio version?

...Just noticed the title of the post has "2015" as the year in the title instead of 2016.

Will there be an audio version of this?

2015?? oh man!!

Dan pls

Everything people say about Zelda just confirms even more that game is ass.

@kishinfoulux: Uh, if you say so I guess.

I've never played The Witcher but I might get into Gwent?

TitanFall 1 demoed really well when I played it at Eurogamer (because of the movement), I hope the second one delivers the promise though.

Mafia III is sounding like a big improvement over 2.

@gunflame88: Yeah, for sure.

I'm probably not the first to notice, but the title is wrong. It's 2016 not 2015.

@vierastalo: @harkat: There normally is an audio version but it probably won't be up until they get back to the office where all their podcasting equipment is to put it into audio format.

love the screencap!

Welcome to E3 2015!!!

(That last 60 seconds: :D)

@gundogan: I think that no lines for Titanfall has more to do with EA's location during the first day of E3 than it does the quality or excitement level for the game itself.

that's the type of time machine that would make your insides become your outsides

Days Gone looks way well polished, and i actually really like the flowing aspect of the zombie hordes, but otherwise seems so rote. it just feels a bit wrong/bad to deny something that looks like a ton of work went into. maybe there's something more interesting to it.

also Dan+Austin makes me a bit sad they can't all be together more often.

Always nice to hear the GB's viewpoints, and Dan... we love you man.

On a side note I was pretty impressed with Sony's press conference. Then I flipped over to Giant Bomb to hear their reaction and man was that night and day! Whereas I loved the steady stream of impressive trailers the Bomb crew seemed very underwhelmed. I was surprised. I thought God of War, Horizon: Zero Dawn and yes Call of Duty all looked amazing. Hell even Spider-Man looked cool and I can't believe I'm saying that! Spider-Man? Yes! Spider-Man!

To each their own I guess.

Yeah there are elements of that game that make me want to like it, the visuals, the atmosphere and tone. But...zombies...again? Still I'm going to keep my eye on it. They could win me over.

Is the whole stream going to be up for download? I'd like to not have to resort to other sources for that.

They're the two ingredients you think would be horrible together but secretly bring out the best in each other.

Holy shit, look how blazed Austin looks in the still frame.

Anyone know what Nike's Jeff is wearing?

@mechamarshmallow: Austdan (my OTP) is the oreos and nacho cheese of Giant BOMB dot com.

@CastroCasper: Nike Free RN Distance

Lil Wal

Wow, is every game nowadays open world? I'm saying that's a bad thing. I like a lot of open world games, but it's just kinda weird when you think about it.

Nothing says Merica like a Bob Seger shirt and a PBR. Keep on keeping on Dan. \m/

@flstyle: Judging by your profile picture (Dragon Age dude), you would totally love The Witcher games!

I hope you at least give 2 & 3 a shot.

oh man i just got to the Part where Eric talks about moving to Quebec.

And as a Montreal Citizen Born and raised as a French Canadian but also talks English (i specify that because you wouldn't believe how rare it actually is to be Bilingual in Quebec) i send my apologies to Eric Pope about our dumbass separatist. you can consider them kind of our Redneck but with higher political "Knowledge"

each time i hear stories about people who don't speak french visiting or simply moving to Quebec i feel bad because i've heard all kinds of horror stories.

i have nikes with adidas socks also

Dan and Austin are such a good pair! That was a fun recap. Also lovin how pleased (smug?) Alex looks in this thumbnail. He's up to something.

@foejoe: Thank you!

i would love to have an ass like that

I think the point they made (on the 'we talk-over' video perhaps more) was that you don't need a press conference to show trailers. The traditional idea of the presser is to give insight into the vision of the platform, from content to services to hardware and so on.

I'm kinda with the crew on this in that, although I thought the games looked better at Sony, the conference at Microsoft was actually more interesting to watch and gave a better feel of where they're going with their platform(s). The Sony press conference, removed from the pomp and spectacle of the live orchestra (which of itself was impressive but might be considered a smoke screen), could really have been: "We've sent you all 10 URLs for trailers and/or gameplay demos, please go watch them and have fun".

What is Vinny pulling out at 16:12? After he was "denied access" to Sony did he go back to EA for some Titan Fall gunpla merch?? I NEED TO KNOW!

Off to a great start!
