Yeah the first MX vs ATV (and I think some Rainbow Studious ATV games before the series merger) had the best looking ragdolls I had seen up to that point. These look lame as hell. Then again, nothing can compare to Euphoria influenced ragdolls like those in GTA4. "
Dude yeah! Euphoria is God...i so want more and more games to use it, as well as DMM

That chair must have broke in a violent fashion.  
Also, If you count every time Jeff falls off a vehicle in this game as a "death" he must be catching up to Brad soon.

If I could buy a downloadable version of the game for $15 with one quarter of the content, I totally would. But I'm not into the genre enough to pay full price for the game, which I probably wouldn't even finish.

Coincidentally, Pure used Morpheme -- the animation blending middleware fron NaturalMotion (which seems to be made to use alongside Euphoria). I think GTA4 could have been much smoother with the transitions and used procedural animation more often (such as when the occupants of a vehicle shift their weight during a hard turn) if they also use it instead of their own blend stuff. But being blown 10 yards into the air and landing on your feet, no matter how wonky looking, is a cool thing.
 
Pure animated terrifically, especially on PC with a ridiculous number of frames. I hope the use of Euphoria is really expanded in Red Dead Redemption.

Yeah Pure was great for that, little light as a game but great.
 
i use the free endorphin learning programme on my PC time to time, it's great for setting up wrestling moves...and tables! haha

@Death_Burnout: Yes, I also played around with that. Endorphin LE is a truly awesome toy. Also, I meant Morpheme instead of Endorphin in my previous post. The other non-Euphoria NM animation software. D'oh.
 
For those wondering, Endorphin is like Euphoria except for rendering animations before-hand instead of real-time.

Nowadays I like arcade style stuff like Motor Storm: Pacific Rift.
 
I enjoyed sim style games like this but not enough chaos.

This is generally due to the internet disconnecting for a split second which cancels the download of the video

I wonder if Jeff was having problems through the offroad stuff because he was full throttle the whole time. He seemed to be tearing through everything.

Would be an interesting racing game if the AI wasn't so braindead and actually tried to avoid running into you.  That would simply infuriate me to no end, trying to perform as flawlessly as possible and along comes an AI driver with no self-preservation ramming into me that I'd have no way of avoiding.  Fuck that.

I was totally thinking Smuggler's Run as soon as that coloured smoke appeared. Man, I wonder how bad that game would look if I dragged it out and gave it a spin.

Hrm looks interesting for this style of racing & will definitely throw it in the gamefly list to try out later. Hopefully the huge number of digital death & doom in this QL acts as a minor buffer for Brad so he can get through a few future & exciting Quick Look videos without dying. Too bad though on the game that they didn't introduce some combat from Road Rash with all the bikes flying at you in a race.

My friend was the lead animator on this game, and they canned his ass, and many other higher paid people just days prior to the release, because they didnt want them their bonuses.  It think it was due to the fact that they knew they didnt have a good game, play mechanics wise.  THQ are a bunch of cheap bastards!
