@@ChadKenovain fact it did so bad that it basically killed Microsoft’s relationship with the company. I think it was one of the best games ever made for the Xbox one in my opinion.
@ well yeah because they were bought out by Sony. The Spider-Man games are extremely good. But we probably won’t see a port over to PlayStation now though because they are making multiple huge IP’s for the next few years.
Yeah it was such a clever idea for a game I loved how you could pass through walls and eavesdrop on people’s conversations without them even knowing you were there, I also remember you could possess things in the world my favourite being a black cat
I know you said 007: Blood Stone was the first original bond game not based on a film, but I remember playing 007: Agent Under Fire on GameCube, 007: Nightfire on GameCube, and 007: Everything or Nothing on OG Xbox and I don't think that any of these were based on films either. All were great games.
Everything or Nothing is still the best Bond game bar none. That game hits all the right chords. Such a beautiful and expansive title. That was back when licenced properties were really something and EA wasn't completely evil. But I loved 007 Blood Stone so much I bought it on DVD for PC along with the Wheelman -- that's another underrated gem from Vin Diesel.
Mad Max is an incredible game kneecapped by releasing on literally the same day as Metal Gear Solid V. I think the devs straight up said the publisher pressed them into it too
Punisher is abandonware, most likely why they are "forgotten". I actually got both Condemned and Sleeping Dogs very cheap on steam maybe 2-3 months ago, they were both like $2-3. Btw, what's the story with Manhunt on Steam? I see it has dreadful reviews? I had that on hard copy back in the day.
@@J.J.Jameson_of_Daily_Bugle, bad reviews on Manhunt because it won't run properly on modern hardware. And even with the community patches, it can be tricky to make sure it runs properly. Took quite a while until I figured out mine. And it doesn't seem to be the same solution. Has some quirk to it that's just annoying. And Rockstar never bothered to have it updated.
@@PsychoRavager Oh I see. Then I guess it's better to just grab PS2 emulation. Some of those companies just released games on Steam and didn't do fixes for modern PC, but they are more then willing to charge full price 10 years after.
@@J.J.Jameson_of_Daily_Buglerockstar just ported the ps2 version to pc and then that version to steam without disabling the anti piracy triggers so the game was literally unplayable on steam they then decided to fix it by just downloading a pirated version of their own game that had the anti piracy triggers disabled by the crackers its just a whole shit show and a really interesting story
Syndicate aka "lighting bloom shooter", seriously the bloom in that game is fuckin' ludicrous, there are some sections of the game where looking at certain surfaces will burn your fuckin' eyes out hahaha
Medal of Honor. Really liked those games back on PS2 era, thought they were challenging specially on the later missions. European Assault is the one I played the most
Thief 4 was a disaster but interestingly enough it's the game that got me into the franchise. I first bought it back on launch day for the PS3. I didn't like the game but i pretended to out of denial (i mean i just blew half a year's pocket money buying it). Afterwards i got into playing the originals and Thief 2 Metal Age turned out to truly be a masterpiece. Thief Deadly Shadows too was an amazing game. What caused Thief 4 to tank were the questionable design choices, heavy consolization of the level design, the gameplay itself which doesn't even hold a candle to the originals, the awful story, and the changing of Garrett's voice actor. It's fucked up how they treated Stephen Russell, Arkane literally treated Stephen Russell with a lot more respect than how the Thief 4 team did. Even had him voice Corvo in Dishonored 2 which was an excellent touch and a big middle finger to the Thief 4 team
I really loved The thief 4 Game didn’t even realize that it was the fourth one and I have it on PlayStation 4 I also played it on PlayStation 3 back in the day and I still play it to this day would like them to make another game get off her high horse and make another sequel in my opinion damn I think it is good I love the sneaking aspects of the game chef kiss now they just need to get off their high horse and make another game just like it
007 Blood Stone for me is a pretty solid game. The gameplay was diverse and satisfying, there were shootouts, sneaking, recon, all the spy stuff that we see in the movies. Of course it was heavily scripted, but it was a game based on the movie, so I was very much into it, it gave me the movie experience that I was looking for, made me felt like a 007. I'm glad, that my dad bought it, it was a great game
I got some old forgotten games for you, they had some decent advertising for their time but are now forgotten by a lot of you: -The Kane and Lynch games -Inversion -Londen Hellgate -Spec ops the Line -Prototype -Brothers in Arms -Dungeon Keeper -Duke Nukem Forever -Orion Prelude -Risen -Spore -Tropico -Overlord
@@DerBaum91 Not really, The ''Civilization'' series is one people remember but Tropico not so much. Tropico last release was 5 years ago (almost 6 by now).
Dungeon Keeper is an absolute classic only two main games in series. Same with Overlord which has the same vibe but Pikmin-like gameplay. Highly recommend!
@@KasumiRINA Overlord stuck with me due to the weird gameplay. Pointing directions, retreating and attacking in combination with the right minions was all you had to do. Again, it had some decent advertising, but I don't see the sort of gameplay often anymore.
