10 PlayStation Games Sony KILLED

Pushing the technological boundaries with its flawless car renders, Evolutions Studios' Driveclub looked like it was set to be something truly special. Considering each car was composed of 260,000 polygons and took seven months to develop, it probably would've easier if the developers manufactured actual automobiles.

Thanks to all the buzz, the racing simulator was among the best-selling games on the PS4, shipping two million units.

However, Driveclub was met with heavy criticism, due to its poor online capabilities, inconsistent AI, and lacklustre gameplay. The creators tried to make up for it, with a bunch of patches. Not only that, they threw in additional features at no extra charge, including an innovative weather system that factors in cloud formations and movements of trees and grass.

Unfortunately, the bumpy start cost Driveclub dearly, since it didn't bring in enough cash to turn much of a profit. When Evolution Studios shut down in 2016, the updates came to a grinding halt, signalling the beginning of the end. 

Sure enough, the online servers for Driveclub, Driveclub VR, and Driverclub Bikes were switched off soon after. Although the single-player functioned fine, it wasn't the same and the future of this burgeoning series was snuffed out.
