Zero Punctuation: E3 2010

"Another Bloody Zelda/Donkey Kong/Metroid"

You say that like it's a bad thing, Twatzee.

"You found the breasts suit!" made my day. Kind of a metaphor for everything that has gone wrong with the games industry lately.

 

[TheScarecrow]

Ahhh, I was looking forward to this.

I'm not a fan of the 3D gaming either, hell I'm not that big on the 3D cinema but at least I could buy the dvd in not 3D.

Bad jokes?

Someone should just buy Hideo Kojima a male prostitue Raiden lookalike and lock them together in a bedroom for three days. That should get it out of his system. That said, I wouldn't mind if he sent me the lookalike after he was finished with him. And a pair of high heels.

So much Truth you said it all, i can't handle it in my brain, i might get depressed that this generation of games will suck ass so much that it doesn't even matter to talk about games anymore...

well, for now at least...

I didn't see that song either (at the end of the video, anyway). Was wondering what everyone was going on about haha.

That's because it's been removed from the end of the clip, possibly so that people weren't put under false impressions that the video was going to be an eight-minute epic concerning every minute game that was announced at E3, but probably because the Escapist got fed up with all of the damn Rebecca Mayes haters on this very thread.

Still, controversy feeds publicity, which ironically is what Yahtzee said in another review.

We should all just subject Rebecca Mayes to the greatest insult an enemy can receive; to be ignored.

 

[masher]

I -read- A Tale of Two Cities.
Good ending.

 

[likalaruku]

I don't even know why people bother with E3 anymore, it's just a parade of shitty sequels, remakes, and Blizzard and Valve promising shit.

For the same reason people keep bothering with Hollywood, I guess.

 

[WittyReference]

hehe great again Yahtzee. I couldn't give two shakes over motion control either.

 

[jefelopolis]

Thought this was actually pretty funny this time around. Btw, I'm really surprised that Yahtzee failed to mention anything about Portal 2.

 

[Zepren]

Oh you dick, I'm halfway through a tale of two cities, thanks for ruining the ending *menacing glare*

 

[droppingpenny]

So he apparently does not only writes Articles, where he complains about standards he made up on the fly, but makes videos where he does the same thing again? Couldn't care less, first and last video I have seen from this guy.

 

[Nin9Worlds]

"Splatterhouse looks fun"


Amen Yahtzee.

 

[signingupforgames]

I don't even know why people bother with E3 anymore, it's just a parade of shitty sequels, remakes, and Blizzard and Valve promising shit.

Yes but at least some of the shit has a ruby hidden in it sometimes.

 

[kibayasu]

I couldn't help but notice the Metro 2033 box art... he should review that.

 

[Sengoku Shunsuke]

As always, bang on the money. A brutal cross section/dissection of all that is wrong in the games industry and dare I say the entertainment industry in general. Keep them sweating in their ivory towers mate. Best regards.

 

[Rayniro]

Good episode but I FUCKING LOVE RIADEN

 

[Sexbad]

I couldn't help but notice the Metro 2033 box art... he should review that.

I agree. The fact that he compared it to Phantom of the Opera makes me feel more confident in him than the official Escapist review criticizing it for not being a run-and-gunner (I mean what the hell is wrong with a game not being CoD).

I enjoyed the yelling at game companies' attempts at motion control. One thing I think he should check out is feedback controllers. The Novint Falcon is basically a mouse except attached to a motor that provides feedback to your actions in certain modified PC games. Using a FORCE PUSH move in Kinect to push a box in, say, Penumbra would be a fucking stupid idea when it's far more realistic and immersive to use force feedback controls that make it harder to push around heavier objects. Or more relatably to most gamers, feeling some damn recoil when you shoot a gun.
