What Went Wrong with Hello Neighbor 2? Apparently quite a lot, with the promise of AI working on a Neural Network that wasn't in the game, an open world sandbox that turned out to be linear, lacking content, broken DLC (Back to School and Late Fees), the Guest missing and a rough launch.
Regardless of it's flaws and all the drama, Hello Neighbor 2 isn't a terrible game. Alpha 1 and Alpha 1.5 of Hello Neighbor 2 had some promising features and it's a shame that they were cut from the full game.
Compared to the original Hello Neighbor, this is objectively much better even more so now with patches released in the past few months. It's not perfect but I can only hope that they can make good on the broken promises and deliver more with future updates.

Tinybuild correctly estimated its target audience, which is why it focussed on youtubers whose viewership primarily included children (like Markiplier etc). What it couldn't predict was that Hello Neighbor also had appealed to a bunch of 40 year olds that had mannerisms and playing habits of children. Which is why their ratings went down.

Fr, the "it's for kids, it doesn't have to be as good" is such a BS argument.

Plus by making something good they can significantly expand beyond the original target demographic

First thing that comes to mind is Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go. Both are made for kids, but while one is loved by people of all ages, and made the Teen Titans and its members a household name, the other is hated. Making quality content, though difficult, can build a large and strong fan base that will help keep your IP alive for decades.

"regardless of demographic, quality still matters" THANK YOU! I hate hearing people use "it's just for kids" as an excuse for poor quality. Yeah, kids media probably shouldn't be held to the exact same standards as something made for an adult audience, but that doesn't mean it has a free pass to be straight up terrible. Just because kids are more likely to accept a poor quality experience, doesn't mean they don't deserve something better.
@Vii-rb9vp
@Vii-rb9vp 3 месяца назад
well you could probably argue that kids media should be held to a HIGHER standard than adult media, since kids are much more impressionable than adults so if you feed kids garbage content, it has much more dramatic affects than if u fed it to an adult.
@portobeIIa
@portobeIIa Месяц назад
kids media being kids media just means that it will delve on different themes than adult media. puberty, friendship, loss, honesty. there wont be, at least i hope not, a breaking bad adaptation made for kids because the themes of the show are so inherently adult (dissatisfaction with career, family life, basically a mid life crisis). im not even talking about gore and sexual things happening. when you realise that it all makes sense that you can still very well mess up delving into kids themes and making bad quality media as well as good quality. regardless of western marketing tactics that taint kids media, obligating it all to be the samey bright colored jizz, the inner workings of a show can be just a complex regardless of which quadrant it's aimed at. if you do it well enough, you suddenly are hitting all 4 quadrants of audiences. look at what happened to the first toy story, heck even bluey and my little pony to an extent.
@axios4702
@axios4702 Месяц назад
If anything stuff made for kids should have a higher quality. An adult can be expected to absentmindedly consume media but children are sponges, a good work of art could influence them their whole life, feeding them terrible stuff can't be good.
@poppythedogofwonders
@poppythedogofwonders День назад
Disagree. Kids content should be held to a much higher standard than adult's media, kids are easily moulded by their experiences and the type of media they consume can effect that. Due to this, kids media should be held in a much stricter standard of quality than adult's media.

I can’t get over how every Neighbor game is not only promising more during pre-alphas and alphas, but actively delivering on it. Like, I remember that in Neighbor 1 they promised a localized version of that Neighbor AI- he’d watch how you escape/invade and the next round it would be harder to do that thing. And during the playthroughs of the first iteration I watched, he was already pretty good at it! But despite that being the thing people were excited about, they decided to go the LoRe HeAvY route and tanked the rest. This time… there isn’t even really an excuse? It was promised, heavily advertised, and some features already mostly worked and then they just… vanished.

With the current state of the gaming industry being, “shove out garbage and fix it later only once we’ve raked in the money from suckers for it,” I can’t be too surprised. Disappointed, yes, but not surprised. It’s why I’ve largely backed myself off from AAA releases to just Switch ports and indie games, unless I learn that a AAA release actually didn’t suck ass for once. (And with the… _thing_ that Hello Neighbor has become, I think we can pretty safely call it a AAA title, now.)

The Guest should have been the overarching villain that even the Neighbor is afraid of. That would put an interesting twist on the Neighbor’s constant renovations and adding puzzles, he was trying to keep the Guest out. Plus it would have been an interesting dynamic with the day/night cycles, during the day, the Neighbor is the prime antagonist and in the night, the Guest is the one that is the bigger threat.