@@arostwocentswell daxter is good really didn’t like j & d the lost frontier too much slip flying for me i much prefer the platforming gameplay while I loved all the other jak and daxter games especially jak 2
I actually really enjoyed Murdered: Soul Suspect. The narrative was really interesting and I had a good time from beginning to end. The only gripe I had was that in order to get all the collectables I missed, I would need to start the whole game over instead of being able to freely go around and find them. Small gripe though
Some of my Forgotten Gems would be... Jet Force Gemini, Tenchu Z, Gun, Lost Odyssey, Shadow of Rome, Chromehounds, Final Fantasy Explorers, 007 Nightfire and 007 Agent Under Fire, and Illusion of Gaia. These are just some games I thought didn't really get much exposure but seemed to be great regardless. Some of them are games I specifically really want to be reborn in some way. Jet Force Gemini was a Rare classic for the N64. I really liked how it had the 3 character system, and you'd land in different parts of the planet on each character, and sometimes it had crossover but you'd have different access based on the character traits. Vela could swim, Juno could tank Lava, and Lupus could hover. Was cool getting the tribals and collecting bug heads, the minigames, the music, fish food... The controls are dated, but I think it could be a good one to revisit. SS Anubis and Water Ruin tracks are so good... (Still wish I could see the timeline where Nintendo bought Rare instead of Microsoft, and continued making bangers...) Tenchu Z was the first Tenchu game I played a lot. I think I played a few levels on a PS1 Tenchu, not enough to count. I wish we had more Ninja Stealth Action games. I know there's an indie game Aragami that made a game like that, but not many others since Tenchu Z in 2006. I only recently learned it was made by Fromsoft too. It was pretty mediocre, but I would love to see a well polished entry to the series. Yeah, we got Sekiro and that scratched some of the itch, but wasn't very "Ninja stealth" of a game. At least this year we have some interesting Ninja games in development. Hyped for Phantom Blade Zero. Gun was a fun western game similar to Red Dead Revolver, made by Neversoft/Activision on 360. I do not remember a ton from this game, but it was pretty enjoyable. I haven't gotten around to Red Dead Redemption 1 or 2, but I feel like it would have been the middleground between Red Dead Revolver, and Redemption. Lost Odyssey was a Turn Based RPG made by some of the FF Devs, namely Hironobu Sakaguchi and Nobuo Uematsu on music. I believe Mistwalker said they wouldn't do a remaster or anything, so that's a shame. This 360 game had a great story, gameplay, and music. Still missing one of the 99 seeds on my original save... It had a really cool skill mastering system between the "immortal" characters. Shadow of Rome was a Capcom hidden gem on PS2. Game was 60% gory Coliseum slaughterfest as Agrippa, 30% stealth sections as Octavianus, and 10% Chariot Racing. You could cut off a limb or a head and use it as a weapon, and you'd get "salvos" for it, giving you bonus points. Was absolute chaos and so fun. It had a very arcade-y feel to it with all the salvos popping up on your screen, you could taunt/cheer to the crowd and get bonus points, etc. Really want to have this game get a second chance one day, but unlikely. It was a little clunky, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Chromehounds was a Multiplayer Mech game from Sega. I had little interest in it until playing it at a friend's house, and I recall playing it quite a bit. It was fun to customize your mechs with sniper cannons or closer range stuff, use a quadrupedal set of legs or use a tank track. Seemed to be competitive with Armored Core, but a slower pace. AC has kinda done a lot of the same things. Final Fantasy Explorers was Square's idea of "Lets make Monster Hunter but FF". I actually enjoyed it, despite getting mediocre reception. I'm a little bias with the Jobs and mastering skills (FF Tactics Advance made me enjoy that system a lot...). It was cool to go fight Summon monsters and stuff as classic FF jobs. I think it was just majorly eclipsed out by MH4 on the 3DS, but I feel if they tried again on a non-handheld, it might do much better. It came out pretty late in the 3DS lifetime too. The two 007 games of the GC Era, Agent Under Fire, and Nightfire, were so good. I remember playing hours and hours of splitscreen with the boys. Rarely ever hear of anyone who played them but I really liked these games. I remember one had a grapple hook thing that made the game so goofy to play MP. Illusion of Gaia was an Enix game on the SNES. Also don't hear many people talk about this one, but I remember it fondly. Action RPG, had some metroidvania kind of things to it imo. Was cool that it had 3 playable characters you'd swap to for various things, interesting story, good music. Could probably name a few others if I thought about it, but those are what comes to mind. Other games I remember fondly, aren't very hidden or forgotten imo, so I didn't include them. I could list a bunch of games that are good but aren't crazy popular, but I tried to go after older games that really stuck out for me that I feel like most people haven't played. Like if I imagined asking an average gamer, they would likely have responded "No, never heard of it" lol. Edit: Also echo sentiment below for XIII, that game was so good on xbox when it came out. Haven't finished the remake, but it's not the same... Timesplitters is an honorable mention, but they just got rereleased so I left them off the list. I'll add more if I think of em/see them in other comments that I remembered also. Edit2: Also the oldschool Medal of Honor games were pretty good. I forgot to mention Shadowrun for X360. A really cool MP only shooter that Fasa Studios went bankrupt after making. Had really cool concepts for a shooter, played it a ton. Kinda felt like Counterstrike with magic. Didn't really pop off, but it was great. I see mentions of The Nightmare Before Christmas game, and Brink, two more games I completely forgot about, but were also quite mediocre. Another one I forgot about but didn't fully play was "Black", I remember it was this FPS that had graphics quite ahead of it's time, but played kinda poorly. Another mention from someone else is Brink, similar fate as Shadowrun, was still a pretty fun MP Shooter back in the day. Couple more that never got sequels, Crimson Skies, one of the OG Xbox Live titles, and Condemned, one of the OG Xbox 360 titles (it did get a sequel, but nothing after) Edit3: Oh my god I completely forgot about the Lord of the Rings games for the PS2 era. I remember Legolas was crazy OP with these purple elven arrows. I remember renting all of those and having so much fun. I also bought the Game Boy Advance title for one of them and it literally played like a Diablo knockoff but was so fun. I think it was the Two Towers or Return of the King.
Yes!! 007 Agent Under Fire was awesome! My brother and I also played countless hours of splitscreen, and that that grapple hook was my FAVORITE gadget. Hours of us grappling around the different maps, just trying to land a shot on the other. Great memories! Also, as a young lad, those two Asian ladies were quite memorable, haha
I completely forgot I'd played Thief 4 until I saw mrixrt's 7-years-on retrospective. Any memories of it blended with the Dishonored games and later Vampyr
Btw, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger was tragically the last voice performance of John Cygan. Most probably know him just for Solidus, but he REALLY gets lost in the role of Silas. As for other forgotten games? Plenty recommended here already, except for Freedom Fighters, Oni, Rayman 2: The Great Eacape, and also this one Polish shooter that I'm not sure if it was even translated; Kurka Wodna
Endwar. One of the few instances of mechanical innovation that was truly never seen before that really changed the way you played from other games. The voice command system was surprisingly smooth and accurate, and I would have loved to see further development of the technology. Sadly, it went the same way as the PS4s touch pad.
From what I remember Evolve failed because every single match became a hide and seek tournament where the monster would actively hide from the players and demolish them once they reach their final stage of evolution, I guess. Veteran human players who knew the map by heart could dominate the monster is record time, taking out the fun for everyone involved.
“The Outfit” it was a 3rd person shooter rts game in World War Two. You’d call in soldiers, machine gun nests, vehicles, and of course air support. Great coop fun and an early days Xbox 360 gem! I also have to bring attention whenever I can to the “Brothers in Arms” series that was a band of brothers story with shooter and squad commander gameplay.
"This one's for Deuce!" I got totally lost in the RTS elements of The Outfit and would spend a ludicrous amount of time in one level just building up armies and defenses, awesome characters too. Also a huge BiA fan and I wish to see Baker's story continue.
no way 30 secs into this video and this game came to my mind but could not remember the name until i read your comment. absolute amazing game i would also say stranglehold was a forgotten gem.
Darkest of Days is so awesome, General Custer having his last stand on top the hill blasting away Indians with duel revolvers goes so hard. Loved the music too.
Brink was pretty fun. I remember getting a bunch of the achievements on 360 before it just stopped. Another shooter that died off similarly was Shadowrun for X360. Gun was sick.
Seems strange to me that we've not had a new 007 game for over A Decade. A few years ago there was some talk of the Makers of Hitman doing one, but thats all gone quiet now.
Murdered: Soul Suspect, Thief, and The Culling will forever have a place in my heart as one of my favourite childhood games. They were such good games.
Thief 2014 was nice imo, the story was really engaging until that last chapter on the ship which went bonkers, gameplay was also cool The only really bad thing about the game was how short it was
I love Thi4f despite it being quite different than my favourite Thief which is Deadly Shadows. They changed the style from some kind of medieval to steampunk or whatever that is but the atmosphere was still great, the asylum level was pretty creepy and the story was quite engaging. There were some changes I didn't like but it was a reboot so I don't blame them as it was expected.
