yes
Guess big smith is not so willing to do it again
games are failing due to bad writing ( for example things from sbi ) and bad game play
so what you were talking about with tencent allowing devs to make what they want Tencent owns GGG who make Path of exile and Path of exile 2
"KEEP MY GAME'S NAME OUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!"
He definitely made sure of that
"I'm going to"
gets up and walks towrads yong
No problem pal
You got it chief
10 years ago Will Smith being in a video game fighting zombies would have lit up the internet.
Really, I still wouldn't have cared. I don't like Hollywood forcing itself into video games.
“I Am Legend” became “I Was a Legend”
It’s wild to think of the WS from the 90’s being current-day WS.
About 15 years ago actually
@@sophieedel6324 Like you didn't care about Keanu Reeves in Cyberpunk? Yeah right
@@sophieedel6324What if they were requested or very passionate about said game? Like Henry Caville doing a Warhammer game? Or if Robin Williams was apart of a Zelda game? Or his daughter Zelda Williams?
_"Game becomes famous because no-one knew it existed."_ reads like a parody, to be honest.
Feels like the onion
If failed because it missed the perfect opportunity to have Will Smith slap the zombies left and right
Nah I think it failed because 10cents and Will forgot so many craps 😂
I’d play a Will Smith zombie game is your main weapon is fisticuffs and your special move is The Slap.
10/10
I am legend more like I am meme@@ewjiml
hahaahahha best joke of the day, thank you
I was hoping someone was going to make a comment like this 😂
I had no idea Will Smith even HAD a zombie game. Like zero advertising whatsoever
Videogamedunkey advertised it better than the gaming company itself just by releasing a video which is mocking the game. Speaks volumes
@@GeorgeirfxVideogamedunkey with a Will Smith video game was inevitable
They blew that entire game budget just on hiring Will Smith.. 🤣
Dunkey had a recent video on it. That's the only thing aside from this video I saw about it.
I was gonna say. "He has a zombie game?"
between this and his last couple movies, I'm convinced Will's either surrounded by yes men, only looking at the paychecks, or has a really REALLY stupid agent.
Or he really needs that cash. His movies aren't a world conquering gangbuster like it used to. Even his award winning movie about the father of Venus and Serena Williams wasn't exactly a box office or streaming draw. That's why he returns to Bad Boys franchise after all these years.
Thats what I thought. His manager said "yeah do Suicide Squad, then do a Chinese FTP game."
Maybe he just wants to be in a game... Do you guys not?
Will Smith: "Yo I made a zombie game!"
The Internet: "I'm sorry, who the hell are you?"
"Oh, the silly slap-man. 🤔... didn't you have a job, a while back? Like 20 years ago?"
In my Charlie Murphy voice...."WRONG"...dam this app needs GIFS. some of you younger humans up here are goofies. lol
The fact that we're all finding out about this game because Yong made a video about it is a really bad sign 😂
Dunkey beat him by a day or two, go check it out 😂🙌
@@AConquerorsVendetta Yesh I saw it on dunkey too. Game looks truly horrible and unfinished.
lol right. I try my best to stay up to date with upcoming games. This game “on paper” is right up my alley. Yet I never heard of it until just now.
I know it from AngryJoe.
@@EternalGaze8Someday we will get this on paper AND in the actual game. Palworld is a good example of a game that actually checks all the boxes as to what it tries to do
"Yo, this game SLAPS!"
- Chris Rock
Too soon.
too funny 🤣
Too real
😂😂😂
I HOPE Chris Rock brings this up in his next comedy special!
I heard there’s a mission in which wills characters has to save his wife’s boyfriend from a horde of zombies
Oooo I played that one myself. After he saves him, Jada forces will to make out with a dead zombie while she laughs maniacally in the background, getting pounded by said wife's boyfriend.
I heard that his wife was a zombie who was chasing her kids friends around. I'm sure she just wants their brains.
Yeah, it's called "Entanglement"
Keep his wife's name out ya damn mouth!
😂😂
"We're gonna need a celebrity to tie into a our new game. Who's hot these days?" Someone asked this question, and they arrived at Will Smith?!
Surprisingly, dunkey did a video on this a while before anyone even knew it existed
Yeah
Bro went from being gaslighted by Jada, to being gaslighted by a whole “gaming” company.
Thanks 10cents, very social credit! 👌
Nah man, John Cena Bin Chilling, Will Smith He NaiCha if you know what I mean. XD
Poor lad, wish him well on his recovery after being gaslighted
Bro was already being gaslit by Hollywood.
They made him play self-demeaning black roles, then never gave him the ones he wanted like Superman.
