>>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.

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.

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

>>729628105The devs of Penny Blood are currently in a legal battle with indie publisher Dangen over unpaid funds from the KS, and they've also mentioned that development has basically ground to a halt due to a lack of a publisher. Last update I saw from them mentioned that any costs they've incurred from dev work has been coming out of their own pockets.Armed Fantasia is in a slightly better position, but it's still not a good one. They are also in need of a publisher, however, they did at least put out a video showing some gameplay footage back in August, so there's some hopium we can huff for that game.

Interstate '76There are no other games like it. Strategic vehicular combat. Twisted Metal, Vigilante 8, and even its sequel were much more arcade-y. The soundtrack is epic. The story engaging. The gameplay very solid. Even internet multiplayer, which was a fairly new feature in games for 1997, was decent. The genre as a whole is dead but there was never another game made like Internet '76. Well, there was a stand alone expansion, but it was just additional missions and some new weapons/cars.Sales were good but not outstanding so the sequel, Interstate '82, was reworked into a much simpler game to make it 'more accessible'. Over the objections of the creators to boot. Both quit Activision shortly after the game 'went gold'. It was pushed out the door unpolished, with serious bugs, and mediocre gameplay. Reviews were bad and sales were even worse.Vigilante 8 was originally a port for consoles done by an outside studio but was also reworked into a simpler arcade-style game. It was a much better attempt than Interstate '82 and even received a legit sequel. Sales of the sequel were disappointing, even though it was a good game, and the franchise died. 8 years later yet another studio was commissioned to shit out Vigilante 8 Arcade exclusively for the Xbox 360.

I agree with youtuber Nitrorad about how instead of only remaking good games, we should remake bad games to give them a second chance. The bad game I would choose to give a second chance to would be Rascal, a 3D platformer with a lot of creative ideas that are held back by dogshit controls and camera, among other questionable decisions.
>>729637778Never brother, never. Smedley lied Planetside died.
>>729638572But it's still up?
>>729636001It wasn't anything, the reviews are mostly negative because it was just a straight up scam for the like 5 years after the game shut down in early access (and I mean EARLY access) you couldn't play it that nobody could be arsed to delist it. It was pretty much just a UE template placeholder with Heavy Gear skating and models, the arena thing only existed in one trailer to try to market it to investors.

>>729641310Im like 90% sure Gotcha Force got some spiritual sequels that didnt come to the west.When I first visited Japan in 2018 I saw tons of people playing a mecha arcade game, big multiplayer gameplay with lots of people watching on the big screen, that looked shockingly similar to Gotcha Force gameplay. Just without the toy aesthetic and more gundam style aesthetics.Not sure what it i was called but I recognised the gameplay instantly even with the more mature art style
>>729617471Black and White
>>729645541Gotcha Force was an original IP version of what is now collectively called Gundam Vs. which Capcom developed for Bandai when it was made, people sperg about it because it's a Gamecube exclusive and therefore had to be the greatest thing ever devised. Gundam Vs. itself was kind of sort of a take on Virtual On adapted to 2v2, licensed units, and standard arcade controls.There's also Magician's Dead that was made by the Gundam Vs. dev team, Bamco had some wack ass version with people instead of robots for the west that flopped, Dissidia AC/NT was heavily based on the concept but mixed with the PSP games, and there's some Chinese mecha girl f2p ripoff on PC these days.
>>729625587It was the fact that they charged money for it. I couldn't get anyone to try it in the state it was because they were charging money for it. At the least, it still survives in a state where people can do PUGs for it
>>729617681Bro, your Skylords?
>>729645340I just want blossom in there.>SKA-DUSHVrising is fun though. Very impressed they managed to pull it off.
>>729626239I played on both JP & TW in the game's last two years, and it was quite apparent that COG put themselves into a very awkward position with shitty grind scales going all over the place, some trimmed to twigs when others were still spaghetti - made from bad decisions on their part and maybe higher-up Capcom execs all over 12 years. Not to mention they were incredibly selective with localizing the game in different regions, whose service was questionable, and the main devs themselves kind of struggled to keep on top of updating shit properly and being on time (GG was supposedly meant to be the graphical update, implications of a Z-Rank exist here and there). It could truly be a 'neverending Monster Hunter' if they could readily address shit but maybe building on what was a port of Dos would catch up to them regardless.Anyway, I'm sure most people Frontier-curious already got their full with private servers going even harder on tourist mode than COG allowed by the end of the game's life.>>729626862>What did people complain about anyway? That monsters were too whacko or what?That is what amounts to most western responses, because the same people complaining about that pretty much knew fucking nothing about the actual game itself to pick apart beyond a subscription cost. Most baka gaijins were probably playing on TW as it had less hoops, was cheaper, and had a more extensive English guide. Meanwhile the local japs knew the game can be absurdly P2W, and keep in mind the game was also competing against stuff like PSO2 by the time the game instated G Rank; some players even outright went quitting the game for fucking FGO when Extreme Raviente was announced.

