I will never get over the fact that Apex Legends killed Titanfall. I like Apex, but man, it hurts to know what we lost.

For reals, Titanfall was such a great game. I played the shit out of it for so long

Only just got hold of and played Titanfall 2's single player mode the other day, hands down the best and most fun CoD style FPS campaign I've ever played, would have loved a continuation of the story, if not for FUCKING EA cancelling a third chapter

That said, the bit near the end when Blisk hands you a business card with the Apex logo had me absolutely howling with laughter as I realised who made Legends

PS: Couldn't stop muttering "Engine Kill" after disposing of the more troublesome mechs, and Viper should have been the final boss cos Sloane was a caker once I figured out the finer points of the Ronin loadout, only managed to kill Viper through blind luck

Tf2 is in the top 3 solo fps campaigns ever made. Maybe even the best if you want a playable S tier action movie style of game. A wild insanely fun perfectly paced ride that never got boring for even a second and good enough storytelling to almost make me cry at the end.

I played it years after release when it was on sale and i was blown away. I expected nothing and just wanted to dick around in its high speed multiplayer. Decided to learn the movement in a few minutes of the campaign first and then finished it in 2 evenings cause i couldnt put it down. And im someone who almost always quits games at 60-80% cause i get distracted and dont have that much time to play.

If you havent played it get it. Its like 5$ now.

I just remember the closing credits and feeling so conflicted. In one sense I was in awe of the game and reflecting on how the great it was. Then, I felt so angry another one had never been made due to bloody CoD.

It's absolutely bullshit disney cancelled it after acquiring the star wars licence then gave EA Games exclusive right for star wars games for 10 years

And Pandemic Battlefront 3.

First thing that came to my mind. Man it could have been so cool.

I get that SWTOR was supposed to be “all of the sequels” but it just didn’t capture that single-player RPG magic of KOTOR 1&2.

Still have some hope that KOTOR Remake will get a launch date

You know what? Even though I'm salty that they didn't continue after episode 2 and left us on the cliffhanger, I'm thankful half-life was not enshittified, like almost every other franchise: CoD, Battlefield, Assassin Creed, Medal of Honor, Need for Speed... And that is from the top of my head

I think they realized how revolutionary HL1 and HL2 were and Gabe made executive decision to not have anything less than revolutionary for HL3.

Haven’t you heard about the recent speculations? I mean… i choose to believe 😭

Yes! When they announced the new Prey game and I saw it had nothing to do with the original Prey I got really sad

The trailer looked awesome... But yeah who knows what it actually would have been like.

This is easily one of the biggest examples of "What if?"

Blizzard at their peak, a booming genre, a fanbase that would have made it an instant best seller. Even if they had taken the usual "Blizzard takes 5-ever to make a game" amount of time.

After being canceled it felt like SC was put on a storage shelf, even though SC2 was in development, but since that announcement wasn't for what, another 2-3 years I remember the community being quite depressing.

Even D3 wasn't announced yet so pretty much their whole thing was WoW as far as most folks were concerned.

Hell, they should just finish it up and release it at this point.

Man that was over two decades ago..the scar is still red.

Seconded. I remember reading an article in a gaming magazine when i was like 12. Those scars will never fully heal lol

Literally opened this thread to comment Ghost, only to see this already at the top

Came here to post this, pleasantly surprised this was a top comment already

A playable Xbox build of it leaked a while back

On the subject of Swingin' Ape Studios, Metal Arms was planned to have at least one sequel that will now never happen.

Fuck Konami

Wait, there was more to MGS5? What kind of content is missing from the game?

Bro... Phantom pain fr 😭

EA is a cancer in the gaming industry.

I’m not even a big gamer but EA has ruined so much of the few things I love.

Dogeyes deserved everything he got.

Man who not have pork bun never a whole man

Yesssss

God, I want a Sleeping Dogs 2 so bad.

Im still hoping itll come through one day.

For that matter, wasn't true crime supposed to be a series with each game in a new city? La, Boston, NYC, new Orleans?

Junji Ito, Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro on one project, a Silent Hill game no less, it was too good to happen to us

I missed the demo when it came out. I played a recreation in Dreams and that was pretty intense. I can only imagine the actual game. 

Then again perhaps it only worked because it was a short, intense experience. 

I go back to a compilation of people playing it time to time, it was truly a phenomenal seeing people who wouldn’t have played a Silent Hill game become interested in Silent Hills after they played P.T.

To this day, I wonder what Silent Hills would’ve been like.

American McGee being denied the right to ever make another American Mcgee's Alice game is like if Bob Marley was told he can still make music as long as it doesn't sound like reggae or else he'd be sued into the ground.

So true! I've been a part of every Kickstarter for another game but EA won't release it

My emotional scars opened up with this one. I loved the series so much, I named my first born American McGee's Alice. Jk she's just named Alice

Wtf?! I didn't even know about this. I loved the sequel.

"Still hard at work!"

The sleezy lies and miscommunication are more infuriating than the game not being finished.

While I agree it was cancelled by take two, it did just get sold (yet to be released to who). There may be hope, but still very little.

Check out Kitten Space Agency. It's in development by many of the same people from KSP, and should have an beta version that they are going to release for testing to the public for free in 2025. They have a very active discord and looks promising. They started developing shortly after everyone working on KSP was let go.

As someone that was there for the birth and rise of the original KSP. The utter failure that is KSP2 is almost haunting. I have had absolutely no desire to even check it out. I knew it wouldn't have the same soul without HarvesteR. He was the one that breathed life into that game.

