For me:
Silent hills- This one still hurts. I never understood why Konami wanted to erase all existence of this game. I understand that developer drama can happen and games get canceled, but considering how popular the demo was you'd think Konami could just charge 5 bucks for people to download it and make a nice bundle of cash on a literal teaser for an unfinished product. I usually have a cynical "oh publishers are greedy and only care about money" attitude but this decision still baffles me. Unless there was some legal reason they couldn't continue to have the demo on the PS Store? It still is disappointing that they didn't even try to save that game at all. If it were EA or Ubisoft you know they never would have let such a potential cash cow slip away from them.

Prey 2- The cyberpunk setting and the 1v1 fps bounty hunter gameplay loop just looked fantastic. I saw myself having a ton of fun with that game as I'm such a sucker for cyberpunk/tech noir. When it got cancelled I was pretty bummed.

Sonic Xtreme. The series could have been wildly different today if the game had been released on time.

Sucks, too; Chris Senn and his team put ass loads of work into the game, but, thanks to the cancelation of it, much of it goes unused to this day.

    When I worked for Dell we had access to data about military contracts and addresses for high ranking people.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless

    the booty boogie from (once again) the donkey kong country cartoon could also be a good song to sing while playing sea of thieves