I remember being fairly hyped for Murder Soul suspect. Also Drakenguard 3, one of the most underrated JRPG's and its technically a prequel to Nier Automata. Unit 13 was also great too!
The Culling 2 was the original Concord, dropping and then closing down within a few days with the devs going back to work on game 1. Also the pay per match-scheme was for game 1, and was added as a last ditch effort to save the studio and bring in more revenue, after the game had been available to play normally for months, obviously it did not save the game or studio
I used to play Future Cops L.A.P.D. with my little brother co-op back in the day. Like 20 years ago. Got reminded of it recently and really, really wanna relieve that. I remember you play like transformer cars you can turn into walking robos, it even changed your view, from topdown to third person, and it kinda had like base defending or something.
I'm gonna go with Legendary. You play as a thief tricked into opening Pandora's box only for the box to stab your hand marking you and imbuing you with it's power. The box then releases a beam into the sky and mythological creatures begin pouring into reality. The game itself was very buggy, pc requires a lot of messing with ini files but fighting werewolves and minotaur's while managing your health through the power to drain the energy from their corpses was really fun and the premise alone deserves to be done justice.
one of my best memories of gaming was back in elementary school betting $5 on a 1v1 match of 007 Legends against my best friends older brother, i won but refused to take his $5 cause i figured we were just messing around only to find it tucked into the game manual when i got back home from the sleepover the next day. Just encapsulates what made gaming so special to me as a child
When I played "Prey" from 2017 I was absolutely dumbfounded how I hadn't heard more about the game. It was such an awesome experience with a lot of replay value.
Furi is criminally forgotten and underated. A game that has litteraly everything going for it, tight and responsive gameplay, memorable bossfights, really good voice acting and writing and sweet jesus there isn't a single word in the 7000 languages that exists that can describe how good the soundtrack is. It had everything yet nobody played it for some reason
You mentioning Blacklight Retribution brought back another childhood memory: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms, a free-to-play third-person shooter. I loved that shit as a kid.
Ryse: Son of Rome. Touted as a huge killer app for the XBOX One. Turned out to be a big nothing. Also, Crush the Castle, the flash game. And Sacred Seasons, if you've played it. And Panfu.
Peter Jackson's King Kong, any Rayman game, Splatterhouse, the Legend of Spyro, Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy, the House of the dead, Dark messiah of might and magic
My favorite bit in Soul Suspect is when you go out into the woods you can find some Ghost Hunters filming a TV show and the local ghosts are fucking with them while the TV show hosts pretend to "Sense" paranormal activity. Good game! It got eviscerated by gamers and critics at the time from what I remember but it had a solid foundation. Kind of weird how everyone in Salem drove the Same Ford Crown Victoria tho lol
14:10 the saboteur brings back some really good memories. I used to play this at my grandpas house every time after school when I waited on the bus home. My uncle lived with him so I played this on his ps3 among other games.
I forgot that Sly Cooper existed until a video got recommended on youtube and oh man did the memories come flying. I remember playing it on the PS2 when I was a kid. When I saw Murdered Soul Suspect came on, the memories of me watching the gameplay on youtube came back like it happened last week. One of the first games I truly followed on a youtubers gameplay and a game which I didn't want to play myself.
Call of juarez is SUCH a gem. Ive replayed it quite a bit. Its fun characters. Being able to focus on what weapons you like. Cool details like shooting through doors hitting enemies through them
@5:19 I actually purposefully bought Murder Soul Suspect bc I heard the studio shut down after the release. I also like predator, stealth, puzzle ect games like; Outlast, Arkham AVP & Isolation.
Looking at the state of games today, if Evolve was released in this era, nobody would even notice the egregious monetisation 😭. And in terms of the gameplay, Evolve walked so games like Dead by Daylight could run. I'm actually convinced if Evolve released now instead of when it did it would have actually been a big success. Hell it would have been a success back then if they actually added a campaign and had a better business model. That game had so much potential and I'm so glad people are finding ways to keep playing now, long after its death.
Some of the games mentioned aren't forgotten at all. Call of Juarez is still recommended and widely talked about in subreddits to this day when people are looking for suggestions on great western shooter games to play. Evolve still has an active pool of players and afaik they even got private servers.
Alpha Protocol. Came out in 2010 and was developed by Obsidian (Kotor 2, Fallout NV, Pillars of Eternity). Third person game where you basically play as a spy. Using martial arts, stealth, firearms. Choices you made affected the narrative. For the time it came out, I think it was great. A little wonky, but had a little bit of customization that was nice. I never see it talked about.
I will never forget these 3 games: "The Saboteur" still IS one of my favorite Open World games ever. Imagine if GTA and Assassins Creed had a baby in WWII, the changing of colors when reclaiming areas is brilliant, and where else can you jump from the top of Eiffel Tower into a pond and get into a car and drive all around Paris in one sitting?? This game deserves a well done remaster. "Murdered: Soul Suspect" was (I believe) the first Xbox exclusive that came out when the Xbox One started, I even bought it (along with DR3) when I got my first X1. Great story, cool and easy gameplay, amazing setting (Salem). I've been a fan of Bond films since I was a kid (early 70's) and I think "Bloodstone" is the only Bond game that feels like an actual movie with an original cool story. always wished they made it into a real movie.
Fun Fact: IOI interactive (the creators of the Hitman franchise) have acquired the James Bond video game licensing and are currently working on a new James Bond game they refer to as “Project 007”
Great video! Popular games get lots of screentime, but it's really cool to remember these less-known games. I enjoyed Quantum of Solace enough to 100% the achievements, and I loved The Saboteur for its aesthetic and soundtrack.
“Mercenaries 2 World in flames”. Pandemic was such a good studio. i’ve never played another game that gave me the same thrill as mercenaries did. being able to level a few builds with some c4 attached to a car being carried by a helicopter was awesome. it was a better “Just Cause” imo
.Matt hazard .Eat them .Mini ninjas .Cell factor psychokinetich wars (or something like that) .condemned .siren blood rain (or something like that) .how to survive .dead nation . prototype 1 and 2 By the way I believe they are awesome games
I remember Thief and Murdered Soul Suspect came out pretty early in the PS4 era when there was nothing else to play on it. Thief was the first PS4 game I bought just because I wanted something to play on the new system. It's an alright game but as I recall, it was a reboot and all the OG Thief fans moaned and complained about it so it's no wonder it's forgotten about now. Now Murdered Soul Suspect was a good game. I remember it being pretty short and not a whole lot of gameplay but the idea felt unique and if it had the opportunity to be expanded upon further, it had the potential to be a great series. 2 games that came out in the dead wasteland that was the early PS4 life cycle.
