Every generation of systems has their extremely hyped games that fail to meet expectations. With the next generation of consoles right around the corner, it would be fitting to take a look back at disappointment row and what were the 10 biggest flops of this generation. Hopefully, developers will learn from these misguided games for the next generation.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
As we have all been graced by the release of Grand Theft Auto 6's trailer, we're ranking the best and worst GTA trailers to date.
We be getting these posts All week now lads. Someone noticed a number plate ... Someone noticed a billboard... I can see it now
Just go on YouTube and watch one of the many videos dissecting the whole 1minite 30secs worth.
This site supposed to be for news.
These updates on N4G are going to ruin whats rest of this site. Unfortunate since I was one of the first members.. The site shows unsecure when i login as well.
Grand Theft Auto 4 is an important game for Rockstar, not least because it was the first title in the franchise to use the newly created RAGE engine.
It literally blows my mind that Too Human was not on this list. Too Human was one of the most hyped games of all-time and not only was it almost universally panned critically, but it essentially killed Silicon Knights. The game was expected to be the beginning of the next great series but it wound up being so bad, apparently this author forgot about it.
I bought a 360 for that game and ultimately sold it for the same reason.
I'm so angry at this list of top 10 games that flopped this gen in gaming.
I'll agree that Too Human most certainly deserves a spot on this list. It seems like most of the games on this list definitely qualify as flops too. I think with a game like God of War: Ascension, fans obviously have high standards for the series and thus were disappointed with the end result. I could say the exact same thing for Gears of War: Judgement which should have been DLC as opposed to a $60 retail release, yet it's also not on the list.
Oh, you mean the Top 10 Biggest Current Gen Flops That Aren't On The 360?
Beyond: Two Souls is actually on target to reach Heavy Rain numbers at some point.
Why is Too Human not here? Gears of War: Judgment?
What, no Alone in the Dark 2008/Inferno?
That game flopped harder than a fish.
