The Eurogamer TV Show - Episode 9

What's with the arm? :)

a queue??????

Unprecedented demand lol

Lovely jubbly!

We love you Johnny!

/starts fan club

I know - it can't be unprecedented if it happens every time EG! ;-)

Arrgh! I hate Queues.... there must be a shorter one somewhere else?
Still no download option :-(

Really enjoyed this episode, well done. I'm surprised that Darkness looks so good and interesting, hopefully it will match the chronicles of roddick.

"Cell needs uhhh AI uhhh that's a lot of data"

well I for one am convinced

Sony's answer to the "why show Home so late" being Sony is a company that wants to show the representative product and has an attitude of "show don't tell".
Has their stance changed since E3 2005's trailer extravaganza? ;)

Resistance is the Next NEXT gen, is it?

Fuck sake.

BUY A 360.

I'd bet if they announced the TV giveaway an hour or two before the PS3 launch would've been massive, as it was just a last ditch attempt to not look stupid in the press next morning.
Ray talks a lot of bull doesn't he though.. show and not tell? Oh so you told us it would be a worldwide launch, guess that showed us.
Neil was mostly honest with a small amount of spin/marketing (Blueray drive for 360? not going to happen ever..).
The videos at the end do come out definitely on the 360 i'd say as in game graphics compared to the usual lush Square FMV doesn't cut it (even if that FMV is rendered in realtime - remember the bouncer?)

Good show guys.

Come on Eurogamer sort out your bandwidth allocation. This happends everytime...have you not the resources/cash/knowhow/goodwill to avoid this?

Thompson: "I would say to those consumers that are looking to buy PS3, or even Wii, if you're asking yourself; "what's the best HD gaming platform, which delivers the best online experience," then there is no better choice than 360."
Nice. Conveniently suiting the 360 offering with those questions.
I've got a better question: "Which platform holder is looking to encompass a broad range of software titles to encourage the uptake of a broad consumer market so that my online experience will not be limited to the hardcore/geeky/kiddy?" Not 360 then... ;0)

Next gen next gen eh? Ai needs the most disc space?

Ahh hell all this Sony ribbing has been done to death. Can we not leave them alone to wallow in their disgrace and fall to a lower market share?

No shortage on games on the Horizon to help you make your mind up? Well some Horizons are more distant than others it appear, with all the 360 games coming out this year and only vague '2008' release dates for the PS3.

Seriously, get both if you can. Pick up a cheap 360 now and enjoy the next 12 months, as the games that are coming look fantastic. Then, early '08 get a PS3 as I'm sure their 2008 will looks as good as MS' 2007.

Good episode

RE: comments above-

I got a 360 Premium instead of a Core, but traded the Premium in for a PS3 as I wasn't using it.

I am considering an Elite when the 65nm chips are used - the Elite 2?

Then, next year, I'll get a 360 Ultra which will have HDMI 1.3 and built in HDDVD, no wireless and will come in a sunny orange colour.

Hopefully, in 2009, the 360 Super will be out with all upgrades incorporated and a direct debit form for Microsoft to deduct a yearly product update charge from my bank account.

good show,

As unprecedented as the last broadcast.....

A good watch. I have to confess i have bought both and at this moment in time i think the xbox is the better platform, only because the online features are so much better on the 360. I guess this will change when home comes out for the ps3. Sony just need to get GT4 out asap then problem solved :-P

Come on Eurogamer sort out your bandwidth allocation. This happends everytime...have you not the resources/cash/knowhow/goodwill to avoid this?

We'll be increasing our capability in this area soon!

This is a joke been trying to watch it for 1.5 hrs
I mean guys you are a major gaming site buy some bloody bandwidth from the ad revenue.

Rash: Bollocks. I suggest you actually look into what you say before making a fool out of yourself.

Xerx3s, I suggest you make a point before telling people they look foolish. You clearly fit that bill.

bandwidth was fine here. just finished watching it. thx.

Rash' - Xerx3s is correct.

dbeamish: ???? What is he correct about? He didn't actually make a point. So you want to run that by me...

you are being too rash
Ha. I made a funny.

dbeamish: :-/ Not with standing your lack of originality, I'm still at a loss regarding your point. I'm beginning to think you or Xerx3s don't have one.

Bloody 'ell, that sony guy spouts a shod load of bollocks doesn't he? If you have to be, whichever side you're on, you can't disagree.

i loved the comment about how blu-ray is necessary for advanced AI.

that made me chortle.

So the PS3 is next next gen, if only they said that to begin with maybe they wouldn't have got slated on the high price!

dbeamish: I didn't think you had a point any more than Xerx3s did. Fact of the matter is a large proportion of 360 content is gear towards the hardcore/geeky/kiddy contingent, which is reflected in the online community currently prevalent on Live. Future products don't fill me with much confidence regarding Microsoft's long term strategy, so I have to ask myself based on their immediate output over the coming years is 360 where I want to be? On current hardware prices the short answer is, no. I'm happy with my Wii and PS3 so Microsoft will have to do more to convince me they can appeal to a bigger market than the one they are currently trying to whoa.

Hmmm, I found that disappointing.

When it said they'd be head to head I thought they'd be in the same room! That is when we would of seen some real entertainment! The Darkness looks great though.

Is that his wanking arm?

Done my wanking arm a couple of times- that alone is the most painful part of the recovery.

Johnny whats with the arm?

Did they have a black Xbox 360 in there?

I approve of this episode. In fact, I'd say it's the best one yet.

Keep it up!

minkley! your arm looks silly!

bloody english teacher shouldn't have had a nice arse.

fantastic 4 looks terrible

also i loved how they both answered the last question nigh identically except micros guy took the piss out of the wii.

urban, your grammar looks silly!



LOL!!!

That's the first one of these 'TV Shows' I've watched.

I liked it. Good work all-round.

Wow. That was really good. Excellent show guys!

im not disagreein with you rash on the point ure makin, but from previous experience ive found ppl, on the overall whole (youll always find idiots and that includes playstation online no doubt) to be very friendly and interesting to talk to.

i guess you have experience from different games though perhaps?

Touche mofo's good show

I found it very interesting that the Microsoft guy was talking a lot about Sony/PS3 but the Sony guy didn't mention Microsoft or 360 once.

There were a couple of cringe-worthy comments in there from the Sony guy lol

Another great episode of eurogamer tv. I like the PS3 technology, but I prefer the X360 exclusive titles slightly. Buying a console this generation is not an easy choice unless you buy them all. The storage media debate is still open in my opinion. I still think it was premature for Microsoft to dismiss next gen DVD for game content, and don't like how they are taking a reactive strategy over a preemptive one (not just in hardware but in combating online services like Wii channels and PS3 Home). I found it interesting that the Starbreeze developer hinted that the PS3 version of Darkness will have more content than on other platforms. If Sony can deliver on their promise through this year's games, they will catch up lost ground very quickly despite the high price of the console.

Does anyone else think the Microsoft bloke looks like Captain Jack from Torchwood??? ¬_¬

Oh and that sony guy looked drunk! or was he just tired like the whole Sony brand lol

wired009, Good points. I'd have to agree with you on the reactive strategy front with Microsoft.

The Sony bloke was a complete knob jockey wasn't he? How did he manage to say that with a straight face?

Good show though EG - (though as usual, I'd rather see more of the games)

Heh "man" what happpened to your arm?
