Publisher's note: Destructoid is launching our own embedded player in the next coming months, and with that we'll be bringing you a lot more exclusive video content of gameplay, interviews, and hands-on impressions from our Dtoid editors as well as Dtoid Community videos. We've promoted Greybush as our VP of all things video (and also cocks), so check out his first video and let us know what you think of the format and what you'd like to see more of in the future! -Niero Not Ron's note: I am an invisible black woman trapped in a skinny white man's body. But more importantly, Destructoid has access to basically every XBLA game coming in the next 3 months, like this video about Omega 5 from Hudson / Natsume due out this Winter. With the permission of a few PR folks (thank you, you know who you are) we can bring you hands on impressions of some unreleased games. Soon we can in fact serve this video in HD but this is just an example of what we're up to. Thanks to everyone that already provided feedback when we ran it on the cblogs. Granted, we obviously can't show too much of Omega 5 at the risk of giving away some of the surprises or spoilers. However, we can answer some basic questions and release a follow-up post with the responses. So check out the video and let us know what you think! Ron's Mom's note: Ronnie? Is that you on the Internets?

Looks like a pretty kewl game there Ron.
A game on Live Arcade actually worth buying is nice for a change.
looks awesome
Nice idea! I like the talking head in the begining, fading out once you get to the game itself. It'd be nice to have that fade back in as you're wrapping the preview up.
I might suggest taping the gameplay, then narrating it afterwards so you don't end up distracting yourself. I dig it a lot though, and would be totally into seeing more.
I will pay you to do this. With destructoid dorrahs.
Seriously though, if you do this weekly, or even every other week, it would help orientate me with the latest XBLA games.
Well, I honestly liked it with the distractions and all, but for the front page or something, you should tape it and then do it, as it looks and sounds cleaner and more concise then. But really, the idea itself is a good one, and you don't need to change much. As for the questions, that could work with us asking them, although I imagine some games might not warrant any decent questions occassionally. Thanks for the convo, BTW.
Oh and yes, this would help my decision. I am fucking buying this game, that's for sure. You seemed to enjoy it, the music is so old school shooterish, and you fly with no ship and shoot. Definite Buy.
Looks like a sidescroller Geometry Wars game, I'd play it.
Yeah, it definitely just sold me, so it can influenze my buying habits. I don't know that we need your ugly mug in the shot at all, but your sultry phone-sex-operator voice more than makes up for it, so if you really like being there, I won't hold it against you.
About the only important thing I could think to change is what Darkside said about rehearsing your presentation a bit with some pre-shot gameplay, but I personally like the more organic talk-as-you-go approach. You sounded at least as good as Jade Raymond explaining what was going on in Assassin's Creed demos. Probably better.
BomberTOID & Omega 5 is a reason to own a 360, NO?
I like the feature. That made me want to download the game on my imaginary 360.
This is a fantastic idea! Having someone actually make good gameplay videos? Who would've imagined that. I really love this idea, but you already pretty much showed everything I needed to know about this game.
Bouncing lasers and background things coming into actual gameplay just sold me on this. It does seem like there's a lot of trial and error, like when the big robot just jumps into view with no way to evade it. But since it doesn't insta-kill you, that doesn't seem like a big problem.
Keep up this stuff! Maybe if you have all XBLA games, you could ask the community which game they'd want to see in action the most?
This is an amazing idea, although I really should stop wasting money on XBLA games until Castle Crashers you just might convince me with one of these preview-ma-bobs.
I am feeling very positive about the video you did. The game was impressive (reminds me of Forgotten Worlds) and I liked the bit where the enemies move from the background to the foreground.
Btw, your voice is okay. More please. :o)
Yeah, this is a good idea Ron. Get someone to do the PSN titles too meng so I know what to buy there.
Sweet idea Ron.
in the game do you have any super movies? stuff you gotta charge up?
Man... Now I want a 360.
Great game and a great idea, too, Ron. Maybe add in notable Virtual Console and PSN titles, too, but that can come later.
