The HotSpot - Bastion, Dead Space, Little Big Planet - 3/6/2012

Also steam has very often specials were great games are like 5 to 9 bucks

I really dont understand why people wanna rent games who are only 7 dollars if you buy them like dead space, just go to the official site like the Origin or for games like darksiders THQ and you see that those games are really cheap

LOL Tom sounds exactly like Kermit!

I personally thought Dead Space 2 and Battlefield 3 had the best sound design, so I'm glad at least Dead Space is here.

@Travis_Odell -- You should buy the game, not rent it. YOU'LL MAKE A MISTAKE IF YOU RENT IT!

@Magrino Following an excellent interview with that Mass Effect guy with this GDC series is brilliant work. How did you get all these guys in the same room? The dialogue/music on Bastion is so gorgeous and the Dead Space 2 audio is very well designed - creature effects and ambient sounds esp. Haven't played LBP.

the bastion sound guy's beard is AWESOME!!!!

I'm going to rent Dead space.

Dead Space is winner no doubt about that.

@WCK619 Egregious oversight.

catapults! why isn't your lava lamp plugged in anymore?

The thing some of you guy are forgetting/ don't know is that Dead Space had a professional team to do the sound design, Bastion had one guy. Still both awesome.

Dead space only!

I think dead space derserve.it had super sound design and that was the only thing make the game horrible.

I just love to listen to these while I do my college papers.

what's the name of the new theme song?

dead space but all 3 were great,imo

Dead Space all the way, the other games were good as well, But the sound for Dead Space is just amazing imersing the player into the game. IMO Dead Space surpasses RE in survivial Horror Genre, can't wait for DS 3, Biggest mistake DS made was creating a new game for only one platform, i.e Extraction a prequel to a console that doens't have the orginal game. Either way any of these three deserve to win ,but my vote is for Dead Space

@anne_1230 Yeah, it's a low-priority bug, unfortunately. You can find the HD video by clicking the "Comment on this video" button.

If the rest of this week's podcast are as good as this one I'm gonna be super happy. A good look into how they do things and I like the admiration you can sense that they have for their peers in the industry. This was a great idea Magrino!

Tom, this was a really exceptional episode.

Not trying to put down the others, but Dead Space seems like a MUCH greater accomplishment just due to the type of game.

i choose Bastion its super

i choose LBP

I dig my hole you build a wall... I dig my hole you build a wall.....

Dead Space had some great sound design. Very well done.

I haven't listened to this yet since I'm listening to the Bombcast right now, but all I can say is... DEAD SPACE IS AMAZING! It deserves whatever award it's nominated for.

Great show! I'm looking forward for the next batch of devs.

Wow I did not realize that the dead space tram is from BART when I played it (bay area resident here). I just went on youtube to watch a video and I can more or less make it out in the background. That's so cool :D On unrelated note, HD doesn't seem to be working o.O

Dead Space!!!

Easy choice between them little big planet 2 winner..

HotSpot get!
