@@WimsicleStranger sometimes stereotypes are true. Group of Chinese publish a video game trailer? Don't believe it. Someone's calling with heavy Indian accent? Hang it up.
Funny enough according to Solo (Franklyn from GTA V), he did not know the game he was working on was GTA until a year into the project, they told him it was a game called PARADISE.
This is the pinnacle of video game scams. 1. "Rivals" currently big game 2. The most fake gameplay, but if its real, its "Day Before" quality gameplay 3. Sketchiest company 4. Crypto 5. Weird advertising 6. Pre made assets everywhere in the game The company def saw the Day Before, and instead of thinking "Hey we should try to avoid that", they thought "Hey we should also do that"
Sadly I don't think GTA 6 is going to be all that good, I think it's going to barely achieve some people's minimum expectations and result in most people going back to GTA online.
Im a UE5 indie dev. As soon as I saw the trailer, I noticed so many UE marketplace assetpacks mashed in everywhere. Using UE marketplace assets isnt nessessarily a bad thing, many developers use them even AAA studios. I use some in my projects too but very sparingly with 95% of the game still my own original creations. And even then, if I do use marketplace assets, I always modify/rework them heavily to fit my visions and purposes. But this scenario seems exactly like The Day Before, Just an assetflip with no original creations by the "devs", everything mashed in together with no creativity. The movement/locomotion is base ALS The water system looks like base Fluid Flux 2.0 The sky/weather system is base Ultra Dynamic Sky Vehicles from The Matrix demo The gas station props you already pointed out in the video And numerous architecture packs for buildings and streets And the characters are just the base metahumans. They arent even custom made metahuman face models its the exact base metahuman models (EDIT: Some seem to be custom made but theres quite a few that are just the base metahuman models made by epic)
Have you seen the minimum and recommended system requirements they've listed on their website & steam? Apparently 8GB of RAM and an RTX 2070 is recommended. Oh and 40GB of storage. The recommended AMD and Intel CPU's both appear to be released around 2012.
How dare you make fun of the fact that its poorly translated, they are trying their best to steal our money! haha in all seriousness i knew it was a scam when i checked the devs backgrounds and saw it was based in hong kong 😅
Also it's hilarious how the first telltale sign is that this studio no one has ever heard of just has this graphically masterful piece ready as their first large game, not one beta, not one random WiP screenshot Full unreal engine game done
All that aside, the trailer just looks bad It looks like one of those empty "unreal engine ultrarealism" videos made by a 19yo who doesnt know how gravity or basic lighting works. The environment looks like it's being lit from all sides, and loose belts just kinda take their sweet time and drag too much behind the player. The animations also look incredibly stiff and slow Everything about everything just looks wrong, almost as if they purchased preexisting stuff
@@amateur-madman3047 look at the minimap,they not only used the GTA5 art style or even the whole a## map of San Andreas,bur ALSO GTA 4 minimap style! (Unless it is different,it for now looks to similar to GTA 4 other than the health system being wrap around the minimap missing, oddly looks familiar)
By curiosity, why do you think this part is pre-rendered? Looks like it could be realtime on UE5 with some editing eventually. The part with all the NPC in the street tho... My PC would burn with such amount of metahumans in real time 😁
Out here doing the lords work. Was a pleasure helping on this! A little update for anyone wondering, Paradise (Ultra Games), have emailed me threatening to take me to court. I am sure Jetro will get the same email, but let's be honest, they won't do anything 😅 edit: I’ve posted a full video about it
to be fair, lots of good games have done this publicly, it's not THAT weird. but yeah idk. (what i mean is that, they've said in public interviews that they took inspiration from a certain game, etc, not the illegal way that this video explains Ultra Games did :D )
@@jamsandwichlol Rockstar Games has the money and time for it. You don't expect the same level of graphics from a studio that came from out of nowhere.
Imagine putting this much effort into launching a scam/pump and dump scheme, but still not being good enough to actually "open up for business". They spent god knows how long making this garbage and they didnt even make it past the starting line
not even 10 seconds in, i knew immediately from that "Porsche" in the start that was indeed from the matrix tech demo, this was going to be an asset flip.
I remember the good days when GTA rivals were actually something, like Saints Row. Now, we have this "game" claiming its going to rival GTA6 somehow, even though its hardly a game to start with. For shame, Ultra Games, for shame.
