Wouldn't it be 20 game companies, since there have to be at least two to hate each other? 🤔

Konami vs Capcom in the early 90s will always be my favorite... both sides cranking out left and right

You know I've watched too much Gameranx when every time Falcon mentions Driver 3, in my mind I say "Drivethreeare" lmao

Be Gaben "Does nothing and prints money" "Competition constantly shoot themselves in the foot and blames steam"

Yo. I'm happy you initially recognized publicly that you didn't know the word, took criticism well, adapted with it, then recognized your source. That's the true public callout in that story. 10/10

The worst part is that Shadow of Mordor/War pretty much took Rocksteady's combat system full hog. Same button to counter, a little glowing things about enemy heads for the timing, the exact same button combinations for instant kills... I didn't need much practice with the shadow games because i played so much Arkham Asylum and City.

Nah, Tim Sweeney talking about corporate greed is HILARIOUS. So funny because my games Home Screen is cut in half by an X men collaboration.

Also, Embracer and every company acquired by Embracer.

Great video. You guys should do “like each other” next because insomniac and naughty dog are just wonderful, and I love how their friendship started

Honestly, if Obsidian could make the story, dialogue, and RPG systems then have Bethesda build the world and art design and some of the studio for combat and you would have a perfect game. I am in the Obsidian boat, but I like the Bethesda games as well.

Epic Store vs Steam is like saying you want to compare s**t with chocolate. Years and years later and they still don't have a review system or other features Steam offers. They can hand out free games all they want and cut better deals than Valve, but they'll never be Steam.

Epic is acting more monopolic way than Valve

I LOVED True Crime: Streets of LA. “ahh diggity damn! I got to go!”

Seeing Sonic's shoes by the trash can in Crash bandicoot was op.

as a Rockstar fan, I defend Sleeping Dogs, it's a funny, good looking, and well done game with its own identity, too sad that maybe we won't get to see more from Sleeping Dogs.

Lmao, "but there is one thing that game companies hate more than the consumer," so true!

CDPR went from having a cheeky Easter egg in Witcher 2 to being Ubisoft's arch-nemesis.

Gabe from Value is just laughing.

Excellent video topic. So interesting!

Driver "Tutorial" was sooo difficult when I was a kid. I was ecstatic when I beat it finally.

Almost 8M now, keep it up Gameranx!

did not know alot of this Thank you ! Can you make a part 2?

Amiga Vs Atari ST Those were wild days :)

12:58 - Don't forget Timmy Vermicelli with his armbands in Driv-Three-r!

Hey Falcon, great video again. Wow 2 videos today though or did you guys schedule has kinda changed? 🤔

You absolutely finished this beautifully - exceptional. 😭😭😭 OMG I HAVE TO GO BACK AND WATCH THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN... had no idea topic material (thought some government lake conspiracy with a lab underneath or something) had no idea topic material (thought some government lake conspiracy with a lab underneath or something)

One of the reasons why I love Gameranx. Just Top Notch lists

That's the kind of video I love this channel for

Companies I hate because they hate their own customers : Rockstar, Nintendo, TakeTwo, Activision, Konami, Blizzard and EA...

I can’t believe that the makers of drive-three-r were ever considered a threat to Rockstar. On the other hand they seem to make fun of everyone, so I guess it’s not surprising. 😆

Great idea, GREAT opening!

I was about to comment about BGS vs Obsidian but looks like you said it all well enough

The whole “Bethesda v obsidian” thing is even more interesting after what Todd Howard was saying regarding other developers working on their IPs

Unity (the game engine company) has to be one of the most hated companies by F'ing over so many indie devs. Or at least their CEO, John Riccitiello, is one of the most disliked CEOs. (the "charge players a dollar per clip" guy)

Nemesis system wasn't copyright'd, it was patented, which means it covers the concept, not the code.

I remember alot of those games and now seeing they had alot of meaning behind them is crazy.

I never knew gaming companies were beefing like this 😂 that’s awesome

i love the gameranx videos i have been watching forever and this is one of the better videos you guys have posted. I learned a lot and it was super informative and the editingh was great

Solution: Company Deathmatch

Nemesis system is patented not copyrighted and is absolutely enforceable. It’s not the code but the concept itself that is protected by the patent.

I was actually interested when I first heard about Fortnight as a co-op horde shooter. Not only did I lose interest when the battle royale spinoff became the whole game, I was successfully gaslit into believing the base building horde shooter was something from a quirky dream I had rather than an actual article I'd read, for almost a decade.

I love these videos because I learn things about the creators of some of my favorite games but I was not expecting the brutality of “the poster child for failing upwards”. Falcon the sniper.

