I really gotta say, I don't like Quick Look EXs. Quick Looks are the most brilliantly efficient and utterly unpretensious game review format I've ever seen. You're watching them play the game, going though the difficulties with it that you're sure to have if you play it. Quick Look EXs are just ads. 
 
Also, Deadly Premonition. You have been so ordered. Bow to our will.

Good, thank you!
 
I think the Quick looks EX are not so good as the normal ones but they are still interesting to see and is always nice to listen to the developers with the GiantBomb crew.
 
I'm very happy that other game is following the LBP style.

I will not be touching this game unless I hear absolute  confirmation that the load times have been reduced at least 75%.
 
I bet I could make a map quicker than the game can load it up. =/

Awesome. Definitely getting this. Editor looks great, and unlike LBP's, looks like you'll be able to actually create what you want to without wasting hours.
 
Don't know why people are complaining about the load time, it obviously won't be like that when it's released.

It's funny to see everyone is bitching about the load times.
 
A) This is a beta
B) Game doesn't have an official release date other than spring 2010.
 
I'm sure they'll fix that by release.
 
Also what is wrong with quicklook EXs? How are they that different than developer interviews? They just have a longer time to show you the game.

You guys need to stop inviting devs for your QL, even if it means getting less access.  These segments have a great mystery science theater 3000 quality to them, and obviously you can't speak honestly if you need to play nice in front of company.  Thanks for reading.

Totally agree, even this "driving-in-a-menu" location gave me the memories of training lego racer level.

Love LBP. This looks like good fun, too. 
I hope "Fight, Create, Share" is next on this list.

He's wrong about the stacking power ups being unique, Diddy Kong Racing did that ages ago for what its worth.

Load times were long (although it is beta), but damn... Everything else in the game looks extremely well done. Some really nice touches.

I despise the character design for this game. Almost feels like it was done specifically and purposefully to look generic.

What's up with "Mario Kart" style games coming out soon? This and Blur... What some odd timing. Not sure how I feel about this game. Art is kind of interesting. 
 
 I don't really like when the developer is there for the quick look... it's not really a quick looks then, it's a promo.  Also, Quick look of Deadly premonition please!

@99X: And Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing... which is actually really good. 
 
I think it's about time we got some more Kart racers. If only a good dev could take the Crash franchise and bring out a new Crash Team Racer.

Man, the track creator is SUPER impressive to me.  I love the auto-complete and auto-populate features.  This game has finally caught my interest.

Looks pretty cool.  The Track editor is awesome.   
  
DId anyone else notice there were two characters in the bottom left screen's car in the 4 player game... I don't think that's supposed to happen.

I hate the way this game looks, but if the driving is fun I'll probably check it out.  The track editor is looking very slick as well.

The track editor looked amazing but the racing looked total gash.