Honestly, I didn't mind 3 and 4, but the new Saints Row was the point of no return. If GTA6 becomes like the new SR, it's going to be the absolute demise of an era.
A game that is suppose to be a direct competitor to GTA6 having a T rating also raises red flags. There is no way the game can compete with a game like GTA if the game only has a T rating. Which tells me if this game does come out at all, it's likely going to be a completely different game.
How it is a scam? They have 0 downvotes on their videos, so it must be real deal! Jokes aside, youtube please bring back downvote counter. It helps to avoid shit like this scams.

that fact that The Day Before inspired a lot of scammers to start ripping off popular games (like GTA 6 for example) just to get a quick dime or a pump n dump, really shows the current state of gaming. Just because Ubisoft or other scam games can, does NOT mean you should.
Another reason why I don't really pay attention to what's new in gaming. I'm so happy to be a gamer that explores old games that I've never played/heard of. My future as a gamer is nice and peaceful.

I saw the trailer pop up in my recommendations a few times but never once clicked on it because just the thumbnail and title alone screamed "UE5 asset flip crypto scam" to me, glad to see I was 100% right. Crazy that in the short few years that crypto has been around in the mainstream this already happened so many times and these scammers are so unoriginal that you can spot this stuff at first glance, though I guess at least the "easy to spot" part is a good thing.
@@kaydog890 To say someone doesn't deserve money that they have "Earned" is a ridiculous statement. If you worked hard for your money you deserve it. Sure should we be more alert to scammers out here? Absolutely but people make mistakes bro.
I blame the people still buying Shark cards. A 2013 release with microtransactions for in-game currency that still consistently rank among the top 10 best-selling items on the PSN? That community-level foolishness is going to attract a lot of scammers touting crypto-powered knock-offs.
Lesson learned, If you want to be a good, maybe don't market yourself as a rival for anything. And just be a product. Imo that's why lunchly is failing, They market themselves as better than lunchables instead of just a TH-cam product.
I've been following GTA 6 news for a while now, and when I heard of this studio called Ultra Games based in HK (I've lived in HK for over 15 years now). I've never heard of the game company. I've been on Connaught Road multiple times during my life and I've passed the building shown in the video, never have I ever seen ANY indication of ANY game company that's located and operating there.
Think I'll just stay away from this game altogether. Who knows what coding they put in the game to steal other personal info and whatnot. Thanks for the video Jetro! Enjoyable watch as always. 😎
This game just appeared in the PS store under the name City Paradise. It says it's by GAMING DEV SRL. It only states release is 2026, and the description tagline under the title is as reads "rise through the ranks, Master the hustle, and shape your destiny in a city that"
Paradise made it to Playstation, the name is “City Paradise” and it says nothing about Ultra games it says the Developers is “GAMING DEV SRL” and it says Release:2026
the use of someone else's trademark is allowed in comparative advertising, so they are allowed to use the GTA 6 trademark to describe the nature of their product
Also, lots of games were advertised in the 90s by straight up insulting their competitors (nintendo and sega, crash bandicoot and mario, 40 winks and mario etc)
Bro I fr wishlisted this game on epic games after I founded it out randomly on the store,when I watched the trailer I was hyped up thinking that "what a trailer bro ain't no way they giving this for free".But when I saw the gameplay footage I was like "wtf this thing doesn't even beat saints row the reboot"I quickly removed it from my wishlist and carreid on with my scrolling and just after a few hours I see this video on my fyp😀👍
Just want to say thank you to you and everyone that helped you with this video. I saw this game when the trailer was first shown off and at first I thought, "wow" but then realized it was too good to be true and all the red flags started showing. I'm glad to see a guide like this showing in detail how far this goes, even further than it did back then. Now any time I want to tell people this game is a scam, I can trust this video will be all I need to show them why, it does all the research for them.
Ultra Games was a shell corporation and publishing label created in 1988 as a subsidiary of Konami of America, in an effort to get around Nintendo of America's strict licensing rules in place at the time for the North American market. One of these rules was that a third-party company could only publish up to five games per year for the Nintendo Entertainment System in the US
Please remember that assets are there for indie studios to make games faster and in more quality. All games that use assets are NOT asset flips if it was made well.
When you move the video down a little, it will do that. Every update youtube does brings another bug I've had a short not be clicked off fully to cause this also.
