that beautiful flash of time in the 2000's (pun intended) when browser games flourished and proliferated was a true renaissance and doesn't get the coverage it deserves. Thanks for a great video.
It absolutely terrifies me that Cyberpunk will probably go down in history as a forgotten game that will end up in a video like this many years into the future. Yeah, of all the things in this video, that point hit me the most. I still have hope though. I have hope that it won't be forgotten and CDPR will add an official not-jank NG+
I was hoping it would spawn a new eara of clone games I love the cyberpunk aesthetic I'd like to see more like it but with it flopping hard becuase of crunch forcing out an unfinished game everyone saw how unprofitable a cyberpunk game is when all they saw was a good game come out raw
I loved hearing the Cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack songs in the background. Thinking about that game at all makes me want to play it again! It was so widely despised due to its troubles at launch, but now it's basically a fully polished game, and one of my favorites from the past decade.
yeah, no it fucking isn't. AI is still dumber than Bethesda AI (Which is a feat in itself), still no cop chases, NPC's still getting stuck in buildings, etc.
Doom and Quake are still well and alive thanks to very active modding community and modding tools refined over the 2 decades that make creation of new content easy and straightforward. Unreal Tournament had a great modding scene too, but it declined with the death of several community hub websites.
The Cyberpunk soundtrack on the background made me install the game again for another playthrough, so thanks for that lol I've recently found your channel and fell in love with it immediately. Please keep these quality videos coming!
Brutal Legend is a great forgotten game. Open world driving, bad ass heavy metal soundtrack, unique characters with an engaging story and 3rd person RTS hybrid battles. It is one of the best games of the 360/PS3 generation.
I just found you today and I can‘t resist to say how I love your channel and videos. This technical quality as well as the content is insane, I think it‘s a shame how small your channel yet is, but I believe strongly that this will change soon. Have to add, that „Kerry‘s song“ as background music is the best thing that happened to me today, thank you
I remember this one game, it kicked soooo much ass, Undead Knight, where you play a newly resurrected knight and a pair of twins gifted with supernatural powers. You were able to kill and reanimate the enemies in the game to become your own small army of zombies to help with puzzles or to just help overwhelm certain enemies and bosses, it was just so cool! Anyone else remember that or nah?
When talking about RTS games, 40k Dawn of War 1 + 2 deserve a mention too. Outside of Red Alert, they are many people's favourite and most played RTS games of all time.
You deserve to blow up with popularity my friend. watch youll have over 100k subs next time this year. professionally made material here dude. thanks for it.
Another great video man! The feeling of loading into World of Warcraft for the first time or playing Guitar Hero at sleepovers are experiences I don’t think I’ll ever quite have again.
one of the games i loved as a kid and go back to play every few years was Metal Arms Glitch in the System, it was such a good third person shooter that i played so much and always played the multiplayer with friends. still wish it had gotten a sequel
Absolutely amazing video man, from unreal tourney to quake and deus ex and its multiplayer, some of the greatest games of all time just straight being left in the dust in favour of "live service" games, which to be honest don't feel very alive at all; it's quite surreal to see haha All that aside, outstanding video looking back on some of the best games I think to ever be released; even looking at some of the newer releases like cyberpunk 2077, a game I think is great and was given one of the worst delt hands in gaming I think I've ever seen, I think it really deserved more Great video, subscribed for this, keep up the great work ❤
they died because they were weak so that strong games like borderlands and among us could take their place call of duty did more for gaming than thomas edison did for technological innovation
As an everquest veteran I agree that what made it special is long lost in MMOs today. I still however have friends I speak to regularly who I met in everquest. Also the drunk racws through the wood elf starting tree town was hilarious as bodies would rain from the sky as they fell from the bridges.
My dad used to be a huge fan of EverQuest. I remember him playing on 2 computers at the same time so he could fill multiple roles if he didn't have enough people for whatever he was doing. I was young at the time and didn't really understand the game so I never really got to experience it myself. I tried to get into it with my dad a few years back but the game just isn't the same anymore. He's cycled through dozens of MMORPGs since then, always up to date and awaiting new releases but he hasn't been able to capture the same feeling since EverQuest. We had hope for EverQuest Next but that unfortunately ended up getting canceled
My most memorable thing about guitar hero was being out drinking one night, with a mate, and him taking a girl home, I ended up crashing on his couch. I dozed off and then shortly after woke up from some peculiar noises, he hadn't cared that he left his bedroom door open (letting you see into his bedroom from the lounge room). He was going hard on guitar hero and her, simultaneously. I went back to sleep, an hour or so later I was woken up by both of them asking me to join in 😆
You deserve more views and subscribers . Really good content . Keep it up. Loved your cyberpunk video and I totally agree. It’s the most memorable games I’ve ever played. I love it . Shame it didn’t release with the polish and patches it has now . A near perfect game not many people will remember for the right reasons or even play .
As a kid I remember playing flash games like Super Smash Flash and Territory War and I remember spending the last day flash games would be supported playing them
Cyberpunk was actually a return to form by CDPR People forget that Wild Hunt was preceded by the janky, rough gems known as The Witcher and Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings; buggy, unpolished, but ambitious and with enough great stuff to make the headaches worth it…
Flash games are what really made me a gamer. That game where ur a bunny fighting fingers, raze, dragon fable, hundreds more I can visualize and can’t remember the names of
Lovely trip down memory lane! Games evolve and so do we. In the 90's I started working off-shore and had my Sega with me most of the time. Loved the RTS games but a PC was too heavy to carry around the globe. When the first laptops finaly got affordable we finaly could play a bit of DOOM and Duke Nuke'm at sea. These days I do realy enjoy the worlds and stories of Fallout 4, Cyberpunk and Stray to break away of the daily grind that ARK is.
