I like how there are like three legitimate answers in this thread. Someone post Shenmue next.

Yup I remember all the marketing for this game. Amazing it only came out four years ago.

 

[Drkirby]

This topic sucks, there are more current gen games then stuff from the PS1 and PS2.

 

[outunderthestars]

came to post brute force, might as well throw this one on the pile.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

I don't know, maybe Perfect Dark Zero?

...and...

• Goldeneye Rogue Agent
  
• Bionic Commando from Grin
  
• Wii Music
  
• Tomb Raider Underworld
  
• Ninja Gaiden II
  
• The Last Remnant (was hyped because it was Square-Enix's first current-gen JRPG, Tri-Ace ones don't count)
  
• Conan (console game)
  
• Lost Planet 2 (Almost forgotten )
  
• Wolfenstein
  
• Red Steel
  
• Lair
  
• Mercenaries 2
  
• Lord of the Rings Conquest
  
• Godfather II
  
• Sonic Chronicles The Dark Brotherhood (Because it was by BioWare)
  

Those come to mind, I guess.

Oh and Mortal Kombat VS DC

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

Advent Rising was the first to come to mind. Then this..

 

[N4Us]

Wario Land: Shake It!, great game that was heavily marketed (remember that Youtube page?), after it came out I rarely heard anyone else talk about it ever again.

Space Channel 5 is the one game of the decade that I can remember getting hyped to heavens in magazines but going nowhere after initial release, but it's not really forgotten.

Yeah, I remember that. Didn't that almost take Majesco out of business?

I remember it being pretty ambitious.

 

[Speevy]

Jade Empire, or at least I'd like to forget it.

 

[Beardz]

Advent Rising was the first to come to mind. Then this..

What? Shadowrun is one of the best team based shooters of this gen!

 

[hylje]

Never forget.

 

[Jackson]

Really? It's still being talked about. They just had DLC for it. Not setting the world on fire, sure.

 

[Dead Man]

That was my first thought.

 

[Sixfortyfive]

I was glancing through the 2nd page and getting ready to post a retort.

Then I noticed that I had already posted it.

lol, necroposting.

 

[Snuggles]

Steven and Ron: Awesome Shotgun Adventures.

Seriously, no one remembers this game.

 

[DY_nasty]

Never forget.

Holy shit

I remember reading how this game was supposed to 'change everything' :lol

Advent Rising was the first to come to mind. Then this..

I remember going to the Shadowrun official forums to troll them for making it a FPS, while employees would desperately try to damage control with "OH IT'LL BE FUN, YOU'LL SEE!" Then it finally came out, and sucked, and bombed, and they all got fired.

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

And then, for whatever reason, NBC made a miniseries or a made-for-TV XIII movie.

They made it because XIII is actually a really popular comic book series in some parts of the world.

I remember going to the Shadowrun official forums to troll them for making it a FPS, while employees would desperately try to damage control with "OH IT'LL BE FUN, YOU'LL SEE!" Then it finally came out, and sucked, and bombed, and they all got fired.

It was fun, but rough around the edges and lacked content. Also, many people never really gave it a chance.

Anyway, my contribution:

I never noticed how bad that box art is until now.

Too bad they didn't bug test it. What a disappointing game. I really wanted to love it, too :/

Spore.


Ugh I want my money and time and hype back. Never again, Maxis.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

I can never forget Hellgate while I post on GAF because of that dude with the "Hellgate is shit" tag. Every time I see it I'm like "I KNOW! ENOUGH ALREADY!"

 

[Warren Ellis]

shenmue

but i still remember my disappointment. FREE my ass, ultra-clichè characters and story even for the time. But it was by Yu Suzuki and released on much-loved console, so..

luckily this day is remembered only by dreamcast fans.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

I don't see how this is forgotten, unless you're referring to the annoyances in the game.

But it's the most memorable JRPG for the Cube.

Now that sequel, Dawn of the New World, I guess it's fair to say that was forgettable.

 

[Dram]

How about the Eye of Judgment for PS3.

Is it even supported anymore?

 

[catotheyounger]

 

[Donos]

^ yeah last time i checked there were only 2 people in home ..... a total wasteland ....... >_> ....... <_<

 

[Lionheart1337]

How so? Looking at my newly purchased eBay copy as I type this :lol .
There's also a rather large forum/community going...I wouldn't say it's forgotten,
just given up on.......;_;

Man, that was a great game too. I figure I'll drop like a dollar for the supposedly terrible sequel one day and see just how bad it really is.

I loved this game, though. The character design, the humor, the balance betwen stealth and action... How was the sequel by the way ?

Anyway, I'm sure most of you have heard about this game at one time and forgotten it :

I don't know how it turned out either. I think it has its fans.

 

[Rikyfree]

Killzone 2

This troll gets 4/10. 3 points for listing a game that is FAR from forgotten, and one point for pitiful presentation. C'mon man. At least use a shitty meme if you're going to do this.

 

[slyght]

I'd like to add nearly every id software game post Quake 3 Arena...

Doom 3

Quake 4

Enemy Territory - Quake Wars

Dear god, I had so high expectations for all of them and none where fulfilled

...and I bet it'll be the same for Rage

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Spore

It was hyped as being the most amazing thing since the invention of blowjobs, and then it came out to a lukewarm reception, and people just stopped caring about it fairly quickly.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Do you guys think Ninja Gaiden II is also a forgotten game that failed to live up to the hype?

I don't know, but what does GAF think?

 

[Kyoufu]

Every Peter Molyneux game in the past decade.

 

[Palette Swap]

I'd say Primal. It was heavily marketed in Europe at least and it just took me one fucking hour to remember its name (and not post "that game with the girl").

I disagree with Daikatana and Enter the Matrix, both are infamous. Daikatana is remembered for Romero's attitude and its overall failure. Enter the Matrix has been (or was at least) used for years as the archetype of sales != quality.

I'm not into MMORPGs but hasn't there been a couple of next big things announced that eventually fizzled on release?

I also love how this thread is turning into the token "let's troll popular games" thread of the week.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Yeah, I posted one of them, Tabula Rasa above.

I remember it being pretty hyped.

 

[Onny]

Viva Pinata.

Don't get me wrong, I liked the game - but it was meant to be Microsoft's Pokemon, with a TV series and advertising directed at kids. Then it came out, and no-one really bothered with it.

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

Ugh, so many terrible answers in this thread.

I'd like to add nearly every id software game post Quake 3 Arena...

Doom 3

Quake 4

Enemy Territory - Quake Wars

Doom 3 is the only game you listed there that was made by id.

Like, the boxarts you posted even state that there is an id game, a raven game and a splash damage game.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Killzone 1
Everquest 2
Wii Music
King Kong
Driv3r
Munch's Oddysey
Onimusha 3
Tribes: Vengeance

I should have betted that someone jumps at this fact...

It doesn't make them less an id game + id software was co producing them
