10 Video Games That Were Outdated Before They Launched

10. Radical Heights

One of the most rushed developments in arguably gaming history, Radical Heights was the last-ditch effort at staying afloat from ex-Gears of War creator Cliff Blezsinkski, in 2018.

Coming after Lawbreakers spectacularly missed the mark thanks to being in the shadow of Overwatch (something that's happened to many titles), Cliffy and his team pivoted into the Hail Mary that was an 80s themed battle royale.

Because what else were you going to do in 2018?

Now, this was before the overall push towards 80s ephemera that we're currently in the middle of, but a baseline battle royale? Radical Heights was following Fortnite and PUBG at the height of their initial popularity.

The game didn't stand a chance, and Cliffy would announce his "retirement" from game design for the foreseeable future.