Deus Ex series in general deserves a second chance and a better writer. i still love the original, Human Revolution and Mankind divide (even with the flaws)
I remember playing Evolve on Xbox when the servers (peer to peer) were properly shut down a year after the Stage 2 revival. Such a damn good time, taught new players how to actually play and enjoy the game since only the last few players stuck around by that time. You can still play it btw but only for PC with others. Console is stuck with bots.
F.E.A.R. (2005, Monolith Productions) was a game ahead of it's time. Supernatural horror FPS with a clear influence from J-horror. Also, sports a quite good ragdoll physics, plus bullet-time effects. The Suffering (2004, Surreal Software). Supernatural, body-horror shooter with an interesting plot and setting. Spec Ops: The Line (2012, Yager Development). A good game that has been delisted from Steam in January, this year🪦
I just played F.E.A.R. and Spec Ops for the first time last year.. man what wild rides they were, bot of 'em! Tho it seems i can still play Spec Ops on Steam, im kicking myself for not getting the game on GOG instead
I played the wii 007 and blacklight retribuiton as a kid/teen. I really enjoyed the system they had for obtaining points and trading them for op gear (althought iirc, you would lose almost all points if you died, which lead you to having to be careful to not die). the seiing through walls hability was fun too and really well traded since you couldnt use it forever nor shoot at the same time, and the rental/purchase system was really well done. As for 007, great game, played the campaign several times, and had a blast doing so. The theme song was a banger too.
Murdered soul suspect is one of the most interesting, unique games I’ve ever played will have to play through it fully soon - always thought it was really cool how you could eavesdrop on people’s conversations without them knowing you are there and travel through walls
The first Blacklight game was really fun, I wish I could still play it even if it was just offline with bots. Retribution wasn't as fun for me, didn't feel the same, didn't play very much of it.
Just gonna add one more game, which is Section 8. The game have 2 entries, the first game and its sequel, Section 8: Prejudice. I remembered people did compare it to the Halo franchise due to one vehicle it has which is similar to the Ghost. I really had lots of fun playing both games in this series with the player character has unique class type and high customization for their inventory. Plus, the variety of objectives player can participate when in the multiplayer or Vs AI game modes. Edit: Forgot to mention the Drop system, where you can basically Orbital drop into battle since your character literally wears an Power armor for combat.
I grew up during the late 2000’s up to the mid-2010's, which were my childhood gaming golden days (and as an adult today, I still play in my free time, but not as much time as I had before). Aside from the games that were released in my childhood, I also played a lot of late 90's and early 2000's games. I also remember having a list that I kept updating up until 2019-ish.

Sleeping dogs is a great game but doesnt get brought up enough
i wish it had mods, especially first person mod. The game's world is one of the best designed open worlds.
Sleeping Dogs is one of my favorite games. I need a successor.
Always wanted to play that never got too
Sleeping dogs is underrated for sure
I think it would be more succesfull if it hadn't been banned in some countries like in mine (Germany)
When Murdered: Soul Suspect is on sale, it’s like $3.
And those $3 are well worth it for the game.
I have it on 360 and never played it haha
Yeah i got it years ago but got bored
Scared me, but I really liked the story and gameplay. It deserved a lot more love for sure
I stopped playing that game because to my memory the timing on the quick time event to exorcise the bad ghosts was way too small to get.
Prototype and Gravity Rush are some of my personal favorites that are decently forgotten
Yeah well they don't run anymore since....Windows 10 I think?
@@Baustakar Prototype runs finely on Win10 last time I played it.
@@Baustakar they're on Xbox
I still play prototype today 😂
Love them both easily
Murdered: soul suspect goes on sale almost every week for 2 dollars, a really good game that’s definitely worth a play through
Yeah I agree it is such a clever idea for a game I played it on ps3 years ago I think I only got to the Salem with trials area
Sunset Overdrive is a great game but doesnt get brought up enough and left as a cliffhanger i really want a part 2
Yea never understood why it didn’t do better it was and still is a fun game. Actually put it and Mad Max on my Asus Ally a couple days ago
@@ChadKenovain fact it did so bad that it basically killed Microsoft’s relationship with the company. I think it was one of the best games ever made for the Xbox one in my opinion.
Worst part insomniac asked Xbox if they could make a sequel they actively wanted it an Xbox said no so they went and made Spiderman 😢
And it's tragedy that they removed coop mode from the PC port. And port itself wasn't brilliant
@ well yeah because they were bought out by Sony. The Spider-Man games are extremely good. But we probably won’t see a port over to PlayStation now though because they are making multiple huge IP’s for the next few years.
No one lives forever, Mag, black, mission impossible. So many good games were made. Broken sword series
I remember being able to play the Black demo disc back in the day because my dad was subscribed to a gaming magazine.
Mag was the shit
Black was awesome, X Men legends are two other PS2 games I think get forgotten
@@mattmartin6493 Black would make a great re make or follow on from the story.
Man, Murdered: Soul Suspect was a gem.
Yeah it was such a clever idea for a game I loved how you could pass through walls and eavesdrop on people’s conversations without them even knowing you were there, I also remember you could possess things in the world my favourite being a black cat
I know you said 007: Blood Stone was the first original bond game not based on a film, but I remember playing 007: Agent Under Fire on GameCube, 007: Nightfire on GameCube, and 007: Everything or Nothing on OG Xbox and I don't think that any of these were based on films either. All were great games.
Agent Under Fire and Nightfire have special places in my childhood.
@@Banananaki Same.
And GoldenEye rogue agent
Everything or Nothing is still the best Bond game bar none. That game hits all the right chords. Such a beautiful and expansive title. That was back when licenced properties were really something and EA wasn't completely evil. But I loved 007 Blood Stone so much I bought it on DVD for PC along with the Wheelman -- that's another underrated gem from Vin Diesel.
This. That damn co op was so fun
I got a game for you “Mad Max” fun as hell game and I wish we could have had a sequel to that gem
It and Alien: Isolation are the 2 best movie inspired games I can think of.
@@hunterking6033 luckily isolation is getting a sequel more than a decade later
Mad Max is an incredible game kneecapped by releasing on literally the same day as Metal Gear Solid V. I think the devs straight up said the publisher pressed them into it too
@@nivaneh1010 WAIT REALLY!?!? Please tell me this is true.
@@AcousticCookie yes look it up
Punisher, Ghost Rider, The Darkness games, Condemned, Manhunt, Sleeping Dogs.
Punisher is abandonware, most likely why they are "forgotten". I actually got both Condemned and Sleeping Dogs very cheap on steam maybe 2-3 months ago, they were both like $2-3.
Btw, what's the story with Manhunt on Steam? I see it has dreadful reviews? I had that on hard copy back in the day.
@@J.J.Jameson_of_Daily_Bugle, bad reviews on Manhunt because it won't run properly on modern hardware. And even with the community patches, it can be tricky to make sure it runs properly. Took quite a while until I figured out mine. And it doesn't seem to be the same solution. Has some quirk to it that's just annoying. And Rockstar never bothered to have it updated.
@@PsychoRavager Oh I see. Then I guess it's better to just grab PS2 emulation.
