Why did it fail? It did everything right.
>>737333816Hey, you, looking at the screen. Let me ask you a question. Do you like awesome things that are awesome?
>>737333816Game looked like shit. One of the most horrendous 2.5D art direction I've ever seen.Makes the New Super Mario Bros series look like Cuphead.
>>737334352The concept art looked so good too.
>>737333816conman didn't get enough gibs
>>737333816It didn't work. Like we can nitpick on art direction or level design all day. but what really matters is that it launched broken. Playstation version was laggy and unstable. the co-op modes were unplayable. It was a disaster.
Kickstarter games shilled as "from the creators of a classic game" are always a scam because they don't have the level/gameplay designers who actually made these classic games good
>>737334739I remember this picture, along with like a picture of Beck turning into a bulldozer. It was stupid putting early concept art on a Kickstarter like that, but it seems like they didn't even try to make the actual game like that art.
>>737333816serious answer>too many delays for online feature that no one uses because it was too unstable because they were using EU3 which epic has ended its support for UE4>that awful trailer that shat on their audience>hiring feminist to be their community manager which resulted in banning most of their backers>because they banned their actual backers, any actual criticism during production were ignored because no one pointed them out>the feminist was hired because she was dating one of the devs which clearly infected the core studio as well>"it's better than nothing" comment which was uttered by the translator ruined any good will studio has because it made people think it was said by keiji inafune during livestream to celebrate the release of the game
>>737333816>Why did it fail?>producer bite more than what he could chew>multiple systems release (lol multiplat everything is good)>Unreal EngineThat's pretty much it>>737334739>>737337909With work this could've done but the trainwreck was off rails by then
