Take a shot every time Matt has to remind his audience that What Happened doesn’t JUST cover the bad commercial flops.

[emilysong]

That oh-so-glorious feeling when Matt shares a story about a game that went through development hell (and in this case, wound up being moved to another console entirely), but which still ended up being generally praised by critics and audiences alike when all was said and done!

[LJComposer]

I had no idea that the development was THIS convoluted. I never knew this was meant for PS3. Very interesting find!

[WheelieRex]

People are too mean to Emily. 😔 She is an absolutely perfect mean girl. "Understand the palm of my hand" is maybe the greatest line in the history of slasher media

[GenerationWest]

I love how Super Massive Games started out making Little Big Planet levels and Walking with Dinosaurs, to making Until Dawn (Probably the funnest games to platinum), Dark Picture Anthologies and The Quarry, all with well known actors and faces who were big before and after this.
One those underdog stories in gaming you love to see, but probably never knew about till now.

[mewmedic]

I really love the timing these episodes are dropped. Like a satuday morning cartoon.

[ichijofestival]

I'd actually also be interested in a What Happened about the entire "motion controlling 'revolution.'" I mean, I was there, I know most everything about it, I just think it'd be interesting to see the timeline laid out, and where it stands now. I certainly didn't want all of gaming to "evolve" in that direction, but I wish it would have broadened and survived as a "genre" perhaps of the industry.

[Meddadius]

I’ve found myself on another Until Dawn kick for the past few days, so this video couldn’t have been better timed. Thanks, Matt, for all your hard work and for continuing to be shaped like a friend!

[mnracn]

The re-direction of Until Dawn was a stroke of genius. This game was even underrated at first imo, it only ages better - its pretty much a perfect Horror experience. Has not been recreated ever since in this quality, atmosphere or storytelling. It is THE playable Movie.

[lucinae]

I remember this one scene where the characters are looking up inside a cave, and saying something like "Look at all those corpses on meat hooks!" But you can clearly see there's only one corpse on a meat hook. Time constraints or last time changes?

[xtrcity]

The quarry wasn't half bad but until dawn is still by far my favourite of the series, I'm replaying it now for Halloween.

[jordan]

I had an idea of a special Wha Happun : A wha happun on the video game crash of 83 could be interesting.

[dwschiu]

Since Halloween is near and this very episode talked about a horror game, I'd like to suggest a movie for the next "Wha Happun?" video: The Blair Witch: Book of Shadows.
Back when I watched this movie, I was too hyped because of the first movie and when I watched the sequel, it was so friggin' disappointing. Later, I read some reviews backlashing it. So I guess it's a typical case for a "Wha Happun?" episode.

[micheldy]

It's so refreshing when a complicated development manages to get out of the gate with such a well regarded game, specially if the studio is still alive and doing good work.

[tomthespaceknerd]

I had so much fun with this game. It really draws you in. Feels like a Quantic Dream game but without the pretentiousness and more focus on actual enjoyment.

[JoaoVictor-hnht]

Matt's editor never misses the chance to add the one and only Chad Warden every time they mention PlayStation 3.

[renanleandro]

I remember being absolutely blown away by the game's graphics back during the launch. I remember that It was the first time I thought that there was no way video game graphics would get better than that.

[mypal]

This was actually fun to play. Didn't know the concept was vastly different from the final product. Really nails the scream type parody aesthetic real well.

[QuickTimeFailure]

Oh God I completely forgot about the Playstation Move version of the game.
Can you imagine how much of a pain the QTEs would've been with the Move controllers?

EDIT: Aye, thanks for the credit (18:15)!

Ah yes, the adventures of Markiplier at Rude Mountain 🏔
