Nothing? Look at steam update history. Look at when EGS launched. See how many features steam added or improved only a few years after EGS. I don't understand how people can just straight out ignore that EGS is competition and competition is good no matter how much you hate the competitor.
Steam Family Link beta is goated rn. EGS doesn't come close to anything Steam offers in terms of service to gamers aside from free weekly games (which are cool but doesn't really make me want to use their platform aside from logging in once a week).
Yo. I'm happy you initially recognized publicly that you didn't know the word, took criticism well, adapted with it, then recognized your source. That's the true public callout in that story. 10/10
The worst part is that Shadow of Mordor/War pretty much took Rocksteady's combat system full hog. Same button to counter, a little glowing things about enemy heads for the timing, the exact same button combinations for instant kills... I didn't need much practice with the shadow games because i played so much Arkham Asylum and City.
Well at the time they had to take Rocksteady's system, cause WB owned the rights to it... to cover up the fact they stole Assassin's Creed system. An Assassin's Creed II developer (former Ubisoft at the time) saw an early build of the game and claimed that his code for character movement was plagerised or mimiced in its entirety, which included running, attack and even terrain assets to allow rope running and air assassinations... then it was complete radio silence from WB, until later flat-out denied it but only after they showed the newest version with the Rocksteady system and new body animations were used to replace the previous sets.
@@boxhead6177 still Shadow of Mordor/War was way better than any Assassins creed combat. Assassin's creed tried to rip off the Arkham style combat too but they made it boring. Assassin's creed wishes and of it's combat was even a quater of what Shadow of Mordor games are. They could have easily adopted Shadow of Mordor's style for fantasy Assassin's creed(which is great at stealth and combat) but instead they took only what was flashy(e.g. like Odyssey and Valhalla's teleport stealth strikes)

Epic Store vs Steam is like saying you want to compare s**t with chocolate. Years and years later and they still don't have a review system or other features Steam offers. They can hand out free games all they want and cut better deals than Valve, but they'll never be Steam.
Agreed. Ide honestly rather pay for a game to have it on steam then get it for free on epic, same goes for the year exclusives that only come to steam after the year is over. Would rather wait a year, then get it on epic. That's how petty i am when it comes to Epic and their trash store

I was actually interested when I first heard about Fortnight as a co-op horde shooter.

I had way more fun with Sleeping Dogs than I did with GTA 4 or 5. Sleeping Dogs is a better story, with better combat, with better DRIVING, in a more interesting location.
true, kinda weird how sometimes there's a game coming out that everyone just loves but yet you never see a sequel being made, then again it's also better to stop while being ahead instead of crashing to the wall at full speed.

Like buying studios and publishing rights to games to make them exclusive. Valve would never do that as it goes against Gabe's values. Epic games is a public company mainly owned by the CCP (Chinese government). Valve is a private company owned and run by Gabe Newell, his core values have always lined up with gamers. I'm very scared of the day he steps down, and I hope he can find a worthy successor.
Unity (the game engine company) has to be one of the most hated companies by F'ing over so many indie devs. Or at least their CEO, John Riccitiello, is one of the most disliked CEOs. (the "charge players a dollar per clip" guy)

But is that Bethesda talking... or Todd himself. I don't think this is Bethesda vs Obsidian, after all Bethesda is suppose to be part of the big XBox Family now.

You act like he's Phil Spencer who genuinely doesn't hate PlayStation and has said several times he has always loved their consoles, has owned every one they released, and strives to make Xbox be as good as PlayStation not out of wanting to beat them but out of respect for them.
@@Verchiel_Yeah, like, even Chris Avellone and Josh Sawyer debunked the stupid "Beth vs Obsidian" thing, so the lie still being perpetuated is kinda just... cringe.
I love these videos because I learn things about the creators of some of my favorite games but I was not expecting the brutality of “the poster child for failing upwards”. Falcon the sniper.
When I was a school kid (some time ago) it was the ZX Spectrum owners Vs the Commodore 64 owners. A bitter rivalry. I think the C64 owners were the pre-PC Masterrace people.
3:25 this is funny because when i needed to install a game on stream, the game made me install an epic game software, that software was like "put an ID and password to log" kinda thing, and even than, surprising no one, the game still didn't work
Let's be honest here, the whole fee had NOTHING to do with why Sweeney started the epic store. This whole thing was just some super petty thing because the guy had some kind of personal problem with steam(maybe they had the nice office? They are in the same building) and probably some super big ego going because Fortnite makes way too much money. And one thing people tend to forget is that Epic already gets their money by licensing their engine, you know Unreal, pretty much one of the biggest engines out there. they don't NEED to get the 30% because developers already paid them before the game was even released.
