Man, one downside of the E3 format dying is that we can't really get moments like Sony quickly changing their presentation to capitalize on a rival's mistake while it's still fresh on everyone's mind.
That's the moment you think of with Sony and E3? You must really like Ridge Racer. *You Can Now Watch Sony's Disastrous E3 2006 Press Conference in 1080p* ~IGN, 7/21/23
Ya also got their weird ass presentation where they had some dude playing music... PS4 era Sony was their peak...been largely skating by on clout gained back then since.
The meme of Lucius Fox in the Dark Knight telling the accountant "So, your plan is to sell a pay to win mobile game to a convention of PC gamers that paid to be there? Good luck." was the best for Diablo Immortal.
@Swedesternobody forced those people to play that horrid game or buy those outrageously priced IAPs. Gamers have to take some responsibility for enabling developers to become so predatory. Money talks.
Sony roasting the Xbox One's always online requirement with their "This is how you share games on PS4" video where one guy simply hands a game to another was legendary.
And because of small minded idiots to this day we still don't have shared licenses between digital and physical games, the ability to access all your games anywhere (including your physical ones without bringing discs everywhere), or the ability to share any of said games with other people. But hey the rapidly declining physical market still lets you share (one) copy at a time....
Absolutely, specially given the fact that executive had a whole speech prepared for the presentation, but at the very last moment decided to ditch it for the "$299", best decision ever.
You didn't mention EA's reddit comment about "Providing players with a sense of pride and accomplishment" became (and remains) the *most downvoted* comment on the entirety of Reddit, still findable now at -670k downvotes. That's quite a memorable part of that story.
I honestly think they had no idea what to say and just said anything to save face (ironically when you lost for wards, DON'T say the first thing that comes to mind), i think they generally didn't expect so much negativity and expected to just ride the Diablo hype wave hoping fans would laugh it up, they became the joke they was hoping to take fans for.
You forgot to mention that the Battlefront 2 loot box scandal was so bad it ignited an investigation in Belgium about illegal gambling in Videogames, making EA potentially face criminal charges.
BTW, Diablo Immortal is now on PC and it's not THAT bad, especially for a free game. Just don't try to get to top-tier end game, because that gets expensive.
4:57 Funniest part about that, I heard that they pre-screened people to pick on so they wouldn't get any negative questions like this. That means this dude told them a really good question, and then switched it up to this legendary question when called upon
Ya know I remember that happening, but to hear that Sony can and WILL take devastating pock shots at a competitor since before PS1 was released is crazy.
@voidcenturyD Agreed. I'm pretty sure it was Sony President of Japan and Sony President of America. That said, that little 20sec or so commercial about "How to share games with your friends on Playstation 4" was amazing. It was like an infinite damage glitch.
@darthlazurus4382that is the most insanely blatant greed I've ever seen in a video game. Save states... Jesus christ... It's a PC game/console game, wherein the save state is local. Grotesque. Konami fell from my favorite publisher on the 8 and 16 bit consoles, to whatever this is now. My excitement for a new Castlevania game is diminished.
I played Diablo since i was in 5th grade because my teacher had cracked copies in his classroom, and although I respect your disappointment there's quite a bit of ...y'all need to grow up and stop acting like its the end of the world when a game you don't like or agree with comes out. When I saw this all I said was "oh that's lame, maybe next year they'll have info on the new game for PC" and went on with my day. It's ridiculous to be so upset about a luxury entertainment product. "Is ThIS a OuT oF sEaSoN aPrIl fOoLs JoKe?" so damn lame and try hard to be funny, you can even tell he wasn't even confident saying that. Y'all just eat up anything to try to be funny at things you don't like and it's just so....lame. And then it went on to make a lot of money. So it really shows how much "die-hard" fans really know about what people like in games. which is really nothing
One thing about the Xbone that got overshadowed by the, ya know, apocalyptic disaster of everything else, was the name. Apparently they had a marketing team that put a lot of work into the name and were sure that fans would call the console "The One." Then they watched in complete and abject horror as fans instantly dubbed it "X Bone".
It's name was a massive joke, and arguably the dumbest name a console has ever had, and we live in a world where the "Wii U" exists. Just the fact that they thought it was a good idea to name their third console "One" baffles me. Say what you will about Sony, particularly in recent years, but with their consoles at least you can always tell which one is the latest model just from hearing the name.
@Gamer3427If memory serves correctly, it was meant to refer to the fact that it was going to run all your entertainment devices (Tv, Netflix, RUclips, gaming etc.)
@4mobius280 Yea, but their reasoning doesn't make it any less dumb. They needed one actual consumer to tell them that instead of purely listening to their marketing team, apparently.
@Gamer3427I think the series might be a worse name. I guess you're probably not supposed to ever say it without either the x or s, but that's bad too because "Xbox series x" sounds like it should be the collective term for all the X versions of different generations of Xbox console, rather than the X version of the generation with "series" in its name.
An extra credit should go to the Assassin's Creed dev who said female models would be too hard to make in response to why they never had a female protagonist. That definitely impacted sales.
It's amusing that two of Sony's most popular E3 console presentations were from them stating that they weren't making the same mistake as what the previous console maker's presentation said.
That Diablo guy had such a weird tone in the way he was announcing things. It sounded like he was reading off a script projected onto the wall behind the audience.
Since he is a real gamer, I am certain he knew and tried to warn the suits that the announcement was a bad idea but was overruled. I choose to believe he pushed the game as he was told while enjoying his "I told you so" moment.
"We started our rollout of Sega Saturn yesterday. We're at retail today at 1,800 Toys R Us's, Electronic Boutique, and Software Etc. stores around the US and Canada." -- It's like a stroll through the corporation cemetery and reading four headstones standing in a row
Lol yeah Blizzard alone have enough shits throughout the years to fill up this list. Off the top of my head: - The CoD Infinite Warfare debacle, where they tried to milk their fanbase by locking the good stuff (CoD MW Remaster) behind their most expensive bundle. Their RUclips trailer video achieved the highest dislike of all time. They even deleted the video once just to reset the dislike count, and the community re-dislike it back. Basically that video achieved the highest dislike count TWICE. - They killed Warcraft 3 with WC3 Reforged, achieving the lowest metacritic score of all time. And then on their first ever WC3 Reforged official tournament, the game crashed during the finals, TWICE. LIVE. They had to resort to playing the WC3 legacy mode on their 3rd rematch. What a blunder. - Blizzard banned Hearthstone pro-player because he voiced his support to the Hong Kong protest on stream. The playerbase then spam anti-China memes using Overwatch character in retaliation lol.
