Games

LittleBigPlanet, can't wait for Restitched. At least private servers exist and I can emulate LBP2 on my PC

Marvel Heroes. Hopefully the private servers being worked on will be in a playable state someday.

Loadout. It was a casual PvP (and later PvE) game where you can make your own weapons with wacky combos. It was a bit pay-to-win, but I thought it was very fun. The game crashed and burned because the studio wasn't sure what they wanted to do with it and kept ignoring fans.

I think the PvE spinoff never came out of beta. I was looking forward to it.

Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex First Assault

All due to capitalism ruining things as usual...

Revenant Hill, by one of the Night in the Woods developers. Cancelled due to health problems.

Mag

There's something so special about the command structure, having your own squad v squad, while a whole other battle is taking place around you. But also that you could be pulled for extra resources if needed.

I tried Hell Let Loose, but it's too chaotic and open.

I really miss Megalith. It was a VR MOBA. The small team had to drop the project to work on contracts that made money.

TimeSplitters 4. If they'd have stopped baiting us with teaser art and promises of someone new buying the bones of Free Radical every few years then it wouldn't hurt so much.

Hyper Scape, probably my favorite battle royale. When you died, you could still run around as a ghost and be revived at a dead enemy. It was much more engaging than just sitting there spectating your teammates. Also the loot was a lot more simplified, so you didn’t have to spend time managing inventory or worrying about getting the right ammo type

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

K.O.L.M.

"The Last Night" looked very interesting, but i dont even know if its been cancelled, just havent heard anything from it in years

Don't know if it was ever announced to be in development and existed in any form outside of being told there was going be 3 games, but would absolutely love to have seen what the 3rd Sonic book game would have been like. I still need to play the Black Knight game, but would absolutely hop on board the 3rd if it existed.

That, and would absolutely LOVE if Sega uncanceled the Riders series. Best racing game series to ever exists in my opinion. Too bad the 3rd game sucked so hard it caused the beautiful rose that is the Riders series to wither away.

Back in the day I played a browser game called "Inselkampf". That was way before anybody did the whole monetization and one of the earlier browser games. Totally free, no micropayments. It was awesome: You had a level playground. People formed alliances on their own without the game having such a feature. We hang out in IRC channels. We plotted wars, starting in the middle of the night in order to surprise the other alliances. We had diplomats talking to other alliances. People started alt accounts and snuck into the enemy alliances in order to spy on them. Some rose to top ranks, leading to epic betrayals and epic wars.

Everything from that is gone. The game is long offline. The players dispersed, the IRC channels abandoned, everything never to be repeated
