that last one is the worst one i think =that a drunk smashed up all that hard work. and destroyed the back ups, i have a younger brother who is a jerk and my parents didn't give him enough punishment when he misbehaved, baby of the family, so he grew up to be a violent jerk and he smashed up some of my stuff in a rage because he wanted all of something we had agreed to split-kick starter d&d style miniatures took over two years and he didn't remember our agreement because he is stupid. So i understand how people who don't have control can just smash up something because its not theirs and they don't care those kinds of people are idiots who lack emotional control.
Knowing the Timesplitters 4 reasoning nearly pissed me off. Why couldn't they just use characters from different time periods to emphasise the time travel aspect?
SonOfDickins I think what the department meant was that they don't have an iconic character in the series that is recognizable so the series basically isn't popular enough.
Was the ex-wife at the very least sued? What she did is also criminal, so I hope she was imprisoned as well. I would hate if the story didn't end in her getting what she deserved.
I had Fez 2 in the back of my mind while watching this list, but I can understand why it's not here since I don't think it was very far in development before the cancellation!
That poor guy had one horrible wife! Honestly though, leaving him was the kindest thing she could've done for him by the sound of it. She is likely some other poor fool's nightmare now.
The number one on this list I would say is a perfectly acceptable lie. Telling the public that it was all nicked from his house during a break in is far nicer than announcing to the world that the developers cheating, psycho, alcoholic wife destroyed it and letting everybody know about his personal life and private family issues.
Because having a character on the cover is the ONLY way to package something. Marketing people are some of the worst people involved in brining a product to market. Almost as bad as accountants.
Remember that one time Konami got into a fight with Silent Hill's creator that ended with the creator fucking off and quitting, and an amazing looking Silent Hill game directed by Guillermo del Toro being cancelled? Cause I do. >:(
You mean to tell me Sergeant Cortez wasn't iconic enough to be on the box cover even though he was on 2 and 3 and he was the protagonist AND the most obvious choice? What the ever loving fuck Crytek?
I'm a programmer at Mojang, and we we're working on Minecraft 2. So I had the beta build with me at home. So my wife Karen and I got into a heated argument and we filled for a divorce. She took custody of my kids. I was mad and got drunk, and when I got home, I smashed the Minecraft 2 build in rage of my divorce. I had to tell Notch that the build went missing, and then they later cancelled Minecraft 2.
No, you could not use an umbrella as a parasol. If the umbrella has no UV-protection layer then the thing only works to block out the heat by a very small margin. You still would have to apply sunscreen if you have to take long walk or are sensitive to strong sunbeams. Most umbrellas have a very thin plastic translucent-like layer and that won't really help if you want to walk "just" in shade (minus the UV-protection).
Fun fact, liquid kids DID make it to us shores albeit in an unofficial cabinet capacity. When I was a kid, a daycare I went to in Texas had a small arcade ( this was one of those flashy expensive places) and one of the cabinets had an English translation of the arcade version in it.
don't you love how she destroyed a potentially extremely profitable asset with malice. She went after every copy specifically because she wanted to destroy it, she didn't just smash his computer because she was angry...and years later she is sorry about it...that's all that happened to her. She allowed herself to feel bad about doing it intentionally. If she had a penis she would still be in jail or paying off the fine.
Crytek? Makers of such dynamic characters as "That guy nobody remembers from Crysis", "That guy nobody remembers from Crysis 2" and "That guy a few people remember from the spin-off of Crysis"? Iconic.

TimeSplitters still hurts. It had so many features that somehow no other shooter copied 20 years later. Even Multi-player with bots has been slowly dying off, dooming an entire half of most games that come out these days once people move on to the next hot thing. I never knew the reason it was canceled, I assumed it was because of Haze bombing, now I'm even more depressed. I know Deep Silver owns the rights now but I don't exactly trust them with the IP either, and I'm not sure if TSRewind will ever come out either now.
Nicolas Recalde ..........developing AAA games is a expensive and risky business. It was a fairly reasonable decision for the most part (to cancel it I mean) As graphics get better, so do development costs. Not all companies can afford the the risk and money sunk in. If pachinkos make them money, then so be it.
They could have, but I think they weren't that bothered as they were winding down C64 development at the time and it was going to be their final release anyway. If it was the Amiga version she destroyed...
He probably did, but it's not like you can just poof the damaged game code back when she destroyed nearly every trace. I just give the publisher props for having thr respect to cover up the programmer's tragedy. I hope he still got paid!
a phrase my son used from Time Splitters while playing lego figures. "I'm about to unleash the asskickulator!" letting him go through the character select himself was a good idea.