@shauntmw Man I'll never forget the HK protest thing. My tweet about it went viral out of the blue and I had people in the office like "I saw you on the front page of Reddit!" Made me absolutely never want to be famous.
@shauntmwdon't forget all the Overwatch bullshit. Overwatch League getting a shit ton of investment and flop, OW2 being forced on everyone with weird sign in bullshit at launch, Hell, Jeff Kaplan just came out with how the shitty CFO basically threatened him with 1000 layoffs if he didn't cooperate.
At 10:39 the smug look of a man who just got a roar of ovation for zero effort on something that he didn’t know two days before was even a necessary bullet point. That’s the look a coach would give watching the opposition boot one into goal - at the wrong end. That’s the look of Sun Tzu watching the enemy make mistakes. That’s the look of a cartoon mouse watching a cat check for him in the dog house.
Mobile game used to be Java 2d sprite before 3d games before implemented internet connection required to play than plug and play anywhere without condition
Jane's description of Star Wars Galaxies' profession system took me right back to my carefully crafted 1v1 unarmed build that also included a line in musician that allowed me to catch a lot of people by surprise when they jokingly went around challenging roleplaying entertainers to duels in the cantina. The best part is that unarmed allowed you to keep your musical instrument equipped so you could beat people unconscious with a slitherhorn.
In fairness, most of the value was from Kojima Productions, not necessarily the man himself. Besides, Konami has shown they can make good Metal Gear stuff thanks to Delta.
I can understand not wanting to deal with such a difficult person, but he literally prints money with his ideas as crazy as they are. MG is a corner stone of stealth games for a reason. And his ideological takes on conflict are pretty interesting in what if scenarios. But Konami wants easy money, Kojima wants to make meaningful and expressive games. Hell some of his ideas from Death Stranding are starting to bleed into other games as wild as some were (like gacha game Arknights Endfield where other's buildings can pop up in your world despite it being single player)
7:28 Yes, I DO remember Panzer Dragoon. It had one of the greatest intro soundtracks of all time. In fact, I still listen to it regularly, to this very day!
It wasn't just that they told a room full of pc players that they were making a mobile game. It was also the fact that, just years earlier, they had made fun of this exact premise: a mobile diablo. It was an april fool's joke, and the the joke involved a diablo themed flappy bird clone. It was a freaking insult is what it was.
Yeah, this happened three separate times, players found they could go protest in the star ports which were the big transport hubs, it would then lag out the server and you'd get 1-2 FPS in the area, servers would start to crash and so SOE responded by teleporting people to space and even just taking the servers down. The first big protest was when there was a credit dupe glitch and they were banning all accounts that had duped credits regardless of if they had taken part in duping credits, this was a big problem due to how the economy worked and so anyone who provided services were getting banned for no reason The second big protest was the Combat Update, which was essentially the pre-curser for the NGE, pre CU you could design your character however you wanted and still have it be viable, post CU pretty much forced you to max the elite class tree And then the third protest was the NGE
I will never understand all the "WoW killer" mmos. Like, people who wanted to play WoW were already playing WoW. Why would they stop and play something else? But hey at least they gave Josh Strife Hayes a career, which is nice ^^
Its almost like chasing trends doesn't work. Who would have thought? Surely weve learned though right? Right? Guys? We learned right? *looks at all the battle royales* oh god.... what have we done
We haven't done anything. A small group of idiots isolated from the consequences of their actions backed by more wealth than we will ever see in our lifetimes stolen from workers like you and me who have failed and continue to fail upwards have done this.
Don't worry, the countless extraction shooters will be a hit FOR SURE, plus let's keep doing hero shooters for good measure! And let's not forget to make them live service, those never go wrong.
Star Wars Galaxies was the most fun I’d ever had in an MMO and its public execution by its own developers was a sight to behold. One of the most flexible and interesting games around turned into a cookie cutter WOW ripoff over night. I played for about a day after the update and cancelled/uninstalled since most of the abilities I’d built my main character around had been completely cut. It’s also worth mentioning that becoming a Jedi was insanely difficult in the base game to keep them rare, so making it a character creation job was a real kick in the nuts to anyone who had gone through the trouble of unlocking it.
Even the webcomic CTRL-ALT-DEL featured a similar concept for the NGE atrocity. Imagine doing all the work to become "Force Sensitive" (which was NOT well-known) and start the mysterious path to Jedi, only to see the class set up as choosable from the nine available. Uninstalled and cancelled the subscription in less time it took for Han Solo to complete the Kessel Run.
I never normally press the button unless i really enjoy the video (to the point i might wish to find it again later) but i had to on this one, just to take that shot at Blizzard
Actually i agree. Many framed this as him and Konami "falling out" when it was him getting a bit too full of himself, don't get me wrong, he made decent games but i think many treat the MGS franchise as if it was only him working on them, he was known to have some loyal devs who equally put him in his place when his ideas got too carried away and felt "off".
Everybody sided with Kojima not because he’s a saint and did no wrong, they sided with him because Konami had been sinking their franchises for years, failing to make any good products. After his departure they are still stuck remaking his old games. They had 0 good will left with the fans. Meanwhile Kojima was let loose and made something crazy which wasn’t that great. They were better together, but alas it wasn’t meant to be.
I wasn't a Kojima fan, but I hated what Konami had done to Silent Hill. On top of what Guillermo and Kojima would have done for the franchise, I was happy for the first time in a decade with Konami. However, since it's a garbage company led by village idiots, I'm happy to watch Konami set itself in fire and then go piss on the ashes.
He wanted them to stop pressuring his team to go through crunch periods, not expect him to release games before they were ready, and to treat game development like they were making something worthwhile, not a Fast Food service for gaming
The one and only time my partner and I went to BlizzCon was 2018. And boy was it certainly... interesting... to be there when this announcement was made. I will never forget the feeling of the energy in that room. 😬
I didn't even know you could beat E.T. until RUclips launched, and I saw my first complete playthrough of the game. I grew up believing that it was broken and unbeatable.
