GI Show - Final Fantasy XV Impressions, Ratchet & Clank, Oddworld's Lorne Lanning

[@oimrqs1691]

Amazing interview with Lorne Lanning and his VR thoughts!

[@hunterhewitt4231]

That Ratchet bit at the end! Amazing. I think a lot of people missed it.

[@JaminGray47]

I could listen to Lorne Lanning for hours.

[@Birthnote]

I loved the Lorne Lanning interview and the easter egg was priceless

[@ForeignSubstances]

Great interview. What Lorne had to say about the economic forces within the game industry and surrounding it was pretty mind-blowing.

[@biminian8923]

Man, I LOVED that interview Hanson, I really hope you have Lorne Lanning on future episodes! It also reminds me that I have yet to play New & Tasty, lol.

[@KAP_]

2:00:07 Best bonus end credit scene EVER!!!! So awesome!!!!

[@merkmobile]

Joe Juba is always wearing that sweater.

[@raulg22]

Amazing Interview, like always, wouldn't mind listening to another one with Lanning.

[@Darkseadee]

Actually, at Kerwan in Ratchet and Clank the obstacle training course was almost exactly the same... why yes, I have played the original 20-30 times and memorize it by heart... it's not weird...

[@fartyuio]

thank you for talking about hyper light drifter!

[@codeninja100]

omg i cannot wait for that Yoshitaka Amano interview! would love to see a tour of his studio

[@cyberpunkholiday]

Im so happy Hanson referenced Batman 89 ALSO, LANNING is one amazing guy! I really like his views.

[@Sam_Locke]

I'm really looking forward to Soulstorm. It's gonna have Twice Ze Flavour!

[@Artimes.]

True Open world i don't think would work for a final fantasy game. The final fantasy series has always been in a sense, focused primarily on delivering a linear story that you follow. But also to give you the freedom to go off the beaten path and do certain optional activities and side quests, but mainly the story has always been the main driving force. I am really glad they decided to take this approach with FF XV, keeping things traditional to the franchise. Rather then have something like Skyrim where its fully open world and you can see and do everything right from the beginning or go any where you desire. I think that would ultimately diminish the experience and it wouldn't be a Final fantasy game. Other fans expressed concern bout it being something like Xenoblade where you just get hundreds upon hundreds of quests and mission and the story is not even the bulk of the experience. I am glad that this is not the case and instead the games retain those traditional elements, all well delivering a next gen graphical experience with a fully lifelike and visually stunning world, all set out along the path of your main core story.

[@lanemiller4322]

Great interview, Hanson.

[@Buenas_Vistas]

I really liked hearing Lanning's thoughts on gaming, very smart guy.

[@KarlMonsos]

wow, that was a long interview.... but liked it alot = )

[@OnkelBermuda]

Lorne Lanning is awesome

[@9768236]

Lorne is my hero. Insane amounts of respect to that man.

[@linker12795]

10/10 interview 10/10 ending

[@vspectra]

Luminous getting a name change is definitely new news. Ben is correct :P

[@daleksec]

I met Lorne Lanning in 2012; Great guy! :D

[@FrogFraction]

Sure it's still in progress, but as it looks now there are some serious flaws with the controls, and I'm not getting the impression that they see these as a priority to fix. Things that have a severe impact of how much you feel in control of the game instead of trying to figure out how the game is moving your character around. Things like being able to control in which direction you attack by pressing the stick instead of automatically targetting an enemy, or being able to do special attacks regardless of distance to the enemy. If I ask some questions about this type of thing, will GI be able to answer them?

[@A2goddess]

Well it's been awhile I haven't played ff15.

[@PratikParija]

I actually didn't know it wasn't called Luminous anymore.

[@amour6144]

nice talk about the game without giving away too much thank you

[@brandonyoung6612]

Wow I must be the only person who liked FF13. Story wasn't that great, but had fun with it.

[@HReincarnate177]

Regarding the discussion about FFXV's engine, that actually is new information. Square Enix has been promoting their Luminous Studio as recently as late last year. There was the dx12 footage of Witch [Cry], the GDC videos of the engine's capabilities (with FFXV footage), and other things. So I'm pretty sure Joe had it wrong in thinking this was known or even hinted at.

[@BlackArroToons]

Interesting info on FFXV, thanks.

[@TheSperoman]

How big is the world map?

[@duelverse8410]

Wait a minute tonberries are in the game now!? Now I don't know what to believe

[@LightShooters]

I'm pretty sure the build they played of ffxv is months old

[@gameinformer]

+LightShooters I'm not sure why you think this.

[@LightShooters]

+Game Informer well back in November they entered pre beta phase. Implying that the build you guys played is months old. Here's proof: www.siliconera.com/2015/11/09/final-fantasy-xvs-pre-beta-build-is-complete-says-tabata/

[@amour6144]

+Game Informer i think cuz they say xv is in bate back in oct2015, and the one u played it say per-bate , unless they lie and they r still in per-bate

[@maoetsu]

+Game Informer because it was confirmed. Learn to do your homework, please.

[@LightShooters]

+Game Informer get bodied son

[@TheDkmariolink]

Sweet.

[@justus3n2]

I smell mistranslation, those green buggers are gonna be called dinkleberries in this one.

[@Lyra_1k]

Clank wouldn't rather watch Secret Agent Clank? What is this madness!

