Justice League Heroes Wha Happun
Or
Marvel Rise of the Imperfects Wha Happun
Please please please
Sadly you are now obligated to talk about the first assassins creed came on Wuh Happen
I didn't even know about PoP3D LUL
when are you getting to shadow the hedgehog?
The Wha Happun series is so consistently entertaining, informative, and well made that it’s peak YT material for me. So well done!
What he said
Yes sir this is great, ever since I ran across this guy in my recommended vids I’ve been hooked. I also love fighting games and shitty games in general, so his fighting game series is also amazing.
Yes
Agreed
@@TemmiePlays I may be mistaken, but I think the title of this series is a reference to Fred Willard in the film "A Mighty Wind". He has a show on it called "Wha Happun!?"
Matt huffin on POP compium was not smth I expected to see today, I guess it’s just the style of the time.
BRO I WAS JUST LISTENING TO POP OST ! GOOD TIMING 👍
I'm from the year 2049. There are some rumours that the Sands of Time reboot may be shown this year by Mihoyo-Ubisoft (yes, they were bought, everything is gacha now), so I think you're safe for now, Matt.
Randy Orton being a verb is 😂
I love that prince of persia.
It got transformed to assassin creed and now it’s stuck in obscurity gulag
I don't know why and I've never played both games but Stayed Lights reminds me of Legacy of Kain! dunno if it was their intention
I got POP 3D when it was released, and I’m sure I’m the minority but I loved it. Especially with 3Dfx it was *chefs kiss* Also the soundtrack is a masterpiece and slaps hard.
Wha Happun to Contra Legacy of War?
I'm sure you've heard this before but that curtain close for ads is krisp!
Slapping Sub Zero's falling animation onto the cutscene at 16:14 is a wonderful callback and made me laugh out loud. Outstanding.
Here I am, decades later, still hoping for a new Prince of Persia game, that would be on par with Sands
Here I am, decades later, still hoping for a new Prince of Persia game...
They annouced a remake of sands of time
That Sands of Time remake is taking way too long.
@@WH250398hopefully they’re just trying to make it good! Worth taking your time, for Sands of Time 😅
@@WH250398 Well, after what was shown, we have to be thankful that it's taking so long, because they are reworking it from the ground up.
The cruel irony is that the first 2D PoP was one of the main inspirations for Tomb Raider.
The Sands of Time callback at the end was absolute perfection ❤
You gotta love how Matt foreshadows the likely inevitable What Happened episode on the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake! (Said episode likely won't exist until the Sands of Time remake gets out of development hell and is released or is straight up cancelled, but when/if it comes our way, what a thrilling experience for What Happened fans it will be!)
What happened to the fucking remake? Why is ubisoft taking ages?
What is the actual status of the SOT remake ?
@thegamingprozone1941 I think it's unofficially canceled bro 😔
@Rene Mejias Nah, don't say that. Is there any source?
@@bouncingbluesoul5270 Ubi Montreal have taken over the game, last confirmed November 2022 iirc
Prince of Persia 3D is an incredibly fascinating game to me, because it represents a literal adaptation from 2D to 3D. The dimension changed, but everything about gameplay and structure is identical to the originals. Meanwhile, Sands of Time did it the other way, straying far from the first two games while only carrying on their ideas. Only one turned into a good game.
@@admiralAlfonso9001 Sands of Time was the good one. 3D was... incredibly buggy and had rough controls.
Biggest proof? SoT had three sequels (Warrior Within, Two Thrones, and Forgotten Sands). 3D was forgotten, and SoT was the reboot.
Tomb raider is pretty much PoP in 3D as well, so is Ico and SoTC but they’re more of a cinematic platformers then 1:1 inspired by PoP like Tomb raider
@@shadiafifi54 bruh i almost start a long LONG rant about how warrior whithim and 2 thrones are equaly good as sand of time
Then you mention the sand of time as a trilogy
@@shadiafifi54 actually had more than 3 sequels. even multiple forgotten sandswere actually completely different games with different stories and gameplay.