He now has the same adapt-to-White-but-be-overly-cruel-clinging-to-race mentality as Michael Jackson and has the mental sanity level of hack Shia Lebouf.
Loved him in holes. Hated him after the post-Disney alcoholism and decay most kids go through.
Will knew he was selling out to the CCP.
Creative projects flop all the time; there's no shame in that if one approaches a project honestly and tries their best.
This was just a paycheck for Will. His brand is so crap, now.
The fact that this game has a Disney style music number is just hilarious
that probably turned off many players. though the skit tiktoker makers would milk it rapidly for a short time before forgetting this game.
Seriously?!
What is up with with all these annoying musicals shoved into everything, lately?!
Just stop!😂
The first time I saw that, i just mouth open and "what the actual fuck ?"
I can't endure that lvl of cringe.
"Well Baldur's Gate 3 had a musical number and people liked that!"
@@dastvan8002 And Allan Wake 2.
I know it's a minor nitpick, but at 2:44 they cut to a zombie wearing a gasmask that is clearly eating somebody. But like, how?
It speaks for the level of quality and care if they clearly overlook this illogical thing that everyone else notices right away. They didn't bother to either remove it or briefly show the zombie struggling with and giving up or managing to pull it off, nor did they bother to imply the zombie was just dumb enough and trying to fruitlessly eat while the mask was on, which they could've done so with clever camera angles, blood on the mask and animations implying that.
No, they just literally used a random model and standard eating animation, not giving a crap.
Classic corporate mindset. “Celebrity = sales, guaranteed money!”
As a software developer I got interviewed for a position by Tencent's lead developer for mobile games. They asked me to introduce myself and after I was done doing so (of course I embellished my achievements/roles a bit)
The guy told me "You know I have more experience than you and was managing a whole team at Ubisoft and you shouldn't show off your skills." The funny thing is I wanted to get into the gaming industry so bad that I was taking a pay cut for the job but after that I never even tried. With this sort of toxicity and insecurity at top levels no wonder their games are shit.
"Can you tell us what you can do?"
*Talks about their skills*
"Show off!"
That's just so full of insecurity on their part.
That exact Point is when you say "i think we're done Here", get Up and leave
What the... lmao!
People need to start going on strike
Don't go to tencent ever again dude. That company is heavily connected to CCP. I can't support the current Chinese gov't at all.
A Will Smith game? Is the final boss Chris Rock?
2pac
No, it's Jada
@@Dethgato5060lololol @ Jada & 2Pac
Chris's rock while he biting Jada neck so will Smith need to safe her
A Slowking-looking creature, as Jada runs around with a Chris Rock stuck on her head, chomping down on it. By the time you manage to free her, her hair's been eaten off.
I love how Tencent looked at this flop and were like "Yep. The problem here is that people want anime RPGs. Nothing else we could've done to make this game succeed."
That is the correct assessment though lol.
@@FujimoraPantsu2 Lmao what a bad take. Level Infinite, which is a subdivision under Tencent, published the anime RPG game called Tower of Fantasy world-wide, and that game has bombed as well. They have also failed to buy mihoyo before Genshin Impact became a major hit in early 2020 but the devs of Genshin rejected them. Tencent is just a cold and soulless company and they look at video games as cash cows. Zero passion.
Ever since the slap incident, I never heard his name popped again until just now.
They wanted to call it until dawn so badly
Undawn is such a dumb name. It sounds so close too undone.
You mean that wasn't just a Dunkey bit
Thankfully it wasn't. The musical bit was fricking hilarious
even dunkey couldn't resist the emotional damage from that disney musical jumpscare
Well since dunkey is will smith…
I can't believe they took his subscribers and donated them to will smith.
I love your videos Kelsey, seriously
This awoke a part in my brain, I now remember vividly watching that trailer when it came out and then completely forgot until now
My favourite thing about it is Will Smith's character in the game either doesn't have audio and just subtitles, or just some random dudes voice.
You played this !?
@@rphilipsgeekery4589there's gameplsy footage on yt.
Having him record lines for the game would have cost more. 😄
Watched a video yesterday, that's how I heard about this abomination, and he seems to not talk, I guess!?
He was shown only once.
To be fair, the game has audio problems, no sounds, music and/or voices at times, so maybe he does talk, though I doubt it.
There's at least 1 musical scene, because... reasons, so they had money for that, at least.
It's gratifying to see the words "Will Smith", "Zombie Survival" and "Tencent" immediately proceeded by "bombs spectacularly".
No offence, but it's more surprising than gratifying to me. I thought "Tencent made a game like this? WTF were they thinking, it's no wonder it bombed".
all in one sentence..
