Digital Foundry: Destroy All Humans! 2020 Remake vs 2005 Original - An Unreal Transformation! [Sponsored]
- Thread starter chandoog
- Start date
Not a fan of Digital Foundry being sponsored by an actual publisher, that's not cool. I don't mind a Nvidia sponsor for example, but the guys that released the game... mmm
Anyways, the game looks really good, at least on PC.

To be fair I think this is a remake/remaster worth looking at considering the amount of work done on it (on the same level as a Crash/Spyro Trilogy imo). I wish they would also look at Spongebob but I understand i
I don't mind the sponsored content as long as they are branding it as sponsored content like they are here. It's good to have that honesty.
They do sponsored content from time to time, and are very transparent with it when it is.
Okay, so now that I'm watching the video, it's just as shameless.

I agree that they're 100% open about it, I at least do appreciate that

I guess it wasn't high-enough profile of a game that they would have wanted to do a full tech breakdown.
As others have said, as long as they clearly stated this as Sponsored content, this is A-OK in my book.
Yeah, no qualms here with it. Just odd. Guess a little more publicity wouldn't hurt.
To give a short explanation about what type of sponsored content we do.
This video is basically a "what the 2005 game did, what 2005 was like, and how the remaster looks different/does different things" video. Since it is sponsored we do not go into "review" territory here and start giving technical read outs and derived opinions based on them as it would compromise our reputation.
Like chandoog mentions - we have a busy schedule and need to make revenue to exist (not as easy as it sounds and it is not like I am earning big € anyway!), a smaller game like this would not actually get a full tech break down anyway.
edit: quick edit to remove a bit of incorrect info!

I'll say it; very bad look to accept sponsorship from the same company that did an AMA with 8chan last year and did nothing for it. And not even from a division like Saber or Deep Silver, but the same one (THQ Nordic) that did it.
That's good to know, and I appreciate the explanation.
I haven't been able to watch the video yet as I'm at work (my original post was just an observation of the idea of DF getting these kinds of sponsors, not specifically aimed at this one), so it's good to know in particular this, which was my main problem when the idea crossed my mind:
So yeah, thank you Alex for the detail, I know you guys do a great job and if these kinds of deals allow you guys to make even greater content, I don't really have a problem with them.
I am still annoyed about how lame that Langrisser video was.
It gave very, very little attention to the older games and then jumped straight to selling the mobile title.
