The Day Before - A Scam To Never Forget (Documentary)

was the day before a scam and what did they end up gaining this is the story of the day before a game and shroud in allegations and uncertainty and the development team behind it fantastic it was a cold January 21 the gaming world was buzzing with excitement as the day before emerged its trailer was a cinematic Masterpiece promising an unparalled Zombie Survival EXP experience Gamers around the world were mesmerized by the stunning visuals the promise of an open world build with danger and Adventure the trailer showcased desolated cities intense combat and a level of realism that set the heart to racing but amidst the excitements questions lingered about the developers fantastic a unknown developer to many raised many questions who were these developers and how could they promise such a grand Adventure but even with all these questions swirling the game started building a hype and people were eagered to go to steam and put it on their wish list after the trailer launched the deb4 quickly climbed the ranks to becoming one of the most anticipated games on Steam however as weeks turned into months the initial Buzz faded into utter silence Gamers content creators and Industry experts started proving into the new development team known as fantastic in its past which led to the uncovering of a very questionable history of unfulfilled promises and abandoned projects doubts began to surface about the game's legitimacy and the absence of follow-up news only fueled the growing skepticism March 31st a date I'm pretty sure a lot of you marked in your calendar this date was set to be a major reveal on the IGN official YouTube channel which we should definitely tune in and check out if we were interested to get more information about the day before now IGN is a huge platform and a really big deal to Showcase your game this would draw the the attentions of not only new salot but content creators and Gamers who were not only enthusiastic but also hype from not only the silence but also the previous trailer that we had seen remember from the first initial trailer this game made top wishlisted games on Steam but with just 24 hours of the live event happening there was some information that came that the live event had been postponed because there were some technical difficulty and that the live event would then be broadcasted an week after on April the 6 fast forward to April the 6th we were there waiting for the event to happen and we got greeted with a day before logo and encounter telling us exactly when this event was going to happen unfortunately the counter kept counting down and down and we started searching what exactly was going on of course we headed to Twitter and found that within the Fantastic Twitter page there were telling us that they were having some technical problems with the day before event but to not worry we could sit back and enjoy the music as we waited and we waited and waited a total of 9 hours eventually the stream ended up going down so we went back to see what was happening once again on their Twitter page they said that the event had been postponed yet again and that they would set a new date as soon as possible now obviously this definitely raged a huge amount of questions on why was there a delay in the first place and why would they state that this event was going to be taking place if it wasn't not it was only going to be a trailer reveal and this only takes simple inputs within your streaming software to play an mp4 file or an MKV file why would you leave the stream up for 9 hours if you knew you couldn't deliver on the work but the most important question was if they couldn't deliver a game play how could they deliver such an ambitious game that everybody was eagerly waiting now even with all this skepticism and even with all these delays everybody got eagered for April the 9th as we got a 13-minute game trailer this showcased the game and left us even more excited on how amazing the game actually looked we saw people driving Vehicles gorgeous Landscapes shooting zombies and of course looting for food and ammo entering in secured houses and intense gameplay not only with zombies but also with other players with the hype growing in the wish list climbing steam shs were off to shs on everybody wanting to play this game fast forward to October guys we get information that there is going to be another trailer where we're going to get to see more gameplay and everybody was eagerly excited because we felt that this was going to be the official time where we either got a beta or a release date and they said we were going to get some really exciting information content creators were excited everybody was excited we tuned in and they said we have some amazing news for you guys after the trailer seen some new videos from the day before and you know the release date we are looking forward to delivering the day before for you and now we have something more our second inner team at Fantastic has been working on something super fun over the year we're happy to show you our new game prop KN night join prop night open better right after the event the release date was announced but in addition to that they told us that there was a brand new game that they were also working on that we would be able to play right away and that game was called prop Knight now the thing with this is guys they used all the popularity that the day before had to promote this other game that they had been working on the side now with the popularity that the day before had they were able to leverage off this popularity to sell us this prop night and of course we took the bite now once again we went into silence as silence for 6 months but on May the 3rd 2022 we got a tweet the day before news will be this week once again we were excited but that news was bittersweet because what they announced is was that they were delaying the launch of the game to March 2023 now the reasons for delaying the game is due to the fact that the game was just too popular million of people have added the day before to their wish list making the game one of the most anticipated games in the world feeling and understanding the great responsibility that we fac with enormous gratitude in our hearts we're pleased to announce that the day before we'll be switching to the new Unreal Engine 5 technology the transition to a more advanced and adapted open world engine will make the gameplay of the day before even more fantastic in this regard we inform you that the new release date of the game will be March 1st 2023 now with just a couple months from the release of the game on January there is this Big Bus Around the internet on Reddit on Twitter everywhere everybody's talking about how the most anticipated game is has officially been removed from stee what happened what's going on well we got some clarification on what had happened from Discord it said we we are currently experiencing