@@Lazrael32
If I had fluid in my mouth I might have just done a spit take. THERE ARE OVER 3 SEQUELS TO PoP SANDS OF TIME. I've only ever played Forgotten Sands! I had thought Prince of Persia was finished. Wait so is Forgotten Sands actually the 3rd sequel?!
How about a What Happened for Dead Island 2? That was quite a story of development hell!
I'm guessing he's still waiting for enough time to pass as DI2's release was fairly recent and interesting news or interviews might pop up down the line.
@@aspirit9763like the other reply said Matt is probably waiting for more info on the development as right now there isn’t a ton of info on the games development due to it having just come out. Matt doesn’t care if it’s trending he cares about making sure he’s got all the facts in order.
@A Spirit It literally just came out. Would like to at least wait a month or more for official sales numbers to come in.
@@aspirit9763I don't think that's a big deciding factor for this show. If memory serves, Matt waited a few months after the release of WWE 2k20 to do an episode on it since he does research and hunt down relevant articles, on top of writing a script and other things, so it would still take time for him to get a video about DI2 out and even then it would likely be at the tail end of the games immediate relevancy in popular media
@@flophouseplays I'd love a Wha happened on Dead Island 2!
Duuuude, your videos. Even if it’s something I’ve never been interested in, like prince of Persia, I just know you’re gonna make it fun. The simpsons references. The editing. The writing. The voice delivery. Legit, videos like this will be preserved like the kinda stuff you see in a museum. Your content is really, really good.
Thanks so much!
LoL the prince falling into the abyss with Sub Zero🤣
A What Happened on Sonic 2 could be interesting. Yuji Naka quit after Sonic 1 and was convinced to come back by Mark Cerny. Was developed in America at STI with mostly Japanese staff with some tension with the American staff. Lots of cut content. Was originally gonna have a time travel plot! They had to get it out by November 1992
That basically exists already. Bumbles McFumbles recently did a movie length video on Yuji Naka's history, and he covers what happened with Sonic 2 during it.
@@MegaroverWell, not all of it, mainly the Yuji Naka parts of it, not really much about the game itself.
What Happened?: Yuji Naka’s own actual contribution to gaming.
I remember asking my mom to get this game when i was 10 yrs old after finding it at a random K-Mart for our COMPAQ/Win 98 computer. It ran so slow at times but i didnt care. I really enjoyed this game/music for what it was and that i actually beat it using the keyboard in a few months. A really fun time in my life as a child 🙏 🎮 💻
Ngl, I considered the Sands of Time remake cancelled until proven otherwise.
Sands of Time holds up insanely well. I completed the game for the first time about a year ago, and was genuinely blown away at how good the controls and leveldesign were. Graphically it looks beautiful for the time.
So true! I played it my 2nd time within the last year, and yeah it’s just an enjoyable game! Keeps ya moving forward, frequent save points and cutscenes / visions… it’s a sweet game!
The most bizarre idea I have for What Happened:
The Tinker Bell film series - What Happened?
Why the heck not
I was so hyped for this game i bought it day one. After a week I was begging EB Games to take it back lol
For real at this point you can do a What Happened on the Sands of Time Remake that is still a thing apperently.
@@Mankey619 Honestly, pretty sure even Ubisoft forgot of it.
Ubisoft realised that they handed it to an incompetent studio
"Motion capture provided by my little brother doing some sick eighties parkour." That is so incredibly fun and charming; makes me love POP even more.
I know you don’t really do anime, but I’d love to see a Wha Happun for Ex-Arm. Plus it’s so terrible it’d be a good laugh
You and uncle Derek fit this video game youtube niche that no one else does. No one else is really covering disaster stories and no one is doing what punching weight does either. Always impressed Matt. Thanks!
24 years later and Prince of Persia has a nice artistic charm to it, time flies
Those original 2D platformers still look great.

I'd love to see a What Happened episode on the Ultima series.
