Games that were awesome but didn't sell well enough

Games that were awesome but didn't sell well enough for the developers/publishers to continue the franchise......

MDK. They tried. MDK 2 was a really good game with a difficult learning curve. It never sold well enough for them to keep making the MDK games. I think if they adjusted the difficulty a little bit, it couldve had more mainstream success. I wonder what the developers of this game are doing these days? MDK couldve been a serious killer app with some minor tweaks to the gameplay and a powerhouse behind the advertising.

Jak and Daxter. One of my favorite games on PS2. Seemed like the sales declined with every installment. Still sold well over 1Million+ but compared to other Ps2 games I guess that wasn't enough for them to continue on. One of those franchises where Naughty Dog never seemed to know what direction they were going with J&D. 1st one was a classic platformer, 2nd one was more of a shooter, 3rd one was more of a open world-sandbox GTA type.

Possibly...Shadow of Collosus. Critically acclaimed game that didnt sell up to it's rating. I know Team ICO is developing something new that will probably be announced at E3. If it's not SoC2 then I have little hope they will continue the franchise.

Psychonauts.

Beyond Good and Evil.

Act of War : Direct Action

that game was an awesome RTS game it got 8.5 on gamespot how about

but it did have an expansion but both didnt sell well to justify the costs and a sequel

I forgot --- JET SET RADIO.

I loved this franchise! The sequel didnt do so well on Xbox. I wish they would make a new one. It would probably sell like crazy on Wii.

In the past year; Valkyria Chronicles, TWEWY and Chinatown Wars stand out as awesome games with sales that I would have liked to have been better.

That's like 90% of all the GOOD games that come out.

[QUOTE="bingbaocao"] if they sold enough to warrant a sequel they didn't they... sell well enough?killab2oo5

Zack and Wiki, Deadly Creatures, Moon, Okami.

As for people saying Madworld...it's only been a month. Every third party wii game to sell a million sold less than MW did in their first month. MW is set to sell over a million.

Unreal Tournament 3 comes to mind, was a fun game but didn't sell well and not a lot of people continue to play it a lot atm, which is sad because I loved the game series so much was always fast paced fun and in 2004 when Vehicles came that just was insane!! As well as to mention Saints Row 2, seemed to be overshadowed by GTA4 but SR2 I found to be much better and a lot more fun!Solid_Max13