Tim Sweeney is a comedian. EGS has barebones functionality. Let's see the platform rival Steam in terms of features and then we'll talk about how much is fair to take from game sales.

I’ve lived 30 odd years in between Dundee and Newcastle in a little place called Edinburgh, and I can’t say I’ve ever heard of a rivalry between those two cities… 🤔

What I love about Fortnite is that Save the World is kinda like the prologue to the story of the Battle Royale mode. Everything in Save the World is still canon to the story of Fortnite and happened before all this got started. They could have easily scrapped it and said "Nah, that's been retconned."

When I was a school kid (some time ago) it was the ZX Spectrum owners Vs the Commodore 64 owners. A bitter rivalry. I think the C64 owners were the pre-PC Masterrace people.

Fun Video, agree with a lot of the points I liked the true crime and driver series, they were kind of their own thing and should have leaned more into their roles, true crime being a cop set in a open world with cool fighting/shooting mechanics ) and driver being more focused on really good driving mechanics and interesting vehicle choices. but at the end of the day money talks and Rockstar nailed their series out of the park.

The sequel titled "True Crime: New York City" in my opinion was much better than True Crime: Streets Of LA. True Crime: New York City is one of my favorite old school games. And it was really good to see Sleeping Dogs get a mention. I just feel that game is so underrated and deserves more praise and recognition than it gets. So thank you for giving it a mention. 👍 Wei would be proud.

Never thought I'd hear falcon say dundee feels special

A lot of people forget that PUBG is the OG battle royal. The crator first made a mod for arma 3 that brought battle royal. From there he created PUBG. Please correct me if I'm wrong. But honestly, arma mods spawned games like DayZ and PUBG. The modding community is the true hero in gaming.

Tim Sweeny being bamboozleled that steam takes 30% cut and still wins while doing absolutely nothing to improve epic store front is just such a laugh, he doesn't want to compete he just wants everyone else to fail

Sony and Nintendo briefly acknowledged each other when Reggie Fils-Aimé, Phil Spencer, and Shawn Layden shared the stage at The Game Awards once.

Falcon’s voice does something to my

The Nintendo backstabbing of 91 is always an interesting story, them literally creating a monster. Nintendo must’ve felt like fools especially after the Philips failure and the complete domination of PlayStation for 2 generations, the entirety of 2000’s. There’s so many iconic PS games we probably wouldn’t have gotten if Nintendo didn’t backstab Sony.

Way to capitalize on the Drake beef! Awesome video

Always happy to see Dundee get a name check. For a city of just under 150k people we did some great things in the video game world! ❤

Missed out on the 3D Realms vs Gearbox situation with Duke Nukem. Randy...

I think the nemesis system being copyrighted worked only as an exception since, as far as I'm aware, no other game was doing anything even remotely close to that anyway. If anyone were to have any plans for a nemesis system it would just be other AAA games, which they already weren't doing. It's not like it snuffed out any indie projects either. I think that's the only reason the copyright was allowed.

Like other point out , Nemesis system is patented not copyrighted, but also concept if it’s articulated in a way that is non-obvious can be patented , the two known examples are the Namco’s loading screen mini games patent(that’s why for a long long time you don’t see mini games in loading screen) and Sega’s Crazy Taxi parent, so yes even though is ridiculously, company can patent game concepts

You forgot about Konami vs Kojima production.......

The reason the epic games store can't topple steam is because steam has exposure, and a standing, loyal fanbase. If they can figure out how to pass games down to family members, then we'll really be talking.

I played the Driver series and I loved them. Never played Driv3r though I will say... Or maybe I did? It was a long time ago and some things of my past are fuzzy.

7:32 Streets of LA was campy fun. I loved it and wish it managed to continue. Especially after Sleeping Dogs

I honestly don't get why a Nemesis system type hasn't been used in other games. It's such a cool concept

0:50 This is a classic “Top 10 Anime Betrayals” entry

The PUBG drama, if I remember correctly, came from, Epic helped the Dev with PUBG, saw it was popular and decided to "borrow" basically the entire concept and put it into the engine of their horde survival game. (Which I was personally waiting for, ha ha) Then when promoting it, basically said "It's PUBG where you can build stuff."

Regarding the Nemesis System, an indie game called Star Renegades uses a very similar concept, I don't know how they implemented it tho. They prolly won't get sued because it's a small indie game, but at least it exists.

One thing for sure, forget to conquer Valve. It's freaking old company with great games. And they never lost. After they joined with Steam, you can overcome those companies.

The epic games and steam rivalry, reminds me of 2 nerds arguing about which Texas instrument graphic calculator is better..

