Title: Can everyone just stop pretending Penny Arcade is some sort of neutral entity?
Post by: Tigerriot on July 16, 2008, 03:19:26 PM
The PA guys are basically full fledged Microsoft corporate partners these days, so can everyone just stop acting like their opinions still mean more than a random Xbot posting on a forum?  These dudes have an exclusive game out on the 360, Major Nelson regularly talks about 'hanging" with them, and their PAX expo is damn near a Microsoft sponsored event. 


So let's just get that out in the open from now on.  We've all seen their funny comic about E3 by now, but let's all be honest about where exactly they're coming from, since it isn't exactly hard to figure out anymore.

i got a 3 month ban on neo-gaf for suggesting PA treats microsoft games differently (by giving examples of multiple games they don't like, yet approach the posts very differently).  

edit: and it doesn't really matter who they have hated on in the old days.

Riiiiiight.  Things have been VERY different the past year or so, and it's just getting old seeing no one bring it out into the open.  They may poke fun at Microsoft, but in the end they're very careful to not be too harsh on them.  Those special handling rules only apply to Microsoft.

I honestly think that lets Nintendo off easy. It's not "stuff I don't care about," (well, it is) but it's just lazily designed stuff that I don't think looks good at all. Last year Wii Fit really...well, it was obvious that wii fit was well designed even if it was well designed garbage. Wii Music looks like a complete joke. If you can't pass judgment on it because IT'S NOT FOR YOU then whatever.

I've never seen such a lazy piece of trash from Nintendo.

For some reason you are not on my ignore list, but I didn't post this thread to win some argument.  I posted it to just slap the facts out there for anyone who wishes to believe otherwise.  They're not fooling anyone anymore.  Penny Arcade are basically a mouthpiece for their game publishing partner, Microsoft, and their buddy, Major Nelson.  In other words, their opinions are meaningless, just like when Major Nelson gives his opinion on what he thinks of the PS3.

i don't think the most recent comic is a great example of their microsoft bias.  and i don't think it's as much of a microsoft bias as it is just a "appease the populus" mindset, and microsoft happens to be popular now.   

just look at their posts (not just the comics) about MGS4 and then compare them to their posts about halo 3 (two games they dislike).  they are cautious with their language and reach out to halo fans, and then for MGS4 they write the most convoluted, elitist, condescending shit you'll ever see on their site.  

i never said it was a conspiracy--i've just pointed out how they do show a clear bias.  it's not a tin foil hat theory so troll someone else.  only an idiot would look at penny arcade as a neutral, objective party--the problem is that many people who agree with PA's opinion like to give authority to PA.  PA are very much like anyone else on the internet posting their opinion, and yeah, it usually involves a form of bias.  

the 3 month ban i got just shows how horribly incompetent neo-gaf's community management can be.  a 3 month ban for disagreeing with an opinion on a discussion forum--absolutely ridiculous.

There are a total of two interesting, relevant announcements from these three presentations combined.

Without warning, in the middle of a presentation jutting with skewers of sizzling beef for the faithful, the entire presentation devolved into a series of gruesome outtakes from the fucking Today Show. They have seen the future, and it is the past. To that end, they have committed to a radical alteration of the user experience. I have no idea what to make of it yet, and the product as shown in in turbulent flux: this single walkthrough clearly shows as many as three versions of the future Dashboard.

Wow, those are some really mean things they're saying there.  ::)  It's one thing to critique an obviously casual/family centric part of Microsoft's press conference.  It's a whole other thing to completely attack the very reason for existance of the competition's machine.

Here is another part of Tycho's post today about E3.  I guess patrickula "forgot" to post this part earlier.


Quote from: Tycho
As for Sony, well, let's talk about Sony.

There is nothing I hate more than a foregone conclusion. Beneath every vicious (that is to say, factual) statement I have ever made regarding the company, there has existed the indubitable truth of their ultimate victory. This certainty extends, yea, even unto the company itself, which is why they have done so little to earn your love. The rumble-free controller with built-in batteries, the one that turns off while you're updating your console every other week, that one that inexplicably loses signal from time to time but everyone is too chivalrous to discuss it, the one that is now obsolete because two years ago they tried to save money on something they knew they would have to pay anyway - this "six axis" is the icon of a system coasting on global brand inertia. Announcing features that your competitors have had for coming up on two years does not a riveting presentation make. Exclusive PSN content (like a movie length Ratchet and Clank game, or thatgamecompany's Flower) are still the company's most compelling asset.


There is one aspect of this Tycho quote that I absolutely love.  He brings up the PS3 controllers that "inexplicably lose their signal from time to time, but everyone is too chivalrous to discuss it". 

That is one of the most ironic comments of all time from an Xbot.  Considering practically the whole world was too fucking chivalrous to tell the fucking truth about just how god fucking awful the RROD problems really are, and how pathetically slimey Microsoft's attempts to ignore it really were.  Irony doesn't get much rich than that folks.  He's butt hurt that no one will go after Sony's big bad controller problem, which by the way was completely fixed on units manufactured soon after launch, and yet doesn't say a whole lot about the 360 systems failing in record breaking numbers.  Hilarious.