It was an early example of a game that required you to read the manual properly and understand. There were other examples on the 2600, but it was rare and most people would put in a 2600 game and just mess around. You needed to know what all the symbols mean and all the other parts of the game to complete ET. It's technically a much better game than it gets credit for once you know what's happening (certainly relative to the mass of 2600 games released), but did need polishing more still. And the actual intended audience clearly wasn't right for a game with that much "complexity."
@wyterabitt2149 My parents have never been good with technology so we always had to read the manuals for them. Seemed natural to me until I asked a friend something about Super Mario Bros, probably related to the people of the kingdom being transformed so I wondered if you were killing those people in the game. He didn't have the slightest idea and I discovered he had never ever read a single line of the manual.
I got my copy second-hand, so there was never a manual to begin with, and I remember being utterly baffled by the game. I probably just shrugged and popped Pitfall or Missile Command back in. 😂
Sega did another big taboo to hamper their saturn launch: They kept releasing addons to the genesis right up to launch diluting the market and fans willingness to invest in a new system when they were just charged for a Sega CD and Sega 32X addons
I also told my brother NOT to buy a Sega Dreamcast and wait for the PS2 to come out, since the last few products Sega had made sucked, being the Sega Saturn, which had basically the same games as the PlayStation but with WORSE graphics and COST more, the 32X which I know of NOBODY that had one, and the Mega CD which was ok, but like the 32X also required you to already own a Mega Drive. He DID buy a 2nd hand Dreamcast about a year and a bit into it's lifetime though, which I'm glad he did, because I loved it. He then also bought a PS2 anyway.
I feel like Sega were always incompetent but also very lucky, until they weren't. They made blunder after blunder but still managed to do alright for a while. At least a lot of the games were great.
It's worth noting that saying Diablo Immortal is Blizzard's second most profitable mobile game after Hearthstone really isn't saying much because their only other mobile game is Warcraft Rumble. Which most of you have probably never heard of.
It's also really not saying much when you consider the mobile game market is a massive cash cow, where even very low quality or hated games can make a solid profit. Particularly if it's a big IP. From what I hear, Immortal is still around, which is a bit surprising, but it has been rapidly losing what players it does have over the past year.
I vividly remember that very dark time in MMOs where every single game that started out with unique features gradually tried to devolve into a WoW clone. Age of Conan suffered from it really badly. I still have the really cool collectors edition of that game, too.
I was playing Lord of the Rings Online when it debuted in 2007, and the forums were full of people wanting it to be exactly like WoW, and they were angry too that it wasn’t. I hear ya about Age of Conan suffering from that. That game was amazing in the beginning before they tried to be like WoW.
my favorite part about xbox shooting themselves with the one's announcement of anti-used game features was when sony put out a video that was a "guide" on how to share your games on ps4, and it was just a guy handing a disc to another guy who said "thanks!"
Oh boy. I still watch that Xbox One E3 Highlights clip to this day. It's a tasty sample of the AAA industry downfall and its disconnection between shareholders and consumers. "Xbox is about to become the next watercooler."
The Sega US President, Tom Kalinske, was against the Sega Saturn. He made Sonic the Hedgehog the bundled game for the Genesis, overtook Nintendo in popularity, and wanted to partner with Sony. Sega HQ ignored his objections. Tom was forced to make the announcement, later turned in his resignation, and Sega never recovered it's dominance.
A video game company decision that backfired was Nintendo deciding not to go forward with their CD-Rom attachment with Sony. As a result, Sony decided to make their own video game console and named it Playstation. Nintendo inadvertently created one of their biggest competitors.
For some reason after Nintendo lost to a new contender with the Sony PlayStation, I always forget they came THIRD in the next generation, I kept thinking the PS2 sold the most of that generation, then the GameCube then the original Xbox, but no, PS2 sold the most, then THE NEW guy again Microsoft with the original Xbox, and Nintendo in 3rd place with the GameCube. This with me being in the UK too, where the original Xbox outsold the GameCube by almost double, GameCube sold 1,150,000 units, original Xbox sold 2,140,000 units.
@lmcgregoruk Honestly no generation was as landmarked won like the PS2 era. Sure Xbox and Gamecube existed and had great games but like everyone had a PS2 and a plethora of games came for it like no one had seen before. Isnt PS2 still the most widely purchased console of all time still?
I now understand the reports of Jane purchasing a super yacht and then sailing it to her extreme mansion on her new personal human-constructed tropical island. It's all very James Bond villain-like!! 🤔
I not only remember Panzer Dragoon, but I remember Panzer Dragoon Saga. Saga is the most amazing RPG with 20 hours of gameplay that you will ever experience. The Saturn had SO many good games.
@8:30 Who would have guessed that they would add in such a fittin' cutscene in their own game. "We finally got everyone to calm down. WAIT THEY'RE PISSED AGAIN!"
How about the time that Ubisoft announced that they were finally making a Byond Good and Evil sequel, only to later admit it was a prequel and an online-only multiplayer-only mess? And then the public response to them turning yet another classic single-player game into online garbage was so poor that they shuffled the game into the "development hell" dust bin.
Despite knowing about both of those Sony stories, I didn't realize that Sony of America had a pattern of building memes for applause when the competition botched it.
As someone who religiously watched and rewatched the promo VHS that came with Issue 1 of Sega Saturn Magazine, I'll never forget Clockwork Knight...no matter how much I try.
Now all we have to look forward to is the day he’s just a historical footnote. Hopefully in the article about embarrassing self inflicted rectal deaths.
@QueerCoreGaming Historical footnote? You think the richest man in the world isn't going to leave a legacy to last hundreds of years? You leftist still whine about Rothschild and Mayer Amschel Rothschild died back in 1812 or over 200 years ago.
@frankbandera6591There’s been a lot of insanely rich people throughout history. You, and the overwhelming majority of people, have heard of less than 5. We barely remember the rich and powerful from a couple of decades ago, in a century most of what is happening here will be a mere footnote for history nerds and podcasts. Comforting thought, isn’t it?
Remember when that guy spent so much money on diablo immortal gear he couldn't pvp anymore? He paid to win and he did, no one had gear enough to fight him 😂Good times, good times.