@@Gilhelmi Yes, but a level of natural stoicism also plays a role here, goddamn, man are less likely to report any kind of crime committed against them. To some extent, men as a group are a bit more stoic and this affects this kind of stuff. But, to a large degree, yes, it's social pressures.
@@lloydgush yeah, it's just I study history. Victorian era men were allowed more emotions, and they did not report crimes because if someone attacked them, they could defend themselves. Somedays, I wonder if I was born in the wrong era.
@@Gilhelmi "They could defend themselves" that can be argued, they could defend themselves way worst than one can today. Also, it's really debatable if they could show more emotions, specially when compared to today. And this idea that men can only socially show anger and horniness is ridiculous and comes from hybristophilic andro-attracted women and men. Victorian men were pretty much expected to show no emotion, but so were women, things besides awe, intelectual curiosity, piety and similar emotions were "uncool" back on those blasé times. Now days it's pretty much only humor/joy and pity which are allowed on social settings for men today and for quite a long while, and only in moderation. So much that those emotions are the refuge of low status men, IE, fat and ugly men, who are still within social bounds. People outside of social bounds express what ever they want, which usually is anger and sadness for obvious reasons.

Timesplitters is getting a remake by Timesplitters fans and it's titled Timesplitters Rewind :3 LOL Timesplitters Future Perfect is my most favourite cause of creepier maps XD
"She deeply regretted her actions years later." Why the hell wasn't she sued?
+qassault Crimes like that prescribe and DV victims tend not to report their loved ones, specially in the 80's.
@@lloydgush especially if the victims are men. Because of the backwards idea that "men can't be abused" and are ridiculed for coming forward.
@@Gilhelmi Yes, but a level of natural stoicism also plays a role here, goddamn, man are less likely to report any kind of crime committed against them.
To some extent, men as a group are a bit more stoic and this affects this kind of stuff.
But, to a large degree, yes, it's social pressures.
@@lloydgush yeah, it's just I study history. Victorian era men were allowed more emotions, and they did not report crimes because if someone attacked them, they could defend themselves.
Somedays, I wonder if I was born in the wrong era.
@@Gilhelmi "They could defend themselves" that can be argued, they could defend themselves way worst than one can today.
Also, it's really debatable if they could show more emotions, specially when compared to today.
And this idea that men can only socially show anger and horniness is ridiculous and comes from hybristophilic andro-attracted women and men.
Victorian men were pretty much expected to show no emotion, but so were women, things besides awe, intelectual curiosity, piety and similar emotions were "uncool" back on those blasé times.
Now days it's pretty much only humor/joy and pity which are allowed on social settings for men today and for quite a long while, and only in moderation.
So much that those emotions are the refuge of low status men, IE, fat and ugly men, who are still within social bounds.
People outside of social bounds express what ever they want, which usually is anger and sadness for obvious reasons.
We’re finally getting Streets of Rage 4 after all these years. I’m looking forward to it!
Why 4? Because the 5th was cancelled.
Ayy
Thank you so much for supporting the TimeSplitters series. It's unknown to many in America actually... I hope you will or already have supported the fully authorized and supplied fan game, TimeSplitters Rewind, by the fan developer, Pantheonyx, if and when the game releases.
Funny how there's actually a Streets of Rage 4 now.
I was just about to say this 😂
I like how you say ''hello you''! :)
You can't forget the legendary "We gotta cancel Megaman Legends 3 because no one is showing interest". Then what did fans immediately do? START MAKING THEIR OWN BECAUSE THEY WANTED IT SO MUCH.
Hey, Crapcom, sorry we didn't play that demo you never released.
to be fair, most Classic fans hate Legends (just look at the AVGN vid)
Timesplitters 4 is supposedly being worked on now.
You literally never get to actually SEE an invisible tank running by you.
I'm surprised that you didn't mention Fez 2, which was cancelled because the developer was arguing with trolls on Twitter.
+Necro Critic That'd probably be lower on the list.
+Necro Critic Exactly what i was thinking of, would be a nice no 5 for his list.
Timesplitters, Perfect Dark and Goldeneye were amazing.
yeah, time was not too kind to them.
The Timesplitters one is horrible. Yeah everyone remembers their cover heroes....😐
God I loved time splitters 2. I remember taking hours to make a big map for my friend and I to play the zombie mode on.
i find myself dancing to the transition music in Larry's videos every time it plays
lol, thank you!!!
the moment TimeSplitters 4 showed, I was already screaming, crying and just plain shocked, all internally...
Mindy Auron agreed.
"Look at this, what game doesn't let you see a invisble jeep flying past ya! Look at that lovely!"
THQ recently bought the rights to timesplitters so fingers crossed they do something good with it please dont ruin it
Didn't THQ go bankrupt years ago?
@@lonegalaxy9158 they did, but were bought by Nordic Games in 2014 and renamed THQ Nordic in 2016. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THQ_Nordic
Ocean did good by that programmer with the drunk wife. Respect bros.
I laughed my ass off when I heard, "Shotgun-toting Monkey".
"he threw half the bloody bathroom out with it too"
The other half and I nearly died laughing at this XD
