How a FAILED Teddy Bear Game Became a $1B Empire

Here before this blows up

[@TheRoyTeal96]

For real. Dude was taking a lot of unnecessary detours to get to the main story.

[@krezzal]

[@WeekndWarriorrr]

​@@krezzalSome of us enjoy that type of thing. I like knowing the history of what led up to where we are now. He is right though. 😂

[@Sassy_Witch]

gotta get that 10 min revenue cash grab lmao. I miss the old times when game docus were actually good

[@wipptrunk]

@@Sassy_Witch is it not fair he gets paid for his time or effort? If no one got paid to make this sort of thing than virtually no one would choose to do this, instead, they would just work a job leaving us with no entertainment.

[@JB-wf6mz]

I'd personally love it if they made a Naughty Bear remake or even a new game with the IP

[@lloydlandrum3040]

Or atleast a rerelease

[@demen9497]

Yea the game runs poorly so it definitely needs one

[@UhhhIDontKnowEither]

They once made a sequel called Panic in Paradise, despite being easier than the first game, it didn’t do very well.

[@JB-wf6mz]

@UhhhIDontKnowEither oh yea wow I did forget that one and now that I remember I really liked that one and to me it was harder then the original

[@thursdayboy4268]

I heard they might make a naughty bear 3 because people want that again they might so we'll see if they will

[@SynysterGrates795]

I didn't know Behaviour made Naughty Bear, that's kinda hilarious that's where the idea for DbD started. Also, still sad Evolve failed, that game was actually sick as hell when it first launched.

[@Deliveredmean42]

Extreme Greed can kill any game, and Evolve end up being an example on how NOT to monetize their game before and during launch time.

[@N.W.O_DE]

How can you dont know this? there is even a naughty bear trapper skin in dbd because of this 😅

[@CarvedStones]

I always figured that Naughty Bear was a prototype for DbD, there’s even a multiplayer mode in the game that has one player playing as Naughty, and the three other players have to play as the normal bears.

[@basilciccone1679]

⁠@@N.W.O_DEsounds like you’ve never played a Ubisoft game, good for you. But, they put assassin missions in watch dogs. Fairly certain the only thing they have in common is the publishers, but two seperate teams work on those games. So not knowing that Naughty Bear was developed by the same team as dbd is not as surprising as you’d think

[@spongegar]

KZbin essayist be like "but first, we have to go back to the beginning" and then explains what pong is

[@ricktheweeb5382]

then explain how this guy who sat in a chair gave this person the thought of making a chair simulator which then cause Hitler to be born and now we have anime

[@dylanwillmon5672]

He's gotta pad the runtime somehow

[@darkron288]

I love dbd, i just wish bhvr would stop making the same mistake, to them they are still the indie company that could, but no they aren't, dbd even after nearly 10 years on the market is still a bug filled unbalance mess of a game that only seems to thrive on getting ips, also lets be real the game should be f2p at this point its already set up like a free to play game, just drop the pretense and make it free for everyone.

[@grizzofeu653]

The amount of cheaters there would be, is propably the reason they haven't gone f2p

[@TheSupersmash97]

Ahh make it free so cheaters can interfere in fun

[@hvn_gng]

I still never understood why reviewers of naught bear called it too graphic, it was pretty heavily advertised as such. You get what you pay for.

[@DeadlestSpartanGroup]

They did for a bit on Epic Games, which led to a long period of hackers in most games when it's normally not often to run into one.

[@AlienRino]

“But cheaters :(“ I’m sorry, but a game that has 50+ million sales across all platforms can afford an anti cheat. Not to mention the call coming from within the house, being all the bugs this game STILL has after 8 years.

[@goldenboigwuapo]

Nahhh he really did the meme😂he ACTUALLY went back to the inception of gaming to explain a fuckin shovelware game😭😭I did enjoy it tho, that shit just caught me off guard

[@CadeStark-cessna-oc8xw]

The fact he mentioned a bunch of similar games and how they last only a few months but didn't mention the Friday the 13th game is crazy. If you still play that game your a real one

[@krezzal]

I didn't add it because I felt like just talking about a couple games briefly would get the point across but looking back now you're 100% right, it would've at least been a much better fit than either of the other 2. Gosh darn it lol

[@jswierczewski97]

i wasn’t so into this style of game, but I did get to try it out with Friday the 13th

[@DavidStudiosproduct]

While we call a lot of these projects failures from a creative standpoint, it’s actually really smart from a business standpoint (temporarily). The fact that they do focus testing early on in development means that if something doesnt test right, they won’t sink money into it. Many AA studios fall into the sunk cost fallacy trap, so they are actually learning. I just hope that they can achieve a similar success with a new IP. It seems at least, that the main reason for their struggle is quality control and resource management. Hopefully they get better at it!