Another red flag is found in the system requirements: it says only 40 GB of hard disk space is required. There is no way a game that is supposed to rival GTA 6 would be that small. GTA 5 uses over 80 GB - GTA 6 will probably use at least 100 GB, maybe substantially more.
Great catch. Naw, I'm sure it is just that they're using some revolutionary new blockchain based hyper-compression algorithms developed by NASA? LOL... Right... I better shut up now or I'll end up giving them ideas...
As a Game Developer if i ever recieve a mail like that i would have laughed so much like i would have rolled on the floor laughing. Like buddy i myself create games so i know what type of Giant Rockstar truly is. And a random company saying they can rival Rockstar is like the biggest joke I've ever read. Fckin scammers lol...............
I don't know how the hell you guys could spot all those giveaways in the "trailer" especially the smaller ones like the Taxi Cab number, but seriously bravo 👏👏👏👏👏 I never would've noticed them.

Lesson learned, If you want to be a good, maybe don't market yourself as a rival for anything. And just be a product. Imo that's why lunchly is failing, They market themselves as better than lunchables instead of just a TH-cam product.
I've been following GTA 6 news for a while now, and when I heard of this studio called Ultra Games based in HK (I've lived in HK for over 15 years now). I've never heard of the game company.
I've been on Connaught Road multiple times during my life and I've passed the building shown in the video, never have I ever seen ANY indication of ANY game company that's located and operating there.
How do people get these scam games which idiots fill up thier bsbk details so easily without verifying
They took all the existing red flags and make some on they'r own. Share this guys, everyone need to know. Great job.

Was just about to comment that!
this video has 1 dislike... its the ultra games CEO
now its 3, its all the people who work at ultra games now
@@katyusha408 :D
Can't be a CEO of a company that doesn't exist.
Think I'll just stay away from this game altogether. Who knows what coding they put in the game to steal other personal info and whatnot. Thanks for the video Jetro! Enjoyable watch as always. 😎
@@ThatOneChick420 appreciate the tip as always! Thank you!
LoL I guess you don't got a safe security then if you think they'll get your info
This game just appeared in the PS store under the name City Paradise. It says it's by GAMING DEV SRL. It only states release is 2026, and the description tagline under the title is as reads "rise through the ranks, Master the hustle, and shape your destiny in a city that"
Exactly
anyone else remember in 2019 when a game called RAW had a kickstarter?
this looks WAY too familiar...
Yeah but at least this will release 😂
who is getting fooled by the trailer with the most obvious fake gameplay🤣
The lack of replies makes me think that there's A LOT who did get fooled... 🫤
@@Nate-bn5kk as soon as i saw the inconsistant driving physics which may have been nerdy
@@reedtkfilms7077 You'd be surprised with how many people are easily fooled by something that should be so obvious.
Me
i want an alternative to gta 6 to play in the future, sad that almost all of the projects are either crappy, or scams
The guy at the beginning wearing the kick hoodie was crazy
Pre sure it's supposed to be Ninja LMAOO
0:55 sounds like every other gaming company to me
Paradise made it to Playstation, the name is “City Paradise” and it says nothing about Ultra games it says the Developers is “GAMING DEV SRL” and it says Release:2026
Exactly 😂😂😂 that's what the heck am saying what if they was starting and made mistake then fixed it
The Day After looking real nice! Can't wait to check it out.
Imagine these would be the same guys that made Day Before 😂😂
the use of someone else's trademark is allowed in comparative advertising, so they are allowed to use the GTA 6 trademark to describe the nature of their product
Also, lots of games were advertised in the 90s by straight up insulting their competitors (nintendo and sega, crash bandicoot and mario, 40 winks and mario etc)
IBM had button pins that said "IBM beats your WANG" in reference to their competitor, WANG Computers, in the 80s.
In the us yes
Saints row 2 also did this with their "would you rather?" Trailer, poking fun at the mundane shit you could do in gta 4
Bro I fr wishlisted this game on epic games after I founded it out randomly on the store,when I watched the trailer I was hyped up thinking that "what a trailer bro ain't no way they giving this for free".But when I saw the gameplay footage I was like "wtf this thing doesn't even beat saints row the reboot"I quickly removed it from my wishlist and carreid on with my scrolling and just after a few hours I see this video on my fyp😀👍
Good move brother!
Anyone over the age of 12 should have immediately known this was a scam.
