    Have you ever sat back and thought… Why do game developers spend years on a game, fully aware that it’s not very good? Well, sometimes developers do it entirely on purpose, even worse for really horrid reasons too! Guru Larry looks at five such examples.

    To be honest, I'm surprised MvC3 had as many characters as it did which Fox/Sony own the movie rights to.
    It ties into the main reason I just don't give a crap about Marvel these days: I don't really care about a majority of the characters Marvel 'kept' the movie rights for, and who they have the movie rights for basically dictates everything else. Actively trying to destroy franchises like X-men and Fantastic Four for the sake of movie rights, shit like MvC:Infinite missing a bunch of fan favourite and roster staple characters, forcing shit into the comic storylines in attempts to kill off interest, ceasing merchandise for those characters.
    "Fuck Wolverine, we've got a Doctor Strange movie out, you'll play as him instead. Now go buy a god damn Thor 2 movie ticket".
    I'm honestly stunned Spiderman has managed to stay relevant up until Marvel 'got him back'.

    I'm surprised Francois didn't try to sue Atari for unpaid wages. However, in the end it did work out, since karma tends to deal in irony. Soon after shipping their final title, "Fight for Life", Atari lost theirs.
    I recall another story about a game called "Spintires," where the developer placed a "time bomb" within the code of the game which would cause the game to stop functioning unless the developer was paid his due in order to fix it. This was due to non-payment by the company for work done by the developer. I archived an article covering the situation last year, for those who are curious.

  • @jdenm8
    @jdenm8 7 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    Last I checked, the ColecoVision launched with Donkey Kong in the box and Nintendo really dragged their feet on granting the rights. Primarily at Atari's behest since Atari was looking to add the Console rights to the PC rights they already had. The CV version of Donkey Kong did also come out at Retail on its own as well; boxed copies come up every so often on eBay. Also, the CV was more powerful than the 2600 and IntelliVision, but not really that much. The 2600 and IV ports were mostly gimped because Coleco wanted to use the minimum amount of ROM possible.
    Atari and Mattel did exactly the same things as well with their ports, it wasn't isolated to Coleco. IIRC, the Atarisoft version of Centipede for the CV is significantly worse than Coleco's own port of the very similar Slither. Mattel didn't even bother making cart shells for the CV and 2600, they just used an Intellivision cart shell with a very basic slot adapter glued to the bottom.
    If the CV wasn't any good, Sega wouldn't have basically lifted it, replaced the discontinued parts like the Graphics Chip, simplified the controller and sold it as the Master System. The systems are so close, most of the Master System emulators can properly run ColecoVision games if you load the ColecoVision BIOS into it.

    In games, it's often easier to disable the program's access to said content than it is to remove content. There's probably something in the old code that is required for something else, so rather than delete it and risk breaking something else, just disable access to things it's not using.

That's what got a lot of people datamining the game if I recall. I don't know why someone would be so dumb to claim that.

    When it comes to mvci in largely blaming the issues on Disney. I played the game at CEO and capcom did an absolutely fantastic job on the gameplay. Things such as the roster being lackluster I'm blaming Disney's influence on that.

      @NoahDaArk 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Contacting you from the future my friend… and it turns out Disney wasn’t actually to blame at all. The man you’re looking for is Ike Perlmutter, former head of Marvel Entertainment. *He* was the one responsible for the disowning of the Fantastic Four and X-Men, the disaster that became of Marvel Television, and he nearly ruined the MCU too if not for *Disney* of all people stepping in to stop him.
      So in a bizarre twist, The House of Mouse is actually not to blame for this. Weird isn’t it?

I got mine alongside GTX 1070, played it through once and never touched it again after that. I bought GTA V well before I got that and I still play GTA V. That tells you clearly, that WD2 was not a interesting game at all. Same can be said about Mafia III that I bought later last year from sales. Played it for one hour and then uninstalled it, as it was boring and bland as hell.

      Deals to share control of characters almost never end well. That's why we'll never get a new Roger Rabbit, why MC3 was pulled from shelves, and is the reason the Spider-man movie situation is such a mess.

    • @MegaHI32
      @MegaHI32 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      most of what Capcom does is make the games, the DMC anime was made by an anime company that owns the rights to it, the light novels were made by a company that makes light novels, and if there were a manga for it that would be made by a manga company, and if they were to make a live action story that would be yet a different company, as far as movies go its exactly the same way, you think Marvels legal situation is a huge mess, Capcom is relatively simple, they make a game with characters, then sell the rights of that character in any other form of media to dozens of different companies, thats why Death Notes manga is put out by Shonin Jump, the anime is produced by Madhouse, there are video games by Konami, and the new live action film will be made by Netflix

    From the core roster of MVCI, there are only FOUR new playable characters with the rest just returning characters from UMVC3 and SIX other new playable characters are behind PAID DLC. Gotta force them season pass, amirite?
    Not only that, they're excuse for not involving X-men are friggin' petty. It's a PR disaster, coupled with some "Pro players" trying so hard to convince everyone that there's NOTHING wrong with Chun Li's previous face. I bet you 100 bisonbux they won't change a thing if we hadn't stopped nagging them about all the wrong stuff we've seen. Yes, they fixed some of the face, I'm a bit glad, but they took notice only because their faces was one of the complaints that is very vocal, don't know if they fixed all the other problems.
    Don't get me wrong, it's a game I want to be good, but the only saving grace for it is the game mechanics and it's been overshadowed by corporate politics, shitty business practices, and god awful PR. I'm keeping my guard up until launch...

