Quick Look: The Next Big Thing

What's next?

Almost got it!, Dang it LOL. 

Thanks Ryan/Vinny for doing this Quick Look! You guys are awesome!

Fake Batman...

Nice, a Ryan and Vinny QL. Glad to see more videos going up. I miss the Dave radio show though.

Adventure games!

I was expecting a Brock Lesnar adventure game. Sadface.

Hmm I'm playing through this right now so maybe I should hold off on watching this

But it's hard to resist a Ryan/Vinny QL

Sweet, always wanted a game about Brock Lesnar.

Ya they've been making the Runaway series for awhile. I assume this is part of that franchise. I'm not a fan of it but some people like them. I still have the first one- it's ok but not great.

Edit: After watching- it would seem Ryan has the same feelings about it as me. It has a great art style but (even for Adventure games) they don't mask how slow it is. Mainly for me with the one I played I didn't find it funny enough to carry it. I don't know, this one seems like they're getting better so it may be more interesting.

The writing is still really odd- not sure yet if that's a plus or not haha

This looks interesting. I really did the art style. Too bad I'm not really into adventure games.

I do have one question though:

Why is Baxter Stockman in this adventure game?

Boooooooooorrrrrrrrrring

Really digging the art-style here.

Boring, not surprised cause its a pc adventure game.

I think you mean Vinny "The Italian Stallion" Caravella.

" Boooooooooorrrrrrrrrring "

" Boring, not surprised cause ist a pc adventure game. "

woah... I'm surprised someone other than me expected Brock Lesnar.

Giant Bomb is, kind of a big deal.

So Push Giant Bomb, REAL GOOD

This actually looks more interesting than any of the Telltale games.

Definitely gonna get this. I loved all 3 Runaways.

Kinda like the rat-a-tat back and forth dialogue they had going  there. If only the animation were as impressive as the art style. But I guess the Telltale games have the exact problem too, to a lesser degree.

This seems better than I thought it would be though!

Do real people say "ayo"?

" This actually looks more interesting than any of the Telltale games. "

The monster noir vibe is....disconcerting...

This lead woman is very Chie.

Yeah, how dare that not shooting someone in the face for like ... 5 minutes! ... this MUST be boring! "

I have no personal desire to play this thing but it is kinda awesome that classic point and click adventures still come out on the PC. And not only the bad and mediocre ones, but the very good ones, with good production values.

Will need to pick this up

 This looks much better than the recent Telltale games. Telltale's games have been way to easy lately. I don't think I have had to stop to think a single time during the Back to the Future game.

I like the voice acting in this game.

That blue skinned guy reminds me of Tengo and Jeego from Ghost Trick. I wonder if he has them on speed dial.

After the sad robot I was sold.

Very smart of you to answer like that, but obviously you failed. Games must be intresting, shooting wont make them fun to play and this game wont save anything. "

The 90s were awesome.
So glad they're back.

Can you confirm that, agent York?

some cool aspects of this... but not to much interest.

God, I do hope giantbomb does a quicklook for Gemini Rue. That game needs some coverage. Easily one of the best games of 2011.

I almost said "OPEN THE TRUNK" aloud the same time Vinny did. :P

The voice acting is good and the cutscene animation is (mostly) great. Not a fan of the lip syncing, it was probably just carried over from the original Spanish version without changes. It's also real strange to see them go to all the effort of modeling 3D characters and animating them and then chopping them up into 2D sprites for the actual gameplay.

A jab to the left, I hope you freeze.
WHO'S THE REAL MONSTER

PUSH IT REAL GOOD!

I played this, fantastic game, fantastic writing, voice acting, plot, humor.  To all the people that say it is boring, try enjoying a story every now and then that doesn't involve explosions.

They've been marketing this game by constantly trying to push in your face how madly funny and memorable the jokes and characters are, and judging from this QL, it's just like I expected. Not at all what they're promising. Vinny's yawning matched mine.

Looks rather interesting & added to wishlist on Steam to grab later when there's more time free to play this.

I want a new Broken Sword. 

Fucking damn "ayo".

This looks really really good.

41min Quick Look, with Winning Combo Vinny and Ryan and 3 seconds in its already great.

 I thought this game was cool, though I was disappointed that the world was not better explored.

Also, the last name of one of the actresses is "Batman":