6:27 they done got yapdollar to play this character 🙏😭
The low System requirements shocked me lmaohaha 9:57
Just want to say thank you to you and everyone that helped you with this video. I saw this game when the trailer was first shown off and at first I thought, "wow" but then realized it was too good to be true and all the red flags started showing. I'm glad to see a guide like this showing in detail how far this goes, even further than it did back then. Now any time I want to tell people this game is a scam, I can trust this video will be all I need to show them why, it does all the research for them.
Ultra Games was a shell corporation and publishing label created in 1988 as a subsidiary of Konami of America, in an effort to get around Nintendo of America's strict licensing rules in place at the time for the North American market. One of these rules was that a third-party company could only publish up to five games per year for the Nintendo Entertainment System in the US
'Welcome to the paradise'? Is there a clue in the bad English there?
How can a company rival gta 6? It cost 2 billion dollars to make
No it didn’t
absolutely the day before 2.O
Just the fact that the company is based in Hong Kong should tell you that it is a clear scam
Nearly all triple A devs have studios in asia, how is that indicative of anything?
hey pal hate the CCP not the people they ain't done nothin to ya.

Please remember that assets are there for indie studios to make games faster and in more quality. All games that use assets are NOT asset flips if it was made well.
100% aggree. Except this is a company advertised as a AAA studio, and they confirmed in their QnA they reuse almost every part of their game.
Every game that says it rivals GTA, means that it's a scam, one is a multi billion $ company, the other is always a 1 person "company"
People should stop using word scam and start calling it legal fraud.
This video is an AMAZING detective work! So many evidences! Amazing work!
Anyone else's youtube videos just keep pausing itself, then youtube just freezes up? Tryna watch this video fr
When you move the video down a little, it will do that. Every update youtube does brings another bug
I've had a short not be clicked off fully to cause this also.
@dancearoundtheworld5360 I thought it was just me
@davidadkins3544 nope I've im on yt everyday, and right now the selected comment is flashing on my screen
Sometimes it freezes and then my app crashes (but doesn’t close so I have to close it)
Real ones👆🏻
Thought it was just me 😂
I recognize the free unreal engine thing called "advanced locomotion" in their trailer. i dont really remember it's been years since i've used ue4
I feel bad for the people who are believing this new scam game
This is the silver bullet gamers needed. Thank you Jetro!!!!!
No, thank you for your help with this bro
And if it was real, the TH-cam channel would not say paradise game and I think it would say ultra games limited
Stupid logic, WWE 2K's channel name is just that, not just the dev name.
I bet they didn't even licence busy earning
Protogen :p
Another red flag is found in the system requirements: it says only 40 GB of hard disk space is required. There is no way a game that is supposed to rival GTA 6 would be that small. GTA 5 uses over 80 GB - GTA 6 will probably use at least 100 GB, maybe substantially more.
Great catch. Naw, I'm sure it is just that they're using some revolutionary new blockchain based hyper-compression algorithms developed by NASA? LOL... Right... I better shut up now or I'll end up giving them ideas...
ultra games limited ghosted themselves from the internet after this lmao. I see no traces of em anymore
5:46, hey, thats the unreal engine mannequin default idle pose for a second there
Bro the whole walking is default
at 8:32 u can see palace from NFS with the fake golf gti and the fake m3 in the supposed 'car update'
the new paradise vehicles tab sumwhere on da page like 9:00 straight up just the need for speed unbound palace dlc cars cant make ts up😭😭😭
I noticed they are listing their game as T for Teens but a game that allows you to get real cash CANNOT IN HELL be classified T for Teens by the ESRB.
As a Game Developer if i ever recieve a mail like that i would have laughed so much like i would have rolled on the floor laughing. Like buddy i myself create games so i know what type of Giant Rockstar truly is. And a random company saying they can rival Rockstar is like the biggest joke I've ever read. Fckin scammers lol...............
Shoulda been pretty obvious something was up when it had the same cars from the matrix awakens tech demo
I never heard of that game but I heard it was good
the real competition is for the day before.
I don't know how the hell you guys could spot all those giveaways in the "trailer" especially the smaller ones like the Taxi Cab number, but seriously bravo 👏👏👏👏👏 I never would've noticed them.
Main character animations are stock Unreal Engine
This is giving "The Day Before" vibes 😐
I've just seen the comment on the video 🤣, one look is all it takes
“the 24 hours before”
