You can definitely tell Prototype 2 came from Spider Man 4

Totally! I remember specifically saying that it reminded me of the old spiderman movie games to one of my friends at the time and he had no idea. Glad I'm not the only one that remembers that. The first spiderman on the pc was janky af lol

Out of context this comment is hilarious, especially since it was the first comment that came up.

[@ewlynnn]

Idc what anyone says Rocket Sloth is easily a top tier channel. So many high quality long form videos on just random games. The perfect games to either throw on and fall asleep to or just throw on while doing something else, like runescape.

[@retaxed-]

this video made me emotional, i have no clue why. games you weren’t able to play, yet have so much feeling to them.

[@akumapup]

I always wanted that halo ds game. I wished the prototype had been leaked to the public but understandable why it wasnt. But still always can hope.

[@DuckRotation]

just play rogue agent on DS and squint your eyes

[@Splozy]

I was under the impression it was leaked? I've seen footage of someone playing multiplayer on KZbin. It may have been a recreation

[@Vinny2142]

Even though they usually say "well why would you want to play the alpha/beta or cut content of a game?!" - if DNF or HL/HL2 taught me anything, I absolutely love stuff like this. Thanks for the expansive list pals!

I should let you know that a pretty much full build of early timeshift for the 360 (Just as Sierra got ahold of it and before the development restart) was discovered and dumped onto internet archive. it works perfectly in the Xenia emulator and it has a lot more content in it then the nearly complete PC atari press build that was also dumped onto the internet a few years ago.

[@Detective_L]

I wish we got to play the Star Wars Rouge Squadron remastered trilogy on the Wii. Apparently the game was complete and ready to be shipped but was cancelled last minute.

[@rawr51919]

so was star fox 2 it ended up the same way on this list just officially released instead nearly 25 years later

Actually false about there not being a physical copy of Cs go for Xbox. I literally own a physical disc version

[@patrickhaberlag6651]

17:32 That logo is a logo of the swedish developer PDS and has nothing to do with Thrill Kill

Just pure speculation, but my guess was maybe a copyright issue?

One to note is Star Wars 1313, it was probably better than Outlaws at the very least

[@Evokai6419]

Possibly? I'd like to think it was but for all we know it could have gotten grabbed by a different studio during the move and been not great, the original concept only has a trailer and some small gameplay moments I think to show things?

If u watch the gameplay of spiderman 4...the zipping toward the enemy and the ground craters are in prototype. They must have taken everything from spiderman 4 and threw it into prototype

Didnt see anyone else saying it so i gotta point out that CoD 3 (2006) was also a treyarch game. I only know this because it was my fav growing up so im sure after WaW came out they would have been far more dedicated to the series

[@bobdylan1968]

I adore both star fox adventures and assault. Assault is the best starfox game ever made imo. And i did grow up with the originals. I remember reviewers being very upset about the humor of duke forever and that being a big part of the low scores.

[@RocketSloth]

Assault low key slapped

[@bobdylan1968]

@RocketSloth used to play custom games marathons of assault. A lot of free for all lives based snipers. You had a good amount of customization options for settings in that game, kinda like an early halo game. One of my most vivid childhood memories was my birthday party where I just had a big sleepover with the boys. Those old tube big screen TVs with the massive speaker base and starfox assault on GameCube, each of us sleeping for a few minutes at a time when we'd switch controllers for people.
