I did a course on game design at college and my animation lecturer worked on this game, he was very ashamed of that fact

>We live in a world where Big Mutha Truckas has a sequal and Silent Hills has been cancelled. You wouldn't have needed Silent Hills anyway when Big Mutha Truckas 3 gets surprise announced at E3, headed by Kojima. Wait that'd a good idea. Eldritch/Psychological Horror-Trucking simulator.

I am 100% in on any videos still discussing this terrible, wonderful game.

Ride to Hell (Ft. Quan Chi Jinn riding on his Hell Beast)

1:56 "Especially in North America" *arrow goes over Canada to point at the USA* *Canada:* "Wha happun?"

One of my tutors in university worked on Ride to Hell. He showed us some of the early cutscenes and stuff where the models weren't textured properly. This was years ago, before Ride to Hell came out, maybe 2010? I thought what he'd shown us looked like a cool game so I asked him what it was, he said it had been cancelled but was going to be an open world biker game set in 60s California and (weirdly) that it was being made by Rockstar. He also worked on that Cartoon Network racing game, he said Bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls was the hardest thing he's ever had to model because CN were very very picky about line thickness and stuff so it had to be sent back and tweaked a bunch of times.

Why would we not want Ride to Hell Beatdown?? We do have phones!

I think the most hilarious part about this is that Eutechnyx seemed to only really understand how to make car, truck and rig games that met with success, so naturally they are asked to make a game about bikes. Classic gaming industry.

Ride To Hell is like the 11' 8" Bridge. You just watch people crash into it on KZfaq for what feels like hours and it makes your day better

I don't watch Angry Joe anymore, but his review on this game was priceless. Easily one of the most hilarious reviews I've seen.

Matt, you really excel at this kind of video. Keep up the good work!

Oh hey, Cursed Mountain was actually kind of decent for a C-tier Wii game. Hard to believe it's connected to Ride to Hell.

Uhm, THQ Nordic is NOT Deep Silver. It's a little complicated, but I believe Deep Silver's parent company (Koch Media) was acquired by THQ Nordic, but still operates as a separate entity within the Embracer Group (Nordic's parent company that owns a zillion other game companies). So they are still two separate entities. Technically at least. It's a little confusing because Nordic has changed names a bunch of times and Embracer used to be called THQ Nordic AB (a holding company) which is not the same as THQ Nordic GmbH (a game publisher). When we talk about THQ Nordic, 99.,99% of the time we're talking about THQ Nordic GmbH.

It was all worth it just to get us Obi-Wan and Quan Chi.

It's good to see Matt confronting and coming to terms with emotional traumas. Way to go, Matt! Here's hoping you can reflect on Omikron one day!

I filmed an interview with one of the studio heads before this came out and got to see it in development along with a few racing sims they were doing. I can safely say they had maybe one fifth of their manpower on ride to hell. Pretty much everyone else was working on an upcoming product for car dealerships which involved virtual test drives in VR and real-time photo realistic custom renders of colour and accessory options. That’s the stuff that has seen them make it past releasing the worst game on ps3.

YO! STALKER IS COOL!

I think the biggest tragedy of this game is it could've been good. An open world biker game set during the late 60's is an awesome idea. This game could've been special if it got the love and care it needed from an experienced developer. Imo a lot of the early trailers look really interesting. It's a crying shame we ended up with... this.

The 1% really catches my eye on the cover and makes me think.. “yep, they gave their own game a crappy score” Strangely I don’t think I’ve bothered to watch the full game or see the final boss because most gamers play it, have a few laughs, then realize it has lost its charm, and just give up. (like deadly premonition until recently where I’ve seen the whole game)

THQ Nordic also made a remake of Titan Quest, gave it away for free to those who owned the Steam version, and then made high quality dlc for it, so that's another plus for them. Also glad to hear you enjoy Night War, Matt. I also find it to be pretty fun! You and Pat should totally do a playthrough of it! =)

Oh boy! We in for a rocky road! I remember in the uk store. Tesco’s. Picking my Christmas present for that year and next to me, there was little jimmy who picked this game up and asked his mom for this. I took off my hat and knew he was going to suffer

The Quan Chi joke is still one of my favorites on the channel. The silent pause of the game is fucking gold.

