Zero Punctuation: The E3 Trailer Park

[Russian_Assassin]

I spilled my drink when I heard yahtzee say: "So, let's all jump around on the ceiling dressed like twats!". That's my favorite quote so far!! XD

 

[inthefade]

mmmm too lazy to read if everyone has been ranting about this, but I don't like the new metal intro.. makes listening to the video start and end really loudly and unpleasantly.

 

[twilight_dweller]

What? No love for MadWorld?

Feh, philistines.

 

[andomamern]

I thought you were kind of wrong with this one. There were actually a lot of interesting titles this year. Perhaps you missed them because EA was involved with the majority of them, and the recognition of creativity in EA may cause the apocalypse.

 

[yzzlthtz]

yeah, E3 seemed full of suck. i actually bothered to watch part of the sony presentation and after about 10 minutes i had had enough. what's the point of all that presentation value if you're not actually going to show anything? or the few things you do actually show are brief, meaningless, boring, janky, or some combination thereof...? i'd have gotten more out of a slide presentation with one-sheets projected onto a moldy wall in my garage.

RE5 looks pretty sweet though. i'm a sucker for some good co-op, and i played re4 until my thumbs fell off.

 

[MorganL4]

what about fable 2, and Spore Spore is new and innovative, sure its the sims meets a cvililization Diablo hybrid. but if you want to look at it that way any and all warcraft games are crappy and un original because they rip off LOTR to the enth degree

 

[Necromantic-Nerd-of-Doom]

Yahztee you should be ashamed! I've stuck by your every word and action up unto this point. I am SO ANGRY AT YOU! That was not a Magpie! How can you even broadcast that you live in aus if you don't even know what our native animals look like you twat! that was more of a Willy Wagtail than a Magpie. Perhaps you should leave the shit hole city called Sydney and spend a day in the country. Which is what every other british person does here.

No we dont. We just sit inside and watch porn and cartoons all day.


Oh and my heart has been broken by the forth Prince of Persia game. I've known about it for some months now but it just feels like a betrayal to the plot and my PS2.

 

[Valkir]

Very amusing. I'm starting to miss the individual song intros, the new music sounds a bit....fratboyish.

 

[Cycloneman]

Wow, pretty contradictory, Yahtzee. "Oh no, there are no new games, they're all sequels, unoriginal crap!" "Waah, the new Prince of Persia is different from the last one, oh noes!"

 

[Iori Branford]

Wow, pretty contradictory, Yahtzee. "Oh no, there are no new games, they're all sequels, unoriginal crap!" "Waah, the new Prince of Persia is different from the last one, oh noes!"

Clap clap, OI. "The new Prince of Persia rips off Final Fantasy 10-12."

 

[Heroic One]

I really really want Mirror's Edge to be good too.

 

[Necromantic-Nerd-of-Doom]

I cannot wait for Prince of Persia: Ghost of the Past (if thats still what it will be called) to come out because I want Yahtzee to tear it a new one after it totally betrayed the well rounded plot and the TRILOGY!

 

[Magnus Of Weelilplace]

A wonderful look into E3 that made me very happy I missed it.

Thank You Mr. Croshaw.

How can you be a cynic about games that are sequels to games you love?. Isn't a sequel just more of the same but slightly improved?. I mean gears of war 2 and resident evil 5 is basicly just that.

 

[Cycloneman]

Clap clap, OI. "The new Prince of Persia rips off Final Fantasy 10-12."

I figured it went without saying that it looks nothing like a Final Fantasy game, since you would have to have never seen a Final Fantasy game before for the idea to even cross your mind. "There is a fantastic setting and the main character covers his face? FF Clone!" Come on. Ignoring that it's not a role playing game, that it has a fuckton of platforming elements, there are a lot of elements that define Final Fantasy thematically beyond "fantasy setting," like pretty-boy heroes, and he even specifically shows that he knows what the FF games are like.

Is Lord of the Rings "anime" too? Ridiculous setting, evil empire, monsters that crawl and leap, et cetera.

Oh Grifmik, you have much to learn. Look up Fallout: Brotherhood of steel, and then tell me sequels are just the original game made better

 

[Mythbhavd]

I thought sequel meant more of the same, only worse. Oh...wait...we're talking about games. Sorry, got confused for a moment. I was thinking movies.

 

[Halfang]

Wait, I thought that E3 died last year, before being revived by FULL CASH INJECTION

PLEASE FIX THE MUSIC GODDAMNIT!

I very much enjoy ZP, have done for months, but one of the things that I really liked about it was the opening and closing music. It was witty, refreshing and very British.

Cheese metal and swizzy animations on the front and back of the show, on the other hand, are so offensively bad that they're putting me off watching ZP at all. Bad bad bad bad editorial decision Americanising something which is very un-American and generally making it look like every other crap review site out there.

Do something about this.

I'm sorry, do you watch these videos because of the reviews or because of the music? Stop whinning about this little change that doesn't even affect the overall quality of these reviews so... suck it up. If you want you can always skip the intro, but Yahtzee wanted it to be like this and like this it shall... be.
Moving along, great video this week, but then again do I really have to say this anymore?