EB is practically a living, breathing monument and celebration of hypocrisy. It's the recognition of this fact, and the proud flashing of the 'Cynic Old Twit' badge, that makes it different. You'll find a general leaning towards the Xbox brand here, but that's purely a matter of numbers. Roll with it, that's the lesson of the day.

That said, there would certainly be a different tone if the situation was reversed, that is true. But again, hypocrisy is the lifeblood of this place.

you guys seem to get awful worked up over something you claim to be meaningless.

why do conservatives always pick Nintendo?  I guess it has to do with holing up in a old timey fantasy world where reality doesn't fully penetrate.

I always see the "conservatives = Nintendo" line... don't know if I buy it. I'm a Nintendo fan (although, there's no way for me to defend the travesty of this past E3) but have been voting Democrat since I've been old enough to vote.

I'm against Affirmative Action, believe in welfare reform, and pro 2nd amendment though

If anything, I'd think the Xbox market would be the conservatives, mainly based on hearing all the good ol' Southern boy talk on XBL.

that's more the frat-boy style target market and lack of any real enforcement for bad behavior than anything else. On the PC you only occasionally see that kind of awfulness in most games because usually it means a perma-ban from the server admin.

I honestly never made the nintendo fan = conservative connection. I just assumed that most of them didn't/couldn't vote.

well they spent a sizable paragraph trolling sony's past instead of talking about e3.  bringing up details of the ps3 launch serves no purpose other than to trash the ps3.  it has little to do with the topic at hand -- e3.  it'd be like if they spent a paragraph talking about the RROD for no apparent reason.  

not really saying it's a problem though.  a lot of people who disagree like to put words in my mouth and accuse me of thinking that PA shouldn't be allowed to say it or whatever.  i'm not saying they shouldn't be able to say any of this and i defend their right to say it -- but don't be a fucking idiot and scream "tin foil hat LOLOLOL" when someone brings up a criticism of PA.  

the hypocrisy shown here and on GAF is that you all throw "tin foil hat"-trolls at anyone who points out a PA bias, but then turn around and call Shane an sfag etc.  it is no different.

I've noticed the Nintendo fans = Republicans connection, too. My theory was that it had to do with the way Democrats let reality define their beliefs, and Republicans let beliefs define their reality. Nintendo says that such-and-such is awesome, and Nintendo fans fall right in step. We have always been at war with Eurasia.

Penny Arcade sucks, so who gives a shit about what they say? They put out a game that was crap.  They serve as proof that nerds on the internet can bitch all they want, but when it comes time to put up, they can't deliver.  That is their contribution to society.

this is a very interesting observation that i hadn't thought much about. somewhat insidious, but yeah Japanese culture is strong with those roles and it's not suprising that they are reflected in the company's business approach, especially given just how conservative a company Nintendo really is.

It was though, that much is true. When my first console RROD, any mention of that was met with accusations of me spreading "FUD" and whatnot.

Let me explain for you Xbot.  The RROD problem became widely discussed once Microsoft admitted it was a problem.  For the 18 months prior to that occuring, reporting on the RROD problem was ridiculously sparse considering the magnitude of the problems, and how much evidence there was to back it up.

It looks phenomenal.  They also ditched the high/low/whatever settings in favor of gamer/enthusiast/poopsocker settings to make sure it will run on your PC.  They are making sure any computer under $1000 (their testing rig is $600) can run this game high enough to look beautiful and blow away everything else and run smooth.  There are still higher settings, but those are for the enthusiast and poopsock crowd.

Nintendo says that such-and-such is awesome, and Nintendo fans fall right in step. We have always been at war with Eurasia.

That's pretty self-serving; everyone's reality is shaped by their pre-existing beliefs. Conservatives are simply less likely to discard those beliefs in the face of challenging evidence. After all, conservatism, an amorphous ideology, is simply a form of traditionalism, which seeks to maintain the status quo while being very suspicious of change.*  

It is this traditionalism, along with a strong desire to identify with an in-group, that keeps conservatives loyal to Nintendo. Nintendo was making console games long before MS or Sony, when nfags were impressionable children. Nintendo is tradition.

The claim for Crysis came after it was released.  They got it to run on a $900 PC.  As you can tell by using the power of math, $600 is quite a bit less than $900.  Add into it that this game actually looks better than Crysis and you have yourself bow fucking bow bow material.

I think I prefer insecure Nintendo fans to insecure Sony fans.

Something about being in last place, I think. Causes panic.

When things look bleak and people believe they are under attack, they can act really irrationally.

Of course, identifying with a multi-billion dollar corporation is irrational in itself.

I don't think Koreans like to be called chinamen.

good thing I'm not talking to koreans then (I was making a generalization there. Of course Koreans aren't Chinese, nor would they like to be called something like that. However, this is EB and we don't really do the PC thing here as long as we don't piss people off. )

I'm really hyped about this game, but they really need to spill the beans on the multiplayer modes in the game. They've been very secretive about what they have planned and i have all sorts of ideas as to what they may be up to and all of them are like VACATION TO BONERTOWN awesome.

gamespy and IGN do a really good job on the PC front. Gamespot is decent for editorial/videos, but their screenshot viewer is awwwful.

