What's a cancelled game you really miss?

  I really miss Megalith. It was a VR MOBA. The small team had to drop the project to work on contracts that made money.

  Back in the day I played a browser game called “Inselkampf”. That was way before anybody did the whole monetazation and one of the earlier ones. It was awesome: You had a level playground. People formed alliances on their own without the game having such a feature. We hang out in IRC channels. We plotted wars, starting in the middle of the night in order to surprise the other alliances. We had diplomats talking to other alliances. People started alt accounts and snuck into the enemy alliances in order to spy on them. Some rose to top ranks, leading to epic betrayals and epic wars.

  Everything from that is gone. The game is long offline. The players dispersed, the IRC channels abandoned, everything never to be repeated

  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.

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

  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.

    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.

  True Fantasy Live Online. It sounded amazing.

  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.

  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.

  GunZ

  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.

    • pathos@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

  Hellraid looked like it was going to be an awesome spooky fantasy game but then they turned it into a shitty dying light dlc.

  I was ecstatic when Phantom Dust was getting a sequel and then I was mildly happy that it was at least coming to PC. I want more.

  Rainbow Six Patriots.

  Instead we got another MMO game…yay…….

  There was this awesome cooperative programming game called Leap Day from SpryFox. You would login and set up your automated citizens, collecting items, combining items, items with people in neighboring sections to defeat a boss in the middle, but the boss could only be completed by using items from your neighbors. Over time you would gain money for items you brought back to your base and every minute the day on it would resent and everyone go out and collect the same items again. You would have to build and rebuild your area to make enough factories to develop what you needed. I don’t think I’m it justice. I miss it all the time.

  Super Mecha Champions on PC.

  Yeah, it was a Gacha Battle Royale mobile port. But it was so fun to play. The community was fantastic, except the like 3 cheaters on perpetual ban cycle.

  I loved the character design, and the mecha design. The graphics could age really well being cel-shaded/anime styled. And it was unique in its category, no other BR game lets you play as a pilot and call in a mecha, or battle a mecha as a pilot, or vice versa. And the best part was that the F2P economy was pretty good. Paid players got new characters and mecha a week or two weeks before paid players that haven’t been playing the game. F2P Barnacle players could use currency earned in-game for characters and mecha and it would take maybe a week or so to get the amount needed. You didn’t even have to win, you just had to play. It was great. The cosmetics were well designed too, mostly. Except that one Ventorus skin that made the extra hands a little too big and cover more of the screen than normal.

  Sadly, the servers were shut down by NetEase, probably to make more server space for Marvel Rivals.
