I always feel bad for the devs with these situations. I'm sure there's so much art and effort put into this game even if it sucked, and those people who made it now don't even get to show it off in action. Even if the final result sucked, it still sucks for those people who worked hard on elements of it.
Technically they still have it in their portfolio when they apply to their next, likely more lucrative job. 3D artists, illustrators, animators, etc, can use assets in highlight reels (usually, especially after NDA is cleared after release).
Also AAA titles are a collaborative effort. While it'll suck to see it panned, knowing you are just the guy who made the hands or something softens that blow.
If I worked on Concord, I probably wouldn't want to put whatever I did on it in my portfolio. Id just leave that one off and instead take whatever work I mighr have done, redesign it to be actually appealing, and then include that instead.
Why?