Might and Magic would be interesting as well.
I remember trying out the dreamcast version of this on gametab years ago. I couldn't get past the first level. Thankfully, Sands of Time was also on there.
Yeah, same. I didn't know what to do.
Lol I actually have a Big Box copy of this around here somewhere, that I grabbed from Goodwill.
I really like the way Matt describes the PlayStation numbers as “ballin’” pretty much any time he brings it up, for some reason it brings a goofy smile to my face.
Would love an episode on Prince of Persia 2008. Such an unfairly forgotten game.
I didn't even know there was a 3D Prince of Persia game that came out
before Sands of Time. That's rather interesting.
Matt actually a series of retrospective videos on the whole Prince of Persia franchise. They're like 8 videos, around 12 to 16 minutes each. You could give them a check.
If you want to see a full run of it I think that the Let's Play Archive has a video commentary playthrough that showcases what that engine did that was fresh at the time, the bugs it has, and some of its dev history though Matt does an amazing job covering that last one as usual.
I played it back in the day on PC. Somewhat enjoyed it too, but I never got near the end.
I had a CD-ROM as a child which contained the full versions of both 2D Prince of Persia games along with a playable demo of Riven, and a short featurette focusing on the making of Prince of Persia 3D, which I finally got to play when I was about 16 or so... I was so disappointed that I took it back the next day and exchanged it for a copy of Quake 2. The biggest issue for me with PoP3D was that it was basically a completely new story instead of solving the cliffhanger ending of PoP2, and it lacked the fast-paced action and fluid controls of the 2D games.
I'd love to see something about the "American McGee's Alice" series, especially now that the third game got forever shut down by EA
"Oh the learning company! you mean " *sees* 8:04- YESSSS!
I would love to see an episode on the Prince of Persia film.
A whole wha happun for the whole franchise would be great as well! As long as ubisoft owns the franchise its gonna be buried forever lol 😅😅
The good ol OreGONE Trail lol. Just a little jab. Love your videos. Always looking forward to the next one.
This is great gaming history content. Thanks for making it!
Just FYI- Oregon is pronounced like Organ with an extra syllable in it. Kind of like OR-ih-gan.
I point this out because it annoys the piss out of locals if you say oreaGONE.
What Happened? for Knights of the Old Republic II
I WILL NEVER STOP
The Prince of Persia has to be my most favorite franchises I actually beat The Sands of Sands, Warrior Within, Two Thrones and imo the most underrated game in the franchise Forgotten Sands the Wii edition all in the GameCube and Wii what a amazing series alongside the amazing puzzles and enemy design and can’t forget about the freaking Dahaka F the Dahaka
Time to do red fall lesss gooo!
Prince of Persia...oh boy, that's a series with quite a history
Honestly, I think Prince of Persia: Warrior Within deserves a What Happened just to explain the gigantic tone change. "I smolder with generic rage," as Penny Arcade put it.
I'm a little sick right now, spending the weekend in bed watching (or rather listening) to your Wha Happun and Worst Fighting Game videos on repeat. They're comfort content for me. Wondered why I hadn't watched this one before. Because it's a new release, of course. Thank you for all the hours of entertainment.
God, I miss getting sick and actually enjoying it to some degree. Easy done in education. When you work, there's always like 50 matters that you either have to take care of now no matter how shitty you feel or it will just be harder later and you won't even be able to relax while thinking about it.
A video in 2023 covering Prince of Persia 3D getting over 100k views is mind blowing. I played this all the time back in the day despite the flaws, and it has enjoyed obscurity for a long time. You making this video is the most attention this game has gotten in 20 years. But I love Prince of Persia, and I am thankful you decided to make this one.
For anyone wondering, this is harder than any Dark Souls. Beating this game as a kid without any guidance is a major feat that takes a lot of patience. Each level was a unique puzzle to solve within the 3D environment.
- Game did not always come with a manual. Commands had to be self-taught.
- There was no tutorial or hand-holding. Good luck.