I think they forgot to hire a marketing department for this one and just let Will do it because I literally had never heard of this game before now.
In the trailer, (at 2:25) the zombie is shown to be presumably eating a human. But when Will show up and the zombie turned around (2:44) the fuckin thing was wearing a full gas mask, with filter intact and all. China, WHAT is you doing, baby ???
$139 million loss?! What a slap to the face!
What was Tencent thinking? No sane company would gladly squander USD$139 million on a failed project.
What is with these budgets?
money laundering?
😂
I see what you did there 😉
lol saw that comment in the screenshot, "Keep my wife's brain out of your freaking mouth"
*husband
Where did you get the MG Rex? i'd love to have that! that is honestly sick.
Wow! An open world zombie shooter survival game? Talk about bold and groundbreaking!
Everyone is talking about this game… and I’ve never heard of it.
How badly did they fuck up the marketing
*edit*
All I can say to all of you, thank you for the engagement, I’m a nobody who is happy to stay in the shadows, I hope you’re all happy and well, and finding your path to what you seek.
I think they fucked it up by straight up not doing it.
What marketing?
All the budget went to purchase Will Smith.
Same I haven’t heard of this game either
@@thecompanioncube4211 They could not afford marketing the game so Will Smith had to post it on his own channel and i take it majority of gamers not following Smith on Twitter. Me included.
Absolutely guaranteed Will Smith has never played the game.
Why would he
Does he not understand that it now is associated with his name tho? he stupid asf... i don't care how much he was paid, having a bad product associated with someone's real name is the cringiest thing anyone can do.
He is not a gamer why would he.
Absolutely guaranteed that Will Smith would see this and say, "Wait, I was in a game?"
If it's not his hobby, of course he wouldn't have played the game
It says a lot about how little this game was even marketed when it came out almost a year ago and I have heard no mention of it anywhere, not even in any "worst game of the years" discussions. I went into this video assuming it was a brand new game that just dropped a day or two ago, and was caught by surprise when I found out it's been out for several months.
I’m more surprised it wasn’t a tie in for ‘I am legend 2’
>Tencent
are we surprised?
The company that can only buy, cannot create.
Tencent is just a publisher and shareholder
Its like EA which inadvertently makes their devs prioritize IAPs which makes the game feel hollow and a glorified wallet milker
their games literally use the exact same engine.
@@LUCAS420BLZ "just a publisher and shareholder" What do you mean JUST ? . They still get the last word. The reason everything they fund turns into crap is mainly because of their suits.
@@Fuzzycat16 did you just want to be combative with that reply
The second half literally says why it would end up feeling hollow, EA is a great example for more people already familiar with their BS
Tencent is harder to explain for non SEA players, simply put they are a monopoly and their influence is impossible to break
It doesn't mean what they initially launch is bad off rip, they can progressively be more invasive in how they monetize that's for sure
seems they forgot to advertise this game at all.
They didn't, that game is trash.
@@txorimorea3869both things can be true
Undawn 2, can't wait to see it!
The moment I heard ot was Tencent it all made sense of how it looked.
The biggest tragedy isn't even that the game bombed, it's that it's convinced Tencent that it's more correct to chase gacha, genshin and casual markets. What a disaster.
This was a gacha game.
@@Fredrick2003 What do you mean by gacha game?
Spend asinine amounts of money for the *chance* to get heroes/items/ whatever.
@@VashxTSx That's how I would define it too, but because I haven't found anyone talking about the gacha elements, depending on how you define it, I would have said it wasn't a gacha game. But I haven't played it so maybe.
Who cares? Cause even if it's grossed 500 mil against the 140 mil budget, they'd still say, this wasn't a big success as we thought, we're moving to gacha games
I love how the ONE zombie we can “see” was wearing a mask trying to eat someone 😂
must have been using a straw
covid game development. doesnt age well.
To be fair, Lethal Company has feeding-through-masks zombies too
i vaguely remember some kind of trailer for this from last year but i don't know much beyond that
The musical elements were what surprised me
I was totally unaware Will Smith even did a game…
Yea but we know his wife did a game, with her sons friend.
Because he didn't. He's an actor in the game, he's not a developer. People are calling it a Will Smith's game out of spite because it's published by a Chinese company, and you know how much Americans hate anybody that works with a chinese company... Unless it's apple, of course... Gotta get those iphones
Bad Boys Miami Takedown was his earlier game
LMAO!!! he didn't do a game.... He was ONLY a NPC in game
If there had been a game featuring Will Smith in any way when I was a kid in the 90's, I would have absolutely lost my mind.
