In the early part of the video, they admit it. Hudson actually makes youtube videos, so this youtube video is theirs.

i never got to play that game.. i know it was horrid and looked nothing like bomberman, but was it even a typical bomberman game or no? at least the main character looks kinda tight.

I watched 3 minutes of that.

 

I feel dumber for watching it.

 

I'd want those 3 minutes of my life back, but now I'm too dumb to care.

God I remember the game when it came out.

 

Who's idea of creating this in the first place?

EDIT: LOL Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomberman_Act:_Zero

 

Before its release, Electronic Gaming Monthly, "rewarded" the game with its Shame of the Month award, comparing Bomberman's new Halo-esque getup to Mario morphing into a cold-eyed Mafia hitman, and criticizing the game for its severe lack of play options (only two multiplayer modes). It has also been criticised for having no offline multiplayer option; all multiplayer occurs through Xbox Live.

On July 2nd, 2007, Hudson Entertainment's Bee TV video podcast published a featurette about the making of Bomberman LIVE, condemning Act Zero several times throughout the video and at one point calling it a "piece of shit."

This video isn't on YouTube any more either, so I'm curious. Got a link to it anywhere...

It's sad that a company would actively mock their own product. Especially a relatively recent release.

 

I've seen interviews where they took a more healthy approach, and just talked about what they did wrong(and what they did RIGHT) instead of pointing, laughing, and and calling it a piece of shit.

 

 

 

But hey, whatever. It's not like Bomberman is relevant anymore. So they may as well just cater to the existing Bomberman fans. That'll give them a nice supplement to their income for a while.

Not enough to maintain a company, of course. That's why they went bankrupt. But I doubt Konami minds a reliable, low-effort niche.

What did they do right, exactly?

What they did is called "humbling yourself" and it's a healthy thing, plus it shows they have a sense of humor.

So you're telling me that nobody fed this through Vixy.net or one of the video grabbing plug-ins for Mozilla Firefox? Nobody at all?

Bomberman isn't relevant anymore? The new Bomberman Live looks awesome and I intend to have it.