I’m just saying, if Jane calls her new currency Jane Dough, she’ll get those backers.
No wonder Jane is on the top ten of UK investors
You win Internet for today.

Never doubt Sony to do that though, apparently their PS division is notorious for it.

It's made hundreds of millions, btw. I didn't like what they did, but they made beaucoup bucks and saw no consequences.
@wanderingmercurymarauder761that really is the case. I guess it's because people don't know better
@wanderingmercurymarauder761 the microtransactions are outrageous that’s why
@Swedesternobody forced those people to play that horrid game or buy those outrageously priced IAPs. Gamers have to take some responsibility for enabling developers to become so predatory. Money talks.
@little_fluffy_clouds I’m well aware of that, I’m simply pointing out how they’ve made such an outrageous profit off of a mobile game

@dissrapsfound Phil Spencer on RUclips amazing
xbox was ahead of their time as it’s the standard now
@jrol2000let Xbox die in peace man, why the need to remind us that 😭
@jrol2000 Is that why they're third place, and now third party?
I don’t think I will ever get over the absolute murder of the Saturn that was the “$299”.
The biggest Mic Drop in gaming history, literally not a single word beyond that - didn't need to.
That's was dreamcast that got killed with th ps2 299
No, it was the saturn and the PS1
Eco 37 and 299 are iconic gaming moments
Absolutely, specially given the fact that executive had a whole speech prepared for the presentation, but at the very last moment decided to ditch it for the "$299", best decision ever.
You didn't mention EA's reddit comment about "Providing players with a sense of pride and accomplishment" became (and remains) the *most downvoted* comment on the entirety of Reddit, still findable now at -670k downvotes.
That's quite a memorable part of that story.
Yeah, big part of gaming (and reddit) history too! loved it, amazing how out of touch big companies are when money is on the table.
Wow. I came here expecting this to be at least top 3 but the fact it isnt even mentioned now has me clicking off the video
Not to mention “they aren’t gambling, they’re surprise mechanics.”
@goroakechi6126 ......just like LoL surprise (or something something Magic the Cardboard crackening)
@goroakechi6126 "I'm not mugging you; I'm conducting a surprise wallet inspection"
“Do you guys not have phones?”. What a way to NOT read the room! 😂 (And I’m dying over “You can’t spell ‘pyramid’ without A.I.”! 😂😂😂)
I was working social media for Diablo Immortal at launch and it was definitely a time
They made all the money in the world with that game, tho. Lost respect. Gained money.
“Do you guys not have phones?” backfired?, the Fanbase should hear about the SA allegations. LMAO
@greeneggzandcamI hope you got danger money
I honestly think they had no idea what to say and just said anything to save face (ironically when you lost for wards, DON'T say the first thing that comes to mind), i think they generally didn't expect so much negativity and expected to just ride the Diablo hype wave hoping fans would laugh it up, they became the joke they was hoping to take fans for.
You forgot to mention that the Battlefront 2 loot box scandal was so bad it ignited an investigation in Belgium about illegal gambling in Videogames, making EA potentially face criminal charges.
"we don't call them loot boxes more surprise mechanics"
@sandvicheatfresh Yeah you may tell your devs to call them "surprise mechanics" but not one actually calls it that.
I really thought they would mention that!
@sandvicheatfresh I don't call it vandalism I call it surprise brick delivery via the window
Making every type of lootbox illegal in the Benelux. Thanks EA for ruining any chanses of me getting a strange item in TF2. Fucking assholes
"Do you guys not have phones?" is right up there with Todd saying "It just works".
"are you not entertained?"
"who do i have to --kill-- --blow-- bribe to get some service around here?"
BTW, Diablo Immortal is now on PC and it's not THAT bad, especially for a free game.
Just don't try to get to top-tier end game, because that gets expensive.

"Exactly! No you don't."
*SCREW OFF* 😭
10:20 i still remember the ad they put out "heres how you share games with your friends on the new ps4" *hands the game over*
lol ya it was such an easy dunk
"Thanks! :D"
That was Matt Booty, right?
And then they started removing games from people's digital libraries
the good kind of petty trolling you love to see lol
The amount of shade thrown by just two Japanese men passing a game back and forth was astounding
Ya know I remember that happening, but to hear that Sony can and WILL take devastating pock shots at a competitor since before PS1 was released is crazy.
Am I having the Mandela effect? Wasn't it an American man and Japanese man
@voidcenturyD Agreed. I'm pretty sure it was Sony President of Japan and Sony President of America.
That said, that little 20sec or so commercial about "How to share games with your friends on Playstation 4" was amazing. It was like an infinite damage glitch.
@voidcenturyD Yes it was.
One extra detail that made MG Survive even less appealing was their decision to charge money for additional save slots 🤑
Wait... What???
@zacharyberridge7239You get one free save slot and it's $10 for every additional save slot
@zacharyberridge7239$10 for each additional save slot
You got 1 free save slot, so if you wanted a backup save slot, $10
Yep. You got one save slot, but if you wanted another, it would cost you about $10.
@darthlazurus4382that is the most insanely blatant greed I've ever seen in a video game.
Save states... Jesus christ... It's a PC game/console game, wherein the save state is local. Grotesque. Konami fell from my favorite publisher on the 8 and 16 bit consoles, to whatever this is now.
My excitement for a new Castlevania game is diminished.
15:04 Sonic the Hedgehog: "Am I a joke to you?!"
0:36 Konami speaking to the metal gear fans.
They gave the game out for free with playstation plus, and I didn't even add it to my library after what they did. 😂😂😂
My first and last BlizzCon was the infamous, “Don’t you guys have phones?” BlizzCon
Ouch
"I do, and I try to avoid mobile games as much as possible."
Were you at that presentation?
Lol saaaaaame 😆
I played Diablo since i was in 5th grade because my teacher had cracked copies in his classroom, and although I respect your disappointment there's quite a bit of ...y'all need to grow up and stop acting like its the end of the world when a game you don't like or agree with comes out. When I saw this all I said was "oh that's lame, maybe next year they'll have info on the new game for PC" and went on with my day. It's ridiculous to be so upset about a luxury entertainment product.
