Metroid Dread taught me that just because something could've been, doesn't mean it will never be.
That game sucked
@@McSquirtsboo womp
@@McSquirtsme when I lie
@@McSquirts As a Metroid veteran, I kinda agree BUT the boss fights and music were still there. The only thing I disliked was the difficulty on some bosses. I mean I love challenging games but the bosses were painfully difficult (Or maybe it was me, not playing/getting any metroid game in years and getting rusty lol)
@@skateorpie I’m confused why people love this game so much. You do realize this is a sequel to metroid fusion right? In no way does this game relate to it besides the little x bit in the beginning. And honestly the story is lame. I could care less about the robots or whatever they were called I already forgot and I played that game 3 months ago. Metroid fusion holds the title as the greatest and last great metroid side scroller to be made by nintendo imo. The fan creation of metroid II is great bit thats not even nintendo. All in all I am very dissatisfied and disappointed eith gaming companies now and I do not plan on spending money or time on video games from here on out, due to the endless disappointments since 2016.
As a horror fan, the loss of Silent Hills hurts my heart to this day
🕊️
You forgot about Star Wars: Republic Commando, It hasn't had a sequel for 18 years after ending on a major cliffhanger. The sequel was going to be called Imperial Commando
I wish they did, hope they at least give it a remake tho
Trying to artificially create a esport scene will always lead to a games failure imo
Maybe besides The Finals as of right now
I think last time I played SplitGate, it had forge when Infinite had just realized. It was slightly insane to see that they were able to do forge with such a sizeable team compared to 343.
SplitGate is so addicting
Last I heard, PlayStations with PT still installed on the hard drive go for thousands of dollars, since it's impossible to find anywhere else
No one buys them though. They are on EBay for that much but never sell plus you need to give up you PS account in order for the new owner to play it
Any hacked ps4 can play it, it's easy to find. 😉
Less than 250 for a PS4 with P.T.
I honestly have no hope for cod anymore
i have no hope for you COD hater
@@mattalan6618Ok kid💀
Why did you still have hope? MW 2019 was the lone hit they had in the last like 8 years
Dear lord. We HAD Ghosts, with a great story. But unfortunately, the fat sweaty nerds who just like to sweat through their faux leather chairs while they act as fodder for good players in MP didn't like it. They only like COD if its like MW2, and has all its focus on MP. Then they'll BITCH when the story isn't good. What a cycle gamers!
@@mattalan6618Real
The biggest crime against humanity was the cancelation of battlefront 3 and then letting EA crate the garbage franchise we have today
Amen
I still long for Star Wars 1313 to exist with each day that goes by. Being a huge Star Wars Bounty Hunter fan I've always wanted another game similar to it, but more modernized. It's a shame Bounty Hunter isn't very well known and I was hoping with the popularity around the Mandalorian would spark interest in a company to make Star Wars 1313 or a game similar to it...I'm sure it'll never happen though and I'll just continue to be depressed about it until the day I die.
I've never even heard of star wars bounty hunter
@mrmyaccount1000 Thanks for letting me know I guess...? Lol. But on a real note, it was a really good game that came out many years ago. Almost all my friends played it as well as I did. 🤷♂️
apparently there was a Mandalorian videogame in the making that got cancelled by EA not long ago
Radical heights had some really unique stuff. Drive by with a bmx was top tier. You could also do tricks
Ring of Elysium had this as well. The glider was even better.
the dive roll felt perfect. very fast and fluid feeling game.
I adored evolve when I first got it, here's the problem I found. Most people wanted to play as the monster, and you normally aren't the monster. This meant that lobbies would be made, and then immediately 3 people drop because they wanted to be the monster. That game was so fun. My wraith and bucket didn't lose
Agreed. Either adding bots for suvivors or just doubling the match size to have 2 monsters wouldhave helped a lot
I was the opposite, I preferred playing as the humans
@@JixxyyySame, felt badass taking down something the size of a mansion
My problem with Evolve was that it was the first game I played where it was blatantly obvious that the game I paid $60 for was only 70% of the intended experience. They clearly had the additional monsters designed and ready at release but decided to make you pay extra. I booted the game for the first time and saw that there were 2 monsters available to play as and 2 that were available to purchase. Have you ever given money to a struggling relative that had issues with drugs but was showing signs of heading the right direction? Only to have them immediately blow the money you gave them and ask you for more money? That’s what booting up this game for the first time felt like.