minor technical difficulties with our game's visibility on the steam store pit this is a known bug that has affected multiple titles in the past please note that steam regularly conducts maintenance on Tuesdays and this issue will likely be resolved during that time we kindly ask you that you refrain from sending negative messages or joining in with the complaints of others rest assured that our game will be visible on Steam store again once the mainten is complete patience is key unfortunately once again this was deception a lie and incorrect statement due to the fact that a couple days later fantastic released the statement it says Dear fans right before the release steam blocked their game page as the request of a private individual because the name the day before as you know our game was announced in January 2021 at the time of the announcement the day before game trademark was available after the announcement of the game the above mentioned individual filed an application before us to register the game's trademark to day before in the United States and they say previously we were not aware of the existing claims we found out about this only on January 19 2023 when we received the complaint from him and the request to contact him now we find out all the circumstances of the incident and we will definitely solve everything we previously planned to post a lengthy gameplay video later this month but we will have to sort this issue out first we will post the video video ASAP as a result we have made a difficult decision to postpone the launch to November the 10th 2023 now unfortunately these statements once again are incorrect due to the fact that the person that filed a trademark can be searched through public records and the release and announcement of the day before was January the 29th 21 the person that filed the trademark is a person named son J Lee who filed a trademark not on January but actually in May 21st 2021 5 months after the announcement of the day before now we also are able to confirm when fantastic actually filed the trademark and that was a year after the announcement of the day before on January 27 2022 now just like the other stuff that has been happening prior to this this raises a ton of questions why would you post a game and announce a game without filing a trademark this is basically video game 101 or branding 101 you always trademark before you actually announce why would you take over an year to file a trademark and when you file that trademark how did you not notice that someone had already filed a trademark and addressed that issue before you actually got to the point where the person stopped you from using the name and third why would this cause a delay in the game with all all these questions and more speculations started swirling that they were actually behind the trademark filing and this was going to give them an option or a way out to delay the game even further because the game was not fully complete fast forward to November the 1st we get a another trailer by fantastic and yet another delay one of the most highly anticipated and yet more controversial games of all time has once again been delayed now the great thing is that this time it wasn't delayed by a long amount of months it was actually only delayed for a month and the release date was set on stone for December the 7th 2023 they stated that this is going to be a Early Access release on Steam and it would not be coming into console due to the fact that this was their first huge game and they wanted to make sure that they had it polished out before the future release of the game in addition to that we also got the price of the game the game you were able to go ahead and get the Early Access for $39.99 once again we marked our calendars for December the 7th even though December the 7th wasn't here the internet was buzzing for one of the most anticipated games on Steam it went once again back to being number one and fluctuated from 1 and two Gamers were eagered Gamers were excited and as the days closed in into December the 7th speculation started swirling that the game was not going to be releasing due to the fact of all the previous past times that the game had officially got a delay as December the 7th approaches on December the 6th we get information that the current YouTube page of fantastic and the day before has been updated with deleted videos of previous gameplay of the game this raised a couple questions and a couple eyebrows but Gamers were still eagered just with a DAT left to get their hands on December the 7th to play the day before December the 7th is here it's 10:00 a.m. everybody's eagered ready to go into Woodberry and test the game that everybody thought was not ever going to come and the arrival is here streamers are ready content creators are ready journalists are ready and of course gamers are ready they are so ready that this game goes off the charts it almost garnishes a total of 500,000 views on Twitch with that amount of people watching the hype keeps gr over and over with almost 40,000 people playing the game at launch it seems like the day before is off to a good start but unfortunately it comes to a halt due to the fact that a lot of people that purchased the game weren't able to get into the game due to server issues they were sitting there waiting to connect waiting to connect and waiting to connect this leading to one of the major flaws when it comes to video game refunding that on Steam you cannot refund unless you play the game for less than 2 hours if you're sitting in a Lobby trying to connect into the game and you're sitting for the more than 2 hours you canot ask for a refund and if you actually got into the game within an hour it almost took you an hour to actually get and meet all the NPCs so a lot more speculation started swirling that the server delayed was done on purpose even though a couple hours in fantastic tweeted that the servers had been fixed but that wasn't the problem the biggest problem is the game that was promised was never delivered due to the fact that the game was promised to be an MMO and also a open world Survivor game unfortunately this actually turned out to be an extracted shooter another thing that stood out is that on the trailers we saw that this game was taking place in New York unfortunately it takes place in a random location it also showed that we were going to be getting a a lot of really good features like for example mantling jumping meleeing and of course very cool mechanics when it came to weapon customization and also being able to have voice chat all which was sown on the previous trailers but when the game released we got none of that we don't even have melee with all this backfall a game that was one of the most anticipated games of all time rapidly became one of the most disliked games in Steam history almost getting close to number one so now the question we have to answer was it a scam and what did they gain