Yes but they were different since fallout nv was made in 15 months so they couldnt have any delays and helped with fact that the original creators of fallout made nv so the story was better than 3 of even 4 lol
Opening with WOTLK, an expansion that as you said absolutely dominated my life and now is 'dead' to me. Not because the game offline but because I am :D Sometimes I wish it never ended, it was a good time.
It seems like the actual death of browser games was missed. It was the rise of mobile stores where people who used to make browser flash games for fun could now make the same games and sell them.
Card Games? Phantom Dust. A card game that is on a 3d arena, like magic but on a Yu-Gi-Oh stage. To be fair it doesn't look like a card game at all, there's another TH-camr that made a video about it. Edit: the game got remastered and is free on Xbox live
I 100% agree with the MMO section. MMOs should force players to have social interactions and shouldn't be solo-able, that's the whole point of them. General content(e.g. levelling) should be difficult in MMOs as to build a connection between the players. I play FF11 which is similar to everquest and still gets updates to this day, I recommend it if anyone wants a more old-school experience with a still thriving playerbase
I miss single playerish games with option to play co-op. We are no longer limited to split-screen and hardware of the time but the co-op almost completely died. So many games are so much better with other people even randoms. One of my best gaming memories was playing Two towers with friends on ps and pc. And playing Mass effect one thinking how that would be so much more amazing if every squad member was controled by another person. I really wished outriders would stick the landing. It gave me mass effect 3 multiplayer vibes on a bigger scale.
How no one ever talks about where Sleeping Dogs got its ideas from?? True Crime LA. Sleeping dogs was actually supposed to be a sequel to that series and all things ppl like about SD came from True Crime. Gritty open world crime thriller with driving, shooting and melee combat, all done in true crime first. Although SD really perfected it, for the time
Nice video. I will say that F-Zero was far from the earliest arcade racer though. Even if you're talking the snes version from 1990 (as opposed to the 2003 version shown in the video) its it's still taking cues from stuff like Outrun or even Rad Racer, Hang-On, or Pole Position.
I agree that Rock Band-style games WILL return, eventually. Although, they might employ actual instruments, like Rock Genius. It’s such a visceral, sociable experience, I doubt it will ever disappear completely.
@@impermanentLucidity that's only true when it's porrly done by people who don't know what they're doing. In many game it sadly is the case. Go play mgs3
I will only mention franchises that had a sequel but became forgotten: WipeOut / Roll Cage / MediEvil / Tomba! / Destroy all humans / Dino crisis / Fear effect / Blinx / Viewtiful Joe / TimeSplitters / Bloody roar / Gex / Croc / Rayman / Crazy taxi / Power stone / Panzer Dragoon / Killer Instinct
Best thing to do if you don't have the game/don't have the cable/own an acoustic... If you want to "play along" to the song in the tab-karaoke format that is Rocksmith... just search for somebody playing the song on TH-cam and play along with it there. I own all of the above and tons upon tons upon tons of user-created custom DLC songs... and I _still_ use TH-cam as it's much quicker and easier.
My short list of forgotten games: Tribes: forgotten aerial shooter Battle For Middle Earth 1/2+RoTWK. Great RTS's. Not available for purchase any more. Great mods. Enclave: action game. Great soundtrack. ^^Armed and Dangerous is similar but more lighthearted if you need a laugh. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Current Personal more mainstream Favorites: STALKER and recent offshoot derivative mods. Atmosphere is perfect. Far Cry 2. Best Far Cry. Everything else is downhill. StarWars Empire at War: mods. AoTR/EAWX Kingdom Come Deliverance: medieval Cyberpunk.
Unlike most of these game lists, I've played almost every single one listed. I agree pretty much with everything you said. People should try a lot of these.
My wife pointed out that another lost genre with some real classics are metroidvania which are now relegated to a few indie developers doing amazing work on games like Hollow Knight
Some games retain their appeal long after time and technology have moved on, the ability to keep people coming back and thinking about a game is what marks it as a masterpiece. I think we have all found ourselves coming back to very old games, even making a notable effort to make them work on systems decades more advanced than the ones they came out on.
There was a Playstation game I absolutely loved and almost no one i talk to has ever even heard of it. Azure dreams was a beautiful(for the time) top down procedurally generated dungeon crawler with a pretty decent story.
i understand where the video author is coming from with Cyberpunk 2077, there was a game franchise that until very recently almost ended up with a similar fate to these games, and that was MechWarrior, even though MechWarrior 5, MechWarrior Online, and BattleTech are a huge success to the series, there was a time before 2015 where there was absolutely no word on any sequel, and due to an absolute bogus lawsuit the series very nearly faded quietly into the night, if the case wasn't thrown out of court then MechWarrior and BattleTech as a whole would have very much remained dead and abandoned
@@FranklyGaming yeah, the last game before MechWarrior 5 was MechWarrior 4 Mercenaries in 2002 and MechAssault for the original Xbox in 2004 i think, the series is especially near and dear to me because my late father got me into the series with MechWarrior 2 in 1996
There´re still rythm games you just don´t need extra equipment for a lot of them anymore, I love Metal Hellsinger an amazingly fun rythm shooter and best about it, even the songs are by famous bands and singers, no metalhead ever heard one of the songs in the game before making it even more intreguing to play.
MMOs... I played Asheron's Call for an unbelievable ammount of hours of my life. And still play it on occasion through thwargle emulator lol 😉 But that game in its heyday, was truly something special. And this was around the same time as UO and EQ, which I also played. But AC, to me, was something special.
There were some very old games that were massively multi-player. Empire and Netrek for example both trace code bases back to the 1960s, had player caps of around 40 or more per map. In fact I'm not sure if Empire even had a player cap, just depended on what the game admin decided. You younguns think you invented computers, but computers have been around a long long time.
As someone who has 600 hours in cyberpunk the background music you used for this video was a *GODDAMN ROLLERCOASTER OF FEELING* good job Frankly.
Glad a lot of people are enjoying it cyberpunk music is 10/10, thanks so much for the support

