Games that no one remembers...

[SmokingMirrors]

Spoiler: Rather large.

Not exactly that good a game I admit, but I still enjoyed it.

James Bond: Everything or Nothing.

This game was amazing arguably the best bond since goldeneye, it had a fantastic cast (Willem Defoe was the bad guy for godsake), great bond theme, animations, vehicle sections, gadgets, it was the real 007 package.

Yet people don't seem to remember it or mention it when they think of 007 games or great 3rd person action games, even the new 007 Daniel Craig game is nigh identical to EoN but there is hardly any mention of EoN being either an influence or being the basis for the new game.

Although I admit the movement from shooting to hand to hand is alot smoother in the new one.

I might buy that game again, now that i'm reminiscing...

Haha, I still have my old copy of that game, still go back to it every now and then.

OT: Destruction Derby and Die Hard Trilogy for PS1 spring to mind for me.

 

[FilipinoReject]

[Fredrikorex]

Devil Kings remains one of my favorite hack and slash games of all time.

That being said, the main reason they changes the title back to the Japanese "Sengoku Basara" for this game was that Devil Kings was technically an incredibly cut down version of the original Sengoku Basara that bombed in the US because they cut too much stuff out when they Americanized it. They removed all semblance of historical reference, removed half the playable characters, and completely rebalanced the game before labeling it Devil Kings and releasing it. Needless to say, the US Sengoku Basara fanbase was pissed off and the game never sold very well. Sadly, because of this negative reception Capcom didn't localize the second and third games... (Samurai Heroes is fourth in the main series)

D8 THERE WERE OTHER ONES? Dammit I really wanted a sequel...
But yeah now that makes sense, I guess they changed the name to make more money
Still annoys me and seeing as I loved Devil Kings and i just got REEEEEEEAAAAAAAAL confused for a while there, thanks for the explanation!

Guess i know one of the games i'm buying next! Apart from Fallout and what not...

It seems like Homeworld has fallen into this category. It freaking won Game of the Year in 1998 and can still hold it's own graphically against games like Mass Effect (1, not 2). It was also a really awesome game with an amazing musical score, great plot, and interesting (realistic) sci-fi tech. And Mass Effect pretty clearly borrowed ideas from it and it's sequel, Homeworld 2, another stellar (no pun intended) game.

Earthworm Jim,

no one I know remembers the games.

 

[pyrosaw]

Star Wars Bounty Hunter.

Tribes Aerial Assault(Epic Win!)

and my favorite game of all time...Scott Pilgrim vs The World game. You'd be surprised that no one plays it. PLAY IT NOW.

edit: Can someone tell me what platform Hogs of War is on? It sounds like fun.

 

[Ampersand]

I'm gonna go with Bloody Roar3.
Dam it i will see another one of those games even if i have to make it myself.

 

[wammnebu]

Titanic: Adventure out of Time

The point and click adventure game to end all point and click adventure games

 

[Bobzer77]

After realising that I had not just heard of most of these games but played a lot of them, my gaming ego has been satisfied once again.

Also, Shogo:Mobile Armour Division

--EDIT--

Oh God I nearly forgot to include Outcast !!!

One of my favourite games of all time and an epic adventure that sucked hours out of my childhood.

WHY WAS THERE NEVER A SEQUEL!?!?!?

*cries*

--EDIT AGAIN--

Just noticed it was already mentioned.

The pc game Outcast, a classic noone seems to know about.

Kudos to you sir!

 

[Chimpzy_v1legacy]

Little Big Adventure

or

The Ooze

PS: good to see other people remember Outcast. Too bad it kinda screw itself over by having system requirements practically no one had at the time.

 

[Sn1P3r M98]

Freedom Fighters. Probably the best tactical squad shooter ever made.

I remember that one! I only played the demo but I still have fond memories.


Mine would be Project: Snowblind. That's in my top 5 games of all time. In fact, I might have to go play it now.

 

[Leemaster777]

The snip strikes again

So how much are Irrational Games paying you good sir?

Hey, I'm just providing a valuable public service, bringing attention to a lesser-known, but still awesome game.

 

[Mr. Gency]

Well, there's probably a good reason no one remembers this.

 

[pyrosaw]

Well, there's probably a good reason no one remembers this.

That game was okay. Not bad or good, but ok.

 

[theravensclaw]

Eternal Darkness: sanity's Requiem on GC

and the old King's Quest games on PC

You can't say King's Quest is overlooked when they have the King's Quest Collection on Steam.

WHY HAVE I NOT NOTICED THIS BEFORE. thankyou x 1000000000000 you have made me happy. i so missed those games

 

[TheProfesser]
