Would have been a 4 or 5 for me. Seemed like a lot of recycled material and underwhelming games plus a highlight or two.That was a 8/10 show to me, so I thought they were really harsh with their scores. Sure, the format was weir and they had way too much picture in picture footage but for a TGS conference, it was really good. There were a ton of great games and trailers, the pacing was fantastic and while the VO was corny, the format was still better than Sony's E3 conference (lol). I'm really looking forward to Judge Eyes, Project Awakening, Sekiro (amazing trailer, so much better than the E3 one) and Left Alive.
My only real complaint is do they really need to Switch port beg during a f'n PS conference? It was extremely obnoxious.
I take it you've never watched a TGS conference before then. You have to set expectations accordingly.Would have been a 4 or 5 for me. Seemed like a lot of recycled material and underwhelming games plus a highlight or two.
Yeah, I felt really bad for the translator/interpreter. It was an impossible task to interpret a trailer like this with multiple characters that spoke in quick succession live for an audience.Despite liking the announcements the presentation was awful. Having the poor lady live translate the judge eyes trailer was like "why ???". I feel like we already figured out so much of this years ago but I guess backwards bubble Japan memes.
It's a short demo. (15 minutes for me but I skipped all cutscenes to not spoil myself).Yeah, I felt really bad for the translator/interpreter. It was an impossible task to interpret a trailer like this with multiple characters that spoke in quick succession live for an audience.
They had translated trailers uploaded to the European SEGA youtube account a couple of hours after the presentation (and I guess to the US account as well), so why couldn't they at least give her that translated text to read (they shouldn't have interpreted the trailer at all imo).
It must have been horrible for her. I hope she got paid well.
That said, the whole trailer still made my day and I am still pumped for the game (I will check out the demo if I have time between finishing Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Forza Horizon 4).
I think you're thinking of the Spider-Man 2 movie tie-in game, which is not the Spider-Man 2 that Kyle played. I mean, I disagree with the movie game not being good (although it gets worse once the mechs get introduced), but that's another topic.Spiderman 2 was never a good game... But the swinging was good.
There's also been much worse!

Gotta agree with Hazz3r in that the PS1 Spidey 2 is probably far from the worst Spidey games. I haven't played it myself, but it didn't seem half as bad as some of the abysmal old Spider-Man games I know.
That Pokémon card game actually looks fun.
Is it too late to get into that game?
I agree having a live translation of trailers is stupid but they've been doing it for like 5 years at this point, you've just gotta accept that that show isn't for us and set your expectations appropriately. If anything, this one was actually far better than usual because it was limited to just the Nagoshi + Judge Eyes segment, in previous years it'd go on throughout the whole show.Despite liking the announcements the presentation was awful.

Last Tuesday of the month, so Sept 25th.
Friend Code was great this week.
I do think they should try to show some footage at the bottom of the screen during it, especially when they're discussing Directs.
What caught my eye is in the past when I've seen them show up it'd be a large collection of publications. This time it's a small group of the biggest sites and then EZA pops up.That's really cool! :) I had gotten used to seeing their scores pop up here and there, but frankly, their awards seem more insignificant to the industry, for lack of a better word. It's eye-opening to see it appear in promotional material on the Playstation Twitter!
Not a fan of the guests at all really (ninty podcast). They need more DON, started watching Funhaus as he's supposed to be involved there, didn't find much so far unfortunately but I kinda like them and might keep watching that instead.

Thinking about it, my favourite bit Kyle has ever done was the Easy Allies Podcast he opened with by pretending he was about to start talking about Brexit and Huber was in.

With all the talking up of Animal Crossing potentially being in tomorrow's Direct, we need Jones on the reaction stream for sure.
Unless they're filming something tomorrow, I don't see it being worth the drive for 35 minutes of crushed dreams.I'm hoping for as many Allies as possible. Would be great to have an E3 setup with a small camera in the corner but that might be asking for too much for a Direct.
The first podcast after Brexit was the 6/29/16 one. Link here; joke is around the 9 minute mark.