As a great band said, "Never Fade Away" Cyberpunk has a lot of life in it, and I have faith it will boom
Cyberpunk was built on crunches and lies.
I loved hearing the Cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack songs in the background. Thinking about that game at all makes me want to play it again! It was so widely despised due to its troubles at launch, but now it's basically a fully polished game, and one of my favorites from the past decade.

As a kid I remember playing flash games like Super Smash Flash and Territory War and I remember spending the last day flash games would be supported playing them
Cyberpunk was actually a return to form by CDPR
People forget that Wild Hunt was preceded by the janky, rough gems known as The Witcher and Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings; buggy, unpolished, but ambitious and with enough great stuff to make the headaches worth it…
the kerry boat song from cyberpunk was a nice addition, thought i recognized it
Love using the cyberpunk music so much good stuff, thanks for watching!
can you make a list of what music you used in this game
'Discovery' - Scott Buckley
Cyberpunk 2077 Rouge Love Theme
Cyberpunk 2077 Aldacados Themes

Flash games are what really made me a gamer. That game where ur a bunny fighting fingers, raze, dragon fable, hundreds more I can visualize and can’t remember the names of

Games evolve and so do we. In the 90's I started working off-shore and had my Sega with me most of the time. Loved the RTS games but a PC was too heavy to carry around the globe. When the first laptops finaly got affordable we finaly could play a bit of DOOM and Duke Nuke'm at sea.
These days I do realy enjoy the worlds and stories of Fallout 4, Cyberpunk and Stray to break away of the daily grind that ARK is.
Nebulous fleet command hit a nice balance for rts games.
Cyberpunk 2077 was a good game. Sure, it was buggy as all hell, but you know what else was? Fallout: New Vegas.
I mean so is Skyrim and all 3 vastly differ in quality
My thoughts are similar I think beneath the bugs cyberpunk was an amazing game, thanks for watching!
Oof fair. I love FNV, but playing that on PS3 when it dropped was torture. Still loved it tho.
Yes but they were different since fallout nv was made in 15 months so they couldnt have any delays and helped with fact that the original creators of fallout made nv so the story was better than 3 of even 4 lol

Beat Saber and Synth Riders sit atop Guitar Hero's throne now.
Also, what about stealth-action? Metal Gear is dead, Splinter Cell is dead, Ghost Recon is being destroyed by Ubisoft. There's not much left.
Ya I actually had a whole section for it I stopped though since metal gear had a semi recent popular entry and splinter cell is rumored coming back
Stealth is slow and boring and making a whole game around it is a bad move.

