Silent Hills

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

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.

K.O.L.M.

Beyond Good and Evil 2.

I’m not even mad that we didn’t get the multiplanetary open world new-tech live-experience cooperative second coming. I’m mad we didn’t even get a simple, short singleplayer experience living off of the charm of the first one.

vampire the masquerade bloodlines. the classic one had a bumpy release but patches and community work made it fun.

the supposed to be new one got cancelled. i forgot. budget reasons maybe.

Mother 64
Mother 3 is my favorite game, but I'm still bummed this timeline didn't get a fun quirky N64 graphics Mother game. Would have been interesting to see which style elements came through in 3D, which didn't, and what new spins on things would have added to the series

Legacy of Kain: Dead Sun

I'm sure it was cancelled for a good reason, but man I really want more Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver lore!

Kerbal Space Program. Loved KSP1, but still salty about spending $60 on the pre release of KSP2 thinking it would help fund development. Never again. Learned my lesson for sure. Both versions are basically dead now. It was a fun ride while it lasted.

I loved Descent from back in the 90s...

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.

Nosgoth. An asymmetrical, team based shooter where you played as either vampires or vampire hunters. The vampires had more health and mobility but were only melee while the hunters had range and utility. It was buggy and imbalanced and I loved it and clocked like 500 hours before they shut it down.

Mostly every Rare game.

• Diddy Kong Pilot (the voxel version)
• Dinosaur Planet
• Donkey Kong Racing
• Twelve Tales: Conker 64

I know 3/4 of these sort of got released, but the mode-7 style Banjo-Pilot is fundamentally not interesting to me, Star Fox Adventures is fine but was a lot more ambitious when it was on weaker hardware, and while Twelve Tales looked generic, Conker's Bad Fur Day is the least funny thing to ever attempt humor.

I didn't forget Donkey Kong: Coconut Crackers, I just don't mind missing out on that.

I wish StarCraft: Nova had happened

StarCraft Ghost

ONI 2

Really loved Battlefield Heroes as a kid. I’d love to play it again

Prey 2 : https://youtu.be/BPkHZfjK5z4

Some friends and I were so hooked on the gameplay demo (we're big fans of the Mass Effect trilogy), then it was cancelled and replaced by Prey, which was very different (more horror centric and less space opera)

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.

Anthem was a really great idea for a game that had an absolutely terrible execution.

The StarCraft FPS.

I'm still mad about it.

City of Heroes, everything by Atari Games, the Wizardry series, the Ultima series, many others. I'm old, and I remember some of the games, and developers, we've lost.

Hellraid! God damnit, I was so ready for a first pirson action dungeon crawler in the style of Dying Light 😥

Star Wars galaxies