@nihili4196 Год назад
I feel like this is very much just priority shift internally. First Hello Neighbor had similar problem. Originally it was supposed to be a game centered around very smart AI that would be learning, with game having some amounts of plot hidden. But then it slowly shifted towards platformer with physics engine not optimized for that, with plot so convoluted and abstract, FNaF makes more sense, and with AI just being there, more annoying than threatening. It's wasn't caused by shift in leadership. It's a problem this studio always had. They have an idea, make an alpha that's almost working game, get bored, make beta that's focusing on different things, get bored again, create "full" release that's trying to barely connect both previous versions in a way that doesn't work, then focus on yet another thing. This isn't "perfect is enemy of good", this is "I have an idea, let me work on it only for as long as I see it fun, then I'll move to other things"

@Horvath_Gabor Год назад
@@nihili4196 I think it's even simpler than that. They started out with a break-in hide-and-seek game with smart AI, which is easier the less variables there are, so the early Alphas with a small house worked, and it got popular because of the streamer-sphere lapping it up. Then, they tried to expand the game and realized that the bigger the house got and the more variables they added, the faster and more often the AI broke down, so they pivoted, recognizing that the "franchise" is built on streamer-hype. By the time of the full release, it was no longer about whether the game itself was good or not, but whether it was weird, quirky, and "mysterious" enough to draw in said streamers and the Game Theory crowd. It's actually eerily similar to the FNaF franchise, as both are pretty mediocre and oftentimes broken games carried entirely by the online hype-train generated on Twitch and publicity stunts, and as much as we complain, it apparently works.

While it's not a horror game, Sonic Adventure manages to pull off the monster chasing you idea pretty well. It has levels where Amy is chased by a giant robot trying to capture her, and you have to hide from it. You're allowed to hit it over the head, making it short circuit for a few seconds, giving you time to escape, but too many hits makes it invincible. There are even a couple of well done jumpscares, and I think jumpscares are the worst form of horror, so I'm impressed with how they handled it there.

I always liked the idea that the guest and the neighbor were opposites, with the neighbor being slow but conniving and hard to phase, while the guest is fast and reckless but easily knocked over. The Neighbor would rather set up traps for a guaranteed victory rather than commit to a chase which will stop people who try to outsmart or outfight him, but opens the opportunity to simply run away since he's not able to keep up with a fast player. The Guest on the other hand would chase on sight, crashing into walls in pursuit of their target, which would be too fast for simple "run for your life" strategies to work, but hes easily outsmarted and is tripped up by a good box toss.

But, according to the books, the Guest is the Neighbor. Our favorite crow costume was being worn by Mr Peterson. Also, in the ending of Hello Neighbor 2 Alpha 1, we see the Neighbor outside the house when we grab the smaller Crow Costume from the attic. How did he know? The only people in the house at the time were you and the Guest. The Guest was the only person or creature to see you walk into the attic. However, Mr Peterson knew that you went into the attic too. How? Because Mr Peterson is the Guest. Mr Peterson is the one wearing the Crow Costume. Also, I’m not gonna use the trailer to say that Mr Peterson is the Guest, because the trailer is the trailer and it doesn’t matter.

I've never seen a developer so keen on throwing away substantial amounts of work just to end up with a much more shallow product than they started with. The pre-alpha concept seemed like potential brilliance - taking place in a theme park, having a job to manage while dealing with a stalker and a mystery to solve. Then they decide to... Get rid of that and just re-tread the first game's concept again. But in fairness, it seemed like they were moving the concept forward, changing the puzzles, the stalker behavior, and the consequences for failure. And once again, they ditch that to just end up with a very iterative result that is just the original game but somewhat bigger. I'm fully aware that sometimes you need to cut your losses if executing an idea is more trouble than you can afford, but this really seems like they just radically changed their minds partway through development, like they expected the game wouldn't sell as well if it wasn't more of the same.

Well, I mean, look at how game trends have been going: it wasn’t that long ago that we were all getting sick of battle royales because the market was absolutely oversaturated with the damn things. Loot boxes have essentially become commonplace in games, in spite of all the backlash against them. Nobody bats an eye at DLC anymore if it’s not horrendously egregious, and people used to hate that shit. Now games from yesteryear are being remade, in many cases for no good reason, to avoid having to put effort into a brand new title. Sadly, if Hello Neighbor didn’t do more of the same, the sequel very well might NOT have sold.

@@ghoulchan7525 I think if you’re developing a game where the main appeal is solving a mystery, you should avoid early release like the plague, or at least avoid giving too many clues that could potentially spoil the big reveal. Otherwise you have to keep adding layers to the mystery to stay one step ahead of the early access players, which is only feasible if you come up with a bunch of red herrings to keep them occupied. If you reveal the actual clues during early access, the only reason people will have to buy the full release version is to see the final solution, which will be spoiled the instant someone records a RU-vid video about it, and will probably disappoint them anyway because by then they’ll have spent far more time speculating about it than you ever did, and come up with an solution they like more than the one you wrote.

I think they should've leaned into the Hello Guest idea. They clearly want a level of "grandness" with these games, resulting in bigger houses, and now MULTIPLE houses. Meanwhile, the amusement park idea lends itself well to a larger, more detailed setting, without requiring the devs to come up with multiple characters and spend time creating visually diverse, cramped quarters for the AI and player to navigate. The "end of shift" mechanic seems cool too- The store in allows the player to work towards getting a few key items to mess with, without needing to spend time aimlessly searching. An amusement park at night also fits the whimsical yet dark tone the games dip their toes into, and by extension gives the game a bit more identity- especially with the Guest around. It's so strange to me that they hit gold and, for some reason, threw it away to spend time working on multiple houses instead. Not to say the final game's idea couldn't have worked, but they had already started on Hello Guest, so why not just finish that and then move onto Hello Neighbor 2? Their final idea was just too ambitious with little benefit.

