counting down our picks for the top 10
broken III promises of all time
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’ll
be looking at the ambitious statements
made at e3 over the years
pertaining to various games and tech
that turned out to be overwhelmingly
false whether due to cancellation or
falling far below expectation repair to
see action at a whole new scale number
10 project hammer in project hammer
swing the controller and the bad guys
get nailed
during the inception of the week
Nintendo had a difficult task on its
hands in terms of convincing mainstream
gamers that the console wasn’t just
limited to family-friendly titles like
Wii Sports enter project hammer a
supposedly brutal hack and slash that
would appeal to Western audiences with
its hardcore Girdler as a result it was
heavily advertised and in theory it
could have been a good foundation for
later titles but alas conflict from
within and several revisions dragged the
game out until it had all but lost its
identity isn’t it just fun to bash
things 2009 signal B final nail hammered
into its coffin as it was ultimately
cancelled number 9 Bioshock Vita
recently we know we found the right home
for it that’s on this guy we all
remember Bioshock right how it blended
together a haunting story with unique
and entertaining gameplay mechanics in
an unforgettable setting well as it
happens director Ken Levine actually had
a different future in mind for the
franchise at the tail end of a rant
about the PS Move Levine teased that
Savita would be the home of the new
Bioshock project and I may have said a
few uncharitable things about the
PlayStation Move that kind of sounds
pretty intriguing right it turns out
that Levine’s plan was a turn-based game
set before the fall of rapture well any
dreams of one upping a big Daddy arm the
go were dashed when developer 2k and
Sony failed to make an agreement
something WA beam still regrets to this
day
now break the division alright girl fuck
coming your way
when Tom Clancy’s the division was
announced at e3 2013 people couldn’t
wait to explore the open world of this
innovative third-person shooter together
with friends what was finally released
was not quite what was promised
despite being delayed till 2016 the demo
presented at e3 looked years ahead of
the final product there’s nothing wrong
with the game per se in fact its
Ubisoft’s biggest success in terms of
first day sales but what gamers got at
the end of a long three years since the
announcement was a far cry from the
graphically impressive and highly
realistic demo number 7 phantom dust
breakups heard all parties gamers
included while a remastered version of
the original has recently released for
free it was the promise of a stylish
looking reboot – that had players
chomping at the bit the action strategy
series had made a name for itself as a
classic all the way back in 2004 as you
can imagine seeing a reveal trailer a
decade later at e3 gave old time fans
and those otherwise interested in the
game something to look forward to
however with Microsoft ending its
relationship with game developers
Darkseid
the reboot was lost in development limbo
at least this office had to offer fans
some comfort by releasing the old one
for free
number six ps3 original specs we could
all use one but how much is enough in
spite of these so-called console wars
Sony managed to get bans a pretty nifty
gift in the form of the ps3 whose legacy
of games aren’t to be snuffed at that’s
being said it might surprise some that
when Sony was singing the praises of
their latest flagship console it
apparently was supposed to come with a
few more bells and whistles for vishna
audio be no output ps3 will have two
HDMI outputs while these deduction
certainly didn’t derail it you have to
admit that the promise of included
features like multiple Ethernet ports
various HDMI ports and even four
front-facing USB ports suddenly being
dropped is a little on the nose we’ve
heard of trimming the fat but come on
Sony do you think no one would notice we
expected to see a few bright lights and
a couple of diamonds in the rough as it
is early in the development process
number five scalebound
for Xbox fans this one had to hurt
this was supposed to be the exclusive
title that owners could rally behind
after all it was an action RPG developed
by the likes of Platinum Games the guys
behind the Bayonetta series and Metal
Gear Rising revengeance crazy
third-person spectacles are kind of
their bread and butter you know and to
top it all off it allowed players to
play as both a cocky sword and gun
wielder as well as a freaking dragon
what could have gone wrong
well apparently Microsoft wasn’t all
that keen since it got cancelled in
January of this year number 4 aliens
colonial Marines 17 weeks ago to assess
Morocco was reported destroyed and yet
it’s on the other side of that door in
orbit over lv-426 talk about a failure
on all levels not only was the trailer
shown at e3 so different from the final
product that it seems like it was taken
from an entirely different game but what
we ended up with was a bug-ridden mess
and that’s not a xenomorph joke if you
disregard the fact that the Xenomorphs a
I were down riding confident what hurts
the game the most is its radical shift
in tone what was promised to be a
horrifying yet compelling FPS centered
around players making a last stand
against an alien horde turned out to be
a very boring and generic shooter that
had you going up against humans most of
the time humans
number three fable legends let’s see
what’s out there despite the fact that
the people series had more than its fair
share of broken promises the games did
resonate with an audience which makes
the fate of the franchise and Lionhead
Studios even more sad compromise
full of magic in what was meant to be a
big departure from the rest of the
series legends was revealed as a
cooperative action RPG wherein players
could create their own adventures
however whatever promise the game might
have shown was squashed with repeated
delays it barely managed to get past the
gate with its beta before getting
cancelled outright unfortunately the
company sank with it soon after it
seemed unlikely the heroes had seen the
last of the brothers puck number 2 no
man’s sky
this one’s still pretty painful to think
about and even with the trickle of
additional content that’s been poured
into it as of late we can’t fully
forgive and forget the travesty that was
this game’s initial release Shaun Murray
had promised us a galaxy like no other a
near infinite amount of plants to
discover a vast amount of aliens to
interact with and a whole plethora of
other amazing content like here we’re at
the boundary between two warring
factions I could join in
I could take sides well what do we get
instead planets weapons and species that
all look basically the same no factions
and worst of all the main objective of
traveling to the center of the galaxy
amounted to literally nothing Shawn if
you could hear us from your bunker

number one Star Wars 1313 I’ve seen
worse hell I’ve lived in worse a gritty
Star Wars game that would focus on the
early days of Boba Fett
sounds like an instant win right or at
least it would have been if it wasn’t
cancelled if you think this is the dirty
words you better get ready for a wake-up
call it gets a lot dirtier where we’re
headed what could have been both an
exploration into one of the sagas most
iconic characters as well as a blaster
filled action fest was left as a pipe
dream with nothing more than an epic III
trailer to its name after Disney
absorbed LucasArts the game was doomed
this merger may have eventually given us
the force awakens but it also resulted
in utter disappointment for gamers and
star wars fans alike it’s deep breath
will be the last rush here you’ll get
for a while chairs over right do you