>>729649436Sunset Overdrive is a weird one. It's decently fun to bounce and railgrind around the overworld, and the weapon variety isn't anything to scoff at imo. But the almost corporate style of 'irreverent' humour and dialogue is or can be grating at times. Considering it was a 2014 release where that shit got kickstarted, I can give it a little bit of a pass. Soundtrack was fun though.My only complaints would be:>Not much interesting stuff besides challenges to do in the world. Collectathon items at least had a purpose for buying amps.>Grinding overcharge for upgrades is a PITA.>Character customisation should have gone beyond simple presets and allowed more in-depth sliders and colours.

fuck you, I liked the idea of it
>>729626239Anon, I never played Frontier, but I’m allowed to comment on how fucking awful the designs of the monsters were.
>>729654282Anon… I’m happy to let you know… there’s this game called Crysis 3
>>729654316its a great idea and game premise (building your own iron man suit and piloting it) trapped in one of the shittiest looter-shooters of all time. its pretty clear the devs were ordered to chase the borderlands audience by their higher ups at the time. such a shame.
>>729654587I leveled to max once and it was fun, didn't do anything at max level though
>>729618742you're just mad you couldn't beat my tier 0 button mash link
>>729617471Soul Sacrifice
>>729651363it deserved an animated series
>>729619258>>729620540I still miss Battlerite. There's just nothing else like it. It played so fucking well, and hit that sweet spot where you could feel yourself getting better and better, because the game had so much room for skill expression. Just that feeling of doing a little better every time, getting a better grasp on your character, hitting the split-second perfect timings on your skills... I'm casual as fuck, but I could not put that game down.
I don't think anyone remembers or cares about this game, but there was an odd little MOBA called Dawngate I liked a lot. It was killed rather quickly by EA. But it was a fun game, with a fun cast. I wish it had been at least open-sourced or something.Sad.

>>729656132There's a private server that's been up for like 10 years almost
>>729656252yeah and it can't even hit 1k players at peak times anymore. for an open world PvP focused MMO I'd say that's dead

>>729622890>Battlefield 2142Seconding this.Ea's practices of turning off servers to make people move on is shit, but to then threaten legal action to destroy fan made efforts to get a private server running too is fucked up.It was fun as fuck, better gameplay than 2, more balanced so infantry was a bigger part than everyone hopping in vehicles.Titan mode was kick ass.There's a reason the fans tried to revive this game, even though it was a full priced expansion pack.
>>729619659This gif was posted, so I must mention that the character has 2 right hands.
>>729654316things like inverse destiny
>>729617471For Honor. It won't happen though.
>>729623070I enjoyed the little I got to play of this game. Very fun concept. Shame things went the way they did.

multiversus
>>729617471Kingdom Under Fire. I'll never forgive Worst Korea for what they did to that series.
>>729656498Yup.Game devs and designers can go absolutely wild when it's sci-fi or fantasy. Bring back crazy guns, cool vehicles, maps, game modes, scenarios, etc.Battlefield 6 lacked any imagination. Kept shaking my head playing the beta.
>>729643317I agree with that mentality too, but that's never going to happen in the current gaming landscape. Publishers are so risk-adverse because they would rather gamble on a $100+ million dollar AAA game that more than likely flop even if it is successful just due to the costs of development being greater than the profits than a more reasonable AA game that can easily recoup profits. Sad but expected.
Atlas Reactor. I would really like to play a snappy, quick, turn based game and I cannot think of a single one.
>>729631703You have shit tier taste.
No other game has done the customizable class as good as this one.
>>729658212I don't want modern sega going within a 500 mile radius of this game.
>>729658601Tri Ace is dead isn't it? So I think the chances of them remembering this game is basically zero. If I had a time machine though, I'd get me a sequel.
>>729617471Chromehounds, with good online this time... RE: Outbreak, with fucking good online this time.
>>729656498I tried playing this on private servers, but even when my ping was good the game felt rubberbanding and weird. Similar happened with BF2, I don't know if it's just those games or what.but yeah, I was fucking disappointed by 2042. it was like a spit in the face especially with that name, and then 6 is just them playing safe the fucking pussies. boring

