Hallo! Jakenzee Gazkeel here. You might have heard that a few fellow G4-ers and myself were in Germany last week for Gamescom 2010. It was quite the jam-packed week, and there’s still content rolling in, so keep checking back for even more interviews, previews, and videos. For now though, we’re here to talk about this week’s episode of Feedback. Care to guess what the topic is? No. Not Stephen Johnson’s new haircut (although it is pretty sweet). Why it’s Gamescom, and all the news and game impressions that came out of the show, of course. Adam Sessler, Abbie Heppe, fellow Gamescom attendee Kevin Kelly, and yours truly discuss all the biggest happenings from this year’s big show, and bring you our latest impressions of some of the biggest games that were on display. 

Feedback -- Post-Gamescom 2010 Edition »


 

Achtung Feed faithful! Here are this week’s highly efficient and creepily nice discussion topics:

  • One of the biggest bits of news out of Gamescom was Insomniac Games officially announcing Resistance 3, and the new co-op title Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One.
  • BioWare made many a PlayStation 3 RPG fan’s week by revealing that Mass Effect 2 will be coming to Sony’s console in January 2011.
  • Valve is readying to release a new batch of downloadable content that will be playable in both Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2. (Can’t wait to see how long it takes for a petition starts circulating about this one!)
  • EA will release DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue, a sequel to the recently released downloadable adventure RPG title, in September. Too soon? No way. More DeathSpank please!
  • Assuming that Blizzard isn’t just being a bunch of jerks, this year’s BlizzCon will be the “biggest one we’ve ever had” in terms of Diablo III news. Release date? Console versions announced? What could it be?!

As you can see, it’s a full show, so get watching.

    FYI - Did a little investigative reporting. Klepek left G4 for a job @ EGM. Based on his obvious surge in popularity over the last calendar year, and a desire to pretend the whole world loves each other, lets just assume that EGM offered him more money.
    This is still a great show. As hard is it may seem, PLEASE find some young talent for the show/network. One major upside to Klepek (no offense Adam) he was from my generation, you know the 18-20somethings that buy video games.

    That dude with the short curly hair really needs to work on not talking with his hands. I thought he was directing an orchestra at one point with all the pantomiming he was doing.

    Feedback got the worst time possible for pax! You guys have to compete with Bioware/Lucas arts showing off SWTOR and Force Unleashed 2! I love feedback so much i am seriously crying on the inside right now, but come on you guys would go to the Bioware/Lucas panel too if you were in my position. So much love and sorry i can't make it to your panel. I'll be there in spirit, but mostly with bioware!

    I know Feedback is really classy, but for one show, insert video game quotes whenever Mr. Sessler makes an obscure reference or whenever someone says something that warrants a reply from a disembodied voice. Or better yet, assign one guest to manage a soundboard of quotes so that he or she can prescribe a dose of game dialogue according the conversation.

    Congrats on the Award, you guys rock! This is my one and only favorite webshow in the history of forever! I wish you continued success! And while I'm still wishing, I wish I worked for G4.. and could put in a life cheat code so I had infinite money... And now on to the reason I'm commenting. This is focused mainly on Morgan's review on StarCraft II and Metroid: Other M.

    So a few Feedback episodes back, Morgan makes it known that she has issues with the dancing Night Elf in the cantina in StarCraft II. I admit, I got a bit irritated that she found it to be sexist. I had played through the game and found it to be very tongue-in-cheek and an homage to their big seller WoW. Being a WoW fan as well, I didn't see it as "OMG, Female Night Elf doing sexy dancing!!" I just saw a WoW character doing the /dance emote. They could have put up a male Undead character on the table doing his /dance emote, and I would have still found it amusing. But I let it go cause I know it really can be a touchy subject.

    And then I saw the review on Metroid. Now, I didn't really follow on the release date for this game so when I saw that it came out, I was very interested to see how the game fared. 2/5. Shocked. So I watched the review to see what the issue was. Well I'm irritated again, and this time I had to vent. If the review was just about how bad the game sucked, I would have been fine. But whats with the sexist issue? Frankly [Morgan], it's offensive that you have been throwing up the whole sexist thing, yet when it comes to other games that deal with killing a Arabic/Russian terrorists or a German Nazi, or any other racial stereotype, it's totally ok then, nobody says a word about it. When the producers of these games set out to make the game, they were trying to make something enjoyable, not thinking "How can we make this game completely sexist?" I'm sure if they knew that it would cause such a uproar from Mini Morgan, they may have toned it down a bit.

    I mean, look at all the men in video games nowadays. All big beefy cups of man candy with epic beards or dark, brooding, mysterious with deep scratchy voices. I find it to be a really skewed and messed up view on how men are supposed to be (impossible in most cases, just look at gears of war), but I just take it for what it is, cause... um... it's a game. So with that said, Morgan, you're awesome and one of the best game reviewers out there in my opinion, but come on. I'm not trying to offend, I just feel there are worthier causes on the fight against sexism.
