What's the biggest lie ever told by a developer or publisher?

He's gone dark since Godus.

"16 times more...."

>Todd Howard is still lying to people
>Peter got shunned out of the industry from his lies
Todd is probably the winner.

In the end, John Romero didn't make us his bitches.

It's not nearly as offensive though because you just knew never to believe anything that came out of his mouth. That said despite all his lying a lot of his games were great. More than you can say for the other two in OPs pic

Everything about Fallout 76.

People will get a second job to buy a PS3.

SUCK IT DOWN MONKEY FUCKS!

Todd is the only one with 100 speech and Max charisma so he could probably eat a baby on stage during e3 and talk his way out of it. That said, Molyneux is the biggest liar, Todd at least doesn't lie on purpose, he just gets too excited and thinks far beyond a scope he can back up, Molyneux just bullshitted for the sake of it

I believe he intended to have that in but couldn't due to EAs imposed time limit.

Peter was overly ambitious. He sold you on an idea before he tried to implement it.

>We won't eventually fire everybody with talent and replace them with social justice warriors that care more about preaching radical leftist talking points than crafting a good game

I mean to be fair, that is correct, The lighting got a full overall rework which requires textures to be rendered with a different lightmass causing a spike in detail

Sounds like a good excuse to post the time Borderlands was the Game Informer cover story.

Mr. Onions went out with a big one with nu-males sky, but he's small time compared to the lies overlord that is Molyneux. Jury's out on Todd, he's getting pretty high up there in lying but he has a long road ahead if he wants to beat Molyneux.

(Page 3 was just the other half of the art from page 2, I'll go back and post it if anyone cares when I'm done with the actual story)
Note that it says the bandits hijacking the mining machine would be "akin to a futuristic pirate ship battle" and there are only 3 playable characters listed, and yes, it was planned to be 4 player coop at the time.

Borderlands really significantly changed from its first reveal.

...

I've never been able to find it, but I specifically remember reading an interview where someone said there'd be a gun that shot bees. I was so disappointed.

Note Mordecai would have met bloodwing over the course of the story, Roland looks totally different and Lilith has Commandant Steele's design. Talks about tracking device guns and procedurally generated levels.
Are you sure you aren't thinking of Bioshock 1 with its bee plasmid?

Molyneux is just a heads in the clouds dreamer.
His ideas are good, and he wants them to be real and gets ahead of himself when he starts talking and then can't deliver. He deceives himself, not us.

Scythids would have been able to knock people out of their vehicles "Players will never see a single loading screen once they've entered the game" and talks about enemies having significantly different AI, with bandits ignoring cover and Crimson Lance coordinating movement and aiming down sights (I think this actually was partially in the final game, though they're certainly talking it up)

Molyneux is a senile old artist who dreams big, but delivers small. His issue is not one of malice, but of mistakes.

Sean Murray tasted gold and went in over his head. Humble indie dev starts mainstaging E3, and Sony wants to deliver big. Your studio floods, you bullshit on Conan, you fuck up, end of story.

Todd? Not Todd motherfucking Howard. There was nothing, NOTHING accidental about Fallout 76. You really think he went up on stage with a sincere, earnest belief in what he said? That the team he fucking owns just somehow forgot to add in actual NPCs? That the man who oversees and produces these games somehow misinterpreted the actual scope of the project? This sly dog was lying through his teeth the entire time. You see it in the flowery, ultimately unaccountable language, in his charisma and ability to sway a crowd. All of it is deliberate and calculated. He may have had a vision, once, years and years ago. But these days he's nothing but a snake oil salesman, and a good one at that.

>industry veteran unable to comprehend contract dictated time constraints that are common in said industry while working on third game in series from same company

People really need to stop white knighting for grown adults.

Nah, 100% remember it being about Borderlands, because it was accompanied by a screenshot of the Wave Shotgun being fired.

Talks about every piece of equipment affecting your character's appearance "Even if there are some repeated characters in your party (because there's only 3 characters in a 4 player game) everyone will be wearing different armor and helmets anyway, so it's not like you'll have to worry much about the clone trooper effect"

Attached: Cover 7.jpg (2550x3507, 3.06M)

"Your choices matter."

AI squadmates with a variety of classes like medic and sniper, with simple squad commands. Suggests some light stealth elements saying you don't have to worry about your AI squadmates accidentally alerting enemies to your position, with the ability to give them equipment and decide how they level up. One of the passive bonuses (I don't remember what they became in 1 but in 2 it was Badass points) was jump distance. AI would be able to drive for you. "The AI actually understands the terrain it's driving on, as well as what type of things equal cool"

Attached: Cover 8.jpg (2550x3507, 3.88M)

Much more extensive vehicle customization including wheel types and thousands of turret types, including one vehicle type which would transform while driving if you got to high speeds.