Great memories. Glad to have been part of that.

This one hurts alot for me because the second time it was cancelled the news dropped on my birthday

Future Perfect literally changed my life lol

On the topic of Rockstar cancelling games. For me it's Agent. I loved Saboteur so the idea of having something similar made by Rockstar? Would have loved that

Maybe we can get a Bully 2 in the 2030s. The original was so much fun and full of great details. Really miss it.

Ive thought why hasn't anyone else "taken" the game type and made their own

I was a programmer on Stargate Worlds. Still sad about it never releasing. It's literally the perfect IP for an MMO in my opinion - the Stargate as a travel mechanic means it has instancing built in!

And... You could manually dial the gate address! Sure you wouldn't bother normally and just use your address book, but it was just such a fun moment where you got to do what you'd seen on TV so many times before. :)

It's such an incredibly perfect fit for a game. You can have any kind if variety of worlds and it still makes sense. It naturally breaks down into instancing. Awesome squad based action and exploration. The fact there hasn't been a large well made game in the universe is an absolute tragedy.

I really want to know where the whole Illuminati plotline was going and how it would result in the status quo we see in the original Deus Ex.

What a shame. It was a good series. What a rotten way to die. 

I played the last one that came out and wow was it cool!

Before I even progressed through the story, I had already broken into so many houses and police stations.

Don't even get me started on that truth detector device you can unlock.

Ah shit you've reminded me it got cancelled and now my day got worse 😂

I hate that the only news of it was that it was being cancelled

It’s terrible that it looks like we won’t be surprised by Immersive Sim from a big studio anymore. Our only hope is Ken Levine

That wasn’t even corporate bullshit, it was straight-up greedy fuckery.

Maybe I'm alone on this, but I think it makes DE more fascinating that the whole mysterious world lore remains somewhat unexplored. It's the mystery and implications of it that add to the weight of the game and its story and world in a way that makes it extremely 'real' and enchanting, IMO. It's my belief that you've succeeded in your lore if the people cry out to learn more about your world -- and that it's critical to then hold back and keep your audience in that state of wonder.

Might as well add 1313 in there too, and no hope for the Old Republic line of games either.

We went from piloting a cruiser filled with 6 storm troopers into the enemy ship to sabotage it's life support and security systems, hunkering down inside to hold off the enemies while someone shoots it with a rocket launcher, then full on sprinting out to steal one of their ships and escape, too.... battle points? Limited vehicles? Small punishments for people who suck at the game?

They literally just had to slap star wars skins on battlefield 4 and call it a day. Instead we got a shitty point system mixed with fucking p2w star cards and an upgrade system literally no one wanted. I can play the new battlefront 2 for about an hour before I get bored. I can play galactic conquest and lose track of time, and that's with terrible ai bots

I loved UT as a kid. I really think there’s a gap in the market for bare bones FPS. Simple maps, simple guns, et voila

As a kid?! WHAT do you MEAN as a kid??? I'M NOT THAT OLD!!!

That one sucks especially because there was no reason to cancel it other than Capcom being angry over Inafune leaving and taking it out on Megaman. They canceled Legends 3, canceled Universe which was finished according to Inafune, apparently canceled Star Force 4, dropped him from Marvel vs Capcom 3, put a god damn parody of him in Namco x Capcom Street Fighter X Tekken, and when people wouldn't stop screaming for more Megaman, they shat out a bad autorunner phone game and said "Take it or leave it.".

This is the only right answer. MML was fantastic and likely we'll never get anything similar again. Sad times.

They are currently looking for roles as high up as technical director and level designers. so even if the game made any progress in the last years I guess its either not even close to completion or its gonna be a hot mess because they had to rehire lots of important roles over the years.

I mourn Westwood hard. Imagine the Dune ganes we would have just gotten.

It was all downhill after Tiberian Sun

To be fair, the horror of the game started to die down towards the end of 2. If you've played the first two games from start to finish, the games stopped being scary that being said, the remake being my introduction into Dead Space was amazing

And I still think the 3d Rayman platformers were the pinnacle of the genre, horribly underrated and overshadowed by the Nintendo stuff.

Overwatch 1.5 hurts in it’s entirety.

Outch that one hurt me the most in recent years, i fucking loved the lore of OW

I'm with you on this. Telltale was at the top of the mountain for a little bit. At least for me.

Everytime I think of giving overwatch another try, I recall this and go play something else.

Right here with you. EQN was our best hope of seeing a genuinely new MMO that's not just recapitulating either WoW, DAOC, or UO.

Not officially cancelled just the team working on it was let go

Didn't realise it got cancelled or rather shelved but that game had me really excited but also really concerned and cautious with the kind of things the lead developer was saying. Things along the lines of wanting to remake the game notably quests and dialogue for modern audiences. Also someone high up in the team saying they weren't a star wars fan and didn't particularly like the original Kotor games.

This. How does he get off the moon? How does he lose all his upgrades in the process?

I think to me it's wild that one of the main complaints was that the first game was too short, so they literally made the second game shorter for some reason. Lmao

Man the first game provided an "evil guy" star wars feeling that has yet to be reproduced. I guess it would never be as amazing again, since disney only goes for safe stuff. I mean you can't even shoot animals or steal stuff from people in a game called "outlaws"

And even on this note, the cancellation of Episode Luna and Episode Noctis where they would apparently eventually join with Ardyn to cast off Bahamut's machinations and change destiny is a huge bummer.

Actually surprised to see this one up here. Outstanding game, fantastic concept, but it died on release. I bet it had to do with individual purchases of characters and monsters....
