Special -- Cesar's Tokyo Travel Log, The Lost and the Damned, Street Fighter IV

Monday, October 12th, 2009 – running time 27:49
Since Cesar was the only one at TGS this year, we asked him to do some light documenting of Japan for us so that we could live his experiences vicariously.

Segments

The new stuff this week consists of Cesar's pretty sweet travel log of his time in Japan during TGS. Japan is certainly unique and here within are some of the primary reasons why.

Since we're on vacation we were struggling with what to put in a show when we're not even supposed to have a show and the idea came up to post something most of you probably haven't seen. Prior to CO-OP being part of the Revision3 family of programming, Area 5 produced the show solely for your YouTube channel. CO-OP 0004 was a test-bed show for Revision3 where we actually produced the entire thing in HD so that they could try out their compression settings and what not in advance of our first, actual premiere on the network. Here, for the first time anyway, are the two game segments from CO-OP 0004 in HD.

GTA4 THE LOST AND THE DAMNED

Dan Hsu may no longer maintain the Sorethumbsblog, but yeah, that's what the titles for that section say in this episode because back when this segment was shot that was still before the launch of the awesome BitMob. Ryan and Cesar are also in this segment that talks about what makes this bit of DLC a definite must-have.

STREET FIGHTER 4

Miguel Lopez now works for GameTrailers, but back when he and Ryan had this chat about Street Figher IV he was still going strong at GameSpy. In a an excelleng segment that is prat reminiscing about past SF glory days and part review of the latest incarnation, it's one of the segments we are most proud of from our "Season 0" time period.

Whats this rubbish, seasons? vacation?

You cant even go 17 episodes without taking a break?

Diggnation, TRS, etc.. have been going for 3 years + now and theyve only taken time off a few times.

its not like your show is particularly long, you dont review a lot of games, what is it that you DO do?

Calm down artic, they still took the time to release a show, it's to early to be complaining.

Rewatching the Lost & Damned makes me super stoked for Ballad of Gay Tony. Can't wait to hear you all talk Uncharted2 that game is simply amazing. I was on the edge of my seat just during that opening level.

Losing your job, starting a new company from scratch, traveling more frequently than the other podcasts for game conferences and interviews, etc. I think going from nothing to where they are now in a very short time is deserved of a break.

This was the format of their prior show (The 1UP Show). There were a few seasons per year, then couple of weeks of "This is not The 1UP Show" (Or now Co-Op Specials).

By the way, I would love to see a recreation of Broken Pixels for these specials.

Excuses excuses.

Totally Rad Show guys go to the same events that Co-op guys do and they dont have time off and there is less of them than the Co-op guys, Alex flies every time there is a diggnation and he doesnt have time off.

Its not like the show is long, they pick 2 or 3 games and they stand around on a street corner talking about said games, im rapidly losing interest in Co-op i prefer shows that actually review the game than sit around offering anecdotes and opinions about the games, i dont want to see your faces i want to see the game footage.

This isnt the 1UP show though, its Co-op. No other show on revision 3 does a few weeks of real episodes then they have a break for a week or two because they are tired after doing sooooooo much work.

To be fair, Co-Op and TRS are shows licensed to be put on Rev3, they are not owned by Rev3 and therefore don't technically have to follow anything other Rev3 shows do, unless it's obviously in their contract.

oh and I feel the opposite about Co-Op. I love it, and I'd much rather hear someone's opinion on the game rather than a game review. I find their opinions to be much more valuable to me on whether to check a game out or not.

Wow, you seem to be way too worked up about it.

In reply to arcticfox:

This isn't the only place to get game reviews. You want game footage? Go to gametrailers.com. Their reviews are top notch with nothing but game footage. Co-op has their own format, it's a take it or leave it situation. It's not like we're getting repeat material. Plus, isn't the whole point of a review to give opinions about games?

And last I checked, Diggnation has been filming two episodes back to back and it seems to work for them.

Antidotes and opinions are eccentrically the heart of a review. I like Co-Op because it's not like other review shows I've seen (A two to three minute review all footage of the game in question, with a score placed at the end).

Other review shows:
X-Play - Written reviews are good, with a nice video summery.

Zero Punctuation
- No gameplay footage, but smart review.

Co-Op and the 1UP show are eccentrically the same show. Same group creating the episodes, with the same format, same style of reviewing games. It's just on Revision3 now, with a new opening sequence, no true closing sequence, Better cameras, a bigger pool of potential reviewers,and new setting (Mostly outside instead of the 1UP offices). Co-Op is a re-skinning of the defunct 1UP show.

Also, Co-Op is just one part of the same Area5 team (The company producing Co-Op), who hit some funding problems earlier (Ad market was kind of dry). They have been doing this as well. So, basically they shoot Co-Op, edit Co-Op, and do contract work to keep Co-Op on the air, that is a bit.