I hate you for reminding me of a game we will never get

Last page's file size is too large whoops, I'll shrink it in a moment here's Todd Howard's Final Fantasy pitch and his "dream project"

Attached: Todd Howard's Final Fantasy.png (1130x967, 2.23M)

Jason Todd isn't the Arkham Knight, the AK is an original character. Also Joker won't be in the game

People were all fucking idiots when it came to No Man's Sky. For years, they kept putting out trailers with nothing going on, and then they finally talked about the game and how there would be 17 kajillion planets or whatever, and everyone was still wondering what the fuck you actually do, then for some reason right before release, everyone got excited for it when nothing was exciting about it. Then everyone was let down when their hopes shouldn't have been up in the first place. It was completely baffling. I know Sean lied nonstop about the game, but even if all his lies were true, its still boring.
Molyneux had his heart in the right place but couldn't push it far enough, I feel like he was really trying but I still don't like him.
Todd can eat a fucking dick.

And now the same thing I just explained about NMS is about to happen with Kojima and Death Stranding.

Their actual game engine hasn't improved since dagerfall to morrowind. They've been using the same one for every single game since.

if you were a dev how would you deliver the sweet little lies to your playerbase/consumers

id make them go on excessively autistic hunts for content that doesnt exist

Is that game good, I saw it on f95 and was curious, but I don't like .000001 versions of games.

Not him but it's actually very high quality, it's short though and it's pretty much dom stuff

>lol its time to pay 60$ for a snes rom because there are no developers left at the company and all the h1visa holder and their pink haired tranny managers know how to do is recycle existing ip's and content

I mean, it's pretty obvious what's going on now a days. 10 years ago Yea Forums would trash talk any company that tries to release a rom hack as a 'new game' for full price as being REHASHIN FAGGOTS but now pretty much every company is doing it because they lack the technical expertise to create new series/new games.

It's a decent single fight, you could wait until they add more though, but yeah it's pretty high quality stuff

Concerning the quantity of lies, this is true. For the quality of a lie, maybe Bioware in regard to Anthem (2017 reveal versus final product). BW managed to make their previous galactic train wreck, ME:A, look like a 10/10 in comparison. I'm biased, though, because I'm addicted to reading article-after-article about new ways Anthem is disappointing everyone. Anthem is a phenomenon of a disaster.

The final one does and that's it

>kikes and their obsession with feces

why

Don't forget Mass Effect's multiple endings that won't just be "a, b, c" and will be molded from every choice you ever made in every game boiling down to R/G/B and the last words in the trilogy being "downloadable content".

Attached: ME3_DLC_Message.jpg (600x338, 17K)

Because what remains of their tribe are those who reject God, and thus revel in filth of all kinds.

No Man's Sky releasing without any multiplayer still boggles my mind.

Please understand.

Which one of these two was murdered worst by EA? Dead Space or Mass Effect?

Making gamu IS hard though

Dead Space has 2 great games so that was a bigger loss

Dead Space had more potential.
Mass Effect had some interesting things, but it ultimately showed that they had no interest in pursuing those aspects even from the first game.

>he didn't played sigil
he did deliver in the end.

I feel like morrowind and oblivion were too much successful for their own good, after that Todd knew that anything he shat out would be turned into gold so he did minimal effort on everything and lied like crazy knowing his cock would get sucked in the end

He started lying since Oblivion. Remember RADIANT AI?

Fun fact: he actually talked about this being in effect and said AIs would just randomly start killing each other and by the time the player arrives, all the NPCs are dead so he had to neuter the system

Mass Effect died to incompetence, Dead Space was outright sabotaged.

>lies
If there were lies it'd be okay. The problem is Chris Roberts really actually wants his game to have everything, and insists on making devs do impossible features. Just read about some of the development.

Didn't Ed Boon do that in the 90s?

>Pikmin 4 is almost done
Why Miyamoto...

INFINITE QUESTS

Saying that there would be multiplayer in NMS and then there being none was pretty awful. I'm surprised they didn't get sued for false advertisement.

Dead Space was the same game 3 times. They blew their load on the first game.

Mass Effect created an interesting world, filled with believable civilizations and plausible sci-fi and then fucking destroyed it in the dumbest way possible.

>he picks the thing that wasn't a lie
Radiant quests user.

>Interesting world, believable civilizations
That only existed in the text-files. And this is a game with "Race of bisexual blue-chicks."
