NooBTooB Ep 164 - Ratchet and Clank, Tekken 6, Lost Winds

[ollie511]

I thought "band hero" sounded dumb until i saw the video for lego rock band and thought it was the worst possible thing a game developer could make...

And then tobin said "looks like an abortion of a game on wheels" and that had me cracking up for over a minute haha

[KalinhoPL]

no thumbs for TRINE? it hurts me that u said bad things about this outstanding game. Cant wait for Trine 2

[CupboardNinja]

I love listening to you guys as I play Minecraft. 

[muanddad]

is it sad i would watch that empty table and blank wall video?

[TheDarkkeychain]

Now that's a bite-sized chunk of an episode hahaha.

[KingdomHeartsshow]

I LOVE RATCHET AND CLANK THE WHOLE SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bandonbasher]

noobtoob is awsome

[chillingLJ69]

what t shirt is tobin wearing?

[MatticusFinch1820]

I'm surprised you guys didn't mention Tekken 6's horrible load times. Especially between matches in 1 player. Its so bad I took the game back: and I love Tekken.

[leo1337hs]

im getting this on gamefly now!

[xRiseAgainsT27]

i just got Ratchet... and im sickly addicted i love it SOOOOOO much!

[JeffroHardy11718]

R&C is my nut sweat

[jaidalord]

zuni you mean zoni

[STOPDANCINGKEVJUMBA]

Tekken 6 is da shizz

[rayj778]

so tobin do u like ratchet & clank future or uncharted 2 more??

[King191912]

he had zero complaints for UC2, and found some complaints for Crack in Time. What do you think?lol

[rayj778]

i think i need a ps3....just because of those 2 games!!!

[ratchetandclankman1]

@King191912 dude wtf it is post to be other way around come on UC2 is the same game as the first one and ACIT is diffrent then the other R&C games you are not wrong i even serch it

[bread132]

Now that I've seen your whole review for ratchet... GO PLAY BLINX! it's a bit old but oh so fun

[RiseAgainstTheDay]

i agree blinx was the shit!

[DpadProductions]

hey tobin. umm i think yuzo might just have bad connection because iv been playing tekken 6 online for about a week now and all the games have been lag free so idk.. but yeah nice show

[WookhieManJoe]

good for you

most people isnt that lucky

[DpadProductions]

@WookhieManJoe well obviously there are a bunch of people without lag cuz i talk to people when im playing them and they dont lag so idk

[WookhieManJoe]

i duno man

theres a lot of complaints about this games online about it being laggy DC and a lot of problems with delay in action so im not really sure

[jacka94]

lol at "interacting with yourself" :P

[tobin00]

Ep 165 is live, everyone! Enjoy!

[WookhieManJoe]

i think i made a mistake

i bought Warhawk with the Headset

instead of Rachet and Clank Future : CIT

yesterday

its fun for me but the way you explain the new Rachet game makes me wanna trade in my game for it

[forzamilaaan]

@tobin00 Hey Tobin I was just wondering should I buy Bioshock 2 or Mass effect 2. I played Bioshock part 1 and I liked it, but I didn't play Mass effect 2. However I do hear a lot of good things about the game. So which one should I buy? Thanks!

[Snipinranga]

whens the new ep my main man tobin?

[tobin00]

Uploading as we speak sir, I just got home from London.

[FrozeanFails]

Yay, the new ep is gonna be up soon. Btw, why did tobin go to boston? Was it just to travel, was it a buisness trip, family, etc. just wondering tobin if you see this can you answer it. If it's personal i understand.

[tobin00]

London, not Boston :)

[timmytitch92]

the time bits with ratchet and clank remind me of blinx a little bit the games awesome tho :)

[G1ADlATOR]

also there is a demo for the game

[G1ADlATOR]

20$ only but worth every pinny you pay for it

[G1ADlATOR]

hey Tobin you got to try this point adventure game with a thousands of puzzles and amazing art on the pc

(Machinarium)

amazingggggggggggggggggggggggg

[BIGBADJONV]

2 things:

1: A good red wine is Shoo Fly Shiraz, it's fairly cheap, around $12, but really good. It tastes like it's going to be really strong and potent, but the only thing that lingers is the taste and it's gooood.