[@ShallowVA]

Did AI write this script? Its all over the place and barely has anything to do with the premise. Seems like an interesting idea, but the only part of the video that has anything at all to do with the title starts at 9:20 and ends at 11:09, and its just a surface level description of the game.

[@spartankaotix126]

Also the "sega genisis" and "super nintendo" images are definitely ai generated at 3:15

[@ShallowVA]

@@spartankaotix126 yeah there's a lot of AI images in here. I would have just assumed it was a poorly written script, but there was already AI used for the visuals, so I kinda think actually no one wrote this at all.

Bro talked about filler more than Naughty Bear which is why I even clicked on this video in the first place.

[@chickengasmachine]

And instead of clicking dislike, you came here and gave the video more engagement.

[@chickengasmachine]

@byronbarrientos8471 I ain't gonna do the work of pointing out what works and doesn't work in a KZbinr's video. They can put in the work themselves.

[@Dremag_Gaming]

There is one other game thats like DbD and still going on. And that's Identity V (IDV). And before anyone says that they are a "ripoff" and such. Some thought this game would get sued (I guess because they think no other company can do this genre as well?) But here's the thing. Not only Behaviour Interactive knows about this game. They in fact helped them out on it. And another interesting thing. When Behaviour was to redo their mobile port (2nd attempt). They got Netease to help them back. While DbD relies mostly on horror icons, IDV has anime and other collaborations. Either way, BHVR has come a long way since then and ccan'twait to see what other things they might bring. (Fun fact: IDV had the 8v2 mode before DbD and I thought it was funny that they finally got around to it)

[@DavidStudiosproduct]

I think Asymmetric Multiplayer is an amazing concept, but it seems like everyone wants to clone and not innovate. Like imagine 5 military vehicles trying to take down a very mobile kaiju, or a strategy game where it’s a small technology based civilization vs a huge but primitive alien foe. So much potential to innovate but one one wants to

[@gusmusicau]

cannot BELIEVE I got tricked into watching a video about dbd

[@Phantomcide2]

Video starts at 9:20

[@giraffeman2763]

I think you missed some elements of the games plot for naughty bear The one reason why the other bears hate naughty is because they think he's just in the way of there perfect society and island and is why the other bears hate him and don't like him and even try to kill him several times This is all from Early demo and promotional material But sadly only some of this storyline made it in into the final game

[@Deliveredmean42]

Well, the perfect bears acting mean toward naughty bear at the beginning does at least give you an idea how they act. So much for being "Perfect"

[@theabhominal8131]

i liked naughty bear me and my wife had a blast with it....

I got Naughty Bear when I was a kid, when I was playing it and my parents saw it they were petrified and made me get rid of it LMAO honestly I don't blame them now.

[@mobs2r]

dude... I LOVED the Teen Titans game on PS2/GC?? I had no idea it was devd by bhvr devs...

[@Itsgoofytime1]

Loved this game, was super happy to see DBD give a character a Naughty Bear skin.

[@bluestar_kun]

It never occured to me till now that playing as Naughty is kinda like playing the hunters in any Dead by Daylight type of game. another example would be that weird Clown from Space game that came out recently but already vanished from my feed

[@ItzASecretBoi]

bro i litterally used to play naughty bear demo on loop as a kid, crazy to know they now made dbd and I don't even like it half as much lol.

