That was a great preview of Odyssey. I am liking what I'm seeing, but at the same time, I didn't play/beat Origins until February this year, so I definitely will get this at some point, but sadly not in October. Great preview though!!

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.
Would have been a 4 or 5 for me. Seemed like a lot of recycled material and underwhelming games plus a highlight or two.

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.

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).

It's a short demo. (15 minutes for me but I skipped all cutscenes to not spoil myself).
Also just cause some people had some wild ideas about what this is (reading stuff about how this might be LA Noirish), I just want to straight out dispel all of that it's a yakuza game through and through just telling a non yakuza focused story while introducing some new flair gimmicks(people are not going to like tailing I'm pretty sure xD) specific to the whole private eye thing but fundamentally still a yakuza game, there might be a good amount of connective tissue though with it being in the same city and world etc.. This has been disappointing to some but for me personally I'm on a Yakuza roll somehow I just super enjoy this style of game right now to the point where I don't mind playing them every 6 months.

My game of the show for sure.

Just watched Kyle's Spiderman 2 (2001) stream. Pretty fun. That description calling it one of the worst Spider Games ever made is riling me up though!

Spiderman 2 was never a good game... But the swinging was good.

There's also been much worse!

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.

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.

I really hope the Insomniac sequel is just called Marvel's Spiderman 2 to make the confusion even worse!

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.

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.

Yeah I kept hoping footage of the indies they were talking about was going to show up. Friend Code could really benefit from this.

Well well well

Look who made it in this video



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!

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.

They're moving on up!

Direct reactions tomorrow! Bring the hype. I want to see Jones flip the desk when Animal Crossing is finally revealed...or well, even if it isn't revealed. He's waited long enough!

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.

Might as well be disappointed now. Don doesn't seem like he really wants to do on camera stuff, aside from the occasional Syndrome & the regular group streams.

I think having occasional guests is great, especially for topics as varied as the Indie games discussed in friendcode this time. No one can play them all so it's nice to have someone who might offer a perspective on some of those the allies don't cover. I was happy about the mention of Cosmic Star Heroine for example.

Just like in real life it's good to talk to people outside your immediate circle of close friends every now and then.

Having said that, I don't want guests at the expense of allies, but as an addition they're great.

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.

I just want to see a new episode of Trifecta

Also people shouldn't campaign for don on podcasts. That's a lost cause. The real push is to have him do another Fiasconauts

He did one in the GT days and he was great

With all the talking up of Animal Crossing potentially being in tomorrow's Direct, we need Jones on the reaction stream for sure.

oh man can you link that

The first podcast after Brexit was the 6/29/16 one. Link here; joke is around the 9 minute mark.

Man, I keep forgetting that EZA has been around for a while now, and that the couch podcast days were a long time ago. Huber, get your shoes off that couch!

Oh man. The legend returns(?)


Moof 2.0 is blowing my mind. I also like how Kyle is calling back Yogalla's antagonism towards Moof by having Villiend be super suspicious of him.
