Even if you work with ACTUAL family

Usually yes! Especially in Game dev! I'm currently at a company with that philosophy, and its legit, they take really good card of us, and I really enjoy everyone I work with!

A terrible dysfunctional family that pretends everything's fine when it really isn't

That and Just Go to Laugh...THAT TURNS INTO ANGER!

True this Giuseppe needs to be fired

He's like the top brass of Konami condensed and reshaped into a primordial homunculus.

Classic narcissistic behavior. These people lack the ability to self reflect and live in their own alternate realities.

The guy is probably a narcissist

And then doesn't even deny it and also thought that he put a positive spin on it.

Well you want employee security dont you good way to get that is make sure they cant get work anywhere else it happens alot its honestly just buisness make it too easy to find better work they will so you make sure they dont get those opportunities otherwise you might end up with some new prick that is more likely to say something if they dont get paid on time or have to do extra hours you want to keep hold of the people that have no spine because they wont say anything to you if you need them to do anything (basically you want to make sure your people pleasers wont leave because they bend over backwards for a pay raise that they never ask for and if they do then you say they're under consideration) ethics has no place in buisness

It happens a lot with creative positions.

Sociopathy

I think the infamous Randall "Kid Diddler" Letcher Scott of 3DO DOOM fame still tops the short list of "people who know nothing about making a game yet somehow still managed to make deals within the game industry". The dude described the process of making a game as the "creative people" staying up all night and "the eye candy elf doing his work".

I assume it is a situation similar to Nikola Motors and Theranos. The company leaders only had surface level knowledge in their field but offered platitudes and lies to get ahead.

@@AntonioCardenasT I legit can't think of something of his that hasn't been a disappointment since Black & White. The sheer amount of bullshit that would come out of his mouth has to hold some kind of record. I have vivid memories of Fable being hyped to hell and back only for it to be an incredibly average game that would have been more fondly remembered had Peter not acted as it was going to redefine gaming.

Is it really like that over there?

@@thereseemstobeenanerror1219 It's worse

@@sachamorgese7280 Oh, god.

Don't worry about the Italian plumber. He has at least 50 lives left and there's a koopa on a staircase nearby.

@@ApocalypticJoker It'll be "juss-eppy" for english speakers, but in italian it's pronounced "juss-eppeh" because the e in italian is said like in spanish (you say it like the word "federal" or "metal")

Worth it

The original XIII is cheap as hell on Steam already even when not on sale and is a million times worth it compared to the trash remake.

The original was given for free on gog sometime last year.

The comics were worth it

I want to get it for the lulz and bc i liked the original one but no way ill pay 30 bucks for it

That’s my favourite thing about these videos. It gives the future developers of the world case studies on a project gone wrong which hopefully means a brighter future for gamedev in general

@@goob8945 might not be the developers you have too worry about though, it's the businessmen.

@@rubz1390 true, hopefully they’re watching too

Wait until you hear about Jeff spangenberg.

@@goob8945unlikely , more like they have trusted ppl who they pay to not do it either...

The unions long ago abandoned any pretense of defending workers' interests and now are just glorified HR firms who help enforce management's dictates. We're long past the time of unions, workers now need their own militant rank-and-file committees directly controlled by the workers themselves.

@@Los499 What you described is a union

​@@TheKaijudist Ask any UAW worker whether they consider their leadership to be "militant" or whether they feel in "direct control" of the organization. The unions are controlled by corrupt bureaucrats who make six-figure salaries for selling out workers, isolating and betraying strikes, and doing management's bidding. The most militant struggles that are taking place today are happening in rebellion *against* the right-wing union leadership, in worker-organized rank-and-file committees among autoworkers, parts workers, teachers, health care workers, etc.

Thanks so much, Sam!

Yeah Sam

Thanks Sam, really cool!

Been watching since the zaibatsu

I thought you said you've been watching since Matt was 13 & I really wanted to check out those early wha happun episodes! Lol 😆

I think this makes sense cause Matt made a video where he played this crappy remake a while back.

What game are you talking about?

Forget what?

If it weren't for Xplays Hilariously awkward interview with Adam West about this game. I probably would keep forgetting he was in this too. I won't ever forget Adam Sessler in that Robin outfit.

@@Psycheitout I give it an Adam We... OUT OF FIVE.

Yeah, that Giuseppe guy just set a new low for a asshole producer.

It was delayed so many times it was even joked about in game

@@JRyan56 tell me about it. I bought it day 1 and the season pass cause I figured it's bioshock, what could go wrong? Well, a barebones game with dlc that took a year to come out is what went wrong. Aside from red dead redemption 2, I haven't payed for a game at full price since. I've learned my lesson that anything could be a disappointment and with games being as broken and unfinished as they are these days, I'll never buy them til they're at least a year old - if ever.

Most overrated game ever was just a run of the mill shooter with racial tension felt like a m rated Disney film at times

Definitely worth a look considering how Ken Levine went on to do absolutely nothing after it.

My friends and I played SO much split screen multiplayer. It was a blast. I fondly remember all the sound effects.

Damn, I’m sorry bro. I bet seeing one of your favorite games be Bastardized like this must have sucked.

What's even more sad is that if a bunch of people kept sending the xbox part of Microsoft emails about backwards compatibility I bet they easily would have got the ok from ubisoft to take the original game, tweak it, and then release it to the program. Now they've stopped the program. At least we got time splitters 2 and future perfect, max payne series, f,e.a,r series, etc, for one last update to the program. What's crazy is that system link still works for these old games. You can hook up an original xbox to a series x and play games together.

@@Largentina. I liked the ambience some levels had like in plain rock you can hear people crying it was so creepy and isolating

I never played the original. I got this one after hearing so much good about the old. How could it have gone so wrong, now I have some idea.