[@pennplayz]

DUUUUDE I remember Deathgarden: Blood Harvest!! my friend and i really enjoyed that game, caught it on a deep discount and had a blast; We were both super sad when they announced the shut down :( The sharp falloff of players and hype for Frank Stone is pretty typical for this genre of game, people do one or two runs and then usually dont end up touching them again. That being said its peak still wasnt much either, seems like people outside of the DbD bubble either werent interested or didnt know it even existed Also great video! Really well put together and engaging

[@TheWanderer_99]

Wish they made a remake for Naughty Bear, I thought it was actually really cool

[@MorbidChems]

This game found me at the perfect age to play the hell out of it and i regret none. I was like 9

[@voiceunderthecovers]

I fucking love Naughty Bear, and always have. It’s such a fun game and I think the gameplay loop is awesome. Let’s get a second sequel someday.

[@jamsaltifyouwill]

man this dude is a pioneer fr. shitty ai transistions and a 20 min explanation on how video games were made when i thought the subject was supposed to be about a 2010 bear game that was mid at best. you must have some balls to put this out lol.

[@Mortiz21]

I know they want the DBD brand to be in a lot of things, but they could get some of their devs to make a low budget survival horror game. I'm sure with their talent and if they don't over inflate the budget, they could make a successful game. Might not become another billion dollar IP, but it could definitely bring in some extra cash.

[@BrittanyFlores-kq3fp]

I didn't realize how many people knew this game I thought it was one of those random Xbox games that only a handful of people knew

[@D00m1no]

I remember seeing this game on Xbox 360 store when i was little, i was scared of this game

Bro really yapped abt the beginning of gaming consoles then finally talked about the whole subject of the video lol

[@Totavier]

Quite interesting the story of Behaviour Interactive, I personally loved some of their games when they were knowed as: Artificial Mind and Movement such as the first Naughty Bear (or "Bearhunt" that I like to call it) and the game Wet (or "Quentin Tarantino: The Game" that also I like to call it 😂). But after the 2010 I lost the track on them, at first I thought that they shutdown or something, it wasn't like years later I discovered that they just rebranded the company and just changed the name. 😂

Bring naughty bear to PC!!

[@henrysullivan6341]

I think it was due to difficulty, if you aren't accustomed to playing in that specific restrictions for story/gameplay advancement then "reviewers" will be put off by it. I myself never finished it, but i did have fun playing it. Skill issue is what i would say to those negative reviews. I still have my copy of the game and is still fun to play.

[@Tetsuo16]

Infection Halo 2 was the first real Asym. also, we need a 4 hunter 1 survivor game. think about it. manhunt was a popular experince in minecraft for reasons like this.

[@ViewtifulJae]

I think evil dead tbe game had the best formula for this style of game but it was quickly abandoned and devs left so many gltitches and terrible balancing, rampant cheaters, and lack of dev communication. Smh

[@P1NKPVNK_]

I'm pretty sure the only dead by daylight adjacent game that is still seeing success to this day is probably NetEase's Identity V. While it is more popular in Asian markets, it still has a fairly sizable player base in the west and is on its 8th Year of active support. Idv holds a special place in my heart and I'm kind of sad it wasn't brought up with the other asymmetrical games

[@GilliganTF2]

Wait, i thought this video was about Naughty Bear, not DBD I came here to see one game and ended listening about other game

[@COLOTLdesigns]

7:55 My Favourite game when i was a kid😢

[@asq7136]

I was 8 or 9 when Naughty Bear came out. I played a lot of games to compare it to and it felt different. like a sand boxy simpler GTA4 with a funnily misleading aesthetic. It was fun I finished it. When I started playing Dead By Daylight I noticed the Naughty Bear skin along side other huge IPs and was surprised that a really old commercially failed game managed to feature in DBD (But I appreciated it of course) so this makes sense now. I do find it weird that Naughty Bear got a similar treatment to Manhunt but I think critics main issue was that on the surface it aesthetically appealed to kids then had 'gory themes' that could brainwash kids into becoming psychopaths or something. But he has a Machete on the box art and the trailers afaik lifted the hood on what the game was really about so it shouldn't've been a surprise to any attentive parent. I think critics hated the torment till suicide mechanic especially though which is understandable.

[@zukozuko12]

I was familar with Behaviour (NitroRad had to remind me of their name change from A2M...,) so it's a surprise they blew up. Ups and downs, they had a huge part in mine and likely others childhood. While Naughty Bear was a precursor to DBD in a way, would be awesome to see them add other characters from their original IPs. I think Jersey Devil is the only other one they own??