Some of those companies just released games on Steam and didn't do fixes for modern PC, but they are more then willing to charge full price 10 years after.
@@J.J.Jameson_of_Daily_Buglerockstar just ported the ps2 version to pc and then that version to steam without disabling the anti piracy triggers so the game was literally unplayable on steam
they then decided to fix it by just downloading a pirated version of their own game that had the anti piracy triggers disabled by the crackers
its just a whole shit show and a really interesting story
Weird cause I remember all of those
Alice Madness Returns
Enslaved Odyssey to the West
Infamous
I was about to type Enslaved
Don't think anyone has forgotten Infamous, those games were too good
Prototype
We need more Alice games.
I thought Enslaved was very janky but it seems I'm in the minority
prey (2017), syndicate (2012) ,dark and darker
Someone finally mentioned syndicate. I loved that game in the ps3.
Remember Syndicate mostly for how much Jeff Gerstmann from giant bomb loved it.
Syndicate aka "lighting bloom shooter", seriously the bloom in that game is fuckin' ludicrous, there are some sections of the game where looking at certain surfaces will burn your fuckin' eyes out hahaha
@@takoshihitsamaru4675 Syndicate was a franchise and the FPS was it's failed revival :(
@MadsterV I know 🙂
Medal of Honor. Really liked those games back on PS2 era, thought they were challenging specially on the later missions. European Assault is the one I played the most
Call of Jaruez was a hell of a series, gunslinger was awesome. It just needed to be longer.
Binary Domain, Condemned 2 (most people remember the first game and FEAR much more), Lost Planet, Warhawk/Starhawk, Soul Sacrifice
Binary Domain was great. Enjoyed that one
Now would be reboot as Non-Binary Domain
Binary Domain is criminally underrecognized. Brilliant game.
Condemned 2 was sadly never released for PC. Only the XBox 360 got it. But imo the First one is much better.
Thief 4 was a disaster but interestingly enough it's the game that got me into the franchise. I first bought it back on launch day for the PS3. I didn't like the game but i pretended to out of denial (i mean i just blew half a year's pocket money buying it). Afterwards i got into playing the originals and Thief 2 Metal Age turned out to truly be a masterpiece. Thief Deadly Shadows too was an amazing game. What caused Thief 4 to tank were the questionable design choices, heavy consolization of the level design, the gameplay itself which doesn't even hold a candle to the originals, the awful story, and the changing of Garrett's voice actor. It's fucked up how they treated Stephen Russell, Arkane literally treated Stephen Russell with a lot more respect than how the Thief 4 team did. Even had him voice Corvo in Dishonored 2 which was an excellent touch and a big middle finger to the Thief 4 team
I really loved The thief 4 Game didn’t even realize that it was the fourth one and I have it on PlayStation 4 I also played it on PlayStation 3 back in the day and I still play it to this day would like them to make another game get off her high horse and make another sequel in my opinion damn I think it is good I love the sneaking aspects of the game chef kiss now they just need to get off their high horse and make another game just like it
Murdered: Soul Suspect is so good 😭😭
those james bond games were fire, I played tf out of them, the multiplayer too
I played the Wii remake of goldeneye a ton
The servers are back on for PS3
Turok 2008 was good in my opinion. Cool knife finishers, bow, weapons in both hands.
Inversion
Sleeping Dogs
TimeShift
Brute Force
Remember Me (ironic)
Delta Force
Fracture
Enslaved
Another person who remembers (heh) Remember Me! I was trying to remember Fracture as well.
i had a cd disk of Delta Force
007 Blood Stone for me is a pretty solid game. The gameplay was diverse and satisfying, there were shootouts, sneaking, recon, all the spy stuff that we see in the movies. Of course it was heavily scripted, but it was a game based on the movie, so I was very much into it, it gave me the movie experience that I was looking for, made me felt like a 007. I'm glad, that my dad bought it, it was a great game
Lord of the Rings: Conquest. Pandemic Studios basically took the original Star Wars Battlefront games and put it in a Lord of the Rings setting.
I played sommany hours of this game. I don't know why this didn't pop into my mind. I guess even I forgot.
YES!! I feel like a remaster for this game would be awesome. Hopefully better than the Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005) remastered
I loved that game. It really needed a Galactic Conquest equivalent to really make it complete.
@@davidcervantes7961do you mean the battlefront collection cause that’s both games not just battlefront 2
I got some old forgotten games for you, they had some decent advertising for their time but are now forgotten by a lot of you:
-The Kane and Lynch games
-Inversion
-Londen Hellgate
-Spec ops the Line
-Prototype
-Brothers in Arms
-Dungeon Keeper
-Duke Nukem Forever
-Orion Prelude
-Risen
-Spore
-Tropico
-Overlord
Doesn't Tropico get a new game every few years? :D
@@DerBaum91 Not really, The ''Civilization'' series is one people remember but Tropico not so much. Tropico last release was 5 years ago (almost 6 by now).
Brothers in arms will be sorely missed. We couldn't even get a proper ending to Baker's story
Dungeon Keeper is an absolute classic only two main games in series. Same with Overlord which has the same vibe but Pikmin-like gameplay. Highly recommend!
@@KasumiRINA Overlord stuck with me due to the weird gameplay. Pointing directions, retreating and attacking in combination with the right minions was all you had to do. Again, it had some decent advertising, but I don't see the sort of gameplay often anymore.
Murdered: Soul Suspect was a very fun game to play. I’ve even replayed it after a few years.
Yeah it’s so unique I love it as well I liked how you could possess things in the game world it was really fun being a black cat
The saboteur was a blast, I wish there was a remaster of it. Pandemic put out so many great games back in the day
Socom, sly cooper, killzone, jak and dexter .
Sly 4 & Killzone Mercenary are both great
Jak & Daxter & Daxter on psp are both great too
@@arostwocentswell daxter is good really didn’t like j & d the lost frontier too much slip flying for me i much prefer the platforming gameplay while I loved all the other jak and daxter games especially jak 2
I actually really enjoyed Murdered: Soul Suspect. The narrative was really interesting and I had a good time from beginning to end. The only gripe I had was that in order to get all the collectables I missed, I would need to start the whole game over instead of being able to freely go around and find them. Small gripe though
Some of my Forgotten Gems would be... Jet Force Gemini, Tenchu Z, Gun, Lost Odyssey, Shadow of Rome, Chromehounds, Final Fantasy Explorers, 007 Nightfire and 007 Agent Under Fire, and Illusion of Gaia. These are just some games I thought didn't really get much exposure but seemed to be great regardless. Some of them are games I specifically really want to be reborn in some way.
Jet Force Gemini was a Rare classic for the N64. I really liked how it had the 3 character system, and you'd land in different parts of the planet on each character, and sometimes it had crossover but you'd have different access based on the character traits. Vela could swim, Juno could tank Lava, and Lupus could hover. Was cool getting the tribals and collecting bug heads, the minigames, the music, fish food... The controls are dated, but I think it could be a good one to revisit. SS Anubis and Water Ruin tracks are so good... (Still wish I could see the timeline where Nintendo bought Rare instead of Microsoft, and continued making bangers...)
