>>729617471Battleriteno game has top down combat as fun, someone other than the morons at stunlock needs to rip off the idea
Dreams, but only if they actually fucking port it to newer systems
Mega Man Legends
Rumbleverse>but the character models ar-Fuck you. Best game of its type ever made and it dies in fucking 7 months. Fuck Epic too, a Steam release could've at least given it another year.
>>729617471Tribes 2

>>729617471I've always wondered where Fred would go in LBA3 but now I really don't care, and that slapped together unity shitshow was the final nail
Soulcalibur, but specifically a remake of Soulcalibur II with rollback netcode>Soulcalibur isn't dead, thoughIt's been 7 years since VI without a peep about a new game, it's dead.
>>729618207I bought a VR headset for it
Castlevania 64Alternatively Shining Force
>>729618604You linkfags deserve nothing. Soulcalibur II should only be re-released without the guest characters so you have no reason to play it because you are tourist and a poser.

>>729617471Battleborn and EVOLVE.I yearn for the timeline where gearbox didn't just make borderlands every game forever. Also evolve was way ahead of the curve and if it succeeded we wouldn't have gotten back for blood.I would say toontown, for my niggas that are toon enough, but Corporate Clash and other such revivals are going quite strong.
>>729617471Battlerite.Game was ruined by incompetent devs that had no idea how they wanted to balance the game, then abandoned it to make a shitty Battle Royale version of the same game.
>>729617471God Hand
>>729618669Yeah I also bought it because I had a VR headset and HOTAS. I was hoping we'd get some battles over land with different objectives or some clone wars era modes.

>>729617471look man i just want American Mcgee to finish his trilogy. Madness Returns was a step down from the first game, but it was still pretty good.
>>729623740was Lode Runner Legacy any good? that one came out in 2017, and i did like the art style.
>>729617824hundo p
>>729617471The biggest problem with Drakengard /Drag-On Dragoon 3 was the fucking frame-rate being so volatile and stuttering a lot. The actual game is fine, ranging from the aesthetics and story being very well-done to the combat being okay if repetitive. I'm glad Yoko Taro said he was open to porting it to modern systems and giving it the Nier Replicant treatment. It certainly deserves it.For a franchise as a whole, Parasite Eve. Third Birthday is actually a fun shooter, but the story is beyond shit. If they managed to mix the ATB mechanics of Parasite Eve 1 with the third-person shooter controls of Third Birthday (or really mix and match them) and make the story not insane schizo babble, then Square Enix would be cooking some great shit with what they have. Fortunately, they won't touch the series ever again to ruin it further.
>>729621897It aired as Cartoon Network was swirling the drain.

>>729617471Rocket Knight AdventuresDon't give the IP to a shitty British studio that churns out shovelware this time and turn character designs into soulless beanerslop.
>>729617471Capcom, you accidentally made Monster Hunter but Scifi ludokino and then you fucking killed it.Furthermore, you refuse to let people play it in AD 2025 (soon to be 26) without going through hoops. Jesus christ.

>>729624791>made Monster Hunter but ScifiI need you to expand on this. Really? I will play the fuck out of this
>>729617471natural selectionsuch a cool concept. as an RTS player with FPS friends I've always wanted to be able to play it with them but we didn't get around to it before the game died
>>729617471Blur. Online was so much fun. It was Mario Kart with real cars and physics.
>>729624791I fucking miss LP2.
>>729624791Glad you included EX Troopers, really cool game.>>729624884It's more of a TPS than a melee action game but you can feel the DNA shared between them. LP2 is probably the best but EX Troopers is very fun and very different. 1 is an alright first attempt, 3 is mediocre and made by the team who did Ninja Gaiden Yaiba.
>>729617471Maybe brink or how was that F2P spiritual successor called, Dirty Bomb?Just some shooter with another layer of movement mechanics.
>>729617471Jade Cocoon, the sequel was a disgrace. A remaster with mod support or codes for getting the blackface fairies would be so tight.
>>729624735 God yes. Sparkster deserved better than that zombified Xbox/PS3 filler garbage. They stripped all the personality out of the art style, neutered the music, and turned the gameplay into a bland slog with none of the crazy momentum or charm that made the Genesis game so good. Give it to someone who actually respects 2D platformers and knows what pacing and spectacle look like-hell, hand it to Inti Creates or even the guys who did Freedom Planet. Anyone but the teehee British shovel devs.
>dead gameAny game that can be described as this probably never had my interest to begin with.

>Gigantic gets another chance>everyone gets excited as fuck>the devs do nothing to fix its flaws even slightly or bother maintaining anything and it dies againIt pisses me off so bad a game so good was just tossed off to the wolves

>>729625587this would have been my answer before the relaunch but after playing it for a few hours i realized why it died and i was just wearing nostalgia goggles for several yearsbut yeah, they could have done literally anything to prevent it from dying again and just chose not to for some reason

>>729617882Fuuuck, I remember thinking this was the future. Very sad it died
>>729618867>Custom Robo is old enough to buy alcoholAHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHH
I want pedophiles gutted and hung with their own intestines for trying to take over this franchise with loli porn spam.
Battlestations: PacificRIP Eidos
I can't find it now, but I remember seeing an article about Kingpin's development. IIRC the game was originally going to have the player recruit members to their gang, go on missions, and take over territory. Eventually, they'd have enough territory to take on the final level. The game got fucked by Congress and the "video games make kids violent" crowd. I love this game in spite of its jank and always think about what it could have been.>>729624967This too, I fucking loved Blur.https://youtu.be/9oXT-H6ueLg
not a single person who complained about this game actually played it
Goemon
>>729617786This.
Rumbleverse.Fun as fuck game didn't deserve the quick death it got. Fucking epic jail, shit marketing and unappealing models/artstyle killed it.I need my rooftop elbow drops.
>>729626239What did people complain about anyway? That monsters were too whacko or what? Never played it but whenever i saw stuff in the wiki or yt videos, used to think it was the coolest shit ever.