2: You hated on Evanescence, which in itself is fine, however a small fun and incredibly random fact is that I can see the high school that the lead singer went to from my home office.

[MentoDelirium]

Has Yuzo fallen into a hole?

Hurry up and finish MW2, the Noob Tube army are still waiting on ep 165.

[yuzow]

It'll be up tomorrow :)

[Nudgie68]

I know you guys didn't like Lego Rock Band, but I imagine it's to pull in some of the younger crowd. I love Rock Band, but my 8 year old son never got into it much. He loves all things Lego and is begging me to get this one( he has all the other Lego video games). Just sayin.

[gameandfilmfan]

Apparently this is Insomniac's last 60 fps game and its the end of the the Ratchet series. They are also making Resistance 3, don't be surprised if there isn't a Ratchet game for a while.

[GamMan93]

ya their going down to somewhere in between 30fps and 60fps so they can have a lot better graphics they said. but human eye can only see 30fps so not a big deal. but their not done with ratchet. this is just the last game of the future trilogy. they also admitted fans saw resistance 2 as a bit of a let down, though it is good, so really want to fix all that with 3. so 3 will kick ass im thinking.

[rayj778]

i wud buy a ps3 just because of R&C Future

[1264700]

Only 33 minutes?????

[tobin00]

It's concentrated.  When you add water, it's an hour.

[stephenrodgers1000]

i prefer it being shorter, i can't usually watch an hour long vid but this one, i watched in full

[eddtard]

i tride that on my dads laptop. now its not working:( lol

[gtareviewer789]

@tobin00 :) lol

[ratchetandclankman1]

@1264700 for me it is 5 hours

[ssjsuperman]

hay tobin you guys getting dragon ball raging blast

[GingerBear16]

Is there a reason that the video podcast on itunes hasn't been updated since pax? or is it just me thats having this problem?

[moleman119]

on the topic of puzzle games and the mention of valve... wheres portal 2 :D

[rustyax4]

can you guys review Aion online ^-^

[AlfieCool07]

dude i live in london badass

[TheGamecastChannel]

What kind of camera do you use for the show ?

[musterdsandwich]

Whens the new vid?

can't friggin wait

[hoptop77]

is it just me or is this one shorter?

[GamesAddict01]

SHIT!!! ITS HALF THE SIZE!!!

[RAYED2008]

ahh if only we can get a new jak and daxter i always like them more than ratchet and clank :) to be honest i only bought the ps3 ratchets cause i had no platforming substitute. Well i love ratchet and clank and im playing the new one now (crack in time) But i miss jak :(

[sunset261]

about the whole space part thing of ratchet. I liked it because you can explore more moons and its not just the tired old NEERROOMM, SHHWOOM, SCHWA, YOUR THERE! while traveling between planets.

[Feilur89]

hey tobin i've been trying to find what kind of headsets you are wearing ,but no match so far. i bought these maxel: s couple days ago and these suck. voice quality sounds really amazing on those one

[magicgreig]

GIVE ME 30 MORE MINUTES! The Trainspotting reference makes up for it! : )

[DirtbagD]

When it comes to red wine have you tried Merlot? It's very nice =)

[sirchadric]

WOOT go tobin and yuzo, I've been telling my friends bout you guys, 20k subs gogogogogo

also MW2 owns.

[pynergee]

Did you guys beat Uncharted 2 yet?

[tobin00]

I did! I don't think Yuzo has yet. And now that he has MW2, he probably never will :)

[Blastbox4]

make sure to do Dragon age and MW2 next week those are one of the best games i have ever played!

[finalsight]

Hey Tobin what are you in London for?

I'm just an hours train ride from there and it would be cool to make a day trip to hang out, drink beer/wine and play some games with you?

[tobin00]

We'd do 15 minutes of just a wall, and people would complain that it wasn't an hour :)

[pinkfloyd32389]

32:16

Aww man, I thought Jak X Racing was really good! Sorry to hear you didn't feel the same way.