Tenchu Z was the first Tenchu game I played a lot. I think I played a few levels on a PS1 Tenchu, not enough to count. I wish we had more Ninja Stealth Action games. I know there's an indie game Aragami that made a game like that, but not many others since Tenchu Z in 2006. I only recently learned it was made by Fromsoft too. It was pretty mediocre, but I would love to see a well polished entry to the series. Yeah, we got Sekiro and that scratched some of the itch, but wasn't very "Ninja stealth" of a game. At least this year we have some interesting Ninja games in development. Hyped for Phantom Blade Zero.
Gun was a fun western game similar to Red Dead Revolver, made by Neversoft/Activision on 360. I do not remember a ton from this game, but it was pretty enjoyable. I haven't gotten around to Red Dead Redemption 1 or 2, but I feel like it would have been the middleground between Red Dead Revolver, and Redemption.
Lost Odyssey was a Turn Based RPG made by some of the FF Devs, namely Hironobu Sakaguchi and Nobuo Uematsu on music. I believe Mistwalker said they wouldn't do a remaster or anything, so that's a shame. This 360 game had a great story, gameplay, and music. Still missing one of the 99 seeds on my original save... It had a really cool skill mastering system between the "immortal" characters.
Shadow of Rome was a Capcom hidden gem on PS2. Game was 60% gory Coliseum slaughterfest as Agrippa, 30% stealth sections as Octavianus, and 10% Chariot Racing. You could cut off a limb or a head and use it as a weapon, and you'd get "salvos" for it, giving you bonus points. Was absolute chaos and so fun. It had a very arcade-y feel to it with all the salvos popping up on your screen, you could taunt/cheer to the crowd and get bonus points, etc. Really want to have this game get a second chance one day, but unlikely. It was a little clunky, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Chromehounds was a Multiplayer Mech game from Sega. I had little interest in it until playing it at a friend's house, and I recall playing it quite a bit. It was fun to customize your mechs with sniper cannons or closer range stuff, use a quadrupedal set of legs or use a tank track. Seemed to be competitive with Armored Core, but a slower pace. AC has kinda done a lot of the same things.
Final Fantasy Explorers was Square's idea of "Lets make Monster Hunter but FF". I actually enjoyed it, despite getting mediocre reception. I'm a little bias with the Jobs and mastering skills (FF Tactics Advance made me enjoy that system a lot...). It was cool to go fight Summon monsters and stuff as classic FF jobs. I think it was just majorly eclipsed out by MH4 on the 3DS, but I feel if they tried again on a non-handheld, it might do much better. It came out pretty late in the 3DS lifetime too.
The two 007 games of the GC Era, Agent Under Fire, and Nightfire, were so good. I remember playing hours and hours of splitscreen with the boys. Rarely ever hear of anyone who played them but I really liked these games. I remember one had a grapple hook thing that made the game so goofy to play MP.
Illusion of Gaia was an Enix game on the SNES. Also don't hear many people talk about this one, but I remember it fondly. Action RPG, had some metroidvania kind of things to it imo. Was cool that it had 3 playable characters you'd swap to for various things, interesting story, good music.
Could probably name a few others if I thought about it, but those are what comes to mind. Other games I remember fondly, aren't very hidden or forgotten imo, so I didn't include them. I could list a bunch of games that are good but aren't crazy popular, but I tried to go after older games that really stuck out for me that I feel like most people haven't played. Like if I imagined asking an average gamer, they would likely have responded "No, never heard of it" lol.
Edit: Also echo sentiment below for XIII, that game was so good on xbox when it came out. Haven't finished the remake, but it's not the same... Timesplitters is an honorable mention, but they just got rereleased so I left them off the list. I'll add more if I think of em/see them in other comments that I remembered also.
Edit2: Also the oldschool Medal of Honor games were pretty good. I forgot to mention Shadowrun for X360. A really cool MP only shooter that Fasa Studios went bankrupt after making. Had really cool concepts for a shooter, played it a ton. Kinda felt like Counterstrike with magic. Didn't really pop off, but it was great. I see mentions of The Nightmare Before Christmas game, and Brink, two more games I completely forgot about, but were also quite mediocre. Another one I forgot about but didn't fully play was "Black", I remember it was this FPS that had graphics quite ahead of it's time, but played kinda poorly. Another mention from someone else is Brink, similar fate as Shadowrun, was still a pretty fun MP Shooter back in the day. Couple more that never got sequels, Crimson Skies, one of the OG Xbox Live titles, and Condemned, one of the OG Xbox 360 titles (it did get a sequel, but nothing after)
Edit3: Oh my god I completely forgot about the Lord of the Rings games for the PS2 era. I remember Legolas was crazy OP with these purple elven arrows. I remember renting all of those and having so much fun. I also bought the Game Boy Advance title for one of them and it literally played like a Diablo knockoff but was so fun. I think it was the Two Towers or Return of the King.
Yes!! 007 Agent Under Fire was awesome! My brother and I also played countless hours of splitscreen, and that that grapple hook was my FAVORITE gadget. Hours of us grappling around the different maps, just trying to land a shot on the other. Great memories! Also, as a young lad, those two Asian ladies were quite memorable, haha
Good times!
You get a like for completing your essay homework and going for extra credit.
Chromehounds was a great game. It was interesting finding out years later that it was developed by FromSoftware.
@@thaiviper5392 Oh damn, TIL. I didn't know that one was Fromsoft also, I knew AC was. That explains the similarities.
I completely forgot I'd played Thief 4 until I saw mrixrt's 7-years-on retrospective. Any memories of it blended with the Dishonored games and later Vampyr
Bulletstorm and Brink always come to mind when I think about childhood forgotten games
Thief was wierd to be reminded of existing. Imma go try it again
Btw, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger was tragically the last voice performance of John Cygan. Most probably know him just for Solidus, but he REALLY gets lost in the role of Silas.
As for other forgotten games? Plenty recommended here already, except for Freedom Fighters, Oni, Rayman 2: The Great Eacape, and also this one Polish shooter that I'm not sure if it was even translated; Kurka Wodna
Fellow Freedom Fighters enjoyer.
Endwar. One of the few instances of mechanical innovation that was truly never seen before that really changed the way you played from other games. The voice command system was surprisingly smooth and accurate, and I would have loved to see further development of the technology. Sadly, it went the same way as the PS4s touch pad.
I had this as a bonus that came with RSV2 and was hooked. Not my typical style of play but it didn't matter at all
From what I remember Evolve failed because every single match became a hide and seek tournament where the monster would actively hide from the players and demolish them once they reach their final stage of evolution, I guess.
Veteran human players who knew the map by heart could dominate the monster is record time, taking out the fun for everyone involved.
