I think we have a new champion

Mighty No. 9 's INSANE 4-hour Credits for all 70,000 Kickstarter Backers

Yup. It's this.

I never understood why PR, HR/administrative support, legal, shit even finance teams have to be credited in games. It seems to go way further away from the creative team than movies do, for example.

Yeah, I agree. No offence intended, but I couldn't care less about the Taiwanese localisation team or the Parisien legal team. I just want to see the developers, other key things like composer or actors and any middleware used and that's about it. I don't need to see half of the total employees from Ubisoft included because one time they sent an email to the producer.

I think we have had this topic before but Spinter Cell Conviction comes to mind.

I literally got up, made a sandwich and came back to the credits still rolling. I remember sitting there stairing at the credits and thinking "I feel sorry for whoever had to write all this".

Credits - naming the people who, you know, deserve credit.

What you want to see is completely irrelevant, it's about giving the people who worked on a game recognition, no matter what their function is within the organization. If it's 50 people, it's 50. With Ubi games it's often closer to 1000 divided into several studios across the world, so obviously the credits are longer.

This can't be the best way to have done this. Four hours is insane!

Does Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster count? (30 minutes)

 

[Maximus P]

It's Mighty No. 9, period.

Literally 4 fucking hours long.

I'm posting it again:

They could have saved an hour just by having a smaller font...and another 2 hours and 55 minutes by having a 'thanks to our 69000 generous backers who didn't want to be named'

They way it's done now makes it hard for backers that left their name to be found....but that may be a good thing seeing how the game turned out.

Snatcher endtitles on MSX2 are 17 minutes. 17 minutes! On an 8 bit system:

I honestly thought the Ratchet & Clank games (PS2) were pretty long, until I notice they loop back to the start and you just need to press a button to move on IIRC.

Lefo Jurassic World has some pretty long credit scenes when you finish a movie. Goes on forever but good way of farming for studs.

 

[Lapidus' Beard]

I remember getting a trophy for sitting through the credits of DJ Hero.

 

[Theanine3D]

I remember Rayman Legends' credits taking forever. Ubisoft's games generally tend to do this.

A recent one I noticed was Watch_Dogs, Ubisoft has got so many teams working on it's games.