P.T is my favorite horror game even though it never really dropped
Man so many of these I wish got sequels, but a Spec Ops The Line sequel would have been insane (though I don’t really know where the story would have gone) still in my opinion the best war story told in a game and overall depiction of PTSD in a video game
Also Star Wars 1313 hurts to not get either, especially that gameplay that came out where it had really good smooth free running animations for the time it was around
Spec ops the line if it does get a sequel would need to be a very different game because that was a very definitive ending not meant to be expanded upon.
Well there was a planned but later canceled dlc that would follow adams trying to escape Dubai
@@makoshark4838 tru, but I would still have loved to see something related to, i mean i even mentioned in my comment I don’t know where the story would even go 🤣
Anyone remember scalebound? I can't help imagining what that game would be like with 9th gen tech. Balls to the wall platinum action with dragon mounts and coop, how in the world did it ever get cancelled 😮💨
I really wish Ghosts II came out so we could have a conclusive ending to the cliffhanger from Ghosts. Fans would have loced it more so than the failure that was the Modern Warfare reboot trilogy. I would at least, I enjoyed Ghosts to begin with.
of course someone who liked ghosts thinks the new modern warfares are a failure 😂😂😂
@e7193 You're really going to bat for MW3 2023? Got some mighty cajones my friend
@@e7193 He is right when it comes to the story.
Y’all forgot Monday Night Combat. That game was too good. I wish they never gave up on it
As someone who was a huge fan of Evolve, I frankly don't think the DLC controversy killed it. It certainly gave the game a poor reputation on launch but the fundamental issue was how the game was structured.
The game at launch demanded the hunters to run around a map chasing a monster. A match would take 15-20 minutes but more than half the time spent by the hunters is chasing a monster that is incentivised to hide and run until they hit stage 2 or 3. It just wasn't very fun for the hunters. Especially if the monster was an expert at hiding or the trapper player was clueless.
Another issue was with matchmaking. Specifically how the game assigned roles. In Evolve, you simply ranked the roles in order you wanted to play them. Let's say you really didn't want to play Medic so you put it at the very bottom of the priority queue. You get matched up with 4 other players. But all 5 of you put Medic as bottom priority. The end result is that someone is going to end up playing a character class you really did not want. You'll end up frustrated and more likely to not want to play anymore. Heck, people auto leaving the match because they ended up as the medic is a common sight.
And honestly, the four hunters all need to do their job and be on point to win. This wasn't like other competitive shooters or MOBAs where an ace player can potentially carry the team to victory. In Evolve, all 4 Hunters are essential and having one as a bot or even an incompetent player would usually be an automatic loss for the team.
If the Monster player screws up, they only have themselves to blame. But if one out of the four hunters screw up, the team will crumble to an almost comical degree.
I actaully really loved ghosts when it came out. It was the first call of duty I bought myself, and I bought the season pass, and it was the first call of duty I prestiged in. It was also the last call of duty I played until the most recent mw2.
One thing I've learned throughout the years is that, there is so many games that people wished that actually released, but reality has shown us that, if these were actually released, there is a big chance that a huge chunk of those ended up bad and make people go "WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA??"
If silent hills PT would have happened the main question is would have resident evil 7 happen?? and been as popular in my opinion silent hill the direction they was going on horror would of won that and took the attention that resident evil 7 gets now even village
Such a great video! Loving your Channel been crushing your videos all day while at work
DMZ was so enjoyable to me. It launched a bit light on content but holy hell it really hit its stride especially with the later seasons. It was my go to for the whole year. Seeing the confirmation that it's support is over broke my heart.
I got into dmz quite late season 5 maybe start of season 6 but I agree with every point made here dmz was the shit and each match was different from the last I'm still holding out a bit of hope it'll be updated and less hopeful but hoping that they update the movement to mw3
@@corndog0043 I don't think that's gonna happen. It's sad to see because the experience was truly something special. The narratives that could form just from playing the game and rolling with whatever happens is something I'll never forget. I had so many experiences that felt like they could've been a campaign mission
It would have more players of it was pve only lol. We didn't need another pvp mode and what was basically warzone lite. All the griefing didn't help it aswell because you tend to make people not wanna touch a mode no more when losers can camp high up the whole match with sniper rifles ore people who make it they lives just to hide in exfil zones
True. It was pretty based
A game I remember being canceled before it saw the light of day was Command & Conquer: Tiberium. It was suppose to be a FPS set in the C&C universe.