Convenience mostly. GOG is the only other storefront that directly competes with Steam and it's mostly for the same reason why people prefer steam over EPIC. People just don't want to deal with several launchers (it's bad enough I'm forced to use 3), just have everything all on one platform. GOG is the exception because you don't need the store front to launch games because it's 100% DRM free, it's purely something you use to purchase said games. It's also WAY more user friendly than EPIC. EPIC has the potential to go head to head with steam and there are some things that epic does better than Steam but the cons vastly outweigh the pro and until they actually do something about that makes people take notice, they will continue to use steam.
The sequel titled "True Crime: New York City" in my opinion was much better than True Crime: Streets Of LA. True Crime: New York City is one of my favorite old school games. And it was really good to see Sleeping Dogs get a mention. I just feel that game is so underrated and deserves more praise and recognition than it gets. So thank you for giving it a mention. 👍 Wei would be proud.
Just wondering if you guys will do a video like "10 game companies that gamers love" and the reasons why. I think it'll help expose smaller companies that have great games
18:02 yeah you’re not wrong, the best thing done to a fallout game was the ammo crafting, that said fallout 76 is like a prime example of what kinds of features need to be in a main fallout game.. and a prime example of what features need to be left in an online game. I want to craft, and I like the camp building, I don’t like always needing to be online or paying to not be.
What I love about Fortnite is that Save the World is kinda like the prologue to the story of the Battle Royale mode. Everything in Save the World is still canon to the story of Fortnite and happened before all this got started. They could have easily scrapped it and said "Nah, that's been retconned."
The Nintendo backstabbing of 91 is always an interesting story, them literally creating a monster. Nintendo must’ve felt like fools especially after the Philips failure and the complete domination of PlayStation for 2 generations, the entirety of 2000’s. There’s so many iconic PS games we probably wouldn’t have gotten if Nintendo didn’t backstab Sony.
@@dansmith1661 Haven't people already figured it was a copyright troll? Like why wait 20 years to pull the trigger, or issue the takedown through an email company they never used before from Denmark when they have two legal emails of their own
Fun note, Streets of LA. I was at the house of one of the artists on the game and his wife told me that their house (asian inspired) was the only house in the game you can run into and is fully rendered. I never checked or tested this.
What's even worse is when companies don't care about their IP's (recently SEGA announced that Hatsune Miku Project DIVA is done for good thy disbanded the development team so it's very unlikely we will be getting more from the series, annoying that they focus on Project Sekai more when it is the lesser game) and just in case they delist Project DIVA Mega Mix and Future Tone, i imported physical copies for them both, i'm not about to lose those games in the all digital future :(
2:27 that’s not true or the key separating factor. It’s price and release schedule if the consoles. It’s been found through various surveys and such that most ps5 owners also have a switch
Fun Video, agree with a lot of the points I liked the true crime and driver series, they were kind of their own thing and should have leaned more into their roles, true crime being a cop set in a open world with cool fighting/shooting mechanics ) and driver being more focused on really good driving mechanics and interesting vehicle choices. but at the end of the day money talks and Rockstar nailed their series out of the park.
12:15 he did say that to the investors so they don't jump of the project. It never should come out to public that he say gonna be AAAA game. Plane was only for the hears of the investors.😊
9:43 The copyright of a software function IMHO should not be allowed. I'm a software developer (business not games) and I think this goes for most IP as well. As in that ideas are never original and are definitely not proprietary. Since every idea you have someone else has already had that idea before or that your idea will be largely based on a pre-existing concept or idea that someone else has had. Your ideas are a product of your environment and your teaching. Generally you observe something or are told something that gives you an idea. On the other hand how you implement that idea can and probably should be proprietary and copyrightable. Concept Vs Practically Implementation. Unfortunately there are many examples in software where concepts or ideas are so basic they are clearly not original. Such as raster scanning, or one click purchasing. Yet are considered to be implementation of a concept aka algorithm and have been classed as IP. I think definitely with software where the barrier to entry is so low and the up front costs of inventing or creating an implementation of an idea is minimal then IP just stifles creativity. It's primarily used as a way to control competition.
A lot of people forget that PUBG is the OG battle royal. The crator first made a mod for arma 3 that brought battle royal. From there he created PUBG. Please correct me if I'm wrong. But honestly, arma mods spawned games like DayZ and PUBG. The modding community is the true hero in gaming.