The "gracial" fortress mmm... I know why they pushed back the game. ^_^
You guys have all failed at getting the only meaningfull question:
Is it better than Boom Boom Rocket? If not, on a scale of 1 to Boom Boom Rocket, where does it stand?
My only other question which isn't answered by the vid is how long does the single player game last? i don't want to spend my hard earned MS points on a half-hour game.
i dont know wardox. its long enough so far though.
never compare boom boom to anything. it is its own game area
Yah the one question I have about this game is how long is it.
Like I said before, I like the commentary over gameplay vid
Looks good, you sold me. I'd definitely like to see more of these. I also second Mxy's idea to record your dialogue once you're already recorded the footage. Oh, and consider doing these for VC and PSN releases.
Ron, I want to learn how to do that dance in your avatar. Just wait.
what's the five stand for?
This is a great idea. And the game itself looks really fun.
Good stuff Ron, great job! You should keep this stuff up, I dug it.
Show some of the other characters, is there a difference in ability?
get a friend and try out the coop.
I always thought it was ronworkmen without the g. And the game could use some mini games. Don't see how this can go online an not have computer co-op.
It needs more Jade Raymond. More Jade and it'll be an internet sensation!
Serial, this is a good idea, as I'd only thought this was an aegis wing with people instead of ships game. After watching the footage of the game play I'm going to pick it up. Mix some post-recorded audio with some shoot from the hip type stuff, and you should have some win.
dude, this is a really good video. I really like what you did with it and it would be great to see more of this kind of thing from any of the editors.
Sweet! Keep these coming and put them on the front page Ron. Also, that game looks sweet!
This games looks sweet man. Whens Castle Crashers coming out?!
GOD CASTLE CRASHERS! SWEET JESUS PLEASE!
Well, this is easier than downloading a demo.
Ron is hotter than Jade Raymond. Fact.
Yeah, great job, Ron. This was very informative; like bhive01, it would be cool if someone could do this for PSN titles (obviously, that may not be possible since Sony doesn’t seem like the kind of company that would deliver months of content early to Dtoid editors). That headset made you look even cooler than I thought you were, btw.
Good job on the vid, Ron. I don't know if the vid would help my purchase decision since my XBLA purchases are based on the free trial you get with every game (Sony, pay attention). I'm not saying anything negative about the vid, though. Dtoid definitely needs more of this.
Game looks great and I think it is a great idea.
Curios as to the difficulty level of this game.
Any chance we could get you to post all of the games that you so we can start thinking of questions?
from what I can see... will buy.
Simple answer to question: Yes.
Omega 5 is Ageis Wings 2?
Well, I'm sold on that game. Great potential feature, I'd be perfectly happy exactly as it is, but no reason to disregard all the good comments above.
Meh, looks like aegis wing with better graphics...
I love it, Ron. MOAR VIDEO!
Ummm hello? Rediculously long credits???
In the immortal words of Mick Jagger, "You make a grown man cry"
MOAR
Awesome, Dtoid's own video player! Take that, IGN!
embedded video player???!!
D-TOOB
reminds me of forgotten realms
niceeeee. i love shooters so much. i have so many shooters though :(
Do want. As a shooter fan I'm pretty stoked about this one :)
awesome video Ron. Thanks for showing me a game that I will be buying when it comes out to XBLA.
Omega V.. dang I've had my eye on this game for a long time. Ever since I glanced at an article @ Game Watch, to a nod from Insert Credit. This game will definitely deliver, and make gamers cry "tears of joy" or "sweet sadness".
Shmups are making a comeback baby! =D
Goddamn I wish I could get this without having a 360 =<.
Hudson gets unbelievable amounts of cred for publishing a shmup on such an ostensibly America-centric platform.
DO NOT WANT! -oh, wait, I mean... DO WANT! Seriously though, this game looks shit hot.
I love Lasers.
Looks good. Definitely some nice eye candy. Does the game randomize the levels or is it always the same thing each time through?
Forgotten Realms? Don't ya mean Forgotten World. Is this Forgotten World 2?