>>729617471Tenchu
>>729617471It's still going decently strong, but most people binned it off a month after release because of the P2P shit and poor balancing.Don't get me wrong, this thing is still like laced crack, it's the best worst shit you've ever played, you simultaneously have the greatest and most frustrating time of your life, but it deserves more.
>>729617471split/second i still dont know why it flopped
>>729659840I binned it once the chase for decent gear just meant skins. I couldn't care less for unlocking cosmetics.
i dont really think it DESERVES another chance, in the sense that amazon is a huge company that should have been able to launch the game much smoother rather than having to remake the early game literally 3 time, but new world. it has a shitload of potential, but you can feels the confusion in the development.
>>729659101There was Primal Rage as >>729653957 said, but that franchise got buried because Midway (and later WB Gmaes) didn't want it competing with Mortal Kombat for attention.It's a real shame because it had some real interesting ideas and I loved the setting.
>>729659861Poor marketing, and a terrible PC port. The game would still probably have an active community if the PC version ran natively without needing fan patches.

>>729617471TF2
>>729618805RIP
>>729650114Yeah I can agree with all of that. Writing was the worst part but that’s insomniac for you. I wish it leaned more into a DMC like approach to the combat rather than just beat em up mashing stuff. You can sort of do that with the guns but it’s pretty braindead. I feel like the character customization was my favorite part personally and I’d like to think of it came back they’d be able to expand it, maybe more than just 4 body types for starters. I also liked the art direction. I’ve spent years trying to look for good renders or pics of the graffiti all over the walls, it’s really cool
>>729660995Tf2 solves asymetry for a competitive environment quite easily; both teams get a round attacking and defending
>>729617471Despite the lack of characters, I put so many hours on pvp when it came out. The chaos you on the smaller maps but with extra player count was an absolute blast. Other times I was on a carnage as the gunner of a skilled Darkside (Juggernaut ver) driver. Fuck aerial vehicles.>>729656368Too me it died when the move from Chromosome build to Uprising(?) happened. The new dropsuits and other additions that came with it seemed nice but it was released in such a terrible state that it never truly recovered from this.

>>729635776>Xcomsometimes I forget they shit the bed so hard that the company imploded. Xcom 2 wasn't even bad, it was good, but their inability to take criticism and their immediate pivot to DEIslop that killed the company was just tragic.
>>729663947someone should make a new edit of this where the apu is being prevented from entering and both he and the woah jack are confused and annoyed

>>729666740>pivot to DEIslop that killed the companyQRD pleasenever liked that series, since it looked too much as a mobile shit game, therefore never followed any news
>>729667079chimerasquadthe reboot of xcom, Xcom: Enemy Uknown/Within, and its sequel Xcom 2 were both great and I highly recommend them.
>>729667592noi hate procedural generated games.if they would only made it story based (like Wasteland 2/3) then i might checked.
>>729617471Give Sam and Max another go. Don't let their final hurrah be a shitty vr game nobody played.
>>729617471Hey You! Pikachu.
I want a revival of the dark cloud games. dungeon crawler + city builder was such a novel concept.
>>729644338>the impacts are green
>>729617782The game looked fine gameplay wise honestly sure the characters were wacky as shit and it was developed by people that gamers dislike but I thought it wasn't that bad of a game and it looked decent. Probably a very unpopular opinion.
>>729666740I thought it was the bad deal with Midnight Suns that caused the XCOM team to leave. Then Civ 7 being dogshit was just the nail in the coffin.Chimera Squad could be written off as an experimental budget game, but yes it reeked of Marvel writing.
Can't wait to see this on twitter.
>>729667727it's not procedurally-generated like minecraft, it just has slightly varied missions so that you have to make decisions based on what you have in front of you instead of being able to memorize them. It is story-based, as well.
>>729637376>other people stop playing>it's fun nowis this that "player emergent gameplay" we were promised?

