7 Worst Launch Titles of All Time That Are Best Left Forgotten

Xbox One Series X and PS5 might be on the horizon, but there's not much announced yet in the way of launch games for this next generation of consoles. Still, things could be worse: take these seven vintage launch titles that ideally would, rather than being launched alongside new games machine, instead be launched into the sun, so we never had to play or think about them ever again.

[@SephirothRyu]

You know, a Tony Hawk downhill racer could be very good though. It just needs some tweaks. First: The courses are not linear race tracks, but multipath downhill courses more akin to a ski mountain in terms of branching and intersecting with each other. Second: There are a few different modes: 1. Pure speed: Its all about getting to the bottom fastest. The courses would be designed such that a number of the fastest paths do require using grinds and such and jumping through certain openings, etc. And there would be multiple such paths per downhill map. 2. Score Race: You get points for doing tricks, AND for the remaining time you have when you get down. Which means you may want to go for a longer route down, perhaps following a side road between branches to grab some tricks on the way to another route's "fast trick-spamming grind" part to try and get the best of both a fast way down while also basically not progressing so as to use built up speed to perform various actions on a horizontal side road. 3. Classic + Battle: There would also be a handful of "flat" maps that let you do the exploration stuff. In addition, there would be a completely ludicrous "battle" mode for these maps where you can pick up cartoony weapons to shoot at each other, just for the hell of it. You'd get points for tricks, AND for hitting someone who is doing an unfinished trick/grind/etc at the time you hit them. You can set a max number of hits you can take, or just set it to infinite and set a time limit. You can, of course, just have a multiplayer score attack without the cartoony weapons too. 4. Now that I think of it, lets add a third race mode too, which has the cartoony weapons and boost pads and other nonsense included. And while we are at the nonsense, lets make one of the downhill racing tracks basically a track where all kinds of stuff is just floating in air as if there is no gravity (except of course, it still affects the skaters).

Including it with Xbox One means they didn't learn anything from 360. Please tell me the new Xbox does NOT have Kinect too. If it does, I might just stay with Switch, PS5, and my computer.

[@christopherbrau5229]

@@LadyOnikara the opposite, the new xbone doesn't support the kinect at all. The move to include kinect 2 as part of the original xbone was in understanding the Wii's success because a developer could be assured that every Wii console had the motion controllers vs. a small subset to help ensure AAA titles using thier tech. The problem is that only certain control actions translate well on the kinect, and rather than focusing on those it was used in ways that made it extremely clunky. Utilities like Skype worked really well, rhythm and slower sequential actions/reactions worked well. But the notable lag ensured discrete fast reactions would be painful. Which is required by most titles. So they implemented a control aspect that was never going to work well for most games and freaked out some people who felt they would be spied on... presumably many of those same people own smart phones...and also frequently post everything they are doing on social media... People are quirky

You know, I played Red Steel 2, the launch title for Wii Motion+. Some of the controls were still a bit clunky, but you could switch between sword and gun at will, and the story wasn't bad. Also, the controls were only really ever any bad if you were trying to use your special sword abilities, such as the "dragon", which was pretty much an air cannon, "eagle", which launched enemies into the air(and supposedly let you follow them for aerial combat, though I never could), or "bear", where you punched the ground to cause a small earthquake, and was pretty much the only way to beat the Katakara heavy gunners, who had miniguns with small blast shields, so you had to somehow get behind them, primarily by making them lose their balance with the Bear, and just running around them while they struggled to pick their gun back up. The other two abilities were the "Cobra", which was essentially a mark-and-execute with your gun, and the "Tiger", which let you do a really good block. The normal sword block just blocked bullets. The Tiger deflected them back at the shooter, or if it was a melee fighter, staggered them, which let you do an instant finisher. The Cobra and Tiger, however, were reliably usuable.

[@cthulhufhtagn2483]

Well, how else was Christian Slater going to eat that day? He wasn't doing anything else at the time, was he? Oh, wait, he's still not...

[@willtollefson4746]

How dare you diss Tony Hawk, 8 year old me had a fricken blast!

[@meistermanni6215]

What is the KZbin algorithm trying to tell me now that Cyberpunk is released ?🤔

[@spikedkitten1109]

Do most unsatisfying villain deaths (Include the wolf from mw 2019) and most 4th wall breaking games (Include deadpool and sunset overdrive)

[@zombiepete]

I suspect Andy, with his encyclopedic knowledge of strange and obscure fighting games, knows *exactly* what a Battle Arena Toshinden is.

[@HollowMux]

Dropping off from Luke's stream ✌️

[@gruggerduggerhoose]

In these troubling times, that darth vader joke at 15:42 reminded me of his most famous quote. “I find your lack of TP disturbing.” Darth, a long time ago. Probably

[@narcspector]

"scrutinizing your family's bones" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 I'm fuckin dead

[@amwoodco3049]

Ooh! I had an idea for a list. Most amusing/ridiculous incantations for spells/powers. My vote is for Rita Mordio from Tales of Vesperia. When you cast her strongest spell, she has a long, very anime style incantation. However, when in Limit Break mode, it shortens to "Blah blah blah. Tidal Wave!" followedby a massive whirlpool. I'm sure there's more, but I'm not your List McGuffin, just a fan with a suggestion. Besides, others likely have their favourites.

[@bretth342]

This is the first time anyone has ever said "enjoyable film going experience" while Catwoman was on screen

[@bluegum6438]

That movie's executive producer was cocaine.

[@garridanbrewer8486]

Red steel is one of my favorite games ever, like hands down best game on wii

[@beleagueredbeluga5228]

Hey, its pretty cool that these dudes are still going. I remember I used to watch their videos on the 360's dashboard. Neat.