“The Outfit” it was a 3rd person shooter rts game in World War Two. You’d call in soldiers, machine gun nests, vehicles, and of course air support. Great coop fun and an early days Xbox 360 gem!
I also have to bring attention whenever I can to the “Brothers in Arms” series that was a band of brothers story with shooter and squad commander gameplay.
"This one's for Deuce!" I got totally lost in the RTS elements of The Outfit and would spend a ludicrous amount of time in one level just building up armies and defenses, awesome characters too. Also a huge BiA fan and I wish to see Baker's story continue.
no way 30 secs into this video and this game came to my mind but could not remember the name until i read your comment. absolute amazing game i would also say stranglehold was a forgotten gem.
Thief is one of my favourite games, the music and just the environment is my favourite aesthetics
Thief was never boring just limited... Still playing it tho
Thief on pc is great I'm not sure about why it gets hate. I find the first three to be dull and clunky even for the time.
Miss the old 2000s games, there was stories, nice gameplay, passionate devs & more.
Now, Barely any of this.
Darkest of Days. A time traveling historical FPS. Definitely recommend it.
Darkest of Days is so awesome, General Custer having his last stand on top the hill blasting away Indians with duel revolvers goes so hard. Loved the music too.
Brink, Remember Me,, Gun, Brothers In Arms, Bulletstorm, Wet, the Killzone and Rewistence series, and MAG.
Brink was pretty fun. I remember getting a bunch of the achievements on 360 before it just stopped. Another shooter that died off similarly was Shadowrun for X360. Gun was sick.
Yeah remember me was a really cool idea and executed pretty good loved the future setting
Seems strange to me that we've not had a new 007 game for over A Decade. A few years ago there was some talk of the Makers of Hitman doing one, but thats all gone quiet now.
Murdered: Soul Suspect, Thief, and The Culling will forever have a place in my heart as one of my favourite childhood games. They were such good games.
Did not expect most of these games being my childhood gem that I to this day still miss.
Hellgate London,Dungeon Siege 2,Sacred 2
I go back and play Bulletstorm and The Darkness II every time I remember they exist
Thief 2014 was nice imo, the story was really engaging until that last chapter on the ship which went bonkers, gameplay was also cool
The only really bad thing about the game was how short it was
Hey can anyone say what the game is at 0:15? Been looking for this since 2011
Saboteur
Very underrated and well worth your time I might add.
@@Jamirokyo tysm
@@Stryker98very much so
Saboteur
Thief was actually a good time.
TimeShift and Singularity! Both are one hit wonders with great campaigns.
I love Thi4f despite it being quite different than my favourite Thief which is Deadly Shadows. They changed the style from some kind of medieval to steampunk or whatever that is but the atmosphere was still great, the asylum level was pretty creepy and the story was quite engaging. There were some changes I didn't like but it was a reboot so I don't blame them as it was expected.
Yeah I also liked Thief 4. Played it multiple times
I remember being fairly hyped for Murder Soul suspect. Also Drakenguard 3, one of the most underrated JRPG's and its technically a prequel to Nier Automata. Unit 13 was also great too!
Loved playing ‘Lord of the Rings, War in the North’
Which you can only buy keys from GameStop for near original price
The Culling 2 was the original Concord, dropping and then closing down within a few days with the devs going back to work on game 1. Also the pay per match-scheme was for game 1, and was added as a last ditch effort to save the studio and bring in more revenue, after the game had been available to play normally for months, obviously it did not save the game or studio
Brink the Jason Bourne game and Army of Two dont get mentioned enough
I used to play Future Cops L.A.P.D. with my little brother co-op back in the day. Like 20 years ago. Got reminded of it recently and really, really wanna relieve that. I remember you play like transformer cars you can turn into walking robos, it even changed your view, from topdown to third person, and it kinda had like base defending or something.
I'm gonna go with Legendary.
You play as a thief tricked into opening Pandora's box only for the box to stab your hand marking you and imbuing you with it's power.
The box then releases a beam into the sky and mythological creatures begin pouring into reality.
The game itself was very buggy, pc requires a lot of messing with ini files but fighting werewolves and minotaur's while managing your health through the power to drain the energy from their corpses was really fun and the premise alone deserves to be done justice.
007 Nightfire was goated. The Conflict series was also badass, Conflict: Vietnam in particular.
Conflict Desert Storm lets gooooo
one of my best memories of gaming was back in elementary school betting $5 on a 1v1 match of 007 Legends against my best friends older brother, i won but refused to take his $5 cause i figured we were just messing around only to find it tucked into the game manual when i got back home from the sleepover the next day. Just encapsulates what made gaming so special to me as a child
When I played "Prey" from 2017 I was absolutely dumbfounded how I hadn't heard more about the game. It was such an awesome experience with a lot of replay value.
Furi is criminally forgotten and underated. A game that has litteraly everything going for it, tight and responsive gameplay, memorable bossfights, really good voice acting and writing and sweet jesus there isn't a single word in the 7000 languages that exists that can describe how good the soundtrack is. It had everything yet nobody played it for some reason
And my favorite arcade racing game, Split Second. Super fun game that has split screen.
call of juarez gunslinger is such a fantastic game. I still go back and play it every once in a while
You mentioning Blacklight Retribution brought back another childhood memory: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms, a free-to-play third-person shooter. I loved that shit as a kid.
Ryse: Son of Rome. Touted as a huge killer app for the XBOX One. Turned out to be a big nothing. Also, Crush the Castle, the flash game. And Sacred Seasons, if you've played it. And Panfu.
Peter Jackson's King Kong, any Rayman game, Splatterhouse, the Legend of Spyro, Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy, the House of the dead, Dark messiah of might and magic
My favorite bit in Soul Suspect is when you go out into the woods you can find some Ghost Hunters filming a TV show and the local ghosts are fucking with them while the TV show hosts pretend to "Sense" paranormal activity.
Good game! It got eviscerated by gamers and critics at the time from what I remember but it had a solid foundation. Kind of weird how everyone in Salem drove the Same Ford Crown Victoria tho lol
I didn't realise Murdered Sole Suspect did so bad. I got that back when it was new and had a great time with it.
2:20 - Um… first original story not based on a film? I think that goes to 007: Everything Or Nothing.
Came to the comments specifically to say this, not only _Everything Or Nothing_ , but also _Nightfire_ and _Agent Under Fire_ as well
14:10 the saboteur brings back some really good memories. I used to play this at my grandpas house every time after school when I waited on the bus home. My uncle lived with him so I played this on his ps3 among other games.
Section 8 was such an amazing multiplayer expirience, I miss those kind of games.
Holy shit I remember blacklight. Those games were awesome
I forgot that Sly Cooper existed until a video got recommended on youtube and oh man did the memories come flying. I remember playing it on the PS2 when I was a kid.
When I saw Murdered Soul Suspect came on, the memories of me watching the gameplay on youtube came back like it happened last week. One of the first games I truly followed on a youtubers gameplay and a game which I didn't want to play myself.