- There was an inventory, and you better use accurate items at accurate times, lest you need to restart an entire level.
If you skip an important item sequence, you do not get a "Game Over", you simply get lost and have to rethink it through.
- First level is unapologetically difficult. I stuck my hand in the statue many times before figuring out to destroy the box, and then put a bracelet on. You are safe to assume from that point on that all mechanics will be unique to the level, and hard to figure out.
- I spent hours running in circles of a single map, before I saw a lever on the wall. It was almost invisible.
- You may easily miss ledges just because of the camera angle, or a different texture shade.
- The wonkiness of the movement & combat made it way harder, whilst it still remained true to the original PoP, which is a major +.
- The camera angles at specific time made it irritating to play with Bow & Arrow.
- You had to make each item count. Better not waste things.
- You had to make each kill count, and avoid detection for as long as possible.
- You had to be very aggressive against all enemies. If you catch one off-guard, you wanted to inflict as many slices as possible.
8:00 The Learning Company games were my jam growing up. Reader Rabbit makes me so nostalgic. That and Humongous Entertainment's Freddie Fish and Backyard Soccer.
Matt, I love you dude. You cover so many games in such a thorough way, it’s exactly what this platform was made for. ❤
You have the only ads I dont skip on TH-cam, I think it's really cool that you highlight new indie games, definitely checked out some games in the past because I'd seen them on this show.
Also since Homeworld showed up for a moment in this, I hope one day we'll get a what happened about Homeworld 3! Almost 20 years in the making, wild IP ownership hell, rescued by original developers who cared so much about it they recreated the team and made a really badass company in the process.
Man I’m so excited for Homeworld 3
I worked at a Staples in Phoenix, Arizona when this game was released. I was given a not-for-retail promotional copy by a software sales rep, and was really excited because $50 for a game back then was a lot of money. I played through the entire game and still have that disc.
PoP: Sands of Time . do a video on that next! or Warrior Within or The Two Thrones
this gives me hope for an eventual hour long Wha Happun episode for the Sands remake
I want a What Happened for the Altered Beast franchise?
First time I ever saw it, and footage of it, MANY years ago, i was like "The hell is this?!"
Anyway, this franchise was fonna make a comeback... And then we saw it, the world said "no", and now it's apart of yhe Forgotten Snads.
I'm a Prince of Persia nut but you can't just blast Sonic Adventure 2 music and expect me to pay attention when I'm too busy jamming out.
Earlier this week, I shopped at a GameStop where someone dropped off a box of games to be given out. Among them was a PC copy of this game. I think I may have Beetlejuiced this video into existence.
On another note, the controls in this game make the old Resident Evil games feel like Sunset Overdrive.
Matt's reaction to the likely inevitability of an episode on Sands of Time Remake is both hilarious and relatable at the same time.
I just want these games back, man.
Please do a what happened for “RedFall”
Can you do what happened with x men origins wolverine
Redfall next?
I remember being so excited for this when it was announced, my mom and I played the original a lot. They we heard it was bad and were very disappointed, didn't even buy it. Fortunately TSOT happened, still one of my favorite games.
Maybe someone already said it, but here's a bit of trivia: The 3d engine used for PoP 3D is the NetImmerse, evolving into Gamebryo in 2003. Yep, the same engine that powered Morrowind, then Oblivion, Fallout 3... Bethesda used it as a base for the Creation Engine, used in Skyrim, Fallout 4 and soon TES6 and Starfield. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamebryo
"That's not how this story goes, let me start over" - SSS+ tier Sands of Time reference
You give me power, give me reason...... Time only knows, Time only knows
I heard "Unceremonious BOOTY", don't judge me.
5:19 I love the Kingdom Hearts 1 Agrabah music choice 😂
what happend to the PS2 cult classic PRIMAL?
