I seriously wanna know how Jerma finds all these games.
What's sad is this isn't some obscure Steam Greenlight indie game. This was a legit 7th generation console game made by [I]Ubisoft[/I], and it had an E3 appearance and everything.

Oh god, I remember all the hype when the trailer for this came out. What a shit game.
This game felt like it started off as a neat proof of concept demo, they decided to make it a full game and got way too deep in before realizing they had no ideas other than the baseline "enemies don't know if your gun has bullets" mechanic. Every mission/level/whatever feels like a tech demo with swapped assets. I couldn't even finish it because I was so bored after just a few levels.
Whatever you do don't check the wikipedia page for this trainwreck. Its like the second coming of duke nukem forever.
Man that color correction is horrible. But I'd bet the game could look quite good with a good Reshade/SweetFx preset. I feel like buying the game just to try it out.

I didn't even know it ended up coming out, never heard anything about it again (until now.)
How did they turn some of the coolest concept art into one of the ugliest, broken games around!

Development hell. This was announced a year after Bioshock and every source I've found is that it kept getting handed off to team after team till it was finally released in that state.
Oh man, I remember this game. It's such a shame it turned out so shit. The initial concept and characters were really promising.
oh man i forgot about this game. i played the first like, 3 levels i think? and then just never played it again. totally forgettable. i didnt realize it got this bad. i feel like i dodged a bullet

To be fair, the game that had an E3 appearance was basically an entirely different thing on a much larger scope and a much bigger budget. Not to mention that it launched as a downloadable $15 game, which kinda severely lowers the expectations.
I was hyped as fuck for this game when I first heard about it but after learning it went from a full budget game to a small downloadable title I lost all interest. Though tbh I'm not really sure it would have been much better even if it had stayed a full "AAA" game.
Yeah, the problem is that the original devs basically decided partway through that they no longer wanted to work on it and just gave up control to Ubisoft, so they had to shift it to another studio to make something releasable out of it. I remember being disappointed, but other than that it was just forgettable, not exceptionally bad or anything.
