You’re a Class Act! Great and Intriguing Stuff! As always!

Carpenter Brut playing during that trailer got me a little hyped. Carpenter Brut fucking rules. If anyone hasn't heard of him, listen to his album Trilogy. It rules.

PLEASE HAVE JACKIE CHAN STUNT MASTER LINED UP FOR FUTURE REVIEW REGARDLESS OF VOTING!! PLEASE 🙏🏾

Just to be sure. 9 shots he survives, right? It's the 10th that kills him?

that would've been crazy cool

should've had a super easy difficulty "I Smell Pussy"

@@RoboitoAM Screw you man, i was eating my dinner and you just making me choked

This would be so great tho

Don't you forgett the "Fire in the motherfucking hole bitches!". Another amazing quote.

Perfect metaphor for getting some good head 🍸

My brother-in-law and I still quote it regularly. It's nice to know it isn't just us.

‘That doesn’t seem physically possible.’ ‘That’s exactly what Jimmy kept screaming!’ ‘THIS DOESN’T SEEM PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE!!!’

can you tell me why THQ insisted to work with Nickelodeon?, it would be great to shed a light in this topic.

@@rohgadriscol I sort of can, but the THQ × Nickelodeon partnership started before he worked there. So please don't take this as like the authoritative source! So for background, Nickelodeon's parent company was Viacom and when it was time to make video game tie-ins, games were either contracted out or developed internally at a Viacom studio. But the Viacom studio was eventually shut down due to poor sales. THQ used to be in the toy business (they were known as Toy Head Quarters before shortening to THQ). So they had developed relations with companies like Nickelodeon. And since they were moving more into games, they were a company Nick contracted out to. Somewhere in the same time, THQ was also grabbing up other licenses, including at the time the WWE (WWF technically since that was mid 90s?) THQ's tie in brand games were ultimately really successful, which in turn was profitable for the companies who owned the IPs. So it wasn't that THQ insisted on working with Nickelodeon, it was more the other way around mixed with join interest. THQ at this point at the end of the 90s was one of the biggest game publishers. And Nickelodeon knew THQ was successful at handling their IPs and by giving THQ first rights / a master contract for their IPs it was easier to get games made quickly and out the door alongside shows and movies. (Think like how Jimmy Neutron had tie ins for every platform rushed out alongside the movie.) Also, this way Viacom saw this as a way to save money by not having to handle development internally, since their own studio was closed down and wouldn't need to be revived. You should still be able to find interviews, but this partnership is supposedly what kickstarted the creation of Tak. As THQ said they had huge success with original IPs and with Nickelodeon's on board they could do a new game / TV brand. THQ would put in a large amount of money and resources to make big hitting game and Nickelodeon would follow up with a heavily promoted show. Nickelodeon would hold the IP rights, but both companies would see shared revenue. That said, we all know how THQ was mismanaged into implosion. A lot of people working at or with the company had no idea it was about to go bankrupt until the company went public with it. So other companies had already bought the rights to THQ's IPs and contracts, with Activision Blizzard going for the Nickelodeon contract. Supposedly they saw it as easy money, as in put a little bit of money into a rushed tie in and make big bucks since they would be big name IPs. My friend mentioned once that he and his coworkers were told at the very last minute they would lose their jobs. So a lot of them tried to move with the projects to other companies. He was in talks to move with the South Park game (The Stick of Truth), but it went to Ubisoft and apparently they said no to him and others.

@@HighwaterTrousers one more question, do you know about the project InSane from Volition?, i discovered recently about this and it says guillermo del toro was going to be involved.

I don't know if or when this comment will reach you but...Do you or your friend know anything about Juiced 2? More specifically, what went wrong with its development that caused it to be such a letdown compared to the first game, from the questionable driving physics to what can only be described some rather baffling design choices, not to mention the plethora of unused content still in the game files (several custom items such as rims and bodykits, and even a whole car)? If there's any story to be told behind any of that, I'd be genuinely interested to hear it.

The fact that he needed a game made of him and demanded a helicopter in the game simply because his son thought it would be cool, goes to show just how ego driven he is

that b*tch took his skull. that's what happened

Also 50 cent: ....or die trying

Bitch took it

And in another sense, you could also argue that a young kid who plays games like that would be the best judge of fun-ness because he's probably not going to suck up, and would be more reflective of a target demo than some specially certified play tester. Completely disregards the previous design allowances and analysis process, but it's a pretty solid devils advocate strategy

It was so much fun. I never played the first one though.

The first one sold well but critics shit on it. The second one got praised more but didn't sell.

I only played the first one and, at the time, figured the sequel would just be more of the same. I wasn't much of a fan, thought it was a little too repetitive. Might have to give Blood On The Sand the ol' college try

@@nothingandnowherebuthere The first one I remember being very successful with my high-school friends back in the day, "gansta" culture, music, movies and games (even shitty games like 25 to life) became very popular for a brief time where I live (Not the US).

@@GenesHand I assume south london?

There's an interview where he mentions he got an $80mill check. The interviewer responds :"why are you still working?" 50" that's the kind of talk that made me leave my ex wife" Dude is a legend with his work.

@@thecunninlynguist I mean he sold 4 concurrent spin off shows for Power to Stars. He’s essentially the only one producing successful shows for Stars

Despite me being disappointed on how power ended, I'll praise the man for somehow milking three sideoffs from it. Then he works on BMF as well. Dude puts it work for sure

@@TheArtunism You could actually make the argument that 50 cent is the most impressive TV executive currently working. It sounds crazy when you say it out loud. But, there's a valid argument to be made for it when you consider how much he has on television and how quickly he did it.

