If a teen can pull off a scam not once, twice but something like 4 times? Yeah, idiots will fall for anything. Crypto games are for spectators and investors, not for people who play games.
Meanwhile, Grand Theft Auto 6's development cost is allegedly up to 2 billion USD and years of work. Meanwhile this "thing" magically appears from nowhere and pretends to be better than the multimillion-dollar game still in development... Mhmm yeah

Recently, there was a scandal in Russia with a game about tapping a Hamster!! It's very similar to this. The scandal ended with people wasting their time. It was aimed at teenagers. For people who still believe that if you poke at the screen, you can make money. We had a hard time getting rid of these scammers.
Tapping a hamster? I can go to Walmart and tap a rat IRL. Is humanity running out of ideas for video game concepts? Can we get games like Twisted Metal again?😢
@@venator-fb7yy It wasn't a game, it was a scam.

I was surprised it ended up being a real game I tested many chinese VR titles and they manage to have great ideas and features the beginning always look amazing and then it stops most just have the initial hook but nothing after sadly
Black Myth was a pleasant surprise, I had my doubts all the way up until release and didn't get it until I saw hands on gameplay from people I trusted and then finally tried it and enjoyed the hell out of it.
OMG!! I totally forgot about the Day Before! That was such a funny and crazy situation, still couldn't believe those guys had the balls to pull that off. I also can't believe how many people bought and played it too.
13:00 Minimum requirement i5 2400 - seriously no way LOL These guys definitely don't know how to scam people off, expecting us to believe UE5 game can run on 12+ year old CPU architecture, let alone using generative AI
Why are these practices legal and why do platforms like Steam allow these games to be posted and sold? Genuine question. It’s 2024, not 1998, it should be extremely easy to spot, expose and have these scam projects thanos snapped.
As soneone who was born in Russia I am quite amused to see Russia is becoming the place of the Nigerian princes of the gaming industry. The scam superpower lol
The female voice with a southern accent is from a text to speech bot. I hear it regularly on You Tube being used in narrating fan fiction stories. I suspect the rest of the voices are all text to speech bots as well.
Fun Fact: if you on ps5 head over to collections and head down to where it says Games to wishlist and there’s a game called City Paradise with a different developer called “Gaming Dev SRL” but it has all the same thing as Paradise game idk if it’s the same developer under a new Development Team name or Something
This game could never find the funding or talent to rival GTA6. 99% of AAA gaming companies out there, wouldn’t put up $1billion to attempt to compete with Rockstar. 😂 definitely either Chinese or Russian “devs”.
Robert Lee is the one making contact with the creators and is the real person or whom myself and others assume is an actor that is 'Robert Lee'. His avatar is on there as well! Great Video!
There was a game promotion video that surfaced years ago that I vaguely remember. It was shown in one of those "top upcoming games of xxxx year" compilation videos that have no effort to them. It was supposed to be a "real life" mmo, where you made a character, could get a job and make money, get a relationship..all like the Sims but had a more realistic look to it. It had a different name too, i think. This one might be a revamp of that game.
The speedometer is likely in kilometers and only the labeling was changed to mph... I can see It's A Gundam Billy making a squeaky laugh hearing "show me your boobs" like it's Beavis and Butthead...🤣
Weve heard of these "you can do EVERYTHING" type games for years,never even remember the names at this point but whenever its some insanely massive project that sounds unreal well thats because it probably is.
@@ChrisZukowski88 I dont think it is comparable to what the promises of these games were. These games stated you can do anything,if you want to start a business selling video games ya could,or be a game designer in game,or drive around being the garbage man,or fly to other countries as a merc or be in the military,be a movie star,just sit at home fucking around all day,if you can do it in real life its in the game type shit
How do people keep falling for this? If it looks too good to be true then it usually is. Proof in the pudding. Question everything because corporations lie to you. When I go to McDonald’s I don’t expect to get what I saw in a commercial…