Due to recent news, I cannot wait for the what happened episode on Redfall. 👀
I like the use of Agrabah music from Kingdom Hearts lol
If you want a similar game for a future video that's set around the same time, but in a different country, try "Dragon's Lair 3D". It's also barely remembered by anyone
I wanna know wha happun to the Zone of the Enders franchise personally
Please do Redfall next!
this game is better than Sands of Time... 😤
windows version is easy to install and run in high resolution and frame rates.
Skippable cut scenes.
more varied and interesting locations,
art style,
music,
the atmosphere is just ozzing all over the place
a lot more creatures and monsters.
Translates the 2D games very well into 3D
love this game 😤
OOF
Man i miss mrgstar321 his mk/shinobi playthroughs are so dang funny
The SA2 music in the background of this is an absolute banger. Love the video!
Hey I’ve been curious about this game! Cool to see coverage on it…
And nice job adding all the footage for so many other games. Good stuff!
Deadass. How does this channel not have over a million subs? I’ve never watched better and enjoyable videos on TH-cam. Love this channel.
Redfall next?
Fun Fact: If you read Red Ord's name backwards, it reads Broder, as in Broderbund :DDD
Shouldn't it be Red Orb for that to work, not Red Ord ? 🤔
@@dftfire Sorry, I made a typo. Yes, it's "Orb", not "Ord" :p
I'll put a reminder to do Two Thrones/Kindred Blades in the future (doubt that same series will be done twice in the row). There's a lot of interesting things and misconceptions about that one.
The Last Express is a great game. Worth checking out for the time rewind mechanic.
A Persian invented algebra
*falls through the floor*
What Happened to Sonic Team? (all went hedgehog belly up and sporadic at best post Dreamcast) Mix in that other dev team with the similar named Team Sonic. Camelot.
Strayed lights is short, but beautiful child of pop2008, sekiro and asura's wrath
Wha Happun Ultima 9 anyone?
When will we get a What Happun? on Croc 2? That one had to be a roller coaster, and had a whole product placement vibe to it.
While I'd like to see it, is there that much to say? There was going to be an extra tribe (homeworld), and an underwater level in the Caveman Village got cut, but honestly the first Croc has far-more cut ideas and levels in the betas you can download for them
Arabian night types Music of POP3D is really amazing. I absolutely love it. Though the game is full of glitches and bugs and won't work properly on modern PC, i still try to play entire game ones or twice every year..... I wish if Ubisoft could revived POP3D with modern software and amazing realistic graphics keeping music and storyline same... that would be awesome.
Prince of Persia was my favorite game series as a kid. The trilogy is a masterpiece. The first game amazing, second game combat evolved and to me was my favorite story wise and then the final game yet with some issues was a great way to end the series. I can’t wait for the Remake and I’m happy they delayed it as it did look rough.
Potential contender for What Happened: I think the Legend of Legaia was a pretty good PS1 game, as far as turn based games JRPG games from that Era go, I really liked the combat system, it was fairly unique (Sidenote: I could be fairly blinded by nostalgia goggles). Anyways although I don't think the game was a huge failure (~1 million sold), I've heard that it was largely forgotten due to it launching after Final Fantasy 7 (~14 million I think), with that game scratching that itch better for many people at that time. The Legend of Legaia also had a sequel on the ps2 (~40k sold according to wikipedia) that was super different. When I played it, I didn't really recognize anything from the original besides a crappier version of the combat system I mentioned earlier (Kind of reminds me how dino crisis 3 just decided to change almost everything).
I know I don't have enough data here and havne't double checked sources, but it might be worth a look. I know a lot of work and research goes into making these sorts of videos, so I can understand if this suggestion wouldn't make the cut. I thought I'd mention it though, so you could take a look and decide for yourself.
The Sands of Time bit gave me a good laugh.
Hoping for the best regarding the upcoming game.
MIGHTY MILKY WAY!!! Love that soundtrack!! Excellent choice for bg music for the video!
How about Marvel Heroes, I mean Marvel Heroes 2015, I mean Marvel Heroes 2016, I mean Marvel Heroes Omega...some definite shenanagen-ary in that dev/release cycle.
