Wow, I can’t believe Dark Void didn’t just fly off the shelves.
Capcom was probably the worst offender, but Hudson made Bomberman dark, gritty and shitty with Act Zero and Namco made Ace Combat: Assault Horizon with QTEs and a NATO bootlicking plot, and gave Ridge Racer to FlatOut developers Bugbear to turn into a Burnout ripoff with Unbounded. Many such cases!
Assault Horizon actually was multi platform so I give it a pass because it was my first. But yeah bringing AC to IRL was a miserable idea that should never be tried again unless I get to play as S-500 operator who gets conscripted into flying a SU-75 after a
BelkanAmerican proxy bio-weapon targets all the pilots. Level 1 is actually just operating a fancy as fuck “shoots down Americans” machine.
