        Probably a fucking bot or lost lemming

    Two come to mind. Hardware Rivals which I got for free on PSN ages ago. The other is Mass Effect 3 multiplayer. I think I was in top 100 N7 rank percentile at one point. I’ve never been good at a multiplayer game since.

    Evolve stage 2! Very fun and very unique game. Their battle pass monetization scheme fizzled out and they took down the servers. There may be some community run servers going, but getting onto them for a small player base that’s going to beat my ass just doesn’t seem worth.

    Any sort of sequel to the Tribes series. Talk about a franchise that had, at one point, a massive amount of potential that was completely squandered!

    It has momentum (the franchise, not just the gameplay mechanic. Lol) and the visuals and world lended itself to be turned into something with great storytelling of they really wanted to make it into a story as well. Plus, it was fun a hell!

    Ascend is technically still online, but any sequel that gets “announced” every one in a while is a lost cause from the start

    Limit Theory. Quite the ambitious space simulator being developed by one dude. I recall seeing their dev log videos on youtube.

    The cancelled suite of Alternate Reality games.

      Omfg…

      Yesssssss. Our entire family loved The Dungeon so much. My father wrote a letter to the developers and got a response, with excited descriptions of upcoming games in the series that never came to be. The producer or developer, or whoever wrote him back was bragging about how the next game would have characters you could actually see while in combat!

        The Dungeon already sort of gave up on the original design. Philip Price wrote The City and the extension mechanism that things were supposed to plug into, but The Dungeon didn’t use any of it. So it was a one-way trip… Except you couldn’t actually transfer characters, it was broken. :-/

    Star Wars 1313 and Battlefront 3.

    And for books it’s the unfinished Republic/Imperial Commando series by Karen Traviss

    C&C Generals 2, they got canceled and then made in to a mobile game. I considerd staying 10 hours in line to try it out at gamescom in köln 10-12 years ago, decided to get drunk instead.

    • droning_in_my_ears@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yeah that was a letdown for sure. Still better than releasing it as a mobile game I think.

      If you haven’t heard they recently released the source code of C&C generals and zero hour and there’s multiple efforts working on a community patch.

      I’ve been watching the competitive scene of zero hour for a few years now. It’s really exciting and now that the source code’s out, sky’s the limit on what we can achieve.

    I miss firefall. It was very innovative and enormous. The devs were trying new ideas in the alpha all the time.

    • GusTheBard@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I never played that game, but I was about to… I literally installed it, but didn’t play it, and it got canceled and shut down very shortly after. (I was a bit out of the loop, I guess)

      I still have it late in my Steam library, so I think about it a decent bit

    True Fantasy Live Online. It sounded amazing.

    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 concept for Bioshock infinite.

    Bound to Light store.steampowered.com/app/…/Bound_To_Light/ I really liked the idea, but as the studio hade to shut down a few Yeats ago I guess it wont happen

    Steambot Chronicles 2 and Maximo 3. I can’t believe they never finished the Maximo story. It’s such a good hack and slash collectathon of the PS2 era.

    The Original Lawn Darts. Life is no fun without a bit of risk.

    Infinite Crisis. This was a MOBA based on DC comics. It’s the game that got me into the genre and had some very cool alternate takes on some of the DC characters. Sadly it had a lot of balance problems and other issues causing it to close down after only 6 months.

    StarCraft Broodwar (need to make a Blizzard account now apparently)

      My word, I remember playing this when I was a teenager (and I’m in my mid-30s now).

      I remember doing all those trick movements, the slash and dash, wall climbs, weapon switching for quick dash etc.
      Then several months into playing, I found out people were using macros for those instead of… Pressing all the keys manually…
      My hands hurt so much until that discovery.

      source
      • pathos@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Very small minority use macros. You can watch videos of people playing and watch their keystrokes on both physical keyboard and virtual.

        But yeah, very nice memories indeed. Apparently, it’s making a comeback on Steam.

    This is before my time but I remember reading about a canceled movie tie-in game for Star Trek: First Contact.