I'll be honest, what happened with Cyberpunk is what is wrong with modern gaming. They released an unfinished game (not just a little buggy but unplayable in most systems) and just because months later they fixed people praise it. The worst part is that they didn't fix all versions, meaning PS4 gamers who bought it physical were outright scammed, but since now it works in modern consoles and PC people just forgot about it. And developers and investors know that they can hype people and not release a complete game on launch day because the people they scammed will be the first to defend them.
StarFox Adventure is my favorite Rare game and that is saying a lot!
Radical heights was so good Im so sad it died. The 80s aesthetic was really unique the gameplay was smooth me and my friends had a great time playing I'll always miss it.
Always gonna miss what prey could have been. That Native American aspect and spiritualism combating aliens was so damn cool.
The old trailer for prey 2 still gets me hyped. Just straight up space bounty hunting shit
It really did seem ALIEN, in a way you rarely see in media. The atmosphere was also very seedy, and the whole vibe just seemed VERY different than what we were accustomed to.
Ghosts had a really good story IMO. The MP was rough, but man, that story! I wish we could have gotten resolution to that cliffhanger.
I read fan stories to fill the void!
Great vid and finally I’m not the only one that thinks Cod ghosts is underrated :)
Shame they didn't talk about Too Human. That game was supposed to have a sequel, and it had a lot of potential but eventually got fucked by development hell throughout the entire development of the first game and continued after it's release. I barely remember the details for it, but that game's development story is wild
Love these hour videos!
It felt so good knowing what Dinosaur Planet was already, really supporting my username
Now I wish Cyberpunk got multiplayer. Me and my buddies really wanted that
That Dragonforce song you're thinking of is Fury Of The Storm
Prey 2 would relate to 1. Tommy was going to be in it as a secondary main character.
honorable mention to Paragon. pretty sure that got killed by Fortnite BR too
That halo mega bloks game looked really neat ngl
Crazy how Metroid Dread escape such a fate
Ngl, cod Ghost was part of my childhood. I remember how me, my brother, and my cousins would play that game a lot while listening to Tuesday by Drake. Good times
R.I.P Splitgate. Such a fun concept
Me and my friends are always talking about wanting a COD Ghosts sequel… Especially with that damn cliffhanger ending
Wait are you trying to say that Ghosts has a better campaign than Infinite Warfare?
Because that’s ostensibly just not true in terms of narrative, characters and story presentation etc.
Star Wars battlefront 3 actually had a leaked build a few years ago. In a playable state!
Bought Evolve Digital Deluxe Edition for somewhere around $80 on release. It was a fun game but if no one is playing it then it dies. I understand why everyone quit.
I was really looking forward to silent Hill pt, was so cool
I played Radical Heights. It was a game by Cliffy B iirc that’s why it had hype. But it was super early access and died out very fast cuz there was almost no content but one map.
Marvel Avengers was just delisted but you were able to buy it for four dollars for the game and all DLC just recently
Radical heights was so damn fun. It was a goofier version of something like PUBG and was hilarious to play. Riding bikes with your friends and flipping around the level was so much fun.
Plus it was filled with bugs, which I understand many people were frustrated about, but for us it was so funny. I still remember taking bikes and climbing vertical walls and just cracking up as we shot down at people.
When hes talking about Resident Evil "I got stuck and gave up" Literally me with the RE1 Remaster
Splitgate still has a relatively large player base and I can get into matches pretty easy, event though I'm on console. The game is still enjoyable and they have a weekly playlist, besides the normal modes, filled with fun modes.
HOLY. SHIT. STARFOX ADVENTURES. you just unlocked part of my childhood
DMZ was so fun and it had a great community with it
My list - Total Overdose 2, Scarface 2, Ultimate Spider-Man 2. ... Scarface 2 would be made by Radical, who made Scarface 1 and Simpsons Hit n Run. But after their owner Vivendi got purchased by Activision, Activision cancelled Scarface 2. And it could be because of Prototype and Sleeping Dogs. Radical's second team was making Prototype and new studio was making Sleeping Dogs, back then know as Black Lotus aka True Crime Hong Kong. Activision told that Scarface 2 was cancelled because there were too many open-world game already in works. There were only 2 games in works, already mentioned Prototype 1 and Sleeping Dogs. ... and heck. Activision even dropped that True Crime game and SquareEnix took it and released as Sleeping Dogs. But Sleeping Dogs didn't sell over 2mil, and its spin-off didn't go so well, so Square cancelled Sleeping Dogs 2. ... p.s. USM 2 was cancelled because of Activision too.