I find it funny that, in this franchise, both the alphas and the spin-offs are better received than the final versions of the main games. Hide & Seek, Secret Neighbor, and even the Engineer game are, at worst, harmless fun, and often better than that, and the books and cartoon aren’t half-bad. And, of course, the alphas of the main games are incredibly well received.

They could probably turn it into difficulty levels. Anything is better than what they have now. The entire game is pure ass but the AI is truly the worst part. Because there is none. All they do is randomly choose from a minuscule list of tasks, walk over to the specified location for said task, and do it for a specified amount of time. They will immediately chase you once you come into line of sight, and that's the extent of their AI. If you ever break line of sight the AI pretty much immediately shuts down and reverts back to its previous task. What a garbagefire of a game.

The idea of the Neighbor learning from the entire community's play styles sounds to me like a way to make the game not fun REALLY fast - within days, the AI would be too good, getting around it would be impossible. How is that a selling point? I mean, the fact that it was falsely advertised is bad, but how it ever generated buzz instead of putting people OFF from wanting to try it is beyond me. When I play a game, I want to know I at least have a chance of beating it, and the neural network learning model would eliminate any chance of that within maybe two weeks tops. How would that be fun? "Hey everyone, this AI will be too smart to beat a month after this game goes live, doesn't that sound cool?!" No. No it does not, it sounds annoying and frustrating and the opposite of fun. Can someone explain how this idea got people excited? Please?

Yeah, after a while the game would be incredibly hard. And any player coming in later would face unbeatable odds. Now a learning enemy within the playthrough is nice. The neighbor getting better and learning and reacting to your strategies? Sure. But if the enemy learns from other people's playthroughs that happened way earlier? You end up with a game that gets progressively harder without a progressively improving community of players. Imagine if you start to play CS and you are instantly in LE matchmaking and have to win those matches to continue.

The "neural network plus algorithms" thing sounds to me like it's inspired by Alien: Isolation. The Alien has its predetermined paths and strategies, and if the player hides in a lot of vents, the probability of the Alien looking into vents increases. Which is not really a neural network, and likely a marketing buzz word in the case of Hello Neighbor 2? The main difference being that these probabilities are shifted not by a single player, but by all of them. Which, in the long run, probably has the sole benefit of filtering out hiding places and escape routes that no player uses in the first place.
@Arctem
@Arctem Год назад
Also having an AI that actually runs via neural network for this kind of game is a comically stupid idea. Even ignoring the sheer amount of training data you would need, which likely outnumbers the amount of times players would play the game, the *best* case scenario is that you get an AI so insanely good that the vast majority of players don't stand a chance. And that's assuming it actually works. Neural networks for game AI are mostly a cool research project, not something to actually use in a game. There's no benefit to them over a standard behavior tree that can tweak the probabilities of certain actions (like you mention Alien: Isolation doing) and you're adding in all the complexities and nuances and general hassle that comes with training a neural network onto your existing game project. Plus whenever you change something about the game you're going to have to throw out a lot of your training data because it's useless, adding even more chaos to the project.

The development process for their games is definitely the most bizarre to me, since I've never really seen it before. They make an alpha showing off some puzzles and features, all that have very solid foundations. The next alpha, instead of polishing those puzzles off in some way, and then adding more, they instead move the goalposts. Instead of expanding the number of objectives, they make the distance between those objectives LONGER without preserving anything that made them functional. If they were worried about people getting bored because they know all the answers, then they should just do what any other game does... restrict the alpha's content until the final release.

The thing is, that tiny build can make a coherent designed game. Graveyard keeper is actually a very good pixel art/indie game with a lot of charm. Very grindy at late game, but still good.

From what little I know I'm pretty convinced it's a perfectly normal dev company that was corrupted by the ideas of "We could be the next FNaF!" and tumbled downhill ever since.

Graveyard keeper is a game I LOVE. It’s bizarre to think they also made this mess.

They also made No Time to Explain, which is actually pretty good, how did they make this mess?!

tinybuild for all its issues, is willing to give anyone they think is passionate a chance which while it has its problems, is at least admirable they wanna encourage more devs to just go full force, and if they...just so happen to be major hits, they get alot of profit for little its not a bad business strategy and helps PR at the same time hello neighbor is just one of the ones thats less quality, graveyard was quality (other then the DLCs iirc)

It's like they made multiple games. Each game getting a more and more overcomplicated map and overly complicated puzzles. Like- Hello Guest sounds like a fun and simple game with some interesting concepts. The first Hello Neighbour 2 build seemed to have some really cool features with the whole drag mechanics- it looked like it put a lot of focus on the little bird dudes mechanics. Then it kinda looks like they started doing what they did with the first game- expanding out the maps to the point where the AI's aren't really able to keep up with it and either isn't updated or get's features cut out. Bummer- I really liked the Guest's design.

Thank you for pointing out that interview with the CEO. It really sheds some light on what a contributing factor to the game's poor quality is. He did what was right, and put his employees' safety first. That's earned my respect.