[pinkfloyd32389]

Pause at 24:21, funny Yuzo freeze-frame.

[pinkfloyd32389]

The weapon shop previews in R&C sound like what Bioshock did with plasmids. With the little cinematic that shows what the weapon does.

[tobin00]

Yeah, good point, it was actually damn similar to that.

[Xarek]

14:24 O god, its Lost Vikings all over again

[King191912]

tobin you reviewed daxter by himself and gave it a good review.lol

[tobin00]

Yeah but I missed Jak :)

[King191912]

Well hopefully Naughty Dog will work on a Jak 4 while they're coming up with Uncharted 3.

[kihhn]

christ, 13 minutes of ratchet..

[tobin00]

I could have talked for 20 :)

[deedeeH88]

is karen somalian

[stephenrodgers1000]

i assume by now you got modern warfare 2, along with 60% of the entire gaming population, what do you think of it, it felt like a expansion of cod 4 to me

[marcusmalone]

Just began subscribing after an Australian gaming tv show was ruined. You guys are awesome. Somehow you manage to keep me interested with very little gameplay footage or other bells and whistles. Yes, Evanescence suck.

[tobin00]

Thanks for watching! I try to put in some good gaming footage for every game, but yeah, with an hour of talking, it's mostly just gonna be two dudes. Glad you like it!

[deedeeH88]

did yousay somalia

[drkaxel123456]

@LittleStevey1221

Actually i was kind of serious.

I love  evanescence *_*

[fezzyness]

you guys rock, i love you guys, totally honest, and dont give a shit what anyone else says unless they prove to you the legitimacy of their opinion.

only 1 complaint, your mini stories in the begining are getting worse xD while the rest in improving, but tbh, I'm fine with it, just sayin ;)

[yuzow]

Hmm, what do you mean by mini stories? We appreciate all feedback, including constructive criticism -- helps the show get better!

[YoGetOutDaWay]

I think he's talking about the "skits" you doat the start when you're pretending to play the featured game. (personally, I agree with him lol.)

[fezzyness]

by mini stories i mean the little skit in the beginning you guys do (ex. The Dragon age wine exlax) Do you understand what i mean now :)

[Wodism]

Band Hero

3 taylor Swift songs

a Jonas Bros song

Ali and Aj

Evanessence

Best. Game. Ever.

I fear for humanity

[longhronsforeva]

Nik's Quest is better then Super Mario Galaxy Tobin?

[tobin00]

Nah, they're very different beasts. It's hard to compare wiiware to a full game. They're both awesome.

[longhronsforeva]

Very true.

[SilentBat]

I like this show a lot because they aren't paid off by videogame companies so they give true reviews.

[tobin00]

Thanks!

[longhronsforeva]

Lost Winds= Amazing, but easy

[chukliddell59]

wow this was a short episode :/ only 33 min compared to the regular hour.wuts up guys?

[tobin00]

We explained it in the episode :)

[NJguy423]

good shit

[tobin00]

Hey man, I'll drink a free bottle of wine anyday :)

[rodrigopacheco12]

tobin, i think noobtoob at this point should ban racing and rythm games unless they are original or have a different approach, that way your not pising off ppl by making fun of those games( that forza 3 review was ridiculous, i understand u guyz not liking it, but just flamming the game isnt right)

[yuzow]

I think if we really wanted to avoid pissing off people we'd have to stop doing the show :)

There's a fair number of people who want us to talk about every game that comes out, and a similar number who are like you and don't want us to cover games we obviously won't enjoy. Very tough to keep everyone happy in this case.

[XBLrst06]

love the show (edmonton alberta) yow

[drkaxel123456]

OMFG you don't like Evanescence with their awesome songs and talent.

Why don't you go fu** yourself with something hard and sandpapery.

and btw Evanescence was in Rock Band.

[tobin00]

Augh I can't tell if you're being sarcastic!

[drkaxel123456]

@tobin00

I was being kind of serious.

I love Evanescence. :p

[TheBeast519]

How dare you betray Box Wine and Two Buck Chuck!

