“[…] A pre-release build of the game sent to journalists included a scene where the slightly obnoxious shopkeeper character asks, “Did you just assume my banter?” It’s an attempted play on “Did you just assume my gender?” a question typically used as a transphobic joke. Someone pointed this out to Sabotage, and Brouard said the team quickly changed it before launch.”
“These are difficult times for a discussion sometimes. What it basically came to was somebody literally said, very politely, ‘You know what? This made me uncomfortable.’ And for me, it was like, ‘OK, that’s a good way of explaining to me that something we did made you feel uncomfortable. That’s not what we want.’ If it made one person uncomfortable from seeing a pre-release video, it means other people are going to be uncomfortable with that, and I don’t want that. We want the game to be as inclusive as possible. We want people to have fun, to remember how it was cool when they were kids playing games in their parents’ basement…

The switch to RTS was a totally idiotic move that sunk the whole game. And this is coming from a guy who enjoyed it and played it through to the end. The whole game should have been like the first quest to get Lemmy's bass strings (fitting that the best musician featured in that whole game should give the best quest) but more polished. They could have made it like Overlord but with more interesting/diverse minions, which is effectively what some half-ish of the game is. Instead they wasted a fuck load of development time with the RTS mode and the godawful, unnecessary multiplayer. Why?

If they didn't tease you with occasional glimmers of it being a Metal Album cover turned action adventure game, it would have been fine. However, because it switched back and forth, you were left with an undeveloped action game that forced you to play a half-baked RTS every so often. Also, the whole idea was really underdeveloped and it feels like the troubled developed, no doubt because of Mr Shitface, caused them to ditch and scrap assorted plotlines and potential ideas for the later end of the game. It seemed pretty obvious that the Brutal Legend world was a post-apocalyptic future, but instead, it was just nothing and Eddie isn't special at all, and it was all just an excuse for Mr Shitface to work with stars like Lemmy and Ozzy.

The story is that Double Fine wanted to make a multiplayer-only game but Activision thought it was a bad idea and made them make a single-player mode and an open-world one at that. So all the resources that would have gone into making the RTS mechanics tight (and the story being restricted to visual design and contextual dialogue), they made them build a whole big world and put a half-ass story on it. The multiplayer mode ended up being an afterthought, but the devs tried to make the story mode an overlong and padded tutorial for it.
>caused them to ditch and scrap assorted plotlines and potential ideas for the later end of the game
This happened (an entire faction was cut - the guy from the racing minigame was supposed to be playable), but it was mostly because of budget and time issues that arose after there were demands to make it open world. Bobby Kotick threw DF under the bus afterward but they never wanted to make an open world game in the first place. When they tried to make that part as non-shitty as possible, it turned out that they weren't given the resources to make what the studio wanted happen.
>and it was all just an excuse for Mr Shitface to work with stars like Lemmy and Ozzy.
This I don't know for sure, but budgetary stuff like celebrity voice actors is almost always a call made by the studio. I know that it was Mr Shitface's idea to get Jack Black (who's pretty willing to do stuff like this and not necessarily expensive) because they wanted Eddie to be based on him, but I think after he joined Activision probably thought it would be smart to put more budget toward celebrity cameos. Given how much of the advertising and press material focused on that, the studio obviously thought it was a/the major selling point.
>>16350019
>faggot prince
I think his entire character was made up for the story mode. Eddie was always supposed to lead Ironheade, but if he's from somewhere else they needed an explanation for who led those people before the demons took over. It's also the idea that Eddie is a roadie, so they need a star for him to support and the game's general theme of reclaiming lost glory. The prince was pretty useless though, and the only thing his death affected was that it made people sad for a while. And since Eddie assembles the army, gives them the name, and all that they might as well have left out the prince entirely. They probably just threw him in specifically so they can have the story beat where he dies.

Hostile Waters is a game that successfully incorporates RTS and third-person vehicular combat. At any point during the mission you can hop into any of the vehicles you designed and built and control them. Has great music and VA for the time and the story was written by Warren Ellis.
Sadly, it suffers from a lot of cut content and balancing issues that render most of the vehicles and weapons useless past a certain point.

Spore's various stages were lackluster in various ways and the primary cause was the simon says imitation game, of dance if I dance, sing if I sing that was intended to only amuse small children. They chose to go for the easily marketable younger age rather than teenagers or adults who wanted a decent sim game. As a result of the overall quality of the game fails. There wasn't anything especially wrong with the simplistic early stages but it really was a failure when space stage turned out to be equally moronic and repetitive. The terraforming and colonization mechanic was interesting but it needed more things to do late game to round it out so that the game would have been enjoyable for all ages.
