@@asimhussain8716 just like this game, Nickelodeon fucked them over hard. They told them one season for Korra, so they didn't make an overarching story. Then they said four seasons. Then they leaked a whole season and cut budget. I agree, but Korra is alright for what we got. Except for Season 2. Wtf was season 2
It's one of those games you'd see in the bargain bin in a thrift store but I don't even think enough people could've possibly bought it to even get a physical version so sparing the children
It continues to amaze me how one of the most beloved, well written, almost perfect series in the western animation industry get some of the worst game adaptations under its belt
I'd say it's because this isn't how you'd adapt Avatar. I left a comment about it already, but I'll try summing it up. They can't take a show and make it a game. It won't work. The mediums are too different. Sure, you can take the plot and make it cutscenes, but the gameplay would screw with the pacing. Or just feel forced because of the fact that it's thrust into the middle of the plot. The only thing that actually matters. They have the world, the lore, the powers. They don't need to prey on nostalgia for an Avatar adaptation. They need to capture the spirit of Avatar, and they don't need the existing cast and characters for that. At the very least, they could make an original story better suited to having gameplay be such an important, prevalent part of it.
@@Stephen_Adegunthat would be way too much effort for Nickelodeon, creating a new story using the already established world. lmao. Would be nice though!
@@paulovinasrocha6166 really? Well I wouldn't know anyway. I just know that all of my friends (17 years old) know avatar so I thought the fanbase wasn't that old.
I worked a little in this game. The indie studio I was working for helped a bit and they worked pretty hard, trying to make the best of the deadline they gave (two months). Maybe Nickelodeon itself rushed things so much, this could be a decent nostalgic game if they didn't
@@jacobnicola5950 Nonono, I think that's impossible lol I don't know how long the original developers worked, but I'm pretty sure the deadline was crushing them if they needed additional help from other indie studios. We helped for two months
The art for the intro looks great, really reminiscent of the Avatar comics. But it's like they literally told the illustration team on the comics to learn animation in a week.

it blows my mind that they don't get just a random old asian dude, even that would sound better than these old white guys trying to do their terrible impressions.
I love that the first 5 seconds of a cutscene is enough to tell you the quality of the game. "fire" is just a spinning png that doesnt even spin smoothly
Dunno what you are talking about. I was fully invested in the incredible storytelling in this hentai porn flash game. Wait…it wasnt a free porn flash game? Sheittt
The gamecube one is honestly my favorite in terms of playing it but it tried cashing in too quickly with only going up to part of book 2. Weird original ideas and they pretty much foreshadowed those awful mechs in Korra.
I remember when I was younger I had a concept for an Avatar game. My game concept was they making a Avatar fighting game simulator to Legend of Zelda Hyrule Warriors where Team Avater beats up several fire Nation soldiers or a fighting game similar to Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm where different characters from Avatar's have different type moves, ultimate finishers etc.

I think the saddest thing about this is that if Nickelodeon really wanted to devote time and money to a genuinely good open world avatar game, it would probably be pretty sick. However, they probably didn’t want to give up any money before the Paramount+ era, and now they’re probably forced to hold back because while it’s certainly got its subscribers Paramount+ is surprised surprise not the Netflix they expected it to be, so we probably won’t be getting that anytime soon.
@@rcarfang2 That really isn't true. There are some anime games out there that can capture the feel of the show it's adapting. But because it's a game, most go the route of focusing on elements that will keep players' attention, the combat will be more of a priority than comedic moments and characters talking about things that aren't story specific.
>Unreal Engine Okay >Very first thing we see are tweened puppetted flat renders of the characters' ingame models awkwardly wiggling their limbs Aaaaahhhahahahahaha hhaaahahahahhahaaha ahahaha aaah aha ha, ah, haa...
Look at the Fire bender. They just fucked up rotating her all the way like someone didn't fully complete the rotation with their mouse so she stopped and started again. Holy shit, how is it this bad.
The fact the whole story arc of Aang is that he hates killing and will not kill anyone and then Charlie going “come on i wanna kill these guys” is funny to me
I just watched avatar for the first time a few weeks ago, a perfect series and one of the best shows I’ve had the pleasure of watching. haven’t even finished it yet and when I saw this was coming out I was so damn excited, then I saw what it looked like and how much it was and I couldn’t be angrier that the dev would spit on the franchise like this.
This is indeed very depressing. I don't even think the solution is all that difficult. - Don't have a single character people know and love. Let their legacies be unburdened by any potential catastrophe the game is - Give us an RPG. Some good old Xenogears-esque martial arts combo based combat. Since Avatar's magic system has martial arts baked into it, it would make perfect sense. Or an action RPG, because people hate turn based, I guess. Either way, anything party based. Even though I said "don't touch the original cast", doesn't mean you can't take advantage of the concept of a Team Avatar and have people from all around the world cooperating. - Don't touch the shows. Not just to keep them safe from whatever the hell this is. Because it's lazy. Korra made it canon that between Wan and the shows we know, there's 10,000 years of something. Do something with it. That's such a long stretch of time you can have a completely different world, with different nations, cultures, beliefs, everything. The idea of an Avatar existing and the bending would be the only real constants, if it was something set 5000 years ago. Get wacky. Get creative. Give people more content in this universe instead of just plastering characters they know and love into a blatant cash grab when they could just, I don't know, watch the show again.
What happened to games that tried? This looks like a mobile game, or could be off the PS2. Developers look at the FF7 Remake yeah it's not perfect, but it actually feels like they're trying to make it great, more like the past. I miss that time where developers put there all into pushing the hardware to it's limits, and trying to make the games as fun and as engaging as possible.
There is a UA-cam Channel Called Elca Gaming They Are Making a Fan-Made Last Airbender Game on Dreams(Remember Dreams? Yeah me Neither) But The Game Actually Looks Amazing, it's An Open World, They Even Got The Voice Actors from the Show. AND you can play as Momo so 10/10
Nickelodeon forces such a harsh deadline and charges almost full price and somehow expects it to do well. I mean, Charlie believes that them doing such a thing has literally no impact of sales, but I disagree.
They took out a lot of portions that wouldve been interesting gameplay and just told it to us instead. Like the portions of finding Aang in the iceberg, the portion of meeting the water tribe and earning their trust, all that stuff wouldve been good chances to add roaming segments or have playable story, but they skimmed over it. Even getting to the ship wouldve been the perfect place to introduce the peguine sledding, you know, where its supposed to be introduced