You can also get vids of this stuff through gamevideos/gametrailers too.

The reason why PA is so loved in the community is because of Chilld's Play you dumb fucks.

That is cool, as is PAX, but it doesn't stop them from making bad comics and games.  And the only reason I dislike this comic is because all this shit has been said by everyone on forums, except now it has that fucking art style with it that I see every time I open a magazine as some stupid ESRB ad.

I agree that Sony had the most games at E3, but you also have to take into consideration how much Tretton made a point to call this year the "Year of the PS3", when well over half the games that they showed are not going to be appearing this year. I am not apologizing for PA, just saying that I can see their rationale.

I watched it too. It went PS3, PS2, PSP, and back to PS3 shit out next year(except for GT which was in the first section). All those are on the market TODAY. Why wouldn't they talk about them? PS3 still had the most coverage. Regardless, the "smell of Sony's desperation" stinks worse than Sony's actual desperation.

Good for him.

We don't all have to feel the same about everything. How many other games shown at E3 have CGI trailers? I've seen a couple non- PS3 exclusives here on EB. Why is just Sony being bad? What if that GOWIII trailer was real-time on the PS3? It's Sony's hardware. Why would they make something they couldn't get the most out????

I hope LBP creates some sort of 'dress up/fanfic/cosplay like cute characters' subculture so that Sony fanboys can completely take the crown from Nintendo fans.

I know there are Xbox fanboys out there, but for the love of God please don't be as vocal as this stupid shit.

The other 2 companies did not claim it to be "year of console x", and then proceed to show CG clips of games at least 3 quarters away.

Er, M.A.G. was pretty damned CG-y

Still not sure why Motorstorm 2 wasn't given a proper showing. I understand now why Killzone 2 was absent, but there was no competing racing game, so that makes less sense.

They are not for games this year. CGI woo'd this gen in to what it is now. It's the most cost effective way of generating hype.

The issue is that when you make a statement about this year, you may want to focus on games coming out this year. I don't think it's worth the negative attention it has gotten, but there's some shred of a point to it.

Ah. It was a long "showcase," obviously designed to demonstrate the vision behind M.A.G., complete with battle scenario, command view, vehicles and so forth. No gameplay though, and that was disappointing.

I agree, but I think that the PA guys took issue with Sony calling it the year of PS3, and then proceeded to show games that will miss this year. Even though I agree that CG is a good way of generating hype, I don't think it is the best direction for gaming. Look at the fallout from KZ2 and the expectations for that game alone. One could also make the argument that the PS3 was founded on hype and thus faces an uphill battle since it has yet to prove to be the CG powerhouse that was promised. Had Sony been more judicious in its utilization of Cg hype, I think that it would be faring much better in the media.

I guess it all depends on how LBP, and R2(amongst others) do. This year,"Year of the PS3", is a little more than half over. It is still building a library. Libraries don't happen overnight.

yeah, i think the MAG cg used some in-game assets.  lighting/AA are obviously not game-quality and the effects (explosions, particles, etc) were probably beefed up or 100% cg.  

(http://upload.dfyb.net/uploaded/vlcsnap-1758630.png)
(http://upload.dfyb.net/uploaded/vlcsnap-1759209.png)

but the player models aren't really more detailed than what you see in other games today.  i'd say they're actually less detailed than some games' character models, which is expected for a large scale game.  that vehicle shown is also realistic for game-quality.  some of the other parts of the environment are probably not in-game quality though.

I think the question here, who believes that is Zipper capable of competing with for example Guerrilla in this respect? Let alone on a large scale, with massive player count. It's target footage, man. A clip created to demonstrate the vision.

Of course those models are worse than killzone and gears stuff. But they are still using models which you'd expect to see in a 16-32 player game. You'll never get models like that in a 256 player game.

I never thought I would need more than 32MB of RAM when I started out. And I payed a mint for it.

i think you overestimate how much games need to scale down model detail just to get more players.  large scale games are all about LoD.  only the characters very close to you will have max detail -- the ones farther away are rendered with very little detail.  look at planetside and compare it to other, smaller scale FPS of 2003 and you'll see it stands up pretty well when you compare characters up close.

The reason Penny Arcade Adventures: On The Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One was so long in coming to the Playstation Network had nothing to do with favoritism, and everything to do with technology.

"Everyone seemed to come up with their own rumors," Ceraldi said. "They thought there was exclusivity or that Penny Arcade doesn’t like the Playstation 3 but that wasn’t it at all."

After announcing their game for the PC, Linux and Xbox 360 Hothead discovered they had to essentially build their own version of the Torque game engine to bring the Penny Arcade Adventures they wanted to consoles and it took much longer than they expected.

"At that point we were fully committed to getting the game done as soon as we could," Ceraldi said. "So we focused on PC, linux and what we had already announced, the Xbox."

"As soon as we finished and got approved we moved those developers to the playstation and they started working on it for the Playstation Network," he said. "Until we got it running the way we wanted to look, we weren't going to announce anything."

"As soon as we did a full play through of the game we announced."