HAHAHA You just made my day Matt :P

So... the Mighty No.9 WHA HAPPUN is upon us, eh?

I discovered this channel 3 days ago and it's been bliss! Keep up the great work.

WHAT HAPPENED TO AREA 51? AND AREA 51: BLACKSITE?

Killing it with these What Happened? videos, some of the best content you've ever made, keep it up!

I literally got chills when Matt referenced Rage Against the Machine at the beginning of the video, mostly because that's one of my favorite songs of all time, and the best part of the song.

I am consistently impressed by the thoroughness of the research you put into these videos. The projects that you cover might all be disasotastrophes, but the episodes of "Wha Happun" are always a joy to watch. Thank you for making them. And may God have mercy on your soul for having to learn so much about this game. I pray that you did not have to actually play it to make this video. :-D

(Apart from Omikron) This was the one LP you guys did that I felt physically sick of by the end. Like, sympathy pains for what you guys went through. That was some traumatic shit, and you're a braver soul than I for revisiting it.

Hey Matt, I love this series. Binge watched them all, thanks!

I WAS JUST HOPING FOR ANOTHER ONE! Matt your content is great and I love this series. Please never stop.

I know which Gianna that is and I feel like a degenrate now. Thanks Matt

I get immensely excited the moment one of these videos come out. This shit is so fascinating. Keep up the good work, Matt!!

Not gonna lie, my wife and I had a LOT of fun playing the first Big Mutha Truckas back in the day.

I was already digging this video, but then you did that DJ Slopes reference and now I love it

Ride to Hell is still my favourite BF Lp.

The RTH LP is the one I always come back to. So I'm super stoked you did this video!

I loved the best friends play through of this. Good info Matt!

the best thing about Ride to Hell is we got one of the best LPs ever done from two canadian fucks we love so much *insert green greens theme here*

These videos have become my new obsession. Keep it up man 👍👍👍

I knew that Eutechnyx sounded familiar. Believe it or not, I had Street Racing Syndicate and Big Mutha Truckers for PS2 back in the day. My dad bought a box full of obscure PS1 and PS2 games at a yard sale for me and they were two of the games in it. I actually enjoyed them for what they were. SRS was actually a fun racing game and it had really good graphics. Big Mutha Truckers also looked pretty decent for its time and even though the gameplay itself was kinda lacking and repetitive, it was quirky and trashy enough to be entertaining.

They tried to make a franchise out of this thing I guess you can say it's like the cheetahmen of the last generation consoles lol

Deep Silver didn't become THQ Nordic. They were purchased by THQ Nordic which was previously just Nordic.

Ride to Hell Retribution (3:17) is considered the lower-budgeted discount versions of Duke Nukem Forever (6:11), Postal III (7:38) & Call of Juarez The Cartel (11:37) combined into one, but made worse than those games.

These videos are so fucking good, Matt.

Love this video series. Also Slopes Game Room is great!

Dude. Random mention of Street Racing Syndicate… I played that game with my brother every night for so long… Not to get too personal but our parents had a nasty split up and SRS was something I would play with him when I had to keep him in my room to hide from it all.

I remember seeing a bit of a prototype for RTH and it looked really cool, had a nice theme and was a bit cartoony. I miss it. So much.

All Ride to Hell can't stop us now

Thanks for reminding me about the Pimp My Ride game

Ya know what I'd love is a What Happened for Thief (2014). As someone who is a huge fan of the series I've done a lot of digging myself into what happened and have followed it's production closely ever since it's announcement, but as far as I know there is very little actually documenting what happened with the game, even as someone who admits that that game is a huge guilty pleasure. Just throwing that out as an idea, if you don't want something too obvious.

Thanks for including that Bubsy 3D at the end there. That's what I suggest.

Love these videos. 👏👏👏

Omg your Slopes joke made my decade

why do the logo have a 1% in it? Is it because they ripped the logo directly from the game and it use to tell you your progress

The guy game needs a what happened video.

>Dissing S.T.A.L.K.E.R [Angry cheeki breeki noises]

I thought you said "euro JUNK" when showing Gothic screenshot. Almost flipped out.

I love the STALKER and Gothic games, but 'weird Euro jank' is the best description I have ever heard for them.