Yeah such a cliffhanger 😭 !!!!!!

@@GGDizzy It's also amazing how well the original has aged. Every time footage from the old one is shown it looks great while the remake looks dull. And I say this as someone who has no nostalgic ties to the original.

Agreed

True they should just remaster the old game like they originally planned it cant be that hard to get the old assets sounded like they didnt even try too get em

@@TheMrfoxguy They just Remastered this botched remaster, if you'd like to try it. It looks better, I guess, but it's still awful. It feels like what should've originally released, but I guess it upgraded itself from a 3/10 to a 6/10

They actually were gonna plan a part 2 with the remake but because of all that happend it was just a pipe dream at this point like in 2003 also

The comic wasn't fully finished in 2003 the last album (without counting the "universe" albums about some characters and those not made by the original creator) was released in 2007.

You really don't want a sequel from this developer, look at Asterix and Obelix XXL 3

The Atari one would also have to double as an Infogrames video or otherwise be split, I'd think. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

veryyy cheap on steam sales might be worth wishlisting it

@@lolcat the original version

That would have required them to get all the assets of the original, which they didn't have, hence the work from the ground-up.

@@BombermanGold that I could understand, but the fact that they didn’t even try to replicate the cel shaded look is just not cool .

@@ratchetxtreme6591 I can forgive them for that. Remember their original plan was to just make a remaster and update it. They were suddenly stuck with a remake and were just trying to make a product that worked.

Do what we all do and just look up he last cutscene on youtube

Meanwhile, I had to beat him just by hiding behind the ladder, since he only shoots if he can see your head, unlike all the other bosses

A Wha Happun on Indivisible would be interesting too

that studio def. deserves it. Pppl think the first domino of Konami turning evil was w/ Kojima. Nope, Skullgirls got screwed by them first. And their history continues. They did get a happy ending at least.

Honestly, both need an episode, but Skullgirls' refusal to die despite everything and still succeeding is tailor made for this show. Hell, Matt has covered so many fighting games that I'm surprised that it doesn't have an episode yet.

They're still realising characters btw. Second Encore is coming

@@shinyagumon7015 yeah, I’m really excited to see Black Dahlia. Also curious who the unannounced characters will be. Likely a version of Marie will need to be playable at some point, and hopefully future seasons will be possible with more exposure and hype.

Worked for Cowboy Bebop. Lots of folks got steered into the original and ignored the remake. Win!

Oof, that was my first Ace Attorney too…

@Memes And Hoi It's not a bad game, not even the worst AA game imo, but it does have a rocky development cycle.

@@memesandhoi2924 It's a good game, man! It's just kind of a game where you can see the scars of a wonky development cycle.

Could probably do a What Happened on "Project Rap Rabbit" but it probably wouldn't have much to it. I personally love that game, great taste bro

I remember that one press release for the IRL Nuka Dark drink, where the company handling it announced a delay and that the reason was the bottle "not meeting Fallout standards". For the drink that was timed as a promotion for Fallout 76.

They're only sorry the game failed

Did you see the dude, offcourse he is the big spoon

It's a miracle that anything comes out of Microids if they've always been like that

Fortunately, the original can be purchased on Steam and GOG quite cheaply.

You'd be surprised just how much worse it can get. Go check out the development of the 3DO port of Doom and your mouth will be agape in horror at some of the things the CEO believed you could do.

I got it when they were giving it out for free for 48 hours. Loving it 😊

I wouldn't say that given their Asterix XXL remasters are also pretty broken compared to the originals and those had the benefit of their entire source code and assets being preserved yet still managed to mess them up somehow.

@@cabralanselmo5777 Only one I had problems with was XXL 3 where a glitch made it impossible to finish a level

The Asterix games are pretty bad and another case of absolute mismanagement. The XXL2 Remaster was done in five months with a prototype version of the original game, meaning lots of assets were missing and tons of bugs had to be fixed that had actually be ironed out in the 2004 release, all done by a tiny studio with no own graphics department. The result is a buggy game with terrible special effects and a bland UI, sold for no less than 100$ in a cheaply made collector's edition. Then, that same team worked on XXL3 with a budget not even nearly enough to create a game following the XXL formula. The whole game was a scam from the start, only having "XXL" in the title to make a quick buck from the nostalgia of old fans. Then, XXL1 Romastered happened, which seemed rather promising in the beginning, but ultimately failed due to a complete lack of knowledge in game design and hundreds of new bugs being added, even though this time they had the full source code of the perfectly working PS2 release! I still can't wrap my head around what happened there. Even though the game was QA tested, the devs either ignored or didn't have the time to fix the bugs reported. After all, they also had to work on the new Smurf game at the same time. The release version was a debacle, with music never looping, the combo system broken and visual glitches everywhere. At least for this game, they fixed the majority of bugs over the course of a year, but many glitches as well as awful design choices remain. Sorry for this long rant, this is just to show that this is a rather common thing with Microids.

Sadly microids ain't so innocent either they too havea history of cheap games and developing

@@Failentin Dude I knew there was something very wrong with the XXL remasters just from playing them but I didn't know just how cheap and awful the development was, holy crap, is there somewhere else I can actually read more about this? XXL 2 for all its jank and inferior graphics (they couldn't even scale the FMVs properly, they play in a tiny letterbox like it's a DOS game) at least wasn't all that buggy in my experience (game crashed on me only once) but 1 was an absolute trainwreck (game pre-patch had a memory leak so bad the already terrible framerate eventually went down to single digit) and 3 I could see from a mile away was a disgrace and of course like you said all sold for a ridiculously inflated price. Screw Microids
