  • Top 10 Video Games SAVED By Last Minute ChangesVideo games are a complex medium that often go through numerous changes and iterations during the development process. Sometimes, these last-minute changes can make all the difference in creating an exceptional gaming experience. In this article, we will be counting down the top ten video games that were saved by the inclusion of crucial last-minute changes.Starting off our list at number ten is Bioshock, a game that takes players to the underwater city of Rapture. At the heart of the game's narrative is the character known as Atlas, who serves as the player's guide throughout their journey. Originally, the character was supposed to be voiced by Greg Baldwin, who also played the character of Frank Fontaine, Atlas' true identity. However, the developers decided to make a significant alteration by switching the voice actor to Carl Hanover, an Irish actor. This change not only added a distinctive Irish accent to the character but also helped conceal the twist and surprise players.Moving on to number nine, we have the Pokemon Red and Blue Versions. One of the biggest selling points of these games was the ability for players to connect their Game Boys using the Link Cable and engage in battles and trades with each other. However, the inclusion of live battling between players was not initially planned. In an interview, producer Shigeki Morimoto revealed that Nintendo insisted on adding this feature to the game. Initially, Morimoto was not enthusiastic about the idea, and the game had a system of automatic, randomized outcomes for battles. However, thanks to Nintendo's insistence, the developers made the last-minute addition of live battling, which became a staple of the Pokemon franchise.Continuing with our list...
  • Subtitles section
  • Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we'll be counting down our picks for the Top 10 Last Minute Changes That Saved Video Games.
  • For this list, we'll be going over the late additions to video games that significantly improved them and made them what they are today.
  • Also, since some of these changes involve plot elements, some spoilers ahead.
  • If there's a video game change you wish we'd added to our list last minute, it's not too late to tell us in the comments.
  • 10. ATLUS' VOICE ACTOR – BIOSHOCK The mysterious Atlas is the player's guide to the underwater city of Rapture.
  • Guiding the protagonist Jack through the city via radio, Atlas has a distinctive Irish accent, which he drops upon revealing his identity.
  • However, that wasn't always the case.
  • The character was originally intended to be voiced by Greg Baldwin, the same voice actor who plays Frank Fontaine, Atlas' real identity.
  • Although Baldwin planned to use a Southern American accent, it would have been easier to see the twist coming, at least for people good at recognizing voices.
  • Carl Hanover, an Irish actor, was brought on, and after test groups liked his performance, the developers kindly made the switch.
  • 9.
  • Including Linked Battles – Pokemon Red and Blue Versions One Of the biggest selling points of the original Pokemon games was the Link Cable, an accessory that let players join their Game Boys to trade and battle their Pokemon with each other.
  • However, the latter feature was a surprisingly late addition.
  • Producer Shigeki Morimoto revealed in an interview that Nintendo was insistent on players being able to fight their pocket monsters with each other.
  • He was not enthused with the idea at first, and the original feature had automatic, randomized outcomes instead of live battling.
  • Naturally, that didn't go over well, and they created the familiar back-and-forth combat that helped make Red and Blue such a success.
  • 8. The Awful Voice Acting – Resident Evil The original Resident Evil game is infamous for having some of the cheesiest, most bizarre voice acting ever in a video game.
  • It should come as no surprise that it was a slapdash production.
  • Although recorded in English, the actors were chosen by their availability in Japan, where it was recorded, not by their talent.
  • In addition, the script was translated directly from Japanese, meaning many of the awkward lines were the result of things being lost in translation.
  • Plus, the actors weren't given much if any direction, so they just read the lines as they were written.
  • It's debatable whether or not the voice acting saved the game, but it certainly made it more memorable.
  • 7. Removing the Auction House – Diablo III Most of these changes happened before the game was released, except this one.
  • Diablo III was originally released with an auction house feature.
  • This in-game item-buying system allowed players to purchase items from the game, either using currency from the game or the real world.
  • For a game series built around loot drops, this felt obtuse to some and even violated some country's gambling laws.
  • The outcry forced the developers to resign a large portion of the game, but after a few years Diablo III was fixed, and the auction house was no more.
  • 6. James McCaffrey Returning as Max Payne – Max Payne 3 Since The Max Payne series' inception, the character has been voiced by James McCaffrey.
  • However, during the development of Max Payne 3, Rockstar Games, who had bought the series, announced they were changing the voice actor to someone new to reflect the character's more mature appearance.
  • Fans balked at the change en masse.
  • While no replacement actor was announced, Rockstar eventually announced that James McCaffrey would be playing Max Payne once again, both in voice and in appearance this time.
  • While the game's ensuing acclaim could also be attributed to its story and gameplay, it just wouldn't have been the same without McCaffrey.
  • 5. Changing the Art Style – Borderlands There's A lot of post-apocalyptic shooters out there, but Borderlands has distinguished itself from the rest with its offbeat sense of humor as well as its cel-shaded art style.
  • Except, the latter was added quite late in the game's development.
  • Reportedly, the game was around 75% complete when the entire art style was overhauled.
  • This was done to help differentiate it from similar games in the genre, like Fallout.
  • While the original, more muted look for Borderlands might have found success, it was far less eye-catching than the final product.
  • Borderlands helped shooters become more colorful again after so much brown and grain.
  • 4. Battle Royale Mode – Fortnite We Can practically hear you in the comments.
  • What?
  • How is that possible?
  • Fortnite is the name in Battle Royale games.
  • It is now, but that wasn't the plan at first.
  • Fortnite began development as a co-op PvE game.
  • However, the success of Battle Royale games like PUBG led to part of the team developing Fortnite Battle Royale as a free spin-off.
  • The original Fortnite, Save the World, has since been overshadowed by the Battle Royale game mode, which has developed into a massive subculture due to being free, colorful, and having tie-ins with virtually every property known to humankind.
  • 3. A New Ending – The Last of Us The ending of The Last of Us is one of its most praised aspects.
  • Joel saves Ellie at the cost of a potential cure for the world.
  • However, the game was originally envisioned with a more happy and less morally ambiguous conclusion.
  • For much of the game's development, Tess was to be the game's antagonist, pursuing Joel and Ellie across the country.
  • Ellie's first human kill was to have been Tess to protect Joel.
  • The two would then have reached San Francisco, where they were trying to rebuild society.
  • Although the new ending changed a large part of the story and was not well-received among early testers, its reception grew more positive over time, and now we wouldn't have it any other way.
  • 2. Mimir's Head on Kratos' Belt – God of War This acclaimed action game had several monumental elements about it that nearly changed in development.
  • While it was tempting to talk about how Kratos' son Atreus was nearly cut entirely, we're discussing one of the god protagonist's other companions.
  • Mimir is a god who is freed from his imprisonment after Kratos cuts off his head and carries it with him attached to his belt.
  • Mimir provides insight, comic relief, and early warning in battle if someone's sneaking up behind Kratos.
  • And honestly, if Mimir's head being attached to Kratos' belt was the idea from the beginning, we'd be more surprised.

  • Adding Multiplayer – GoldenEye 007 Sure, GoldenEye 007 has a decent single-player campaign… for its time.
  • But what everyone remembers about it is its multiplayer.
  • Up to four players duking it out on various maps, it was the premium multiplayer shooter of its time.
  • And yet, this beloved part of the game wasn't added until six months after the game's release.
  • Programmed primarily by the programmer Steve Ellis, the multiplayer mode was created without the knowledge of Nintendo or Rare management.
  • It's amazing that something so crucial to the game's success and legacy was added so late and done by basically one man.
