idk if this was alrrady mentioned but Advent Rising. It was marketed crazy hard as the Halo Killer and even had some kind of contest where a winner won a room makeover with all this Advent Rising merch and decals plastered all over his bedroom and a bunch of cash. There was also some tie-in comics for the game's plot and even a book deal was in the works with the guy that wrote Ender's Game (tho I think it got cancelled)

Then the game came out and it was super mediocre and bombed hard lol. I think the dev even went under after that >_>

That Evolve monster asymmetric pvp game. The early marketing thing suggested it'd be some crazy big franchise

It is 100% Advent Rising. The developer announced it was a trilogy before it even came out. The game cost a shit ton and bombed. I dug it, though.

Mighty No.9 is also a good example. They pitched a kickstarter for a MN9 tv show and a Mega Man Legends spiritual successor before the game was even out. Besides MN9, I think Beck was also in some portable Gunvolt game as a cameo before his game came out

It looked hype as fuck at first, but then they started tagging on all this crazy expensive DLC to play as different monsters and I think that's what killed it

Evolve was one of those games where a bunch of people in an office or showfloor played it with their friends for an hour and had a blast but forgot most people don't actually play online multiplayer games like that

It looked really boring to me, like 90% of the match was just chasing the monster and otherwise doing nothing interesting

That's what it was for most people. But if you're playing the game locally with friends I can see people having fun since the hunters can set up ambushes together and the monster player can see the reactions of people they surprise.

Only theorizing though. I think a similar thing happened to Titanfall. These demos are set up in an ideal playing scenario and end up winning awards.

Daikatana and Road to hell retribution

The game is called RIDE To Hell Retribution.

You are on GAMEFAQS you could have checked it out before posting and see if you had the correct name.

Is doing a little research beyond some people?

Beyond Good & Evil because it was planned to be a trilogy but was a commercial failure and the sequel will probably never be made.

tbh at this stage i don't think i want a sequel to beyond good & evil. i don't trust ubisoft to not fill it up with microtransactions and live service crap.

Too Human, also.

Supposed to be a trilogy, but apparently they used a stolen copy of Unreal Engine or something and the studio got sued into oblivion.

My favorite part about this was that Dracula Untold was supposed to be the start of this. But it flopped so they backpedaled, said it didnt count, then put out the Mummy remake which was even shittier.
Didn't it go back farther than that though? I thought the original start was The Wolfman with Benecio Del Toro? And then there was the I, Frankenstein with Aaron Eckhart somewhere in the mix as well.

The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.