[tylerjesussanta]

Dragon Age is definitely a "Mass Effect" but with dragons, elves, etc. The script and voice acting is probably the strongest feature. The random character interaction is comedic genius and mostly well voiced especially the character Shale. Combat feels like an updated KOTOR which makes perfect sense to me. The pacing is a little slow at times but overall this is the best RPG to come out (on the 360 at least) since Fallout 3 imo. It is a must have for RPG fans

[bornacriminal]

idk why poeple bitch about tekken 6 the grafix on the background may not be the best but the movement of the fighters is super realistic the blur makes it look great.the campaign mode is an extra and it's actually pretty fun + you get gold and items with which you can customize your characters.online for as long as i played i only had lag in one match and it like slowed down for about 1 second and never had lag again.

[cowazakijoe]

i like the 30 min eps

[tobin00]

Wow, you're the only one that didn't bitch :)

[rb5500]

i loved those clank parts when you had to record yourself i just wish there were more of them and ya they get up to 5 record platforms which gets very fun and challenging but i have to say i was quite disappointed in the arena because i found that it was to easy and not enough variety in the arena like in some of the other ratchet games

[reaper0fanguish]

oope range put it in the episode :P

[EBKemanon]

Wait. So people bitch when the show is an hour long because that's "too long" but when they do a 34 minute one that's "too short?"

Oh YouTube, you scamp.

[kennyozakie]

noobtube sux CO-OP FTW!

[trixi0n]

iagree on the part where CO-OP FTW =D!

[tobin00]

We like coop too. What are you talking about? :)

[phaydeezy]

i think the creators did a great job on tekken 6. the bind system is amazing!

[BryanV4]

Damn guys ,shortest episode in Noobtoob history : P Even though you got no stuff, play flash games like before, make it a 1 hour rule yo!

but good stuff as always guys =D

:D

[tobin00]

We had plenty of games, just not enough time to record this week.

[chubu]

I'm so addicted to Dragon Age: Origins ]:

[cjjtheone]

ouch, i was looking forward to this new mode on Tekken 6.

[tekkenhalo]

Yuzo I saw that fourzerotwo commented to you on twitter! Awesome!

[yuzow]

Ha yeah that's neat. I guess I'll have to take vacation tomorrow now :)

[sokit2em]

hey u guys gotta review MW2 and Assassins Creed 2!!!!!! luv ur podcast

[tobin00]

Just as soon as they come out!

[captainclayman]

oh and for tekken 6, i heard on a podcast (i think bombcast) that if you disable the motion blur the game goes a lot faster and i heard the resolution is a lot higher.

[jellowbeene]

I can't wait for Half-Life 5

[tobin00]

Hah, for real.

[captainclayman]

i need money for MW2 and Ratchet!

unfortunately child labor laws prevent me from doing so.

[elchamber]

@captainclayman do you need both kidneys?

[larzlarzpantsonfarz]

Hahaha! Like the ending there.

[TipsyMcBoozerton]

Glad you guys enjoyed A Crack in Time.

My only complaint is that the game is pretty short compared to some other Ratchet and Clank titles, but with all the other collecting and unlockables to get, the gameplay can be more than 20 hours. Other than that, I would have to say A Crack in Time is my favorite Ratchet game for the PS3.

Great reviews Tobin and Yuzo.

P.S.

Thanks for warning us about those music games that are coming soon like Band Hero for example. XD

[cluecluefinder]

nice recognizer shirt yuzo. i was wondering, did you guys ever review elder scroll IV? if you did would you mind telling me the number of the video if you remember of course. tobin i completely agree on the valve thing.

[jgr9000000]

Haha, the electric cage moon... I actually glitched on that one the first time I played it where I had something (I can't remember what) push me through the cage to get inside. XD But then I figured it out later. I won't spoil it.

Everybody says it is extremely polished. Yes, it looks fantastic, but this is honestly has to be the glitchiest one out of all of them. I find glitches in it all the time.

