@revaryk6868

The best example of a projected failure that became a succes I can think of is the very first Yakuza game on the PS2 (at least in Japan. Yakuza had a whole road of localization craziness to go through before Yakuza 0 came out to critical acclaim). It's a bit of a long story, but it's a goldmine of fascinating development trivia. Highlights include Sega not thinking the game would do well in Japan and turning down the project multiple times, an entire story rewrite, the taste of very expensive alcohol, and even more. Another good example would be Majora's Mask. It was all developed in one year- a time limit that typically leads to disaster in the modern game industry. As a result, most of the game used assets from Ocarina of Time (especially with most of the NPCs) and had a much shorter main story (with only four major dungeons). But thanks to unique mechanics (the masks, and the three day loop), a surreal and creepy atmosphere, and a lot of memorable sidequests and characters, the game's generally seen as one of the best in the series (depending on who you ask). Pretty sure a postive spin on Wha Happun would have to be named somewhat differently, as "wha happun" typically implies that the game is already bad.

Most of all, Final Fantasy XIV launched a disastrous mess, which damaged Square Enix's reputation so badly they approved an absurd plan to rebuild the whole game from the ground-up in the form of A Realm Reborn; the gambit paid off, and it's now the second most successful paid MMO behind WoW.

The greatest achievement of this game was it ironically being one of the only video games in history to get the Marines’ medical structure correctly. In the prologue a Marine is injured and they call out for their Corpsman! So many grounded and SciFi games get it so wrong and use the term medic. Historically Marines don’t have medics so they utilize Navy Hospital Corpsmen. Being one of these weird things, me and my homies playing this game in the middle of the desert jumped up “Yo! Someone actually knows us!” Felt poetic that one of the few times were acknowledged and the homework is done, it’s in a relatively obscure and/or terrible game 👌🏻

Surprised to see no mention of Jim Sterling and Randy Pitchford's personal hatred for him, as Jim still calls him out for lying to jim's face in an interview all these years late haha. Pitchford's a mess

13:20 Ah, yes, the Apple IIGS Woz Limited Edition (you can tell that's what it is because it has Woz's signature on the front). One of those was my family's first "real" computer. I wrote a lot of papers on it in high school and college.

dang, seems like for dev studios life cycle is as follows: 1. humble beginnings building portfolio 2. Strike gold with new IP 3. Take on big publisher deal, high profile AAA title 4. Mismanage resources during development while increasing spending on studio expansion 5. Do some cringey shit at E3 6. Get eaten alive by industry when the expensive AAA title flops, massive debt, talent leaves, get acquired and taken out to pasture. IMO, if the industry as a whole (i.e. not just devs, everything gaming) could be personified I would probably say it would be a "Man-Child" at worst

Should probably point out that the Aliens brand *in gaming* was fairly hot in the 2000s, as both the PC Aliens Vs Predator games had been successful critically *and* commercially. What they didn't have was cross-platform availability, so Sega probably saw an opportunity there.

Hey now, Section 8: Prejudice was awesome! I mean, the story was lukewarm garbage, but it had some of the most fun multiplayer I've ever played. Never tried the original though, so maybe I'm not the most qualified to defend it. Anyway, thanks for the insight into Randy's Finest Hour, Matt!

Didn't help that they shipped it with a typo in an important config file that pretty much neutered the enemy AI. That fuckup was only discovered by fans years after the game's launch.

This one game changed my entire perspective on video games. Before I was hyped by every trailer for games I was interested, would go and preorder the ones I really wanted, I Would even pay the stupid level prices for "collectors" editions. Then the this game came, my most favorite movie getting a video game, I was ecstatic. Went and got the collectors and all. Then I played the game...and it hurt me on some other level. I dont really care about games like I had before, I dont need to get them opening day, tend to wait a few weeks before I go and get em, haven't purchased a collector's edition since. The vocal teaser had more aliens soul than that entire game....

Well ya gotta give Aliens: Colonial Marines some credit as one thing it nailed to do and delivers perfectly is to crash our souls and shit on our sweet, nightmare filled childhood memories. And, well, thanks to this game at least you learned a right thing - you should never trust game/movie trailers...never.