Any tips to improving a small gaming channel?

Im still salty about tne nemesis system. One of the best things to come out of games in the last decade

BioWare vs. Larian Studios, the latter of which is what BioWare should have been post-Dragon Age: Origins.

"Ps5 is for the hardcores" is probably the most Falcon thing I've ever heard Falcon say...

Origin vs Electronc Arts. This is THE hatred.

What about Marvel and Capcom? MvC Infinite literally ended their relationship, their games pioneered back in the 90s.

I'd say, in terms of a company trying to buy out another, that Vivendi going hard after Ubisoft was memorable. They were pretty aggressive for years, and it only ended after they got Tencent to take in some of those shares. Now you have them doing increases in stock as well, up to 10%. Wait. Tencent is short for Tenpercent. Man, Ubisoft should've seen that coming.

With how many times Todd Howard mentions Blizzard in his speeches, I'm surprised Bethesda vs Blizzard wasn't mentioned.

Falcon gets more righteously angry with every year and I'm very much here for it. Love that lad. I mean bird. I mean...

This feels inspired by the Kendrick drake beef lol

I'd bet they all have a secret burning hate for Arrowhead, and it's growing success, given its lack of greed that consumes the rest of them, all the while making their fan base incredibly grateful. Just a hunch...

Awesome video

My steam account was created 3 days after steam released to the public. Steam was viewed as a PITA to the CS community but they really did it justice and that was one of the best times I ever had in my life.

I've owned both Sony and Nintendo consoles together since the PS1 launched in 1995. I've never come home to find the two electronic boxes duking it out in my living room. They're just sitting on their shelves, waiting for me to play the incredible games that are available for each platform.

10 pairs of games companies… For how many great videos these guys put out, a miswording is easily forgiven. 🤙🏼

Fallout 4 was the first Fallout game I played and to this day I enjoy it immensely.

It's always interesting how everyone has developed amnesia about how Rockstar STOLE its GTA "formula" from SEGA's game creator Yu Suzuki's original Shenmue. Before Shenmue, GTA was simply a top down game with GTA 2. Rockstar's GTA 3 was a rip off of HIS formula. BEFORE Shennue, there was NO game featuring the entering of multiple buildings, dynamic weather, day and night cycles, NPCs having their own schedule, businesses in games having business hours, QTEs! ALL of Rockstar's "formula" was STOLEN from the mind of Yu Suzuki and Shenmue!

18:02 yeah you’re not wrong, the best thing done to a fallout game was the ammo crafting, that said fallout 76 is like a prime example of what kinds of features need to be in a main fallout game.. and a prime example of what features need to be left in an online game. I want to craft, and I like the camp building, I don’t like always needing to be online or paying to not be.

Blizzard vs. THEMSELVES

tim sweeney is almost the sole reason not to buy with epic store...

Me and my dad loved driver lmao it’s the only reason I got into gta . Driver 3 was so good tbh, I really liked it more than vice city and I LOVED vice city. If driver 3 had a lil more love from the devs it would’ve been the best

The Epic store and Steam rivalry is comparable to the Speed O Sound Sonic and Saitama rivalry. As in the former is unbelievably inferior in every way and widely disliked despite trying to buy loyalty.

great video.

Yes, I saw when that guy commented at Falcon, saying the word is quintuple.

Pretty sure Bloober also got a copyright for the dual screen thing from Medium

Konami and kojima production can also be considered as enemies if we remember their history

I had no clue about the driver GTA rivalry and mainer both series' 😂😂😂

9:43 The copyright of a software function IMHO should not be allowed. I'm a software developer (business not games) and I think this goes for most IP as well. As in that ideas are never original and are definitely not proprietary. Since every idea you have someone else has already had that idea before or that your idea will be largely based on a pre-existing concept or idea that someone else has had. Your ideas are a product of your environment and your teaching. Generally you observe something or are told something that gives you an idea. On the other hand how you implement that idea can and probably should be proprietary and copyrightable. Concept Vs Practically Implementation. Unfortunately there are many examples in software where concepts or ideas are so basic they are clearly not original. Such as raster scanning, or one click purchasing. Yet are considered to be implementation of a concept aka algorithm and have been classed as IP. I think definitely with software where the barrier to entry is so low and the up front costs of inventing or creating an implementation of an idea is minimal then IP just stifles creativity. It's primarily used as a way to control competition.

Man I used to love true crime streets of LA - was such a funny game

video idea for ya indie developers who's games blew up and what there up to now

The console version of Diablo 3 has a watered down nemesis mechanic, except the enemy gets stronger when you die and either hunts you or someone on your friends list who is online
