Devs Mourn Black Panther Game, Reveal Details - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.29.25

Not surprised. The people behind that BP game were objectively the horrible. Tachalla was not the main character and they out if nowhere said they wouldnt hire white people even though the character was created by 2 white guys

I am totally in for a KF Switch 2 launch stream! And I do not care one bit about the Switch 2.

The screenshots looked so cool and interesting. How are you going to release the same generic redundant game every year but cancel this? These companies do not learn, do they? 😂

One thing that stands out from the quotes around the closed studios is the piece about 1/4 of what was planned being completed? Does this fall on the heads of the studios? Are they telling EA they will have a completed AAA game in 5-6 years to get funding and then falling massively behind schedule

Nothing compares to the Tim/Greg energy. 10 year dynamic full of knowledge and threats

Wasnt the biggest fan of the movies but its never fun to see games get canceled

BONE UP, woo!

I’d of so bought this black panther game day one it sounds so dope and fun. We need more unique ideas like this

i wonder why the plaque is there as a menber of art deparment.

Sierra Mist had to rebrand because a lady named Sierra bought the rights to it first and caught them by surprise with a lawsuit and won smh

Glad someone got them to talk about 40k Speed Freeks. Been addicted to this game through its beta phase and happy it finally hit its 1.0.

Dang, that black panther game looked so good

At this point, i strongly believe that any new studio that gets made has to set a goal of releasing their game in 3 years. Even if there's an ambitious goal. There needs to be a mentality of "no matter what, lets make sure this game cant get cancelled"

the weird camera bubble on tims mac is speaking to me

That was as PR as PR can get about that Black Panther game being cancelled. But in all fairness the Kinda Funny demographics who sub to the channel probably wouldn't be able to handle the real reasons. EA is still investing in titles that are lack luster and have no creativity or originality.

The Black Panther cancelation is a huge loss not for just games, but culturally. It sounds like it would have been like Gotham Knights and I loved that game.

FWIW, Limited Run's CEO Josh Fairhurst pitched a re-release of Cool Spot to Keurig/Dr. Pepper a few years ago and, according to him, they "were not even remotely interested".

Reporting for the Cool Spot dev team. Please forward the design docs.

RKG reference from Greg got me

😢

I think Marvel had a temporary mandate that T'Challa was going to be retired with Boseman. This has probably been removed due to the black community being very negative to that saying he is being erased.

I would've played that black panther game

It’s probably a response to the superhero fad ending and they fear by the time it releases they missed the window

Beyond! I love Greg's beyond shout that brings me back to his IGN days. 😁

Someone has to be the face of 911... 😂

I love this duo, we need more of this

tim’s energy today was somewhat more chaotic than greg’s for whatever reason

Tim is so impressed by Cool Spot, but thinks Astrobot is too plain? Make it make sense.

So I think the persona 4 thing is a ploy and they are in it

LOVE that you guys are getting into the weed game (for sponsors) I always say if you want to get the most out of your video games, take a gummy! (Or smoke a blunt 😉)