Bad boys was the only example right?
@jiovanirivera852 Men in Black was good too.
I had absolutely NO idea this existed until I saw your video.
Idk but I feel Tencent retreating from the core game market into mobile and casual is fantastic news.
Is it bad that I never even heard of this game?
nope, it's just a repetitive game just like any other generic mmo out there
No one did, clearly
You’re good, IGN released an article about the game bombing and literally all the comments were “there’s a Will Smith zombie game!?!?!?”
That's the whole point.
This is literally the first time I’ve heard of it. 😂
Am I the only one who doesn't want to see Celebrity's in video games? I want to escape seeing them all on news and media outlets, let alone seeing them on a video game.
You're with the people.
Even I am a big fan of The Rock but I'm tired of seeing him having to carry franchises.
It's a massive
resource drain. Much like the modern film industry, bloated budgets make it harder to get a return on investment. With video games, that tends to lead to gross over monitization tactics. I'm not willing to spend more to see a digital celebrity, especially one I don't like.
It makes things more expensive for no reason at all other than publicity for the celeb.
@@defaulted9485 He carries franchises?
It was fun for a little while. Martin Sheen seemed genuinely passionate about his role in Mass Effect but that was probably it for me.
Congrats to Big Will on scoring such an easy paycheck. At least he got something out of this disaster.
Honestly? Im glad that this is making tencent pullout of very large game development. Theyve done nothing but force microtransactions down every developers throats. I see this as an absolute win.
Will Smith himself, no one cares.
Fresh Prince and Carlton vs Zombies would be a gold mine.
Jazz goes crazy and somehow that results in zombies. FP&C need to slap their way to safety. JACKPROT!
that would require more creativity from the investors and CEOs than they're capable of
@@alexket8403 I would argue they seem to have a particular well of ability when it comes to digging up things that were popular decades ago and trying to revive them.
@@ShutTheMuckUpPlus a scene with Carlton in the MJ red Thriller outfit but, then when the music swells, it's not Michael, but Tom Jones's 'It's Not Unusual' and he leads a horde of zombies in the Carlton Dance.
_Zombies ate my paycheck_
Isn't a Will Smith Zombie survival just I Am Legend?
Thinking about it, it is basically I am legend the video game.
The game only had Will Smith for 1 month as an event where you did fetch quests and after that it became grindy and boring after that 1 month
Hell 12 days
That would be awesome though.
That's not what we got at all though.
This is 2020+(idk when they recorded him, might honestly be older than that even) will smith..... nothing good about this.....(to be EXTRA honest though..... you'd have to go back to pre-2010 will smith for him to be likeable, I Am Legend is right around the time i personally think he fell off and became too famous for his own good)
That's a vampire game.
Chris Rock Slapped the Dislike Button.
Will Smith - Keep my games Name out your dam mouth.
Gamers - Keep your game off my dam platform.
Was that zombie wearing a gas mask while eating someone in the CGI trailer..how many braincells go into these things
“I’m not dinner, I’m breakfast.”
-dunkey
No slapping, no sales
I wouldn't have known this game's existence if it wasn't for dunkey's video
TenCent, a name I see and automatically think "oh, another low budget flash game for mobile"
You ask why Tencent won't give their developers freedom to come up with new and big ideas... You DO realize you're asking that question of corporate executives who only speak "money," right?
Not just any corporate executives, CHINESE Corporate Executives, basically people who might as well be Xi Jinping's lapdogs with how cruel they are.
And mainland China company on top of that.
I never heard of this game, until i saw your video for it here.
I didn’t even know this game existed
That Stang was so sick
For as much attention there has been surrounding Tencent and the worry that they have too much influence / financial control over the gaming industry, it seems quite ironic that they were able to release a game with a massive $140m budget and celebrity appearance of Will Smith, only for nobody to even hear about it or know that it exists.
well it's not ironic, it's just what they always do. copying (ideas from) famous games and porting them to mobile device, most of their games failed, but a number of them did not fail, that's how you know tencent exists.
I’m sure that the fresh prince is a part of the reason it bombed
Well, Tencent also have a minority share (30%) in Larian Studios, the guys that made Baldur's Gate 3. Tencent's mistake was doing something, anything with a celebrity that wanted his name on a game but would not know a game if it bit him in the backside. Sad truth is that the world is full with Will Smits and sorely lacking in Larians. So what can they do other than throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks to maybe sometimes get lucky?
'Keep my wife's brain out your f***ing mouth zombie' proceeds to slap every zombie.' If only, that would have been a much better game.
