    Sorry, I actually really disagree with the framing of this video as “games dying.” Most of these games are still fully playable, many of them on modern hardware. A game doesn’t die unless it’s online and the servers are shut down. There’s no need for endless refreshes of the same IPs year after year just to “keep the franchise alive.” Old games are still good - like you can still play and enjoy games made in 2000. Why is a game “killed” if it hasn’t been released in the last couple years?

    Absolute banger video as always man!
    I look back at some series that I wish we could have gotten more of and I'm a little sad but I suppose it's better than seeing them rushed out and their good name desecrated over some quick money. Personally I wish we could get another Red Faction and some more Ape Escape games and I guess a more recent example would have been more Evil Within as Tango just got shut down. Also I'm so glad you mentioned Billy Hatcher I thought that was a fever dream or Mandela Effect ngl.
    I think there's a fine line between remaking something to honor it or to bring back a franchise that people loved, and just doing it out of desperation and its hard to tell sometimes especially if it's something a lot of people hold dearly.

    • @removedm
      @removedm  5 днів тому +3

      Welp I’m glad I’m not the only one who was tripping off of Billy's existence lol 🍄 It’s definitely hard when something with such palpable potential is lost, so I feel you on that ~ The Evil Within getting shafted was a tough pill to swallow, especially considering how much we both liked the sequel and hey It might be cope on my end, but sometimes I think the best thing for a game is a peaceful end.

    • @removedm
      @removedm  2 дні тому +1

      100%, a graceful end is often the best outcome these games could hope for. It’s preferable to conclude on a high note rather than suffer the fate of franchises like Far Cry, Assassin’s Creed, or those from EA/Activision/etc. that are stretched thin for profit. Sometimes, it's better to be remembered fondly or even fade into obscurity than to be reduced to a shell of what made you great.

  • @kukukachu
    @kukukachu День тому +1

    Devil's advocate: It's a good thing that all these people lost their jobs as developers, because, as you can see with a lot of media coming out, they don't have the same kind of passion behind them as older media did. A great example is Left 4 Dead, vs Back 4 Blood.
    You have so many people in charge of things that either want to push their own message that they think is more important than an actually good game and good story, or, you have someone wanting to just ride off the success of those that came before them. Both are disgusting. Time and again, a company will use "from the creators of ____" and that's because they don't have any faith in their own product selling, unless, you know that this once great company is making this thing. It's not the same the team, it's not gonna be the same game. They raise an old franchise claiming that they're the same people that made what you loved, when in reality, they don't even really care about that franchise. They might claim they do, but they don't. The wrong developers and leaders have continually been in the wrong place and, and this massive layoff is mostly just those wrong people in charge getting flushed.
    Of course, more than likely, more wrong people will fill those now available roles, because both you the consumer as well as the company, don't learn their lesson... and the cycle will continue until that lesson is either taught to both the company and the consumer, or that business disappears due to screwing up too many times. Money really does talks, and money, is the new God, and though people say that boycotting doesn't do anything, that is because you are doing it indivually. When a collective does it, together, it does hurt the company. Those failures and layoffs are necessary to the health of gaming. Heck even the gaming culture that we've created and have been conditioned to, needs to die. Death is not the end, it's a whole new potential for beginning.

    My biggest issue with games now (apart from the wokeness) is that companies go for style over substance. Instead of playing a game, i have to sit through so much dialogue, follow npcs and sit through cutscenes, let me play the damn game, yes your game looks amazing

    We all only know about what we know. And, yes, overall you are right (for me). But, you also said that the Gravity Rush 2 was only with ps4 (true), but only the fans with Vitas could play the first game. Gravity Rush was remaked from Vita to the ps4, and I'm betting that more people played the remake. Especially since those of us who played it on the vita probably also played it on the ps4, such as myself. I think they decided well to put gr2 for the ps4. And Sony really had bad decides for the ps vita, which is sad.
    I love Gravity Rush and the Vita. Still to this day. Which makes me a little sad.