[@karlklein2263]

I would like to get into FF15, but out of the gate there is quite alot to take in, and i just want a good game. which, honestly that could still be the case, however with an RPG, especially a JRPG, the major selling point is the actual story and characters, so knowing that alot of the story for the game is gonna be put in other forms of media turns me off to it. It's still the same problem that 13 had in that there's just too much going on, and I think i would like it much more if it just began with the game, and then they decided to expand on the fiction later.

[@RagnarokMasta]

People will always go about Final Fantasy "this is all I want" when they really just want the last favorite final fantasy they played or their favorite game. Square needs to change some things and try not to market FF as a fashion label or something, but we have to admit we are a pretty fucked up fanbase, with mixed messages everywhere at times. I really have to wonder, in the cynical part of myself, whether people actually want this game to succeed, or if they just want Square to be humbled by failure and just kowtow to their desires, forsaking any future of innovation for "what works". Hopefully I am wrong about that. Nice job guys, I hope people have a clearer picture that Tabata and his crew are serious about doing all they can to make a good game.

[@Darji8114]

+RagnarokMasta Because every FF is so different then the other one. Be it the combat, mechanics , setting, story, progression etc. FF was never a stale IP like for example the elder scrolls series.

[@garmmermibe5397]

I just hope they finally fix the antialiasing.

[@garmmermibe5397]

+Jimmy Holdsworth The edges of themodels are extremely jagged. Antialiasing gets rod of jaggies and makes everything look smoother. And, while it's important to have a fun and functional game, I'm kinda sad the the trailers on my phone look better than the actual game on my console, and it's mostly because of jaggies.

[@garmmermibe5397]

+Jimmy Holdsworth I certainly hope so. I'm only worried because the Platinum demo is supposed to show the final graphics. And, it's been like a year since I played episode duscae but the edges of the car still look like sandpaper. Ugh, I really hope they do put some better antialiasing in.

[@rayman1900]

+Garmmer Mibe I saw an interview (sorry, don't have the link anymore) that said that they are working on the AA or some kind of tech that could fix it.

[@maoetsu]

+Garmmer Mibe I'm pretty sure the demo wasn't meant to show off the final graphics, after all it is simply that: a demo.

[@garmmermibe5397]

+Kurisu K. I watched the uncovered event and they said that it was the final graphics. That's the reason I'm worried.

[@ivanaleman6750]

no entiendo por que no activan el traductor de youtube, tendrian mas visitas y para aquellos no comprendan el ingles se enterarian de algo.

[@JoasXCloud]

Video ends at 38:52

[@wenchwoggYT]

Joe Juba needs some therapy with those weird VR ideas he was throwing out

[@sylvial1985]

Video starts at @4:13 don't waste your time on jibberish beforehand.

[@TheDrumkid92]

Just when I think I've found common ground with Joe, he goes and blows up over nothing and behaves like a 14 year old. Every. Single. Time. It's never graceful, and always leaves me feeling sorry for the other guys/gals talking with him.

[@lookitsricdan]

Context please

[@TheDrumkid92]

When Hanson was saying he hopes they don't mess up the story for the game and tell a cohesive throughline story. Joe went OFF on him. And then, once Hanson and Reiner talk him down, he makes a "whatever" face. Super immature and what I've come to expect from him.

[@lookitsricdan]

+TheDrumkid92 they are all friends and are allowed to be immature with one another. Not a big deal.

[@TheDrumkid92]

But it's not comradery. It's him getting angry over nothing and making mountains out of molehills. Pretty regularly, too. Also this is just my opinion, so it's okay that you don't share it.

[@Squall2020]

+TheDrumkid92 Joe has always been the grumpy old man of gameinformer. Always complaining etc. He's probably an alright guy but he is extremely opinionated and it can be a bit much sometimes.

[@Graavigala85]

FF15 is too anime, even the characters are annoying anime tropes

[@joshuaDstarks]

Hanson wants an ISIS simulator.

[@tonertonki]

Lol everybody is interrupting everybody, kinda annoying.. haha

[@jdfenix4925]

FFXV SUCKS GEARS OF WAR 4 IS SO MUCH BETTER

[@thenivixienzone486]

+Jd fenix You're seriously comparing an RPG game to a completely unrelated FPS game? Why? 0.o

[@jdfenix4925]

+The NiviXien Zone cut I want to got a problem?

[@thegreedyjewbrothers6370]

+Jd fenix Can't wait for FFXV to crush GoW is sales and ratings.

[@laughingoctopus8556]

10 years and is still not polished, good lord.

[@Astra_Invictus]

+Laughing Octopus 4 years... Vs XIII was canceled.

[@RatedRY]

+Shadowakashen14 lol no it wasn't, it was renamed. What's with all these ppl coming out of the woodworks lately spreading that lie? The game has been in development for 10 years. 10. Stop trying to downplay it. As for Laughing Octopus, i imagine developing such a gigantic open world with an arpg battle system & teleportation isn't ez.

[@LightShooters]

+unoder wtf no they said that they completely restarted development in July 2012

[@Astra_Invictus]

+unoder Vs XIII only entered full development in 2010 as the staff kept getting shifted to XIII saga games. Eventually the Vs project was canceled ( The director mentioned this back in 2014) and scraps of Vs was used to build a new game in a new engine.

[@tylerthunder2001]

They still have a few more months to Polish the game more.
