It’s sweet that you gave credit to Scott Johnson! People like him deserve more credit 😊

[ardentfebrio]

"cause its funny" has led to the best decisions in game development

[Poyostar]

Great to see Scott Johnson be given the credit he truly deserves here; the Morph Ball is such a big part of Metroid Prime, so it's shocking that he isn't specifically credited for his work on that part of the game!

this channel went from repeating info to literally discovering breakthroughs its insane

Scott Johnson, the true hero of Metroid Prime
Not all heroes wear Varia Suits.

[SnaksiXD]

Scott ran, so that Metroid couldn't crawl... 🫡

[kevinboutwell]

I love how so much is just "I saw it on TV and thought it was cool."

[They_are_Arthur]

11:33 That's such a frank way to port games. A simple "we don't want them buying the competitor." Honestly pretty cool.

[RotatingPlatypus]

As much as I love all of the mario kart games, Double Dash's drift mechanics have been pure perfection since conception. I've won multiple tournaments, dodging blue shells with drifting alone. No other mario kart can compare to DD.

9:13 I think they really perfected this philosophy in RE4 when Leon backflipped off the door instead of just backing up like a normal person

[DylanYoshi]

Shinji Mikami's statement on what Resident Evil's design philosophy is everything modern Resident Evil is missing. Every mainline RE game since 5 (arguably 4 but I think 4 is a little closer to that original style) has been all about fighting enemies rather than choosing whether you want to risk fighting them or not. RE7 disempowers the player more, but you're pretty much forced to kill every common enemy because they chase you to the ends of the earth if you don't- It still feels like an action game moreso than a survival game.

[Luchingador]

Heres a new tid bit of info about Prime, apparently Tomy Tallarico coded the entire game hand on hand with miyamoto. His mom is very proud.

[Supersayainpikmin]

My dad told me about Grizzley as a kid, about it being a Jaws rip off. He also told me that the production company for the movie was being sued, and the founder fled with 1 million dollars and was never heard from again. His name was Edward Montoro.

[bigbetsdrumming]

Funny, I was a flyer between Germany and Japan in the early 2000s! Moved to Germany in 2001 and got a GameCube while living there.

[shadhog]

that was very smart of Scott to consider torque. going faster decreases your angular velocity.
surprised 3d sonic never incorporated that. games in that series either have sonic feel too sensitive at top speed or too sluggish at slower speeds.

[xavierninetwofourfiveone]

The double dash mechanics were amazing. Wish theyd do another with similar mechanics.

[Tailstraw_xD]

Was that a "Y can't Metroid crawl?" Reference in 2024?

Well played, DYKG.

[JeremyMFer]

Scott Johnson is the hero I didn’t know I had.

[chemergency]

Those giant bananas are why I always pick Diddy or Donkey Kong as one of my racers in the single player modes. They're essential for slowing down the cheap rubber-banding AI at chokepoints and setting traps right before ledges on higher CC's. I usually pick one of the Koopas for my other racer so I get access to triple red shells too.

[Luigis_Menace]

I kid you not, I first laid eyes upon Grizzly a couple days ago when my step dad checked it out on Netflix. I was floored at what on Earth I was looking at. So to see it briefly show up in the intro flash banged the HECK outta me.
