Breach. An asymmetric game of 5 v 1 with the 5 heroes working through a dungeon crawl while the 1 enemy sets traps or controls random AI characters.
Star wars 1313 was THE game I was waiting for. Got very sad when it got cancelled.
Also all is the in-progress and for some completed content that just got shelved for Disney infinity because the new management at Disney forgot why games mattered. (Same time when they absolutely gutted lucasarts). Just for them to start from scratch again a few years later when they realised they still need a videogame presence. Which makes the losses of what could have been hurt more.
Star Wars Battlefront 3, 1313 Titanfall 3
Titanfall was so goddamn fun. Hey, do you like the combat in CoD: Modern Warfare 2? Do you also want to call in a giant mech suit once in a while? Well buckle up, Buttercup, cause I’ve got a game for you!
True Fantasy Live Online looked like it would have been amazing.
I’d like to play around with whatever alpha build they made for the original concept of Team Fortress 2.
I love the one that came out (it’s probably my most played game of all time), but those first few screenshots before retooling were captivating when we’d already been waiting so long for the release.
I remember those screenshots in the mags back in the day. Yes, I want to play that version, too - and the tank and heli looked so cool back then!
There was a demo reel of the spy as well that was incredible. I played untold hours of tfc. It is likely what made me a intellimouse fan (thumb buttons for both grenade types?! It was the future).
I truly miss conc grenades. There has never been a more versatile weapon in a game.
PT. Still have it saved on my PS4 I think.
Babylon 5: Into the Fire. Killed just months before release after a corporate restructure. The closest we got was some Freespace mods.
Marvel Heroes. Hopefully the private servers being worked on will be in a playable state someday.
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.
The Original Lawn Darts. Life is no fun without a bit of risk.
The StarCraft FPS.
I’m still mad about it.
The Culling
Before the devs ruined it by throwing away the movement and combat system.
Wasn’t canceled but they might as well have because they lost 99% of their playerbase from that one change in Beta.
The original concept for Bioshock infinite.
man, you just pissed me off reminding me of that game
Hawken. :(
Edit: Started to read through everyone else’s opinions and it dawns on me that this is just going to be a giant list of things I may have never even heard of that I might want to play, and can’t. You are a sadomasochist. :)
That game was very cool, had a good time even though i was rubish at it
Could also be someone doing market research/looking for ideas
Heheh.
Well if it helps, a lot of these are sequels the user was anticipating because they loved a predecessor, so you can go and play that :D
Hellraid! God damnit, I was so ready for a first pirson action dungeon crawler in the style of Dying Light 😥
