G4tv.com's Feedback -- Week of September 7th, 2009

I've never been so close to a pandemic before than this week at the G4 offices. See, some guy or gal thought it would be a great idea to come to PAX sick as a dog, roll around in some of the bean bag chairs strewn about in the convention center, wipe their nose with a Wii controller jacket and call it a day. Though a few of us (which I have dubbed "The Chosen") have managed to escape with no symptoms of "H1Nerd1," many on the X-Play and G4tv.com staff are down for the count. It's like The friggin' Stand here.

Billy and Morgan are among the casualties, but that didn't stop them from trying to infect Matt Keil and myself during this week's episode of Feedback, wherein between hacking and wheezing, we discussed the following:

  • Final Fantasy XIII had its Premiere Party this week in Japan, and once again they failed to provide the real public with the new trailer. So we just yakked about the eventual U.S. release and our current feelings toward the franchise.
  • Patrick interviewed Bungie's Brian Jarrard, who gave a little bit of insight at what the Bungie teams have been working on this year, outside of Halo 3: ODST. That includes Halo: Reach, and something that they're not quite ready to talk about yet.
  • Ten years ago this week, Sega released the Dreamcast -- which many now consider to be one of the industry's great final stands. Matt and Morgan spent quite a bit of time with Crazy Taxi and Seaman, while I call for the re-release of Chu Chu Rocket.
  • A reader asks why developers are so keen on including multiplayer modes when it's debateable if the game needs it in the first place. Our response? "Wait and see for BioShock 2."
  • Muramasa: The Demon Blade is our Game of the Week, and while it looks gorgeous and the combat system is fast and fluid, it still left the panel a little empty. Read Matt's review for some background.
  • Then Morgan and I develop G4's new mono-syllabic, grunt-based reviewing system. "Meh?" out of "Whee!!!"

M-O-O-N, that spells "Feedback."

    dude morgan is such a hater. i saw the feedback panel live at pax and she just hated on everything and then she just hated on everything in this feedback, she sure seems to have a lot of negative opinions on games that she doesn't really seem to play. is it just me or does it seem like she doesn't actually play through the games? it seems like she plays for 5 minutes, finds something to gripe about, and then goes and plays WoW. notice in this feedback how she almost can't even say ODST correctly.

    that being said, i do love the feedback and watch every episode. best show on the web. great job.

    I'm enjoying the Feedback segment. I know that sometimes on the various shows you don't have the time or resources to talk about all the nuances of various games that you sometimes would like to have. This seems like it allows you all to get together and talk about your impressions and thoughts on what is going on in the industry. I think it's especially nice to see some of the reviewers and segment producers who are normally behind the scenes. I love Morgan, Adam, Blair and the whole visible crew. But it's nice to meet some of the ones who work with them to get the reviews, previews, etc. all put together. Keep up the great programming!!

    I really liked the format. It's like a half hour chunk of news, updates and cool games to check out. The only advise I could give is this. For the game of the week, please make it a game that you wholeheartedly recommend. The Muramasa thing kind of irks me, since a 3 out of five is getting the no over better games (although this week I'll admit you didn't have much to choose from). All in all, great work. Keep it up. And good luck at TGS.

    Nice broadcast guys!:) I've never played any of the Final Fantasy series but I'm really tempted to pick up 13. Looks like it could be fun! Also super pumped for ODST. I think you're getting at something with the possibility of Reach being a massive multiplayer experience. Maybe even a massive coop experience:)!!

    I remember Digital Stuff in Vallco, that place was awesome. EB Games turned into Gamestop a long while ago, and after that closed like 5 or 6 or however many years ago there's been no reason to visit that mall.

    Anyway, Happy Birthday Dreamcast!

    I love this show. I'm an on-air radio personality in the central valley and for some reason, it's really gratifying listening to people in the industry have a conversation in a setting that is so familiar to me, yet accessible to other fans of G4 or Talk radio in General. After I watched the first show a couple weeks back, I went through and watched the rest of them immediately. I just want to say that I love G4 with shows like AOTS, and X-play, But this show in particular has now become my ultimate guilty pleasure on G4. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!
