GDC Video Breakdown with Timestamps (Long Post)


Ok before you read. Please know that this is a long post. I watched all 4 videos and did my best to discover and identify every little thing that we have put into theory here on the forums and things that we haven't even thought of yet. I also tried to be as objective as possible, but do know I am a NC at heart.

Please toss up your own timestamps and highlight anything that you think is important.

Lets dissect these bad boys!

Also I have finished piecing together all 4 vids (not the bonus vid) and I am uploading it to my download site (dropbox) at the moment. So ill post here once it is up and ready for download for your eyeballing pleasure. (1080p quality)

Nice work.
I saw that TR quick knife too. Looks no different than how CoD QK looks.

Are you sure Lancer is back?

I was looking for a post to discuss this. Well it certainly looks like it. First we had that weapon director guy talk about how it's still the same now we get a snapshot of it being inside the PS2 for you to buy. I didn't see a Fission and the graphic was just some default nondescript thing but I'm feeling pretty confident now that the Lancer is back.

Well, according to the timestamp and the vid, yea. I spotted it right there. Currently it had a placeholder image. But I dont see why they would bother with making the item in the shop if they didnt have plans for it in the future.
