Late 90's ealry 2000 3d games

Rayman 2 is an amazing fucking game. My nigger.

I liked this RTS game a lot back in the day. It wasn't extremely micromanagement-demanding like Warcraft 3, and the squad-builder feature was pretty neat.

I remember there was a big controversy surrounding this game's release. Apparently the publisher, CDV, released a beta build of the game that the developers had given to them for testing purposes. CDV wanted the game released before the quarter was over, whereas the developers requested more time for polish. The result was that the game reviewed poorly, with bugs commonly sited as the main issue.

I'm not sure if the full story of what happened with Breed ever came to light. Wiki says that the Xplosiv re-release corrected a lot of the bugs. It also claims that CDV themselves assigned developers to clean the game up for a release. Too bad game 'journalists' are more obsessed with regurgitating a PR sheet rather than investigative reporting.

Not quite obscure but still fits this thread.

You might want to take a look at Darkened Skye.

it's really something how bad this engine feels and how awful it looks for its release period.

RIP in piss, old friend. Best times of my FPS life.

Because it's shit in execution. You can die from running down a hill from the fall damage.