>>729617538Absolutely FPBP
>>729617471I'd say sakura taisen, but it got another chance (two if you include the gacha) and failed hard both times.
>>729617471Soul calibur, portal, clay fighter, lost kingdoms, katamari, Bomberman (no, coomer gacha doesn't count), jak & daxter, and sly cooper
>>729658212I couldn't get through this game. The combat is INSANELY boring and samey once you (mostly) understand the combat system, and by god, the vast majority of the game is battle after battle against random dudes. Sure, this could also describe a lot of other classic rpgs, but at least the combat was fast.
BRING IT BACK
>>729619137i don't think battleborn could make it now, there was maybe a 4-5 year period where a change in marketing could have made a difference between release and death.it should have been marketed as a console MOBA instead of a hero shooter but now both of those markets are so saturated/not as popular i still think it would fail.
Firefall. I still dream about jetpacking about now and then.

>>729617471l4d2
>>729669936the issue is that now the only people playing are the folks looting the mission areas for blueprints, so they've gotten VERY good at getting all the good loot out of anywhere you need to go.i will never get to enjoy that supermutant prison without some asshole sprinting through 5 minutes before i get there and looting all the power armor, guns and outfitis.
>>729679384It’s not dead, nigga. Fuck are you talking about?
>>729617471Devil May Cry was cool. It had this gothic tone where it's like a fight that has been going on for ages between good an evil, but whit this pragmatic hero who uses guns and stuff. Like a 2000s cool intercepting an otherwise horror-story. Kinda like a 2cool4school Ghostbusters in a way.I'd like more of that
>>729679641Sure not dead but completely abandoned. The wasted potential is insane.
>>729659674>>729674156Thought this was Global Agenda at first.
>>729674548Damn that sounds cool. It seems like there were a few decent attempts to combine RTS and FPS before RTS was entirely replaced by its retarded younger brother, MOBA. And now we've got a million FPS/MOBA hybrids (overwatch clones)
>>729650114It kinda works given the theme of the game.
>>729679763Very cool game, but similarly to Fahrenheit, it went retard near the end, although not THAT much.Still, the problems StarForce gave me with this game, motherfucker. I still have a CD somewhere, but probably would need to get a crack anyway.You could say Control is a similar game, but in reality it's pretty much a walking sim with combat as a mini-game, all those notes and e-mails you need to read to understand anything, I gave up after like 2 hours. Some kind of a remake of Psi Ops would be nice.
PangyaKind of amazing that of all things, it was JAPAN that killed it.

>>729617471its been so long
Well, Serious Sam is pretty much dead at this point thanks to Croteam's incompetence. So I would love for it not being dead.

>>729656438Just 11 years to go, we're right on schedule.
>>729666396I was really hoping the show meant we'd have something in the works, or would eventually result in someone at least saying they're working on something. I mean the car combat genre is mostly dead love Speed Freeks though but that just means it can carve out a nice niche.
mighty no9
>>729638529I've spent a good number of hours in TF2, OW 1 and 2, Paladins, Marvel Rivals, Mecha Break, you name it. Gundam Evolution was by far the best of them. It made some mistakes. Region locking was dumb, making the green currency skins FOMO was shitty. Generally though, the game was handled well. It literally died to stupid assholes who don't know what they're talking about. Before the game launched, they made it available for pre-download so you were ready to go minute one. They didn't "lock" the game though, they simply didn't turn on the servers. So people downloaded it, couldn't connect to the server, thought the game was having technical issues, and review bombed it for fucking up the launch that had not happened yet. This only set the tone for the year to come with those dipshits and I will be mad until I die.

Lmao fuck video games. Name a few shows that deserve a second chance.

>>729617471DawngateGod EaterSoul Sacrifice Delta should have been a series.Hawken, before it was turned into PVE abandonware.
>>729622003Turok 3 is where the series really went off for no reason. I don't hate the game, which sorta has Half Life vibes. The real issue is Acclaim already established a whole back story for Joshua's family in their comics for Turok 2. In 3 his whole family is replaced by two different siblings. They really could had just used his younger sister Alison instead of Danielle, or his older sister Vivian, being Danielle is older than him. And his nephew Clay instead of Joseph. In Turok 3 we meet the Council of Voices, which are the only characters from the comic to make it in the game. The best you can do is just ignore the comics, as they're a bit obscure from the games. But for Turok 3, it ends on a cliffhanger with its next game being somewhat of a prequel reboot. At this point, I really don't care about the third person shooter Turok.
