The Most Anticipated Yet Disappointing (Promised) PS2 Launch Title | Forgotten Games

Описание: Developed by Dream Factory and published by Squaresoft , The Bouncer was one of the most hyped up Playstation 2 launch games showcased during Tokyo Game Show and E3 in 1999, due to its, at the time, impressive graphics and physics interactions displayed on its non-playable demos.
Yet, when Sony's console was released the game was nowhere to be found and, after many delays, it was released almost two years late, was poorly received and completely flopped, with Square Enix never re-releasing the game on any platforms after that. So, what happened? In this video, we take a look at The Bouncer and why it was forgotten.

Forgotten games is the series where I cover old games that have been long gone for one reason or another. Games that flopped, games that failed to meet expectations, abandoned or cancelled games and series, classic games that disappeared with little to no explanation, obscure games that might end being underrated games that you should try, games lost in time, hidden gems and so on. The series objective is not so much to perform a game review, but to revisit these retro games and find out the reasons as to why they were forgotten.
