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.

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.

True Fantasy Live Online. It sounded amazing.

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.

This is before my time but I remember reading about a canceled movie tie-in game for Star Trek: First Contact.

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

So I have three different typ of games from the top of my head.

A game I know was a thing that got cancelled. Life by You I am so pissed it got caned. I was looking forward to it so so much.

Then a game I don't really know if it actually was a thing, I heard about it after it was cancelled, but I can't really find much about it. Is The Sinister Six it was apparently a game about the Spider-man super villain group of the same name, as they appertaining in Insomniac's spider man games. All I really remember is that you were supposed to play as the villains and it sounded good, I however only heard about it after it was caned so I really don't know much more about it.

And then there is this game that was never a thing, but an April fools joke in 2015. There would be a cross over game between The Sims and GTA. I got so excited about it, it still sounds like it could have been awesome.

Those are some different typs of cancelled games that I really miss.

The Last of Us Factions 2, even though it never came out

[–] Dil@is.hardlywork.ing 1 points 3 months ago

I vaguely remember a game where the focus was creating stuff socially on the ps3, had a very unique artstyle dont think it ever made the full release

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

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.

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.