[@plume...]

I have 5 days off work and apart from Animal Crossing, have nothing of worth to wake up for, hence I am currently drinking copious amounts of wine without a care for the inevitable hangover. Saying that, I have immediately set my alarm for 8am exclusively to wake up and download an ISO for Kileak...

[@patrickmccurry1563]

"...enjoyable cinema experience," while showing a bit from Halle Berry's Catwoman. Oooookay. lol

[@bennykill709]

"What will be the worst launch title of the upcoming console generation?" The only launch titles I even know about are Halo, Gears, and The Last of Us. All of those are already established and massively popular franchises, and 2 of them are essentially ports from the previous gen. I don't know if all launch titles have been announced yet, but I would love to see a list as you guys are wont to do.

[@plazinga]

Is gears already out, and last of us 2 is supposed to be PS4 but it has been delayed again so you never know

[@lwoonlef7]

Mike McSkin should be a character on D&D adventure.

[@restcure]

Might just buy one of those Kinects - I've often suspected my blood of criminal acts; finally, I can have something to keep watch on it!

[@emrfish6]

11:27 it almost looks like they modeled that after a freaking Hi-Point.

[@Kaarl_Mills]

"Trevor Mc Fur" *Notices ur launch title OwO*

[@katieleffel7095]

love that "science rocks" t-shirt friend looking very uncomfortable in the background of that fighting game commercial. why is he even in the shot laksjf

[@kristeenlivesay2664]

Metal of honor and metal of honor rising sun, were some of the first shooters I ever played, it was a lot of fun to play with my cousin.

[@XxBrad13xX]

"Have you ever tried being sad on a skateboard? It's almost impossible." The teenage version of me and my emo skater friends would disagree.

[@arduousJester]

"Which we don't, because it sUuUcked"

[@joenesvick7043]

Xbox Kinect seems a lot like Nintendo Wii, if I wanted to movie around I'd just go outside. I suppose they now seem like a great way to exercise with the quarantine if you don't have a workout bike

[@bdo7765]

"Not even an optional CD-ROM drive that made the console look like Darth Vader's toilet could save it." Oh, ouch, laughed too hard... (my kidney!)

[@MrFutago87]

2:55 Sadly the movie-tie-in days are not over, though luckily they moved to the mobile market now so we can all avoid it like we would anyway considering they're mobile games.

[@KiomonDuck]

I think the best movie the in is Spider-Man on ps4.

[@MrFutago87]

@@KiomonDuck That's not a movie tie in game.

[@KiomonDuck]

@@MrFutago87 all the spider suits from the mcu are in it as well as the suit from the first spiderman movie. And you also get the spiderverse suit. It's close enouph for me.

[@otaking3582]

Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game isn't that bad! (especially compared to the original arcade version). And the movie it's based on was pretty good, too!

[@marhawkman303]

Andy likes it!

[@rockr341]

That Killeak game is nightmare fuel.

[@jackcombs8273]

I'm so glad somebody finally remembered Red Steel. I found it at a Game Stop when I was younger and thought it was one of the coolest games ever because it let you use both a sword and a gun. I kept it all these years and I even brought it with me when I moved out of my parents last year because it was one of my favorite finds. I'm going to set up my Wii just to play it again and see how bad it really is without the rose colored glasses.

[@dillonflickinger1094]

Awh, I loved Red Steel! 😂 I was also 10 tho so....

[@supershinigami1]

Just because you were bad at Downhill Jam doesn't mean it's bad.

[@possiblestranger]

I just realised I played Tony Hawk Downhill Jam when I was younger... freaky

[@adampeterfong]

Thanks for reminding me of all these games best left forgotten. I'll be sure to forget them soon.

[@GameboiN64]

Downhill Jam for the Wii was a nostalgia-favorite of mine. It was much more fun when me and my brother and 2 step brothers were just crashing into everything. We we’re pretty young at the time.

[@JessieShadowhold]

Considering you made me remeber it a few weeks ago, I'm suprised you didn't put Fusion Frenzy on the list. It was sort of like if someone made a gritty reboot of Mario Party without including any Nintendo IP's.

[@GiraffreyG]

I am so sorry you guys had to play these for footage, but I do admire your bravery and commitment.

[@lfskyden]

For the ones that dont know, Battle Arena Toshiden, was pretty much the prototype of the Soul Edge/Calibur Series(in some ways, it got all the Don'ts you should Avoid, and got a Few things right)

[@SgtCookie111]

Weirdly, the Shrek game is actually has a pretty entertaining speedrun.

[@LainKaplan]

I can't say I used terminal 4 at LAX two weeks ago, I used terminal 3, but wow, that place was a dump. Thank you for getting a dig in at such an ugly, inefficient airport.

[@omega5040]

Red Steel came out with the wii motion plus which made the controls more responsive, it was fun to play if you actually got the extension.

[@jdblick1002]

Battle Arena Toshinden! That, and Wipeout were the bundled games in my launch day PS1. Never played Red Steel (or had a Wii) but I remember my mate excitedly showing it off to me, I was always under the impression it was highly acclaimed. Or did it have a sequel I am mixing it up with? I wonder if we get a Knack 3;)

[@theunwelcome]

that "scientist" pitchman for Fighter Within looks like he was inspired by Jim Carrey's character in the first half of Batman Forever...

[@MarilynMonRover]

I love, love, LOVE Jane's segment about Red Steel.

[@d4rkpr1nc39]

The Wii Tony Hawk was my first tony hawk...I feel actually sad for remembering that. It was one of my first games to play heh.

[@johnfletemeyer8706]

I wanted to see Mike and Andy accidentally hit each other with roundhouse kicks while playing fighter within. 😂