My steam account was created 3 days after steam released to the public. Steam was viewed as a PITA to the CS community but they really did it justice and that was one of the best times I ever had in my life.
I’ve lived 30 odd years in between Dundee and Newcastle in a little place called Edinburgh, and I can’t say I’ve ever heard of a rivalry between those two cities… 🤔
The reason the epic games store can't topple steam is because steam has exposure, and a standing, loyal fanbase. If they can figure out how to pass games down to family members, then we'll really be talking.
Hey so 9:00 you made a slight problem. Save the World in Fortnite is currently in new development and we are getting updates. They are slow but we are getting them.
I've owned both Sony and Nintendo consoles together since the PS1 launched in 1995. I've never come home to find the two electronic boxes duking it out in my living room. They're just sitting on their shelves, waiting for me to play the incredible games that are available for each platform.
You absolutely finished this beautifully - exceptional. 😭😭😭 OMG I HAVE TO GO BACK AND WATCH THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN... had no idea topic material (thought some government lake conspiracy with a lab underneath or something) had no idea topic material (thought some government lake conspiracy with a lab underneath or something)
Tim Sweeny being bamboozleled that steam takes 30% cut and still wins while doing absolutely nothing to improve epic store front is just such a laugh, he doesn't want to compete he just wants everyone else to fail
It's always interesting how everyone has developed amnesia about how Rockstar STOLE its GTA "formula" from SEGA's game creator Yu Suzuki's original Shenmue. Before Shenmue, GTA was simply a top down game with GTA 2. Rockstar's GTA 3 was a rip off of HIS formula. BEFORE Shennue, there was NO game featuring the entering of multiple buildings, dynamic weather, day and night cycles, NPCs having their own schedule, businesses in games having business hours, QTEs! ALL of Rockstar's "formula" was STOLEN from the mind of Yu Suzuki and Shenmue!
I think the nemesis system being copyrighted worked only as an exception since, as far as I'm aware, no other game was doing anything even remotely close to that anyway. If anyone were to have any plans for a nemesis system it would just be other AAA games, which they already weren't doing. It's not like it snuffed out any indie projects either. I think that's the only reason the copyright was allowed.
Of all the games that leeched off each other for decades, brown/gray everything, regen health, bleeding eyes vision... It had to be a great system everyone wants more of.
Konami vs Capcom in the early 90s will always be my favorite... both sides cranking out left and right

@@Verchiel_Yeah, like, even Chris Avellone and Josh Sawyer debunked the stupid "Beth vs Obsidian" thing, so the lie still being perpetuated is kinda just... cringe.
Way to capitalize on the Drake beef! Awesome video
Epic Games thinks they're him
Theyre not that guy
Man I truly hate the epic app. I don't understand how it can be so bloated and terrible.
I love these videos because I learn things about the creators of some of my favorite games but I was not expecting the brutality of “the poster child for failing upwards”. Falcon the sniper.
When I was a school kid (some time ago) it was the ZX Spectrum owners Vs the Commodore 64 owners. A bitter rivalry. I think the C64 owners were the pre-PC Masterrace people.
3:25 this is funny because when i needed to install a game on stream, the game made me install an epic game software, that software was like "put an ID and password to log" kinda thing, and even than, surprising no one, the game still didn't work
Companies I hate because they hate their own customers : Rockstar, Nintendo, TakeTwo, Activision, Konami, Blizzard and EA...
I love Rockstars games but I really hate how they treat PC gamers.. They literally treat us all like we are scum😅
did not know alot of this
Thank you !
Can you make a part 2?
I feel Bethesda hates sibling Obsidian because everybody loves New Vegas the most.
Real simple answer to that though: Most games from Obsidian actually "do just work" 😂
@@TTRPG_Witch_Leonlol 😅😂
That and Obsidian actually puts the RP into their G. The last time Bethesda made a legitimate Roleplaying Game was Oblivion and it literally shows.
Never thought I'd hear falcon say dundee feels special
Make love, not hate ❤️
companies hate each other until they can merge with each other to pursue their real dream: being a monopoly
Kinda weird though how steam takes a way bigger percentage but people more often choose steam over epic makes you wonder
Let's be honest here, the whole fee had NOTHING to do with why Sweeney started the epic store. This whole thing was just some super petty thing because the guy had some kind of personal problem with steam(maybe they had the nice office? They are in the same building) and probably some super big ego going because Fortnite makes way too much money. And one thing people tend to forget is that Epic already gets their money by licensing their engine, you know Unreal, pretty much one of the biggest engines out there.
they don't NEED to get the 30% because developers already paid them before the game was even released.