"Is ThIS a OuT oF sEaSoN aPrIl fOoLs JoKe?" so damn lame and try hard to be funny, you can even tell he wasn't even confident saying that. Y'all just eat up anything to try to be funny at things you don't like and it's just so....lame. And then it went on to make a lot of money. So it really shows how much "die-hard" fans really know about what people like in games. which is really nothing
Losing half a billion in 80s money is insane
Man, 80’s money was the BEST money too… 😂
One thing about the Xbone that got overshadowed by the, ya know, apocalyptic disaster of everything else, was the name. Apparently they had a marketing team that put a lot of work into the name and were sure that fans would call the console "The One." Then they watched in complete and abject horror as fans instantly dubbed it "X Bone".
It's name was a massive joke, and arguably the dumbest name a console has ever had, and we live in a world where the "Wii U" exists. Just the fact that they thought it was a good idea to name their third console "One" baffles me. Say what you will about Sony, particularly in recent years, but with their consoles at least you can always tell which one is the latest model just from hearing the name.
Once again proof that basically all marketing teams are completely out of touch
@Gamer3427If memory serves correctly, it was meant to refer to the fact that it was going to run all your entertainment devices (Tv, Netflix, RUclips, gaming etc.)
@4mobius280 Yea, but their reasoning doesn't make it any less dumb. They needed one actual consumer to tell them that instead of purely listening to their marketing team, apparently.
@Gamer3427I think the series might be a worse name. I guess you're probably not supposed to ever say it without either the x or s, but that's bad too because "Xbox series x" sounds like it should be the collective term for all the X versions of different generations of Xbox console, rather than the X version of the generation with "series" in its name.
An extra credit should go to the Assassin's Creed dev who said female models would be too hard to make in response to why they never had a female protagonist. That definitely impacted sales.
It's amusing that two of Sony's most popular E3 console presentations were from them stating that they weren't making the same mistake as what the previous console maker's presentation said.
That Diablo guy had such a weird tone in the way he was announcing things. It sounded like he was reading off a script projected onto the wall behind the audience.
Kinda seems like he knew the reaction this would get and was ready told bolt the second things got nasty.
A teleprompter?
Since he is a real gamer, I am certain he knew and tried to warn the suits that the announcement was a bad idea but was overruled. I choose to believe he pushed the game as he was told while enjoying his "I told you so" moment.
@mavoc3094if he was a real gamer, he could have refused to announce that abomination and let one of the suits do it.
@little_fluffy_clouds Refusing to do one of the most critical parts of your job description sounds like a good way to get fired
"We started our rollout of Sega Saturn yesterday. We're at retail today at 1,800 Toys R Us's, Electronic Boutique, and Software Etc. stores around the US and Canada." -- It's like a stroll through the corporation cemetery and reading four headstones standing in a row
Canadia isn't dead. They're kept on life support by the US.
@notmousseI think you really misunderstand which country is doing better right now.
@rydiafan1Sure, Jan.
@notmousseMAGAts try not to make every little thing political challenge: impossible.
I love how OP didn't even mention US vs Canada, and the comments turned into it anyway.
They were just talking about defunct companies like Toys R Us.
7 game company decisions that backfired horribly...and that's JUST Blizzard's list!
Lol yeah Blizzard alone have enough shits throughout the years to fill up this list.
Off the top of my head:
- The CoD Infinite Warfare debacle, where they tried to milk their fanbase by locking the good stuff (CoD MW Remaster) behind their most expensive bundle. Their RUclips trailer video achieved the highest dislike of all time. They even deleted the video once just to reset the dislike count, and the community re-dislike it back. Basically that video achieved the highest dislike count TWICE.
- They killed Warcraft 3 with WC3 Reforged, achieving the lowest metacritic score of all time. And then on their first ever WC3 Reforged official tournament, the game crashed during the finals, TWICE. LIVE. They had to resort to playing the WC3 legacy mode on their 3rd rematch. What a blunder.
- Blizzard banned Hearthstone pro-player because he voiced his support to the Hong Kong protest on stream. The playerbase then spam anti-China memes using Overwatch character in retaliation lol.
@shauntmw Man I'll never forget the HK protest thing. My tweet about it went viral out of the blue and I had people in the office like "I saw you on the front page of Reddit!" Made me absolutely never want to be famous.
@shauntmwdon't forget all the Overwatch bullshit. Overwatch League getting a shit ton of investment and flop, OW2 being forced on everyone with weird sign in bullshit at launch, Hell, Jeff Kaplan just came out with how the shitty CFO basically threatened him with 1000 layoffs if he didn't cooperate.
At 10:39 the smug look of a man who just got a roar of ovation for zero effort on something that he didn’t know two days before was even a necessary bullet point.
That’s the look a coach would give watching the opposition boot one into goal - at the wrong end. That’s the look of Sun Tzu watching the enemy make mistakes. That’s the look of a cartoon mouse watching a cat check for him in the dog house.
All he could hear was “cha-Ching, cha-ching, cha-ching”
I knew when I read the title, that the "Do you guys not have phones?" comment was going to make it on this list.
Mobile game used to be Java 2d sprite before 3d games before implemented internet connection required to play than plug and play anywhere without condition
17:15 That clip still has aura 30 years later!
Aura that aged like a burrito fart
Balan didnt help.
Jane's description of Star Wars Galaxies' profession system took me right back to my carefully crafted 1v1 unarmed build that also included a line in musician that allowed me to catch a lot of people by surprise when they jokingly went around challenging roleplaying entertainers to duels in the cantina.
The best part is that unarmed allowed you to keep your musical instrument equipped so you could beat people unconscious with a slitherhorn.
Okay that's genuinely hilarious, I approve of your build and your sass.
I now desperately want to play a character like that
The more i hear about that game, the more I regret never playing it.
@Pink.andahalf ngl it was pretty great until they ran it into the ground trying to be WoW. I owned a whole town at one point.
Konami had a very demanding hen that always dropped golden eggs and they considered it a expense.
In fairness, most of the value was from Kojima Productions, not necessarily the man himself. Besides, Konami has shown they can make good Metal Gear stuff thanks to Delta.
I can understand not wanting to deal with such a difficult person, but he literally prints money with his ideas as crazy as they are. MG is a corner stone of stealth games for a reason. And his ideological takes on conflict are pretty interesting in what if scenarios. But Konami wants easy money, Kojima wants to make meaningful and expressive games. Hell some of his ideas from Death Stranding are starting to bleed into other games as wild as some were (like gacha game Arknights Endfield where other's buildings can pop up in your world despite it being single player)
@goroakechi6126
Not to say it isn’t good or anything, but isn’t Delta a remake of MGS3, a game written and directed by Hideo Kojima?
