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.
man, you just pissed me off reminding me of that game
Bound to Light https://store.steampowered.com/app/711760/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.
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.
Very small minority use macros. You can watch videos of people playing and watch their keystrokes on both physical keyboard and virtual. I recommend kujo on YouTube.
But yeah, very nice memories indeed. Apparently, it's making a comeback on Steam.
That's a blast from the past. Thanks for the shout!
This is before my time but I remember reading about a canceled movie tie-in game for Star Trek: First Contact.
Silent Hills
"The Last Night" looked very interesting, but i dont even know if its been cancelled, just havent heard anything from it in years
titan fall 2. never actually got to appreciate it because by the time i found it the server matching was completely broken. all they need to do is allow private servers or fix the matching system and the game would be playable. seems like plenty of people want to play it. I don't know why they decided let the game die instead. makes no damn sense.
It’s playable now on vanilla servers, but the North Star client also exists, pilot.
interesting if true
Star wars 1313 was THE game I was waiting for. Got very sad when it got cancelled.
Also all is the in-progress and for some completed content that just got shelved for Disney infinity because the new management at Disney forgot why games mattered. (Same time when they absolutely gutted lucasarts). Just for them to start from scratch again a few years later when they realised they still need a videogame presence. Which makes the losses of what could have been hurt more.
Starwars Galaxies, pretty CU
Man I miss SWG.
That's not cancelled, that's just a game that was taken down.
There's a bunch of private servers for it too. My first experience is the game was through one of them and it was pretty great.