I recently became a subscriber after watching and enjoying this series. Can you make some "What Happened" videos on Superman 64, Agents of Mayhem, and Lair? I know Superman 64 is an obvious one, but ever since 2017, we've gotten more information on what went on during the making of the game and it would be cool to see you make a video about it.

What’s with deep silver and being the publisher of bad games

Dear Matt: I'd like to see a rundown on the tirefire that was the Duke Nukem Trilogy and Duke Nukem Critical Mass, which was also a Deep Silver joint. From a 4 minute trailer of logos and stock sound effects to accidentally losing the Duke Nukem license, the Duke Nukem trilogy leaves me asking Wha Happen?

I was just wondering when you'd make a video on this!

Anyone else notice that the intro of Wha Happun is cut up?

You really gonna use a Danny Phantom clip like that? I LOVE IT.

Went looking for a clip from A Mighty Wind, instead found a new favorite show/channel.

“How dumb is it to make a spin off game before your main game.” *mumbles quietly* but Toby Fox did it.

More of this please

I just woke up my wife and my son at that DJ Slope "cameo", laughing my ass off.

Deep Silver also made/or publish i don't know Dead Island.

I really like both this and Splatterhouse (2010) review. I like to see you cover Shadows of the Damned which came from the minds from Suda51 and Shinji Mikami back in 2006 but got ruined by EA.

Is that Dull day by the Dead Brothers used for the music at the start? Nice.

Okay now that Deep Silver - THQ Nordic part is confusing, so let's clear that up. Deep Silver (or its parent company, Koch Media...) was acquired by THQ Nordic AB, becoming a subgroup along with THQ Nordic GmbH (the one that published Darksiders III for example) and Coffee Stain, effectively staying as is. The two THQ Nordics were so fucking confusing that the Swedish parent company, THQ Nordic AB, which was known as Nordic Games until 2016 or so, maybe 2017?, this September, they announced a rename to Embracer Group AB, and the THQ Nordic publisher is now one of the subsidiaries of Embracer.

Well GTA Lost and the Damned was basically this anyways

We love you sproing

Battle Chasers was friggin' awesome!

*Looks at EA after watching this video* Me - Hey! Buddy! Come inside! I'll get you some food, you look hungry. Want something to drink? We can even play YOUR Star Wars Battlefront II instead of the good one! Does that make you happy?? EA - What made you change your mind? Me - *glances at Deep Silver* uhm...nothing?

Nice video.

Eutechnyx also did Supercar Challenge, a technically lacking yet very functional sim racer. It's still in my house somewhere

I had no idea that this was a continuation of brutal legends.

A little spec of me have that morbid curiosity of wanting Ride to Hell: Retribution to be remade into a functional game in the near future.

Can you do Brink? That shitty Bethesda first person shooter?

i can still appreciate that it introduced me to rival sons

THQ Nordic recently bought the rights to Timesplitters. The future is in their hands. It'd better be perfect.

i didn't expect to hear Satie in a video about Ride to Hell: Retribution.

Took me a second to realize that the Brutal Legend bit wasn't serious.....

Hey Matt, in case you didn’t know. Ride to Hell actually had gotten a DLC campaign that seemed to be worse than the main game

Watching Ride To Hell lets plays was like drinking _waaay_ too much. It was fun at the time, but I regretted it later.

Great video, still hope to see what happened with Aliens Colonial Marines, but Ride to hell was interesting as well

the legend.

this is truly the game that doesn't stop giving

Y'all saying Drake of the 99 dragons. Nah. Matt. We need a special wha Happun X EDGELORDZ crossover where you talk about the Edge magazine lawsuit and how the owner sperg out and try to copyright the word "Edge" which screwed up Soul Edge's localization

Hot Wheels: Beat That! Of all things from my childhood, I never would've expected that game to show up in a video like this Also great Slopes Game Room reference

13:51 "HELLO MY BABY! HELLO MY DARLIN'! HELLO MY RAGTIME GAAAAAL!"

Yo, these guys made Hot Wheels Beat That? That was my childhood, man!

5:29 "It's Harald Riegler from Sproing!"

Literally died laughing at the Slopes reference

They need to redo the game Ride To Hell like the original concept that was intended, an open world biker game set in the 1960s-1970s.