Ah evolve. I was a kraken main, elder kraken specifically, I miss it.
Love the inclusion of cod ghost, frankly one of the most underrated and more balanced cods to date. Killer campaign as well, me and my friends always cope each year hoping to see its story continued.
Dice wanted to make Battlefront 3 and proposed doing so. EA said no.
R6P is referenced in sieges storyline and ghost recon wild lands so it’s canon (ashame it’ll probably never get released, also there was a military controversy tied to patriots)
Evolve was painful for me. Loved that game
i will be pissed about P.T. until the day i die
24:44 not mentioning bad fur day in that roster is crazy.
33:58 "rpg game"
role playing game game???
also playable teasers have been done a bunch, wdym? they're called demos
I didn’t even know there was actually three Time Splitters
the rest of the bc2 campaign was the MP i’ve heard
I’m not a cod fan like that but me and my ex played tf outta ghost and we both loved it or at least I did. The guns were just my type
51:08 Bethesda didnt meet the standards they wanted from Prey 2 so it got canceled ( even first prey took ten years to develop ) and Bethesda told arkane studios to slap Prey name on their new project that has nothing to do with the other prey .
Worst part is, the newer 'Prey' is great, but its name ends up meddling things a lot and confuses newcomers to the franchise
The modern prey has more in common with Metroid than anything
Surprise no megaman mention, specially Legends 3
I love Call of Duty Ghosts, never understood the hate, and I always wanted to see a sequel. Star Wars 1313 is tragedy
Blame Disney for star wars 1313 being canceled !!
Cod Ghosts campaign was underrated in my opinion.
I mean it’s ur opinion but i totally disagree 👍
Ghosts2 was probably that NX1 project
Rainbow Six Patriots will always be a Sad Missed Opportunity in gaming.
A chance to actually make a player Uncomfortable similar to the great Spec Ops the Line Game.
Command & Conquer: Generals 2 , Canceld after an alpha test. And the one i whanted and many more "END of Nation" sad story there
Evolve still hurts😢😢 idk how they messed that up so bad
I don’t mind RE6 as a whole game. It’s not perfect but reasonably enjoyable.
However as a Resident Evil game it’s garbage.
it is. but if you look at it like an action survival game set in that world like say what Outbreak was then its not bad
Rainbow six hurts i just remember seeing the trailer drop on G4
Man I forgot about scaleblund, that could have been such a fun game I think
I still load up anthem on my pc sometimes cause the game looks amazing
Jesus, P.T. was in 2014? fuuuuuuuu
I was a huge walking dead fan from season 4 onward. Tbh I wish Daryl had died much earlier now and we had kept Carl and Andrew Lincoln. They were the hearts of the show and Daryl was just a grunting mess.
I wouldn't mind if they had just canceled Silent Hills, happens all the time. But Konami removing P.T. from the PS store forever was the biggest D move in the history of D moves. I will never forgive Konami for that, and they are still scummy bags today.
I played that Rainbow Six Extraction ingame event and beat everything on every difficulty for the charms, it’s really sad they didn’t bring it back every Halloween.
Extraction was a terrible idea. I miss old Rainbow Six from when I was a kid
Evolve’s devs messed up so bad. If they didn’t screw it up with dlc and charging $2 for the color blue.. oh what could’ve been. Evolve looked so good for its day in graphics, it just needed refinement in gameplay
Battlefront 3 being canceled while being basically done was suuuper lame. I loved those games on PS2, I wanted a third.
I also wanted a third left 4 dead.
Hated Valve for that one for a long time
Oh man, I almost spent over $100+ I think on the ultimate founders version of Anthem before the game came out I think, believing it could be another Warframe. I’m glad I realized EA was behind it because it got canceled so fast after they gave up.
I’m so happy when games get leaked like Duke Nukem Forever OG.
It’s too bad Project Origin (original FEAR 2) was never leaked because Monolith ruined the final game.