Also, I'm 2nd in # of space enemies destroyed! (Jgr9)

[burstlight7]

great show but too short this week : )

[rodrigopacheco12]

tobin, im afraid your excitment over jak and daxter is going to go down the shithole. they ruined everything about jak and daxter! quality on cutscenes is horrible, the controls sucks ass, the jokes are horrible, jak's(and daxter´´s) powers stink, and the usual combat skills are faulty and dont feel good at all

[tobin00]

Wow, I'm not minding it so far, but maybe I'm less picky when I'm travelling and have nothing else to play :)

[Marshallartsmaster]

are you playing the jak an daxter game?

[rodrigopacheco12]

maybe im being picky on lost frontier, but im a big jak and daxter fan, like you are to ratchet, and seing it stray so much from what the series was good at kills me. the way jak moved in the ps2 was fluid, here it doesnt feel right. also, the whole gunship thing is so boring, so outdated. also those quicktime events.... High impact is horrible at porting franchises to the psp(they should take a look at ready at dawn)

[harriscmh]

woooooooooo! R&C is awesome

[thehill2240]

still not sure whether im going to mw2's midnight release or not

[gunsnroses123456789]

Another good episode. A little dissapointed it only 34mins instead of 60. I hope you have a huge episode for MW2 next week.

[AliParada]

hahaahahahahahhaa just a couple of hours left tell mw2

[shadowcatgc]

Yuzo, I'd like to say your shirt is badass!

[XxyonsterXx]

my friend got mw2 early I sware to god

[jv2jfo]

He's from the north isnt he?

[4through6strings]

brutal,listen to that !st review,ratcheting up the clank of the same old same old, BRUtal LegEnd ! thanks for your show great stuff week after week!!!

[cougarsnumber97]

people... theres a shit load of information out there . i wish they could of talked about it . IM NOT SAYING REVIEW im saying tell us how you think the game will do and such ..

[tobin00]

We don't ever review games until we actually play them. Watching movies and reading information isn't good enough to make an opinion.

[DoctorMontalban]

Wait...so Final Fantasy 13 isn't game of the year?

[tobin00]

Not until I play it!

[kevinsdb1]

1 more day and Modern Warfare 2 will be upon us muhahahaha.

[cloverfield3345]

More like 4 hours and 15 minutes until it is upon us, you know unless you can't afford the gas money to go to the midnight release.

[the2ndbest2]

Really 4 hours? (3 Being at the time I wrote this). It was realsed in here is Aus about 14 hours ago.

[ThisIsDejohnnsta]

I sware, if I see one more comment that says something along the lines of "dude, WTF?!?!? y 34 mins?!??! lolllz," somebody is gonna get it...

[tobin00]

I know, right?

[DaCl6]

You can go back in time after you beat R&C, travel to the great clock and do 3 challenge time puzzles with Clank. They are much harder and you get a gold bolt after each one.

[stephenrodgers1000]

the only little robots i like in ratchet games were the glove of doom guys who just run around exploding and eating enemies.

[Teenplayer84]

I like the little robots...Last time i played a rachet and clank game was Going commando and i wished that i had more...stuff/mission to do with those little guys

realizes that the video was half an hour...

London? have fun

[LtNubes]

Only half an hour but that's only half the fix.

[ThomasAucoin]

Yuzo*

[dom1215]

nice little snippet :)

Why are you coming to london?

[ThomasAucoin]

Keep forgetitng to ask. What do you think of the Emotiv mind control headset? If you dont know what it is tell me and i send you a link. I'm pumped for it if it ever comes out and if they dont fuck it up. Thank you and ill comment on your next show soon!

[ThomasAucoin]

For all i know all rythem games are dead. Band hero, Lego rock band WTF! now i'm just waiting for deaf hero and sit on your chair and lissen to shity music band. Like you all i can't wait for MW2 to get released. Other then this weeks show being a bit short it was great. I can totaly see why your doing the short show tho londan is worth it. Have fun Tobin and i hope to see you youzo on MW2. Sorry if i miss spelled your name...

[sysouvanh]

omg my computer a bitch firefox is not playing the sound! its not in the volume mixer on the peace of Shit anywhere wtf hell is going on with this peace of shit ahhh

[owhsht310]

Modern Dickfare 2@@@@@@@@

[tobin00]

OH SNAP.