@goroakechi6126that's a very short leap. Remakes may be graphically difficult. But in terms of writing and content, it is not.
@fiascothe63rdagreed.
7:28 Yes, I DO remember Panzer Dragoon. It had one of the greatest intro soundtracks of all time. In fact, I still listen to it regularly, to this very day!
It wasn't just that they told a room full of pc players that they were making a mobile game. It was also the fact that, just years earlier, they had made fun of this exact premise: a mobile diablo. It was an april fool's joke, and the the joke involved a diablo themed flappy bird clone. It was a freaking insult is what it was.
It's an even worse insult considering how much fucking LORE they put in that game.
14:33 I'm disappointed you didn't mention when players congregated to protest this change, the GM's teleported them into space.
I'm sorry WHAT
okay, that's actually hilarious
😂 For real??
Yeah, this happened three separate times, players found they could go protest in the star ports which were the big transport hubs, it would then lag out the server and you'd get 1-2 FPS in the area, servers would start to crash and so SOE responded by teleporting people to space and even just taking the servers down.
The first big protest was when there was a credit dupe glitch and they were banning all accounts that had duped credits regardless of if they had taken part in duping credits, this was a big problem due to how the economy worked and so anyone who provided services were getting banned for no reason
The second big protest was the Combat Update, which was essentially the pre-curser for the NGE, pre CU you could design your character however you wanted and still have it be viable, post CU pretty much forced you to max the elite class tree
And then the third protest was the NGE
I will never understand all the "WoW killer" mmos.
Like, people who wanted to play WoW were already playing WoW.
Why would they stop and play something else?
But hey at least they gave Josh Strife Hayes a career, which is nice ^^
2:52 and sooo many gambling machines, a single Holiday Inn has 3 rooms full of Konami license Gambling machines -_-;
10:30 it annoys the hell out of me that what should be a standard business practice gets a massive cheer like this.
And it was probably only because a board member _forced_ them to do it.
Patrick Soderlund of Battlefield fame (infamy) - “Accept it or don’t buy the game”…. - And people didn’t - and he promptly left EA
"Can't spell pyramid without AI" is gonna be my new favorite saying from now on
Its almost like chasing trends doesn't work. Who would have thought? Surely weve learned though right? Right? Guys? We learned right? *looks at all the battle royales* oh god.... what have we done
We haven't done anything. A small group of idiots isolated from the consequences of their actions backed by more wealth than we will ever see in our lifetimes stolen from workers like you and me who have failed and continue to fail upwards have done this.
Don't worry, the countless extraction shooters will be a hit FOR SURE, plus let's keep doing hero shooters for good measure! And let's not forget to make them live service, those never go wrong.
And now extraction shooters. Trend the sequel
"Let's all laugh at an industry that never learns anything, tee hee hee!"
Trend-chasing works, but only big trends early on in their popularity.
I love that you could hear the cameraman’s muffled laugh when Jane pointed to the dislike button
Star Wars Galaxies was the most fun I’d ever had in an MMO and its public execution by its own developers was a sight to behold. One of the most flexible and interesting games around turned into a cookie cutter WOW ripoff over night. I played for about a day after the update and cancelled/uninstalled since most of the abilities I’d built my main character around had been completely cut.
It’s also worth mentioning that becoming a Jedi was insanely difficult in the base game to keep them rare, so making it a character creation job was a real kick in the nuts to anyone who had gone through the trouble of unlocking it.
Even the webcomic CTRL-ALT-DEL featured a similar concept for the NGE atrocity.
Imagine doing all the work to become "Force Sensitive" (which was NOT well-known) and start the mysterious path to Jedi, only to see the class set up as choosable from the nine available.
Uninstalled and cancelled the subscription in less time it took for Han Solo to complete the Kessel Run.
5:35 i remember in an interview after one of the devs said something like "Many of our colleagues switched from desktop top mobile"
they forgot to add "because we forced them to" XD
What is desktop top mobile?
@timjones7336it's a typo they mean "from desktop to mobile"
I've never hit "like" when prompted so quickly. Being supportive whilst making a dig at Blizzard, here for it😂
I never hit the like button…
I find it harms my recommendations. Putting me in a bubble…
I never normally press the button unless i really enjoy the video (to the point i might wish to find it again later) but i had to on this one, just to take that shot at Blizzard
@Chimera_Photography The RUclips recommendation algorithm's curve overfitting is brutal. "Oh you like X? We'll show you nothing but X!"
Thank you for actually acknowledging Kojima's fault in the breakdown of the relationship with Konami.
Actually i agree. Many framed this as him and Konami "falling out" when it was him getting a bit too full of himself, don't get me wrong, he made decent games but i think many treat the MGS franchise as if it was only him working on them, he was known to have some loyal devs who equally put him in his place when his ideas got too carried away and felt "off".
Everybody sided with Kojima not because he’s a saint and did no wrong, they sided with him because Konami had been sinking their franchises for years, failing to make any good products. After his departure they are still stuck remaking his old games. They had 0 good will left with the fans. Meanwhile Kojima was let loose and made something crazy which wasn’t that great. They were better together, but alas it wasn’t meant to be.
I wasn't a Kojima fan, but I hated what Konami had done to Silent Hill. On top of what Guillermo and Kojima would have done for the franchise, I was happy for the first time in a decade with Konami. However, since it's a garbage company led by village idiots, I'm happy to watch Konami set itself in fire and then go piss on the ashes.
He wanted them to stop pressuring his team to go through crunch periods, not expect him to release games before they were ready, and to treat game development like they were making something worthwhile, not a Fast Food service for gaming
@lc9245 Was good enough to get a sequel, was 505 Games highest grossing game of 2020, was #2 in the UK, after the Modern Warfare reboot,
The one and only time my partner and I went to BlizzCon was 2018. And boy was it certainly... interesting... to be there when this announcement was made. I will never forget the feeling of the energy in that room. 😬
*"THIS IS AN XBOX"*
Worst Console Brand Ad Campaign EVER
6:39 i have an extension to see dislikes, that video is now at 797K dislikes lol
$299 is one of those clips that just goes hard, no matter how many times you see it.