Let's not forget his vitamin water deal and finessing the court into thinking he was broke after a lawsuit lol 50 is always hustling wish he didn't fall off with the music.

Bitcoin was a thing back then? .. holy shit!

@@plasmaoctopus1728 lol so I'm not totally sure when and where he started accepting Bitcoin payments for it, but that is something he said he did from his twitter account!

@@lowtech42 hey it checks out, crypto was a thing since at least 2009, I was just surprised because I feel like I only really heard much about it until 2012ish

The good ol before times when bitcoin was basically only used to get drugs shipped to us on Silk Road;-;7

@@plasmaoctopus1728 Yeah, I remember "The Olden Days" when Bitcoin was just an untraceable way to buy shady things from shady people online.

oh I hope this happens

Ooh. That sounds interesting

Wait didn't THQ make/publish this???

@@SummerS95-12 watch the video lmao

Very interesting!!! Let’s make it happen.

It's a nice change of pace that the dev team didn't seem to be abused or crunched or dealing with bad office conditions during the main dev cycle. Just good planning, well thought out and professional game development, for once

I love how "Let's randomly stick a rapper into all of our Middle East assets built for an unrelated game" turned out to just be a perfectly fine, practical choice. Honestly, they should probably make a cheesy action movie of it.

To sum this statement up: "Give Fitty Jr. his damn helicopters."

Truth be told the kid was right but it was too late into development. Variety in games are good.

I'd buy them for (half) a dollar! (if they were)

@@LoneWindtheWolf how about tree fiddy?

@@Estorium is that exact or about tree fiddy?

They were, eventually. You could find them used at gamestop, in one of those manila paper cd sleeves, stacked among an alarming amount of shovelware.

My thanks and respect for your work in video game journalism, Mr. Smith.

Thank you for bringing this moment of hilarity to all of our lives.

I'm pretty sure the humor is 100% intentional.

I always wondered, does 50 and g unit actually have great sense of humor or are they the butt of the joke. Either way i love this game, but couldnt finish the 1st one.

@@jsb1944 well from his interviews, 50 cent seems to like joking around and trolling a lot.

@@jsb1944 50 is a huge troll especially when beefing go watch the diss videos he made on fat Joe and Rick Ross lol

There might be a power game

A new challenger approaches. "Bitch took my skull!"

Nintendo, you heard the six-year-old. 50 Cent in Smash. Now make it happen!

It was waaay more fun than bulletproof

Well, seeing what Ubisoft did to the Tom Clancy brand, I think Ludlum would be glad that his name wasn't desecrated

People complained about the name. It actually dissuaded them to click on the series. The change also now makes it easier for search results.

Didn't even notice but to add to what Matt said, I actually avoided videos with that title cause it just seemed like another youtuber trying too hard to be funny. (no disrespect meant) I found a channel like that just yesterday, dude was over-reacting to every little thing. Anyways eventually I watched one of Matt's and ended up binging a good chunk of his channel.

@@MattMcMuscles With search results, this makes sense. It's sad that the name dissuaded people - It didn't dissuade me, but that's probably because I knew Matt already.

I, personally, sometimes use the Wha Happun and What Happened titles interchangeably, but I often stick to the latter since, as Matt said, it's easier to look up videos with that title. Also, has anyone else here noticed that Matt has updated the thumbnails of some of the older What Happened episodes so that they now have the updated name of the show and the use of Matt's current avatar? As of this writing, the Daikatana, Sonic 06, Resident Evil 6, and the first Fallout 76 video-among a few others-have been updated in this fashion, and I reckon Matt will eventually update even more of the older What Happened thumbnails this way. I guess it's being done to help with the current branding of the show, which is pretty neat in my book!

I didn't notice either, it'll always be Wha Happun in my heart

I can't believe saying "there is a swear button" is the one thing that has sold this franchise to me.

He did say he's open to a third game

It’s actually a good game

Nah just reboot def jam

I can't wait for Eminem Kart Racer to come out

@@thedarkderp2520 Remaster Fight for New York. That game was the GOAT.

@@Blackpapalink While it would be cool, the common thing is that it would be a licensing minefield nowadays :(

" Big Punisher and Fat Joes " Deli Meat Diabetes Deathmatch" dropping soon...

Was that a reference to her dui? Cause if so that’s dated and corny af.

​@@theitfactorjameswheezer2852 This was back in 2005 when the game came out.

It’s no surprise given that Unreal 3 shipped to developers with sample projects based on Gears of War. You kinda had to develop Gears out of it if you wanted to make something different.

Boondocks reference. Love it.

@@4everSolidSnake I have a taste for the classics.

that's not really true. The game got a 70ish average, which is what it should get. Like the developer of the game said themselves, 50's stock was way, way down in 2009.

Uh, not sure why he would? Because recording VO like that is incredibly common. Being in music, he would have access to a professional recording studio. You'd expect him to fly 7 hours everytime to record new lines?

Many more people are. Ive had multiple people tell me the goofy spelling made them stay away from the show

@@MattMcMuscles Gee whiz your goofiness is why I love ya!

I heard there was a prequel to the story of fight for NY, not sure of if it's true or not though.