This looks like those games that are on in the background of a TV show. Like those super generic looking ones that are never actually a real video game. Just a tech demo. I already feel bad for whoever buys this game thinking it’s going to be good.
Any games popped out of nowhere and then does big claims like gta rival blah blah is definitely a scam, I remember something like this before with another open world game who claims itself to be a "next gta"
“Calm down. We can find a solution together”. LITERALLY sounds like a Kitboga call with scammers asking for gift cards🤣 there’s no way this is a real game.
To be fair, when the first game with an AI dialogue system and 3D character models is released, I'm guessing "Show me your bewbs" is going to be the most asked question for quite a while...
This game is incredibly well polished. Just as majority of people thought the cybertruck wouldnt release and there were "tons of red flags" we all got the cybertruck. I can not wait for this release of Paradise as is will rival GTA6 and most likely be a better game than the majority think right now. I will be playing this game Day 1 of release, I can not wait. Just because Volvo and Ford both have tires on their cars doesn't mean they "stole" the idea of tires. These guru story tellers are wild
It's amazing to me that there are people so stupid that they don't know the difference between "then" and "than". Nothing destroys credibility of a company faster than having a web page with horrible grammar.
UE5 assets, AI voice dialogues, wooden animation, weirdly placed racism, puerile interactions, just nothing professional here. Basically "par" with expectations from "The Day Before".
HaHAAAA I saw this game on Steam and was like, for real this game is fake as hell. They're even claiming you can wander the Paradise world with popular streamers, activists and social creators. This game is so garbage and a pipe dream it's crazy. THANK YOU for letting me know I ain't the only one who thought of this.
If anything I learned from TDB, if there's a Lamborghini in the game, that's definitely those people from Fntastic because The Day Before also had a Lamborghini in their game trailer.
That scene at about 6:16 I believe is like a picture on Epic Games for their Unreal Engine, I remember seeing something close too it. It's not exactly like it but close.
Never buy a game that doesn’t show gameplay on their trailers. If it’s only cutscenes on their trailers, think twice about buying and DO RESEARCH. Too many people going blindly into AAA games. Very worried for GTa 6
There is no such thing as GTA 6 rival. Can't be. Physically not possible. Period. Full stop. No other studio has Rockstar money, talent and experience.
I know nobody noticed, and nobody’s gonna point it out, but the climbing mechanic, but they have for like vaulting up on stuff for this paradise game is literally cut and stolen from watchdogs too
Even for me, a person who does not know English perfectly, these dialogues seem bizarre. It reminded me of Bill Burr who said “nothing much braaad” in one of his performances.
Did no one else noticed the top of the gameplay said that the mission was supposed to be finding the mafia boss’s daughter and their last name was Vespucci as in Vespucci Beach as in GTA five
I mean... right in the beginning where it says "Paradise" its pretty clear its a shot from gta V (or at least its map) with some kind of graphics mod... you have the mazebank tower, the never ending construction site building, and so on, pretty sure if I'd start gta 5 up I could find the exact spot they used to shoot that entrance scene for the title
Considering the past experiences I've had, and seen, I don't even consider a game until I see legitimate gameplay. Usually, it's a money grab sh!t show and I dodge all the bullets. Stay vigilant, my friends.
things like this should immidiately be caught by law enforcing units responsible for scamming. But as we know it'll happen after the fact and after money poof away into ether.
There has only ever been one competitor to GTA it was called Saints Row, and even they pivoted to distance themselves from being compared to it. RIP 3rd Street Saints.

What do you mean, why not support an up and coming indie developer? The game looks promising! 🤤
I hope it is at least fun bad due to the "AI" part, probably being more stupid than me.
Finally someone found a way to combine unreal asset flips, crypto, and social media influencers! A true hell on earth.

These scams will never stop showing up because the devs know that they work.
It didn’t work last time. The Day Before got shut down immediately.