They really want episode 3 to be released.
Convenience mostly. GOG is the only other storefront that directly competes with Steam and it's mostly for the same reason why people prefer steam over EPIC. People just don't want to deal with several launchers (it's bad enough I'm forced to use 3), just have everything all on one platform. GOG is the exception because you don't need the store front to launch games because it's 100% DRM free, it's purely something you use to purchase said games.
It's also WAY more user friendly than EPIC. EPIC has the potential to go head to head with steam and there are some things that epic does better than Steam but the cons vastly outweigh the pro and until they actually do something about that makes people take notice, they will continue to use steam.
First to market.
@@bronzin1445 GoG is also the exception because they're targeting the older gamer and games. Steams not really doing that.
The sequel titled "True Crime: New York City" in my opinion was much better than True Crime: Streets Of LA. True Crime: New York City is one of my favorite old school games. And it was really good to see Sleeping Dogs get a mention. I just feel that game is so underrated and deserves more praise and recognition than it gets.
So thank you for giving it a mention. 👍
Wei would be proud.
“Babe wake up! New Falcon gameranx vid just dropped!”
10 pairs of games companies…
For how many great videos these guys put out, a miswording is easily forgiven. 🤙🏼
Just wondering if you guys will do a video like "10 game companies that gamers love" and the reasons why. I think it'll help expose smaller companies that have great games
18:02 yeah you’re not wrong, the best thing done to a fallout game was the ammo crafting, that said fallout 76 is like a prime example of what kinds of features need to be in a main fallout game.. and a prime example of what features need to be left in an online game. I want to craft, and I like the camp building, I don’t like always needing to be online or paying to not be.
Christopher Judge (if he were a company) and Activision 😂
That was a game awards highlight lmao
What I love about Fortnite is that Save the World is kinda like the prologue to the story of the Battle Royale mode. Everything in Save the World is still canon to the story of Fortnite and happened before all this got started. They could have easily scrapped it and said "Nah, that's been retconned."
The Nintendo backstabbing of 91 is always an interesting story, them literally creating a monster. Nintendo must’ve felt like fools especially after the Philips failure and the complete domination of PlayStation for 2 generations, the entirety of 2000’s. There’s so many iconic PS games we probably wouldn’t have gotten if Nintendo didn’t backstab Sony.
Nintendo never learns and they are extremely petty. Give me back the Garry's Mods mods.
@@dansmith1661 Haven't people already figured it was a copyright troll? Like why wait 20 years to pull the trigger, or issue the takedown through an email company they never used before from Denmark when they have two legal emails of their own
Other way around champ, go read the actual history of this instead of this skewed bs "sony did nothing wrong" as it is every time.
Fun note, Streets of LA. I was at the house of one of the artists on the game and his wife told me that their house (asian inspired) was the only house in the game you can run into and is fully rendered. I never checked or tested this.
What's even worse is when companies don't care about their IP's (recently SEGA announced that Hatsune Miku Project DIVA is done for good thy disbanded the development team so it's very unlikely we will be getting more from the series, annoying that they focus on Project Sekai more when it is the lesser game) and just in case they delist Project DIVA Mega Mix and Future Tone, i imported physical copies for them both, i'm not about to lose those games in the all digital future :(
Always happy to see Dundee get a name check. For a city of just under 150k people we did some great things in the video game world! ❤
tim sweeney is almost the sole reason not to buy with epic store...
2:27 that’s not true or the key separating factor. It’s price and release schedule if the consoles. It’s been found through various surveys and such that most ps5 owners also have a switch
Fun Video, agree with a lot of the points
I liked the true crime and driver series, they were kind of their own thing and should have leaned more into their roles, true crime being a cop set in a open world with cool fighting/shooting mechanics ) and driver being more focused on really good driving mechanics and interesting vehicle choices. but at the end of the day money talks and Rockstar nailed their series out of the park.
Epic: "WE SHALL OVERTAKE VALVE, LETS DO THISSSSS. WOOOOOOOOOOO"
Valve: "Huh? Who are you?"
12:15 he did say that to the investors so they don't jump of the project.
It never should come out to public that he say gonna be AAAA game.
Plane was only for the hears of the investors.😊
7:32 Streets of LA was campy fun. I loved it and wish it managed to continue. Especially after Sleeping Dogs
9:43 The copyright of a software function IMHO should not be allowed. I'm a software developer (business not games) and I think this goes for most IP as well. As in that ideas are never original and are definitely not proprietary. Since every idea you have someone else has already had that idea before or that your idea will be largely based on a pre-existing concept or idea that someone else has had. Your ideas are a product of your environment and your teaching. Generally you observe something or are told something that gives you an idea.
