  • Just want to point out that 2017's Prey wasn't a follow-up to the Original Prey in any way shape or form. The only thing those two games have in common is the name Prey, which Arkane was forced to use for brand recognition since the publisher had no faith in a new IP.
  • @duelmaster62000
    I was actually hopping to see Scalebond on here. The idea that your dragon could evolve differently depending on how you progress/grind enemies sounding really interesting.
  • @Garmango
    Star Wars 1313 and Prey 2 hurt most for me. Others that hurt were Gotham by Gaslight and True Fantasy Live Online, an old MMORPG by Level-5 which, as a non-fan of MMOs, I was super excited for.
  • @deepoetryjay
    I’m very surprised ScaleBound wasn’t on the list. An action RPG where you tame, customise and fight alongside your own dragon? And everyone’s dragon would’ve been unique in style and abilities?? Still burns we never got that game
  • @oooeee5556
    0:33 Nemesis system isn't just "oh wow defeated boss returning". It's literally tiny stories between randomly generated enemies. Each time you interact with them, it will change on later encounters with them and bunch of crazier stuff.
  • @jamilgame
    For me it was Eight Days and Getaway 3, both on PS3 and from London studios as well.
  • @cefalu63
    I've been a gamer since the 80s and this stuff still breaks my heart. The what if of these awesome ideas.
  • @imAlexB
    Scalebound. Oh what could have been for Xbox & Platinum Games!
  • I’m not even a huge Starwars guy past the original trilogy, but 1313 got me excited 😢
  • @Doominater799
    Nice video. 2 videos in one day is a blessing thanks for making such great videos
  • @Marksman3434
    I still feel bummed about StarCraft Ghost even after 18 years since it was canned
  • @VoidSC
    Always appreciate it anytime you guys upload. I was surprised that Wild or Beyond Good and Evil 2 didn't even get bonus mentions though!
  • I can think of half a dozen Star Wars games. Thanks Disney for killing the franchise
  • @joeblow5214
    The Mercs 3 game that was rumored. The mercenaries series has place in my heart.
  • @TheXelum
    Still mourn over Darkborn. It looked so fine. Playing a Bad Monster was always my Dream :D
  • @TheGumpyGump
    I had forgotten about Agent. Thanks for bringing back that giant what-if that I will think about for weeks.
  • @Claypidgeon162
    I always thought it'd be interesting to continue the Nolanverse Batman with a video game, playing as Nightwing/"Robin". You could introduce Batgirl and her hangups over not being the "favorite" of Jim Gorden's children as revealed by Two-Face, and you could even bring back The Joker with the right voice actor.
  • @brandon7219
    I was waiting for StarCraft Ghost! I got to play that at Blizzcon 2005. It was so much fun!
  • @samhall2130
    I think you are nailing it with some of these videos lately, I had no idea about about some of these games that we never got to see
  • @nomercy8989
    I still remember Project Offset. That game looked like it was 10 years ahead of everything else back in 2004 or so.