Great video, man. Appreciate you not only covering this game, but also shouting out myself and CYBER. This game truly is The Day Before 2.0...
You have GTA 6 Rival made with Unreal Engine and I have Damascus sword made with wood.
You should molten glass. Made by the "elves"
Are you saying unreal engine is wood and rockstar game engine is Damascus steel?
stupid ass take
Hey, is that sword for sell?
@@SilencedLamb69
Accurate.
When someone uses the words "we kindly", thats a chinese red flag...
As a southerner I hate that too, of course we typically say "Thank ya kindly"
" bless your hearts!"
would you kindly buy this game
Powerful phrase. Familiar phrase?
Chinese flag is red for a reason
List of companies and people ready to cease and desist them is really impressive. Only thing missing are pokemons and nintendo.
You have to be the dumbest person on earth if you thought a completely unknown company with no funding whatsoever could rival GTA6.
In the modern area, everything with high graphics should be avoided for at least a week post drop
a week try 6 months to one year if you want the best possible experience

For every Black Myth Wukong there are like 37 Paradises coming from China
Nearly all games from China are spyware. Even Wukong did it and it doesn't give you an option to turn it off like a lot of games have.
I was surprised it ended up being a real game I tested many chinese VR titles and they manage to have great ideas and features the beginning always look amazing and then it stops most just have the initial hook but nothing after sadly
Black Myth was a pleasant surprise, I had my doubts all the way up until release and didn't get it until I saw hands on gameplay from people I trusted and then finally tried it and enjoyed the hell out of it.
I went to their discord server and if you type scam in the general chat, it will be auto-deleted.
10:28 - black dude with a dog happens to be called "Franklin" uh huh...
Be far more convincing if his name was Dewanté
This feels like minecraft update trailer with the villagers singing and dancing vs actual game play with the mood dead asf lol.
Didn't The Day Before also pretend to be from another country, Singapore comes to mind.
Yes, I imagine it was to get around the Russian sanctions. Mind, I'm sympathetic to the Russian people, but scams like this should be embarrassing.
Gotta love how your car is barely moving while the speedometer shows around 100 mph
OMG!! I totally forgot about the Day Before! That was such a funny and crazy situation, still couldn't believe those guys had the balls to pull that off. I also can't believe how many people bought and played it too.
im glad you are covering it with a bigger platform we really don't need gamers getting scammed
the developer needs to be shut down permanently, and the owners need to be arrested because they are conartists
like the developers even existed with this one criminal enterprise
90 MPH? Maybe Marques is driving. I didn't see any school signs.

Currently, Steam is not allowing this game on its storefront, due to the crypto integration. Which is a good thing.

As soneone who was born in Russia I am quite amused to see Russia is becoming the place of the Nigerian princes of the gaming industry. The scam superpower lol
I mean, when your entire government is run like a mafia, it’s no wonder that swindling and scamming seeps into all facets of society
At 9 minutes or so, Ive heard that music on a number of YT channels, like those cheap voiceover reddit channels. Royalty free I suppose.
5:58 (just-uh-mingx) an Irish twitch streamer that's well known in the US, also well known in the "poggers" community.(also a drunk)
It doesn’t even remotely look like her either. At least Ninjas is actually fairly accurate
You said Irish twice.

At about 4:00, that sounds like a song called Busy Earnin' by Jungle. The possibility of using the same song by accident is astronomically low.
the way steam just changed their rules for publishers/studios wanting to launch on steam will make sure this "game" will never get to steam..

These "developers" are the exact types of guys that sends you a fake exe file in your email, that has a virus that steals your channel into it.
stop funding mmos on kickstarter, and if you are planning a mmorpg, dont try to use kickstarter, people are just gonna assume you're a scammer.
This game could never find the funding or talent to rival GTA6.
99% of AAA gaming companies out there, wouldn’t put up $1billion to attempt to compete with Rockstar. 😂 definitely either Chinese or Russian “devs”.
By the style, going for Russians. Watched Mitch Manix play a Russian dating walking sim/MMO, very similar vibes (" show me your boobs")
@@ChristmasLore "show me your boobs" is also kind of a well known vulgar joke-ish phrase in Russia, so it checks out.

Many creators jumped on this and called them out as soon as the trailer came out. I am glad its not sliding by like other projects in the past.