The Original Prey was good but Prey 2017 was significantly better
Rainbow six seige had zombies not aliens and it had a side campiagn with it as well as outfits and u had special limited charms if u played the hardcore mode where friendly fire was on, and i collected every single charm there was, where i spend all day amd night just to get them and when i heard that rainbow was eplanding on the idea ,i thought it was be more of the same cuz the gameplay of the mode then was cod zombies with elements of seige soo i thought extraction was gonna be the same thing but instead they turned into something completely differnt, then wat i experienced back in late 2019 , i was extremely disappointed cuz the game was marketed as ,wat happened with the zombies after operation chimera and it was to continue the story from the zombies mode but they changed the story, changed the disease itself, the zombies, the gameplay and how the zombies interacted with the environment and players, they basically recon everything from rainbow six seige and acted like it ever happened and even they environments originally designed from seige was scapped cuz they had a motel map, city map, suburbs map, farm map with barn, and a hosital map ,trailer park map and most of it was all connected like a giant map like bruh 😭 and after that around late 2021 seige began to self sensor about the game and changed everything ,now the game feels more its a hero shooter than a Tactical shooter thats y i dont play rainbow anymore cuz it doesnt feel the same anymore and the devs show favoritism with the operators cuz some of them have more than one elite outfit and eaxh one is worth like 20$ and the elite outfits were supposed to be origanlly ww2 inspired outfit but with steampunk aesthetic, now some elites skins are just like y, and i even bought some when the style was like the ww2 inspried ones but now its not evem worth it anymore , cuz they just throw whatever and expect u to like it 😒 and then the devs rather have cool limited skins then to actually fix the game or bugs or constantly tweaking the operators 😒 instead of making every operator unqiue amd play to there strength amd leave it alone ,on top of that they rather listen to anyone that complains about a certain operator thats to strong and should be nurfed😒🤦 like for example, ofc LMG is gonna be stronger than the SMG so like y are they nurfing the LMG then ,so the SMG can be on the same lvl as the LMG🤦 it ridiculous ,its not even realistic anymore
save the world was left back so bad that i realized they started giving out free codes for it in skin packs for the BR portion of fortnite, Just insane.
Rainbow Six Patriots was canceled, but many elements of it did get repurposed for Rainbow Six Siege. Elite Squadron was also released on the DS, which many people, me included, consider the superior version of the game. Not only that, but leaked builds of Battlefront 3 on the internet give weight to the idea the game was almost finished when it was canned.
I personally loved CoD DMZ, and never played Tarkov because I hated how Tarkov looked and doing my research on the game would have never played due to I dislike everything I see about it so it saddened me that the only thing I liked about the genre is being cancelled.
Marvel midnight Suns from what I know (which isnt a whole lot) it seems like a good game there was a lot of good visuals and costumes for our favorite marvel characters and it had a running story but everyone hated how it was a card game I don't know what support it gets now or if it's fell off or not but maybe It should be included next time. Also I Used To Play Evolve When It First came out at my friends house, it hurts my soul to now hear about it 9 years later and how it ended
6:33 Anyone know the background music here?
i absolutely loved bad company. it still is one of the best stories
Think you meant to say advanced warfare at 3:58 instead of infinite warfare
What about a rainbow siege game with gangs from around the world could be a bit of a mix up
Oh i beg yall to try dead space 3 fully. Especially with your friend.
Timesplitters 4 for ps3 just got bought and is preserved
The thing that killed Splitgate for me was when they allowed community maps. The community were very bad at designing good arenas and you had maps there were completely flat apart from a couple of buildings and there was no cover. These maps were included in the map rotations with no quality control so you went from playing on nice looking well designed maps that worked to promote a fun game with the portal gameplay, to very poorly made maps with no surfaces to plant portals on, no cover, no verticality. Designing game levels is a skilled profession, and while putting a level editor into a game is often a good thing, in this case, just releasing all the terrible maps into the wild so that you had no choice but to play on them turned me right off.
I really had high hopes for evolve I was loving it
😭😭😭
Silent hill f has to be a meme lmao 😂 f’s in the chat for silent hills pt
Glad to see Heroes of the Storm recognized. Thankfully they left it in a good state and my group of friends still play it every week, but man it could have been so much more if Blizz execs had properly supported it.
The cycle released as a fast paced game then copied tarkov and slit its own neck
Man I loved save the world I put in hundreds of hours and spent hella money but they abandoned the game when br became popular
I thought dvolve was a fever dream i had
Yall forgot command and conquer generals 2
I enjoyed ghosts from day 1 with my friends we never understood the hate wish we got ghosts 2
Rainbow Six Patriots being replaced by Siege is such a disappointment, i first saw Evolve as PAX East and they had a tournament going on and it was actually alot of fun to watch.
The absolute tragedy of Black Isle Studios not being able to flesh out more of the Planescape setting. Or maybe it's better that we only got Planescape Torment and it's spiritual successor.
