Boosty from DJ Podcasts writes "This week on the Daily Joystick Podcast we talk all about Microsoft's recent changes to their policies surrounding online check in, DRM, used games and more. You don't want to miss this weeks episode, its a cracker!"
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Sometimes, a game getting cancelled is actually a blessing in disguise that either helps the developer or game series reach new heights with what actually does come next or just saves our time and money by keeping what would obliviously have been a bad time lost forever."
okay, I'll bite.
I friggin adored Arkane's version of Prey (it's basically the spiritual successor to System Shock that we never got) but I would have loved to see the bounty hunter iteration of the sequel as well, perhaps as it's own IP.
Scalebound for me was happy it got canned , the concept seemed picked out of a hat lol terrible.
Developing a game is an intricate process. Thousands of lines of code have to be written with thousands of graphical assets. The publishers have to spend thousands of dollars on marketing. Speaking on the behalf of the developers, it hurts us beyond measure when we don't get to witness the fruit of our labour.
Here are The Gaming Report's top 5 games that did not see the light of day.
Sometimes a video game will be announced only to be never heard of again. These cancelled video games showed a lot of promise and today GVN will be counting down the best ones!
^ And similarly, Rebelstar 2: The Meklon Conspiracy. The first on GBA is such an overlooked, underrated gem. 9.5/10.
"Top 5 cancelled video games" that list incorrect .
lets start with cancelled games from Snes up to now, that we old skool gamers have waited for for years only to find out it was cancelled.
If I made a top cancelled games. It'll all be Crash Bandicoot and MegaMan games. *sad laugh*
"MS hits a brick head first"
Fixes
I suppose we all have our concepts of 'winners' these days. Did you participate? You're a winner. Have a trophy.
It should say MS copies Sony and tries to catch up.
Sony listen to it's gamers and doesn't add the DRM and the 24hr online. Now MS wants everyone to think hey, we not the Devil after all.
MS plants people to clap at E3.
MS uses high end computer with highend graphic's cards at E3 to show it's games.
MS puts out the highest fail rate console in gaming history with the XBox 360.
MS uses a Blu-ray now after Sony brought it to the market 7 years ago.
Yet, we are not the Devil.
Gamers should be thanking Sony for saving the XBox one and forcing MS to drop DRM/24hr online to start with.
This is why the PS4 is outselling the X1 like it is.
Win what?.
Lol article....