"This footage which looks like a fax machine having a medical episode" had me laughing uproariously. Good line.
I didn't even know you could beat E.T. until RUclips launched, and I saw my first complete playthrough of the game. I grew up believing that it was broken and unbeatable.
It was an early example of a game that required you to read the manual properly and understand. There were other examples on the 2600, but it was rare and most people would put in a 2600 game and just mess around.
You needed to know what all the symbols mean and all the other parts of the game to complete ET.
It's technically a much better game than it gets credit for once you know what's happening (certainly relative to the mass of 2600 games released), but did need polishing more still. And the actual intended audience clearly wasn't right for a game with that much "complexity."
@wyterabitt2149 Yeah, as someone who owned and played the ET game back in the day, your description basically matches my own experience.
@wyterabitt2149 My parents have never been good with technology so we always had to read the manuals for them. Seemed natural to me until I asked a friend something about Super Mario Bros, probably related to the people of the kingdom being transformed so I wondered if you were killing those people in the game. He didn't have the slightest idea and I discovered he had never ever read a single line of the manual.
Your account is almost 20 years old and you only have one sub. Insane.
I got my copy second-hand, so there was never a manual to begin with, and I remember being utterly baffled by the game. I probably just shrugged and popped Pitfall or Missile Command back in. 😂
1:38 are you aware your voice audio is pulling from the right?
As the video was posted and they likely won't re-record, I don't think it will matter lol
@HeyoKayoh503How does that affect if they are aware
@Fallout3131 It doesn’t. Some people just suffer from a lack of reading comprehension.
Thought my headphones were breaking 😂
2:02 metal gear surVIve. Survive has the Roman numeral for 6 since kojima left after MGS5
Sega did another big taboo to hamper their saturn launch: They kept releasing addons to the genesis right up to launch diluting the market and fans willingness to invest in a new system when they were just charged for a Sega CD and Sega 32X addons
Sega ENTIRELY
I also told my brother NOT to buy a Sega Dreamcast and wait for the PS2 to come out, since the last few products Sega had made sucked, being the Sega Saturn, which had basically the same games as the PlayStation but with WORSE graphics and COST more, the 32X which I know of NOBODY that had one, and the Mega CD which was ok, but like the 32X also required you to already own a Mega Drive.
He DID buy a 2nd hand Dreamcast about a year and a bit into it's lifetime though, which I'm glad he did, because I loved it. He then also bought a PS2 anyway.
I feel like Sega were always incompetent but also very lucky, until they weren't. They made blunder after blunder but still managed to do alright for a while.
At least a lot of the games were great.
It's worth noting that saying Diablo Immortal is Blizzard's second most profitable mobile game after Hearthstone really isn't saying much because their only other mobile game is Warcraft Rumble. Which most of you have probably never heard of.
Yeah, second best out of three isn't exactly high praise
It's also really not saying much when you consider the mobile game market is a massive cash cow, where even very low quality or hated games can make a solid profit. Particularly if it's a big IP. From what I hear, Immortal is still around, which is a bit surprising, but it has been rapidly losing what players it does have over the past year.
Activision-Blizzard also owns Candy Crush which until recently was the most profitable mobile game in history.
Don't forget how often they said "content" in the Xbox One presentation. :)
Well, the content is their product. Watch Satya Nadella take a reluctant nibble. Play with a dead controller and make "ooh-aah" noises.
They probably said "TV" just about the same amount.
Must... consume... content. ITCHY. TASTY. BRAINS!
Hearing that word makes me puke 🤮
Yeah that word ("content") has been overused so much in recent years it's sickening
"Do you guys not have phones?" will forever be the most smug, tone deaf things a game develop has said.
I vividly remember that very dark time in MMOs where every single game that started out with unique features gradually tried to devolve into a WoW clone. Age of Conan suffered from it really badly. I still have the really cool collectors edition of that game, too.
I was playing Lord of the Rings Online when it debuted in 2007, and the forums were full of people wanting it to be exactly like WoW, and they were angry too that it wasn’t.
I hear ya about Age of Conan suffering from that. That game was amazing in the beginning before they tried to be like WoW.
Same here, and WoW looks more like Fortnite now...
my favorite part about xbox shooting themselves with the one's announcement of anti-used game features was when sony put out a video that was a "guide" on how to share your games on ps4, and it was just a guy handing a disc to another guy who said "thanks!"
I remember that. It was the best own in history and it makes me miss E3.
16:50 yes I do remember Clockwork Knight.. * sighs in being 40 *
As do I, though I never played it.
Same, did you ever play Johnny Bazookatone?
@wouldiwasshookspeared4087 that rings a bell now you mention it. I was all about Bug!
No you don't
Dude I'm 32 I feel you.
For anyone curious, that Diablo Immortal trailer has 34k Likes, and 797k Dislikes as of March 2026.
How do you check dislikes nowadays?
@wingdingmasqueradeThird-party browser add-ons.
I paused this video to go dislike it just now.
@Myomer104. It estimates but it doesnt know how much there actually is
"Do you guys not own phones?" earned literal billions of dollars, just a reminder. I wish I could "fail" as successfully as that.
18:35
1) It was standard at the time for only one designer to work on a game.
2) He was the best.
A stealth drop is an incredible idea as long as your business partners are also aware of your stealth drop
9:16 a bar i used to go to had a wii setup with a big projecter with wii bowling, it was quite popular with the patrons.
Jane doesn't do pyramid schemes, Andy. It's clearly a Ponzi scheme!
Jane is too cool for a Ponzi scheme. Now a Fonzi scheme that allows for nice leather jackets, that’s another story…
My No 1 still is Wyatt Cheng, followed by Bethesdas "You play it wrong".
Oh boy. I still watch that Xbox One E3 Highlights clip to this day. It's a tasty sample of the AAA industry downfall and its disconnection between shareholders and consumers. "Xbox is about to become the next watercooler."
7:44 was absolutely genius!
My downfall with Jane Coin was that I did the mistake of buying the hard copy which are chokolade, and now I have no more Jane Coin. 😭
Genuinely thought Mike wasn't going to mention Mads Mikkelsen in Hideo Kojima's list of demands and got worried for a minute there 😅
I'm surprised he didn't mention the feet pics.
