Legacy of Kain: Dead Sun

I'm sure it was cancelled for a good reason, but man I really want more Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver lore!

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 days ago

The Original Lawn Darts. Life is no fun without a bit of risk.

Mostly every Rare game.

  • Diddy Kong Pilot (the voxel version)
  • Dinosaur Planet
  • Donkey Kong Racing
  • Twelve Tales: Conker 64

I know 3/4 of these sort of got released, but the mode-7 style Banjo-Pilot is fundamentally not interesting to me, Star Fox Adventures is fine but was a lot more ambitious when it was on weaker hardware, and while Twelve Tales looked generic, Conker's Bad Fur Day is the least funny thing to ever attempt humor.

I didn't forget Donkey Kong: Coconut Crackers, I just don't mind missing out on that.

Nosgoth. An asymmetrical, team based shooter where you played as either vampires or vampire hunters. The vampires had more health and mobility but were only melee while the hunters had range and utility. It was buggy and imbalanced and I loved it and clocked like 500 hours before they shut it down.

Was a ton of fun, I played it daily til it shutdown, I love when multiplayer games have fun traversal mechanics, tho it leads to many quitting if they do terrible early on.

Really loved Battlefield Heroes as a kid. I’d love to play it again

Prey 2 : https://youtu.be/BPkHZfjK5z4

Some friends and I were so hooked on the gameplay demo (we're big fans of the Mass Effect trilogy), then it was cancelled and replaced by Prey, which was very different (more horror centric and less space opera)

[–] TheUnicornOfPerfidy@feddit.uk 4 points 5 days ago

The game was basically finished too. It was never released because of a pay dispute. The beginning of the Bethda heel turn.

[–] sauce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 days ago

The Cycle: Frontier. It was a pvpve extraction shooter that had such potential. Struggled to keep cheaters at bay, but it felt like they were making progress until one day they announced they were shutting down. Every month or two someone in our group chat brings it up and we're collectively sad that it's gone.

Anthem was a really great idea for a game that had an absolutely terrible execution.

Evolve stage 2! Very fun and very unique game. Their battle pass monetization scheme fizzled out and they took down the servers. There may be some community run servers going, but getting onto them for a small player base that's going to beat my ass just doesn't seem worth.

For anyone wondering, the game is Silent Hills. It was cancelled 10 years ago and you can still find people on eBay selling PS4s with the P.T. demo loaded on it for way too much money.

The StarCraft FPS.

I'm still mad about it.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

titan fall 2. never actually got to appreciate it because by the time i found it the server matching was completely broken. all they need to do is allow private servers or fix the matching system and the game would be playable. seems like plenty of people want to play it. I don't know why they decided let the game die instead. makes no damn sense.

City of Heroes, everything by Atari Games, the Wizardry series, the Ultima series, many others. I'm old, and I remember some of the games, and developers, we've lost.

Limit Theory. Quite the ambitious space simulator being developed by one dude. I recall seeing their dev log videos on youtube.

[–] Dil@is.hardlywork.ing 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Lawbreakers was my favorite, high skill floor and ceiling games are my favorite. I wish ppl gave it a chance past its artstyle but matchmaking was rouh with barely anyone and the best players were insanely raw because of that high skill ceiling, high floor made it hard to catch up or feel good in early games I think.

Mass Effect Andromeda. I absolutely love the game and have played through it multiple times, wishing for DLC. for an expansion of this wonderful universe that I love to explore.

sucks really bad that it will never come back 😔

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Guns of Icarus, my beloved.

Also, Global Agenda.

Obligatory “fuck Notch” but I really liked the idea of 0x10c when it was announced.

[–] undeffeined@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

Omg, i had completly forgotten about that one! I recall being so hyped about it...