    • @orangeslash1667
      @orangeslash1667 20 годин тому +1

      Banjo was never met to continue. The original intention for Rare is to create an adventure game called Project Dream on the SNES, but it was moved to the N 64, it wasn't working for some reason. Mostly like because realistic games can be difficult to work on N 64, such as Golden Eye. So Project Dream became Banjo Kazooie.
      However now that the N 64 era has ended, Rare no longer needs the Banjo and Kazooie. Why, DK 64. People did not like the backtracking of that game, and while Banjo Tooie's backtracking isn't as bad. Rare might be worried that another Banjo game would suffer the same problems as DK 64 if not worse. It's sad but it's true, some of the greatest games exists because of hardware limitations.
      Thankfuly are Banjo like games such as Demon Turf Neon Splash, Hat in Time, and Tinykin.

  • @Unoriginal1deas
    @Unoriginal1deas 4 дні тому +1

    Don’t get me wrong I agree with the the premise but feel like a lot the examples here were grossly over simplified or completely fails to understand why these franchises died..
    Gravity rush 2
    That didn’t die because it wasn’t on the Vita, the vita by this point was a massive failure and everyone had written off, it was well dead, and the entire audience wasn’t on the vita because Sony ported the first game to the ps4 2 years before the launch of GR2. And the ps4 wasn’t shiny and new it had been out for 4 years by that point…… but I’ll agree the lack of marketing was probably the biggest cause of its death.
    Also the death of Japan studios was a goddamn tragedy.
    Little big planet died because LBP3 was the worst selling game of the series (likely because they failed to meaningfully innovate between games). And while we don’t have exact numbers for sack boys big adventure when it came to steam it barely sold more than 100k copies in the first month, so if console sales were comparable I wouldn’t be surprised If LBP was just a franchise with no audience left, and honestly seems like sackboy has been completely replaced by Astrobot as Sonys first party PlayStation platformer.
    Blood borne isn’t getting a sequel because PlayStation won’t let Miyazaki, they would kill for another console exclusive From Soft game dudes just been busy making other games that interest him and the studio more (Selkiro, elden ring, AC6)
    Watch dogs, I agree for the most part but Watch Dogs 2 despite being better in every way sold worse than the first game (likely due to reputation). Stuck between a bland first entry and an amazing second entry that sold worse they at least tried to experiment with the format and do something new with the 3rd (that unfortunately needed more time playtesting).
    And then Prey…. Don’t get me wrong I believe it’s the best game of the generation, but like the running theme we have here it was a massive sales flop, and this could be because of the confusing name, the lack of marketing, the niche genre, or the derivative art direction or unsatisfactory gunplay that turned off casuals.
    For the most part I agree with the video but I just kept thinking “technically yes but you’re missing some context.” And for what it’s worth your editing and presentation are impeccable and my nitpicks are only like 8% of an amazing video, can’t wait to see what else you make.

    • @removedm
      @removedm  3 дні тому +2

      *Firstly, thanks so much for watching-means the world to me.* When it comes to the scripting process, I usually end up with a few drafts that differ quite a bit from each other ~ early on, I decided I wanted this project to be more fun than anything else, painting a general picture of the games mentioned rather than diving deep into every detail. This did come at the cost of leaving out the nitty-gritty, as I aimed for a faster-paced approach when writing the final draft ~ saying what I needed to say in fewer words.
      I'll admit, the *'newly released PS4'* was an oversight ~ didn't catch that until you pointed it out lol _(smh there's always at least one error in each video)_ ~ And I totally acknowledge that the *'PSVita wasn’t exactly Sony's star child'* in the script/video. Regarding LBP, I kinda wanted to sing the games praise as that franchise means a lot to me, cutting *Sony, Media Molecule and Sumo Digital* some slack before closing it out as *'the perfect example of how most great games slowly fade away and die'* ~ I actually had sales data in an earlier draft but decided to cut it, thinking it might bore some viewers. So comments like yours are definitely beneficial for those wanting more *'lore,'* so to speak.
      My reasoning for taking this approach wasn’t out of laziness or negligence ~ I was experimenting, trying to create a more engaging video that contrasted with my last project, which really took a lot out of me. As a smaller creator, I sometimes take liberties, assuming no one will care or watch, but comments like yours remind me that people are in fact watching and that there’s always room to improve. *I genuinely appreciate your time, feedback, and kind words.* I hope to see you in the comments of another video down the road. Take care 🤍