    • @Intothevoid-NIB

      And then there's Capcom saying stupid shit to justify the lack of X-Men, and while what Combofiend said is true for the competitive scene, it's still bullshit.
      Keep in mind, I don't think the lack of legacy characters is going to hurt the game too much in the long run. Fuck, a lot of the FGC thinks SF3 was the best Street Fighter, both competitive and casual players, so if people make the exception for SF3, why not MvCI.
      As for the Season Pass, I would much rather they have a Season Pass that gets me every character and all the DLC even if some of it is day one, than buy a Season Pass and get all the DLC characters except the pre-order bonus characters that everyone wants (Fuck Netherrealm (why do I need to pay extra on top of the season pass to get one of the best Superman villains ever? And why microtransactions?) and fuck Namco (especially Namco $25 only gets me 3 characters (no one asked for Geese Howard, by the way. We already have Akuma (also, if the rumors that the next DLC character is from Overwatch are true, I'm fucking done)) and some metallic skins? I don't even get Eliza? Fuck you)).

    It wasn't Taskmaster that got in MvC3 in lieu of the Fantastic Four. It was Super Skrull, whose main trait is encompassing all four of their powers. Originally, the Human Torch was in instead of him, but they apparently couldn't get the flame effects to work exactly right or something. It wasn't an early sign of the F4/X purge, either, because LEGO Marvel Super Heroes came out a couple years after MvC3 and featured tons of X-Men AND the Fantastic Four. (The sequel of which is coming this year and seems to suffer from similar limitations as Infinite due to said purge.)

      I believe MvC 1 and 2 (maybe just two?) had classic Mega Man as a playable character. I can't remember what of the games X has been in.

      I was hoping they'd do a reboot of Cold Fear as there's an easter egg of it in Watch Dogs.

      Yeah, I don’t know anyone who would gladly keep working without getting paid for their work. (I get paid crap at my job, but at least my job doesn’t withhold my paycheck for four months straight, I get paid bi-weekly. Though a couple months ago, there was one Friday where I didn’t get my paycheck. I was on vacation at the time with my family but was totally planning to raise hell if I didn’t get paid. Luckily, they caught their mistake before I could bring it to their attention - apparently, I was one of two employees who mistakenly didn’t get paid - and paid me the following Tuesday.)

    Taskmaster has nothing to do with the Fantastic Four - you meant Super-Skrull.

    • @whatname6076

      He said task master in lieu of fantastic 4 as in he knows they aren’t related but marvel claimed it was cheaper to use him rather than fantastic 4 but it was actually a legal issue

    "... Americans pretenting to be Scottish..." Christopher Lambert is French, so he's a Frenchman pretending to be Scottish. Same funny, different brand.
    "... and Scottsmen pretending to be Spaniards!" 'I'm not Spanish, I'm Egyptian!'
    "X released an unfinished build so they wouldn't have to pay the developer." Sounds like Soul Calibur 5... Though at least that one played well.
    "Thanks, Capcom! ... Crapcom." Fun fact: Monster Hunter Tri's online chat had a notoriously wonky profanity filter, but do you know what WASN'T blocked by it? 'Crapcom'.

    Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite isn't even out yet. What the fuck?

  • @NoahDaArk
    @NoahDaArk 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would like to bring something up in relation to Marvel VS Capcom Infinite: Disney were not the ones who demanded the removal of the Fantastic Four and X-Men characters.
    The villain you are looking for is a man named Ike Perlmutter, former CEO of Marvel Entertainment (the group that had the *actual* power to green light those inclusions). Perlmutter was a creatively bankrupt money grubber who was behind the disowning of The Fan Four and X-Man simply because it didn’t make them (read: him) any money. He also caused a lot of friction with Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios, as he kept interfering with the films and their stories (he’s the reason it took so long to get Black Panther and Captain Marvel in the MCU btw).
    In fact this meddling got so bad that he literally tried to have Iron Man removed from Civil War because he simply didn’t want to pay Robert Downey Jr to come back! That little scheme nearly destroyed the MCU if it wasn’t for Bob Iger stepping in, splitting Marvel Studios from Marvel Entertainment and then giving full control of both the studio and the MCU to Kevin Feige.
    So in a bizarre plot twist, Disney were not only *not* responsible for the meddling seen in MVC 3 and MvCI, but they were actually the *good guys* at the end of the day! Waddaya know?

    Hey, Larry! Watching this video in the middle of researching Final Fantasy V so that I can participate in the Four Job Fiesta charity was a nice way to spend this morning on my birthday, and the dumpster fires in the comments below didn't upset me because I'm pretty good at laughing that kind of shit off. Just wanted to say that you're still putting smiles on people's faces with your content, mate! Keep up the great work. ^_^

    Taskmaster? Pardon? Don't you mean Super Skrull? Because IIRC, that's the one character that uses the Fantastic Four powers in one single slot.

    Lots of companies use that second trick. Lots of PC games that are "fps throttled" are throttled because they don't want to make a "definite" version on any one console. It's bad for the industry to make any one version obviously superior to any other, but it's insulting to PC users who create machines dedicated to running these games smoothly. Ubisoft isn't the only one that does that.

    I think part of why shitty looking Capcom characters slipped through is that none of the Marvel character designs would get through without passing a Marvel committee approval so more time was spent on them.
