    They say it’s a Dog eat Dog world out there, and from the drama we’ve seen in the video game industry over the past few years is to be believed, that’s certainly true. But rather than all the brouhaha journalists cause in the industry, what about the poor ol game developers?
    If it’s not poor reviews or terrible sales causing these poor guys to go out of business, it’s the commissioning publisher themselves totally destroying their operation with such insane reasons.
    So this episode, we take a look at these conniving commissioners, these double-crossing deans, and these asinine administrators, some of which you’d have so little faith in, You’d think the project was run by a certain infamous developer.

    Another one I would bring up is Sega screwing over Big Red Button.
    I'll explain what I know. Big Red Button was asked to create a Sonic game which was originally titled Sonic Synergy. It was designed to be on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. This was shown by them using a powerful engine known as the Cryengine. Everything seemed fine, but here's one major error that screwed up the whole game.
    Half way through the development of the game, it was announced that Sega was making a deal with Nintendo to put the next 3 Sonic games on the Wii U. The first being Sonic Lost World and then Mario & Sonic Olympics 2014. However, there was no third one in mind, and Big Red Button would later realize that their project had to be on the Wii U. The problem is that the game was not designed for the Wii U as Cryengine would have a difficult time working on that system. Big Red Button would have to put so much effort and work so many hours a day and 6 days a week. In order to make the game work on the system, they had to cut out so much content and downgrade the visuals. No matter how hard they try, they could never save their project from being the biggest disaster in Sonic's history. Getting called worse than Sonic 06, and just being a game everybody hates. All of this happened because Big Red Button didn't receive any proper communication from Sega until it was too late.
    Moral of the story: Communication between publishers & game developers is important. The Wii U should have been a more powerful system. And Sega is still retarded.

      SonicMaster Sword Both sonic team and Sega meddled in that game. Iizuka made the game be more returning stages and made them scrap the original story and made it a forces prequel. And Sega screwed over PC fans by delaying the game two weeks for "bug fixes" only for it to be revealed that they added denuvo behind the devs back and tried to shift the blame to Christian Whitehead and crew.
      They told no one about it and the customers couldn't refund because of the sonic 1 they gave as a consolation counted as the mania purchase which actually released after the refund time limit.
      Sega is a slimy company.

    The main problem it seems, stems from greed and lust for money, or starving publishers when boxed into a crunch to grow game sales will foolishly accept any and every deal that comes their way, and we all know what that means....(cough)(cough)(Peter Molyneux)(cough)(cough)

  • @KevinCow
    @KevinCow 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Unless you've talked about it in another video, I'm surprised Nintendo and Argonaut isn't in here. The short version:
    - Nintendo hired Argonaut to make the Super FX chip and 3 games exclusively for for Nintendo.
    - Started out fine, with Star Fox being their first game.
    - But their second game was Star Fox 2, which Nintendo cancelled despite it being finished because they thought it would interfere with the N64.
    - Argonaut got paid for making the game, but since part of their pay would've been based on sales, they didn't make as much as expected.
    - Nintendo later released the internally developed Star Fox 64, which used a number of ideas from Star Fox 2 without crediting Argonaut.
    - Meanwhile, Argonaut was stuck in a three game deal with Nintendo and wasn't allowed to go elsewhere until they made the final game or Nintendo decided to let them. But Nintendo wouldn't greenlight any of their pitches.
    - One pitch was a 3D Yoshi platformer, which Nintendo turned down, but then Mario 64 later had some suspiciously similar mechanics to their Yoshi pitch (which was later retooled into Croc).

    5 instances of the beta version of a game was completely different from the alpha.
    I'd really like to see that one, if you can manage it. I think Fable had some revisions before the beta, so Peter Molyneux will be relevant. You know, just to sweeten the deal.

  • @Clbull118
    @Clbull118 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hey Larry, if you plan to do a follow-up episode, here are a few ideas that I would have personally included on a list of publishers screwing developers:
    1. SEGA and SEGA Technical Institute - The development story of Sonic X-Treme is a textbook example of this.
    2. Electronic Arts and Slightly Mad Studios - A few days ago the CEO told journalists about how EA almost destroyed their company.
    3. Crytek, Crytek Frankfurt and their other unpaid studios - Alleged non-payment of wages that has been going on for months.
    4. SEGA and BigRedButton - Remember Sonic Boom and how terrible it was? A lot of that was due to SEGA suddenly springing upon the devs that they'd be developing a Wii U exclusive title after they had snapped up licenses to work with CryEngine.
    5. The9 and Red 5 Studios - This one would need more research to find out the full story. To explain the situation, ex-Blizzard devs create a new MMO called Firefall and are bought by a Chinese publisher. The CEO, Mark Kern, was then ousted in a shareholder revolt apparently because the other executives and The9 wanted 'WoW with guns' and in his absence the game gets screwed up even more with constant system redesigns. The Chinese game launch fails spectacularly resulting in layoffs, unpaid wages and a game being kept alive on fumes until it was cancelled earlier this year.
