It was almost a proto-God of War, since they decided to give it a pseudo-Greek setting instead of non-descript fantasy. There was a Wii port of it as well, but no one played that.

flavor.flv posted:Okay, show of hands, who here knew there was a Toejam and Earl 3? i've completed it more than twice, pretty sure i bought it at launch? i think it does a good job of combining elements of 1 and 2 while also doing it's own thing. "fun" TJ&E3 fact, if you go look up youtube videos about the dreamcast prototype, you'll probably see lots of people complaining about how bad the the xbox final is, and how they should have released "this one" instead. they are basically the same though. the level layouts are different but it's got all the same design choices and whatnot that are in the final game. also racism, probably. anti-funk indeed.

Sega was really pushing a lot of stuff onto the Xbox after the Dreamcast failed before they went fully multiplat. This was along with JSRF and Shenmue 2. I think Sega even proposed having the Xbox be backwards compatible with Dreamcast games lol.

And I feel like even besides the Sega games, a lot of the early Xbox 1 games have a sort of... 'feel' of the Dreamcast. Like that same sort of... for want of a better word, experimental and creative energy. Dunno how else to describe it. But like my friends and I have often jokingly called the Xbox the Dreamcast 2.

The part I learned later is that the game was supposed to be a tie-in to a movie, which was in development but never actually got made. Kind of a “Mario & Sonic at the 2020 Olympics” situation there.

And I think it being the least along in emulation of the three that generation has allowed it to keep that feeling since a lot of the less popular Xbox exclusives that haven't been ported or made back compatible don't get much revisitation.

The time from going gold to reaching store shelves was really fast. Two or three days was not unheard of. All of the packaging could be manufactured in advance so you'd just press the disk, drop it in the box, and seal it up.

Gaius Marius posted:They do this kinda thing cause the right holders sell the options to make Movies/TV to people contingent on the basis that they'll actually use it to make them both profit. If the studios decide they want to keep the rights, but don't expect it to make them real dosh they release that kind of nonsense to be within the letter of the contract. reminds me of that time FXX, released an awful pilot for Wheels of time in the middle of night with zero advertising just to fulfill contractual obligations.

I don't know if they found out that way, but the film was definitely promoted by sending them around to comic book conventions. I was at one where the guy who played the Thing walked around in costume for a while. Pablo Nergigante posted:It was produced by Roger Corman and quite frankly I was shocked to find out that he's still alive Last year in the Halloween film challenge, one of the bonus challenges was watch a film by a deceased director and I said it was the "How is Roger Corman still alive?" challenge.

In the last Video Game History Hour podcast about prototypes, Kelsey mentioned bidding for an undumped game ... and being outbid by someone else who was also buying it to dump the game and they weren't able to communicate it in time. Hope this hasn't happened again.