Murder Soul Suspect is still My Favorite Game of All
Personally, for me, it is Ensavled Odyssey to the west. It has a weird ending, but it's a really fun game.
Yeah I’ve heard of the weird ending i enjoyed the demo but always thought it was weird how you couldn’t really die when doing the platforming sections
Call of juarez is SUCH a gem. Ive replayed it quite a bit. Its fun characters. Being able to focus on what weapons you like. Cool details like shooting through doors hitting enemies through them
Mercenaries 1 but mostly 2. Great games that got delisted years ago.
@5:19 I actually purposefully bought Murder Soul Suspect bc I heard the studio shut down after the release. I also like predator, stealth, puzzle ect games like; Outlast, Arkham AVP & Isolation.
1:35 golden eye 007 was also on the xbox 360 also on the store available as a demo, how i played it when it was of existence.
Looking at the state of games today, if Evolve was released in this era, nobody would even notice the egregious monetisation 😭.
And in terms of the gameplay, Evolve walked so games like Dead by Daylight could run.
I'm actually convinced if Evolve released now instead of when it did it would have actually been a big success. Hell it would have been a success back then if they actually added a campaign and had a better business model.
That game had so much potential and I'm so glad people are finding ways to keep playing now, long after its death.
Some of the games mentioned aren't forgotten at all.
Call of Juarez is still recommended and widely talked about in subreddits to this day when people are looking for suggestions on great western shooter games to play.
Evolve still has an active pool of players and afaik they even got private servers.
Murdered: Soul Suspect was such a cool game. It did what Medium tried and failed to do, almost a decade earlier.
Alpha Protocol. Came out in 2010 and was developed by Obsidian (Kotor 2, Fallout NV, Pillars of Eternity). Third person game where you basically play as a spy. Using martial arts, stealth, firearms. Choices you made affected the narrative. For the time it came out, I think it was great. A little wonky, but had a little bit of customization that was nice. I never see it talked about.
anyone else remembers "time shift", the FPS game where you can pause, slow, and rewind time.
I will never forget these 3 games:
"The Saboteur" still IS one of my favorite Open World games ever. Imagine if GTA and Assassins Creed had a baby in WWII, the changing of colors when reclaiming areas is brilliant, and where else can you jump from the top of Eiffel Tower into a pond and get into a car and drive all around Paris in one sitting?? This game deserves a well done remaster.
"Murdered: Soul Suspect" was (I believe) the first Xbox exclusive that came out when the Xbox One started, I even bought it (along with DR3) when I got my first X1. Great story, cool and easy gameplay, amazing setting (Salem).
I've been a fan of Bond films since I was a kid (early 70's) and I think "Bloodstone" is the only Bond game that feels like an actual movie with an original cool story. always wished they made it into a real movie.
Fun Fact: IOI interactive (the creators of the Hitman franchise) have acquired the James Bond video game licensing and are currently working on a new James Bond game they refer to as “Project 007”
Great video! Popular games get lots of screentime, but it's really cool to remember these less-known games. I enjoyed Quantum of Solace enough to 100% the achievements, and I loved The Saboteur for its aesthetic and soundtrack.
“Mercenaries 2 World in flames”. Pandemic was such a good studio. i’ve never played another game that gave me the same thrill as mercenaries did. being able to level a few builds with some c4 attached to a car being carried by a helicopter was awesome. it was a better “Just Cause” imo
.Matt hazard
.Eat them
.Mini ninjas
.Cell factor psychokinetich wars (or something like that)
.condemned
.siren blood rain (or something like that)
.how to survive
.dead nation
. prototype 1 and 2
By the way I believe they are awesome games
I remember Thief and Murdered Soul Suspect came out pretty early in the PS4 era when there was nothing else to play on it. Thief was the first PS4 game I bought just because I wanted something to play on the new system. It's an alright game but as I recall, it was a reboot and all the OG Thief fans moaned and complained about it so it's no wonder it's forgotten about now.
Now Murdered Soul Suspect was a good game. I remember it being pretty short and not a whole lot of gameplay but the idea felt unique and if it had the opportunity to be expanded upon further, it had the potential to be a great series. 2 games that came out in the dead wasteland that was the early PS4 life cycle.
Deus Ex series in general deserves a second chance and a better writer. i still love the original, Human Revolution and Mankind divide (even with the flaws)
I remember playing Evolve on Xbox when the servers (peer to peer) were properly shut down a year after the Stage 2 revival. Such a damn good time, taught new players how to actually play and enjoy the game since only the last few players stuck around by that time.
You can still play it btw but only for PC with others. Console is stuck with bots.
F.E.A.R. (2005, Monolith Productions) was a game ahead of it's time. Supernatural horror FPS with a clear influence from J-horror. Also, sports a quite good ragdoll physics, plus bullet-time effects.
The Suffering (2004, Surreal Software). Supernatural, body-horror shooter with an interesting plot and setting.
Spec Ops: The Line (2012, Yager Development). A good game that has been delisted from Steam in January, this year🪦
I just played F.E.A.R. and Spec Ops for the first time last year.. man what wild rides they were, bot of 'em! Tho it seems i can still play Spec Ops on Steam, im kicking myself for not getting the game on GOG instead
I played the wii 007 and blacklight retribuiton as a kid/teen. I really enjoyed the system they had for obtaining points and trading them for op gear (althought iirc, you would lose almost all points if you died, which lead you to having to be careful to not die). the seiing through walls hability was fun too and really well traded since you couldnt use it forever nor shoot at the same time, and the rental/purchase system was really well done. As for 007, great game, played the campaign several times, and had a blast doing so. The theme song was a banger too.
Murdered soul suspect is one of the most interesting, unique games I’ve ever played will have to play through it fully soon - always thought it was really cool how you could eavesdrop on people’s conversations without them knowing you are there and travel through walls
The first Blacklight game was really fun, I wish I could still play it even if it was just offline with bots. Retribution wasn't as fun for me, didn't feel the same, didn't play very much of it.
Just gonna add one more game, which is Section 8. The game have 2 entries, the first game and its sequel, Section 8: Prejudice. I remembered people did compare it to the Halo franchise due to one vehicle it has which is similar to the Ghost. I really had lots of fun playing both games in this series with the player character has unique class type and high customization for their inventory. Plus, the variety of objectives player can participate when in the multiplayer or Vs AI game modes.
Edit: Forgot to mention the Drop system, where you can basically Orbital drop into battle since your character literally wears an Power armor for combat.
I grew up during the late 2000’s up to the mid-2010's, which were my childhood gaming golden days (and as an adult today, I still play in my free time, but not as much time as I had before).
Aside from the games that were released in my childhood, I also played a lot of late 90's and early 2000's games. I also remember having a list that I kept updating up until 2019-ish.

I absolutely loved the Quantum of Solace game, i was so hooked on the MP. The golden gun mode was crazy, wish i could play it again.
Murdered soul suspect has one of the best opening cinematics ever and i will die on this hill
The James Bond game was a hidden gem. I had so much fun playing it back in 2013.