I guess controversial take but I do believe Diablo II was also a crucial to establish MMO's before World of Warcraft.

Ultima Online came out before Diablo 2, Diablo 1 was out for around a year when UO was in development still though
it's controversial because it's not a fucking mmo

Battle For Middle Earth 1/2+RoTWK. Great RTS's. Not available for purchase any more. Great mods.

StarWars Empire at War: mods. AoTR/EAWX
Kingdom Come Deliverance: medieval Cyberpunk.

I played so much far cry 2 on ps3. The custom maps people made were god tier. My friends would hype up cod4 but I kept telling them to try far cry 2.
Can you imagine if games didn't get forgotten? We'd eventually never have new games, because people would be too preoccupied playing older games.
It's insane cyberpunk is $13.99 now sealed with the sleeve and postcards and map and full game manual
Unlike most of these game lists, I've played almost every single one listed. I agree pretty much with everything you said. People should try a lot of these.
Some we can’t anymore, for example Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxy 😔😩

Tbh i only heard about Thief last year when people talked about Square Enix selling 50 IPs. Maybe I'll check out this one
If I had the cash I would absolutely buy an old 360, guitar controller, and Guitar Hero 3 and World Tour
Such a great series for sure

So many great older mmos and stories for sure, thanks so much for supporting my channel!
Man's got up top in my recommended
Glad to see it’s doing well!
I'm still here hoping for a Kingdoms of Amalur sequel
9:16 Is it ironic you forgot to use footage from System Shock?
It's not only games that die, everything dies.
Jak and Daxter was a forgotten gem
Some games retain their appeal long after time and technology have moved on, the ability to keep people coming back and thinking about a game is what marks it as a masterpiece. I think we have all found ourselves coming back to very old games, even making a notable effort to make them work on systems decades more advanced than the ones they came out on.
Whos the character on the thumbnail? Looks like borderlands art style but I don’t remember ever seeing them
It’s an EverQuest character I stylized it to make it look more cartoony in photoshop
@@FranklyGaming ahhh okay, thanks man! Just found your channel, make a lot of good content!
Last time I was this early everquest was just launching
Lol thanks for watching brendan
There was a Playstation game I absolutely loved and almost no one i talk to has ever even heard of it. Azure dreams was a beautiful(for the time) top down procedurally generated dungeon crawler with a pretty decent story.
Haven’t heard of it sounds interesting though
i understand where the video author is coming from with Cyberpunk 2077, there was a game franchise that until very recently almost ended up with a similar fate to these games, and that was MechWarrior, even though MechWarrior 5, MechWarrior Online, and BattleTech are a huge success to the series, there was a time before 2015 where there was absolutely no word on any sequel, and due to an absolute bogus lawsuit the series very nearly faded quietly into the night, if the case wasn't thrown out of court then MechWarrior and BattleTech as a whole would have very much remained dead and abandoned
Interesting haven’t heard about the mech warrior stuff at all, thanks for watching!
@@FranklyGaming yeah, the last game before MechWarrior 5 was MechWarrior 4 Mercenaries in 2002 and MechAssault for the original Xbox in 2004 i think, the series is especially near and dear to me because my late father got me into the series with MechWarrior 2 in 1996
There´re still rythm games you just don´t need extra equipment for a lot of them anymore, I love Metal Hellsinger an amazingly fun rythm shooter and best about it, even the songs are by famous bands and singers, no metalhead ever heard one of the songs in the game before making it even more intreguing to play.
great vid bro i remember all the games 'cough im not that old 🤣
Kingdoms of Amalur was a successful game- the problem was that Curt Schilling mismanaged his company so catastrophically that it didn’t matter.
MMOs... I played Asheron's Call for an unbelievable ammount of hours of my life. And still play it on occasion through thwargle emulator lol 😉
But that game in its heyday, was truly something special. And this was around the same time as UO and EQ, which I also played. But AC, to me, was something special.
My absolute favorite game of all time is an mmo (swtor), i owe so much to this genera and the mmo’s of old.
There were some very old games that were massively multi-player. Empire and Netrek for example both trace code bases back to the 1960s, had player caps of around 40 or more per map. In fact I'm not sure if Empire even had a player cap, just depended on what the game admin decided.
You younguns think you invented computers, but computers have been around a long long time.
I really liked Hyper Scrape a lot when it first came out wish it would have done better.
Liked the clip on guitar hero, definitely one of those that was popular and has completely disappeared
Ya used to play the games all the time now it’s dead sadly, thanks so much for watching!
Quality content, i'll add rise of arpgs's and fallout
thanks a lot for watching!