I literally had no idea he had a game until now and the fact it's been out since June is wild.
I heard about it but I didn't even know it released. There was no marketing for this
Edit: holy shit it released June 2023??? 😳
For the most part, I dont think too many people pay too much attention to "narcissistic and greedy hollywierd" too much anymore
I thought he was a fictional character from Bel-Air.
🎸🎸🎸
Now this is a story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just so you understand
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a zombie land
@@bluesandman7566
In West Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out, maxin, ' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin' some freaks outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got teared
And said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air"
I literally heard about this game ONCE a year ago
This is the first time I'm hearing this game exists.
Bro... I had no clue of this game. And then I found out I had it installed 😂
I thought this game was an elaborate prank 😂 I didn't know they were actually making a will smith zombie game or whatever hahahaha
thats what happens when your game trailer doesnt show the game but a cinema style commercial
Who's idea was it to have the only zombie shown in the trailer to have a mask on?
I would never buy a game if Will Smith was in the advert. Did they not see the Oscars?
I apply the same logic to movies.
Even Half Life 3?
Bet you gonna love the new Bad Boys movie then.
Why not? What did the guy do to you? Lol
@RogueDragon05 trailer was trash ngl. The franchise should've retired after the last installment but it's Hollywood baby.
That sucks. I hope will smiths husband can help him deal with the tragedy of his new game flopping 😢
WOW. You are so funny.
Settle down man
We know who wears the pants in that household. And the buzzcut.
"Keep my husband's name out your mouth"😂
Oh gee, insulting a woman by calling her a man. How very clever and original. I am in awe of your wit. Jackasses.
Over 100 million for that game. That's crazy. I can imagine so many franchises that deserve that money.
Well fellas, it's confirmed, this game doesn't SLAPS
The only way this would have worked would be if the whole game was trying to track down and slap Chris rock for stealing jada's wig.
Will Smith is... John Wig. There will be Hell toupee.
Whats your headphones model?
Was really hoping for Wild Wild Smiff, but you take what you can get, I guess.
Will kill the zombies by slapping them?
nah his slap would make them zombies do the thriller disney musical dance
The first time i had ever heard about this was this month's episode of Pregame Discharge.
Also wtf! The "I Am Legend" IP is right there! You already got the guy from "I Am Legend"!
That was more vampiric than zombie
Crazy how the lowest form of content creation (copying) has become an industry standard
That game need a slap in the Oscar
I don't think I've ever felt bad for a mega rich person before, but I don't think I'd trade places with Will Smith for all the money in his bank account
Really?
@@chrisj320ac3 It's like Robin Williams, surrounded by people that aren't your friends and make you feel alone in a crowd. Smith absolutely has that going on since he simped for lady frankenstein. Most people in that situation don't make it to their golden years.
@@chrisj320ac3 Do *you* want to deal with two crazy kids ruined by a crazier 'wife' that humiliates you as a 'cluck' (dodging the YT filter here..), gets you to ruin your career then says she already left years ago? lol
Even his bank account may belong to his wife at this point
I would.
If I can't slap the zombies. I don't want it
How does free game take one year to bomb but AAAA skull and bones did it in one month?
People have two Will Smith jokes anymore and have rode them so far into the ground
Level Infinite, the company known for massive hits like...Chimeraland, which shuts down in 2 days because they're letting the rights expire. Their entire business model is porting China gachas to the west, milking the cash shop for all it's worth, then shutting it down on the playerbase when the term expires.
I have 0 sympathy for the people being screwed over for playing these games. They show all the signs of poison yet people still eat it
@@Mittens... "But bro, I can pay $22.99 to start gaining XP and coins at level 8 immediately instead of needing to grind for 37 hours, it's so worth it."
It's whales that don't have much in their lives apart from 'Big number go up'.
Bingo. This is a literal mobile gacha game that appeals to people who play games to spend real money on cosmetics and pay to win mechanics.
@@joshuaanderson1712 Not having much in their lives is no excuse because they could still choose to play good games. People who rationalize wasting their money on gacha games are a special kind of stupid.
That's a real slap in the face for Will.
The Day Before was not enough on its own, we really needed The Will Before
Been loving the game so far. Lots of areas for improvement but it’s okay. I’m half way to the level 100 Ja-Da Robot skin. Been a fun grind.
How was that zombie with the gas mask eating? LOL
"KEEP MY GAME OFF YOUR FUCKIN CONSOLE!"
Right now, the only celebrity actor in modern video games that really worked is Keanu Reeves for Cyberpunk 2077. He wasnt just some marketing stunt but an actual part of the story.
People are sick of corporate greed and the celebrities associated with it.
