One of the worst "proper" games I've ever played. So bad the developers actually publicly disowned it and flat out said it's terrible because it was micromanaged by incompetent Konami people. Rebellion aren't exactly great developers but they aren't THAT bad so I believe them when they say it's not their fault. The thing may have been made by a western dev but it feels exactly like a crap Jap game.

It had some interesting ideas, not executed very well.
it was done by the MGA director, so it was 100% going to be weird. guy is still at Konami, i would love him to do a MGA3, he was asked by Konami before but he wanted to do a break after Neverdead/

>micromanaged by incompetent Konami people.
the director was the Metal Gear Acid guy, so he wasn't incompetent.

According to Rebellion he was. The game wasn't fun. They kept telling him it wasn't fun. But that was the way he wanted it to be and so it was going to be that way. There was no way a Jap was going to take the advice of a gaijin! You don't actually think the game doesn't suck, do you?

From what i've found, this what was the Rebellion guy said
"...what we concentrated on with NeverDead was the graphics, the engine, the destructibility, all the technical side of things. What we didn't have any substantial input into at all were characterisation, script, and large elements of the way the gameplay rolled out over the game.

If you like, the elements I'm particularly proud of because we were involved, were the massive technical achievement to get the destructibility, which some reviewers haven't noticed because it's so seamlessly integrated and so functional. It just seems to work really well, that it's almost a given. If you compare it to the destructibility of other games, it's vastly superior.

Having said that, we had Shinta Nojiri embedded here for much more than a year, controlling a lot of the elements of content. He comes from a different culture. He's Japanese. We had a full-time translator with us. He was very much working from the Eastern methodology, the Japanese style of gameplay, and it created some really interesting creative tensions."

Seem to be the fault of both studios having troubles, and just that the game was a japanese game but worked by western devs who had troubles with japanese games.