On the other hand how you implement that idea can and probably should be proprietary and copyrightable. Concept Vs Practically Implementation.
Unfortunately there are many examples in software where concepts or ideas are so basic they are clearly not original. Such as raster scanning, or one click purchasing. Yet are considered to be implementation of a concept aka algorithm and have been classed as IP.
I think definitely with software where the barrier to entry is so low and the up front costs of inventing or creating an implementation of an idea is minimal then IP just stifles creativity. It's primarily used as a way to control competition.
Nemesis system wasn't copyright'd, it was patented, which means it covers the concept, not the code.
I remember alot of those games and now seeing they had alot of meaning behind them is crazy.
Nemesis system is patented not copyrighted and is absolutely enforceable.
It’s not the code but the concept itself that is protected by the patent.
A lot of people forget that PUBG is the OG battle royal. The crator first made a mod for arma 3 that brought battle royal. From there he created PUBG.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. But honestly, arma mods spawned games like DayZ and PUBG. The modding community is the true hero in gaming.
I loved True Crime Streets of LA. One of my favorites 8:24
Real gamers know battle royals started way back with arma king of the hill
My steam account was created 3 days after steam released to the public. Steam was viewed as a PITA to the CS community but they really did it justice and that was one of the best times I ever had in my life.
Im still salty about tne nemesis system. One of the best things to come out of games in the last decade
I’ve lived 30 odd years in between Dundee and Newcastle in a little place called Edinburgh, and I can’t say I’ve ever heard of a rivalry between those two cities… 🤔
The reason the epic games store can't topple steam is because steam has exposure, and a standing, loyal fanbase. If they can figure out how to pass games down to family members, then we'll really be talking.
Hey so 9:00 you made a slight problem. Save the World in Fortnite is currently in new development and we are getting updates. They are slow but we are getting them.
Awesome video
Missed out on the 3D Realms vs Gearbox situation with Duke Nukem. Randy...
I've owned both Sony and Nintendo consoles together since the PS1 launched in 1995. I've never come home to find the two electronic boxes duking it out in my living room. They're just sitting on their shelves, waiting for me to play the incredible games that are available for each platform.
"Ps5 is for the hardcores" is probably the most Falcon thing I've ever heard Falcon say...
You absolutely finished this beautifully - exceptional.
😭😭😭 OMG I HAVE TO GO BACK AND WATCH THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN...
had no idea topic material (thought some government lake conspiracy with a lab underneath or something)

Origin vs Electronc Arts. This is THE hatred.
Tim Sweeny being bamboozleled that steam takes 30% cut and still wins while doing absolutely nothing to improve epic store front is just such a laugh, he doesn't want to compete he just wants everyone else to fail
One hit wonder. Fortnite being a smash hit is the only reason the epic store even exists. And it’s shite. Valve till I drop dead
It's always interesting how everyone has developed amnesia about how Rockstar STOLE its GTA "formula" from SEGA's game creator Yu Suzuki's original Shenmue. Before Shenmue, GTA was simply a top down game with GTA 2. Rockstar's GTA 3 was a rip off of HIS formula. BEFORE Shennue, there was NO game featuring the entering of multiple buildings, dynamic weather, day and night cycles, NPCs having their own schedule, businesses in games having business hours, QTEs! ALL of Rockstar's "formula" was STOLEN from the mind of Yu Suzuki and Shenmue!
I think the nemesis system being copyrighted worked only as an exception since, as far as I'm aware, no other game was doing anything even remotely close to that anyway. If anyone were to have any plans for a nemesis system it would just be other AAA games, which they already weren't doing. It's not like it snuffed out any indie projects either. I think that's the only reason the copyright was allowed.
Of all the games that leeched off each other for decades, brown/gray everything, regen health, bleeding eyes vision... It had to be a great system everyone wants more of.
Only thing close I can think of would be AC Odyssey with the mercenary system.
"The hate is real" 😂
Obsidian: Fallout New Vegas
Bethesda: Starfield
🤷♂️
Although it is not Epic vs. Steam but rather Tencent vs. Steam.
I wonder if that whole Tik Tok ban will affect epic.
I hope so lol
10:25 yea, there’s no trademarking idea, you can trademark the product using the idea. Like You can’t trademark using ketchup but a burger using it.
This feels inspired by the Kendrick drake beef lol
