What games deserve a Dev Commentary

[Zloth]

Frindis posted a topic last year about games with audio commentary, but what games would you like to see get a commentary and why?

The first one that comes to my mind is Batman: Arkham Asylum. Where did they get that combat system? How did they decide on what villains to include? Just how many easter eggs are in that thing? And, most of all, what possessed them to make that weak boss fight at the end!?

I'd like to see dev commentary from Ubisoft where they explain that gamers aren't smart enough for their games, or maybe a 10 second documentary from the PowerWash Simulator devs where they say, "We came up with the idea to clean stuff with a power washer."

But I would actually love to see a documentary with the Kingdoms Reborn solo dev that goes through how he's managed to do this project by himself.

I also wouldn't mind seeing a Palworld documentary just because the CEO of Pocket Pair is hilarious and would probably troll everyone in various ways. People on X would spend the next two weeks demanding he step down, after which he would make a video of himself laughing at people on X.

I think a career retrospective with Suda51 would be fun.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance would probably be fascinating if just for the history lessons alone.

While I've never played any, I feel like the Metal Gear Solid series would be interesting with developer commentary. A quick Google search informed me that MGS 3 has commentary, but only in Japanese.

Ooooo, MGS V: Phantom Pain could get a bit... spicey. Same with Sword of the Stars 2.

Thinking about this some more, I think RE4 remake should have had commentary from the original devs. I remember when the 2nd game was remade that people asked them if they were going to keep the campy dialogue, and they said that at the time they didn't realize they were doing campy dialogue, that they were just mimicking Hollywood blockbusters, which I thought was interesting and also explained a lot of the horrible dialogue found in some Japanese games still to this day.

It's difficult for me to come up with games deserving commentary because I haven't played most of the big older games.