The Sega US President, Tom Kalinske, was against the Sega Saturn. He made Sonic the Hedgehog the bundled game for the Genesis, overtook Nintendo in popularity, and wanted to partner with Sony. Sega HQ ignored his objections. Tom was forced to make the announcement, later turned in his resignation, and Sega never recovered it's dominance.
10:18 this ruined the Xbox One as badly as "$299" ruined the Sega Saturn announcement!
A video game company decision that backfired was Nintendo deciding not to go forward with their CD-Rom attachment with Sony. As a result, Sony decided to make their own video game console and named it Playstation. Nintendo inadvertently created one of their biggest competitors.
I'm not sure Nintendo counts them as a competitor at this point but yep they did back then.
@stuartmorley6894
Nintendo’s been more or less disengaged from the console wars since the Wii.
For some reason after Nintendo lost to a new contender with the Sony PlayStation, I always forget they came THIRD in the next generation, I kept thinking the PS2 sold the most of that generation, then the GameCube then the original Xbox, but no, PS2 sold the most, then THE NEW guy again Microsoft with the original Xbox, and Nintendo in 3rd place with the GameCube. This with me being in the UK too, where the original Xbox outsold the GameCube by almost double, GameCube sold 1,150,000 units, original Xbox sold 2,140,000 units.
@lmcgregoruk Honestly no generation was as landmarked won like the PS2 era. Sure Xbox and Gamecube existed and had great games but like everyone had a PS2 and a plethora of games came for it like no one had seen before. Isnt PS2 still the most widely purchased console of all time still?
It's more complicated than not "feeling like it". Sony gave them an unacceptable deal.
I now understand the reports of Jane purchasing a super yacht and then sailing it to her extreme mansion on her new personal human-constructed tropical island. It's all very James Bond villain-like!! 🤔
Good thing all of these companies learned from their mistakes and each other.
🎶Let's all laugh at an industry that never learns anything! Tee-hee-hee!🎶
"Welcome... to Highguard."
Yes! They learned to double down and make the mistakes of their competitors, but do it even WORSE 😂🎉
Meanwhile Gabe Newell has been raking in more profits by just.....
Making good products (shocker)
"Do you people not have phones?" I knew in that moment that no one at Blizzard had any idea why people played the Diablo franchise.
Diablo Immortal for mobile only was heresy, but The Division Resurgence apparently is fine. Gamers forget what they stand for and forgive too easily.
I not only remember Panzer Dragoon, but I remember Panzer Dragoon Saga. Saga is the most amazing RPG with 20 hours of gameplay that you will ever experience.
The Saturn had SO many good games.
PDS, Burning Rangers...It's a pity these games couldn't reach a wider audience.
I remember Panzer Dragoon as well. I played it quite a bit on my PS2 :)
I never played it, but also remember it. So do the people who remade it a few years back, cos I can see a remake on Steam from 2020
@Drenix they're also in the process of remaking zwei
@8:30 Who would have guessed that they would add in such a fittin' cutscene in their own game. "We finally got everyone to calm down. WAIT THEY'RE PISSED AGAIN!"
"Charging for pay-to-win loot-boxes"
Well if they didn't charge they'd just be to-win loot-boxes wouldn't they?
Hey, Clockwork Knight rules, and I'll hear no more about it!
11:07 Giving all the uma guns is the only possible method by which Umamusume could be improved!
How about the time that Ubisoft announced that they were finally making a Byond Good and Evil sequel, only to later admit it was a prequel and an online-only multiplayer-only mess? And then the public response to them turning yet another classic single-player game into online garbage was so poor that they shuffled the game into the "development hell" dust bin.
Despite knowing about both of those Sony stories, I didn't realize that Sony of America had a pattern of building memes for applause when the competition botched it.
And those were short, sweet, and devastatingly to the point too.
Makes me wish people did that back to them when they ripped people off. Might have stopped them doing it
@ArkaneStephanie I think it would stop them as much as it stopped their competition, which is to say: not at all
I really hope Jane's prediction that this video can get more likes than Diablo Immortal's trailer comes true lol
Almost there
"A fax machine having some sort of medical episode..." 😭Lmaooo 🤣
"299" *walk off stage* i cant (XD)
Legendary
I do remember Panzer Dragoon; I had it! (and I still have two Saturns)
Yeah, dumb comment from the video. I still think Panzer Dragoon holds up if you can get past the visuals. (Yes, there is a remake now as well)
My phone froze at 3:15 just to get ready for what was about to happen 😂
hey I remember panzer dragoon, I loved that game!
Star Wars gaming fans: I expect nothing and I'm still let down
Game industry constantly trying to make everything go full digital
Despite being told time and time again by gamers they want physical
As someone who religiously watched and rewatched the promo VHS that came with Issue 1 of Sega Saturn Magazine, I'll never forget Clockwork Knight...no matter how much I try.
The phrase that made me most melancholy and nostalgic in this video was "when nobody knew who Elon Musk was".
Those were the days.
Now all we have to look forward to is the day he’s just a historical footnote. Hopefully in the article about embarrassing self inflicted rectal deaths.
Who's Elon musk ? Whoever that person is, it be better for the world not knowing who he was
@QueerCoreGaming Historical footnote? You think the richest man in the world isn't going to leave a legacy to last hundreds of years? You leftist still whine about Rothschild and Mayer Amschel Rothschild died back in 1812 or over 200 years ago.
@frankbandera6591It'll be a legacy alright but I'm willing to wager it's not the one he'll want. Not even as the best Path of Exile player
@frankbandera6591There’s been a lot of insanely rich people throughout history. You, and the overwhelming majority of people, have heard of less than 5. We barely remember the rich and powerful from a couple of decades ago, in a century most of what is happening here will be a mere footnote for history nerds and podcasts. Comforting thought, isn’t it?
Remember when that guy spent so much money on diablo immortal gear he couldn't pvp anymore? He paid to win and he did, no one had gear enough to fight him 😂Good times, good times.
You should have mentioned that the Xbox one messed up so bad, all Sony had to do to win the conference was announce the price
Let's talk about ALL of Xbox's. Raising prices after losing sales, then raising it again.
The live service cash grab
