10 Video Games With MASSIVE Potential (That Still Failed)

3. Project Spark

If you missed the boat on Project Spark, it’s essentially Microsoft’s version of Dreams, before Sony made Dreams.

The game creation title was announced in 2013 and released in 2014 and it was pretty darn exciting at the time. It offered players a digital canvas to make games, download user-generated content, and utilise the Kinect to animate models and record audio. Essentially, it was a playground for game creatives and a community was formed around the creation possibilities.

The game even has Conker in a new episodic campaign called Conker’s Big Reunion and though the first episode came out in 2015, the remaining ones were canned as the game dwindled to a close. Support for ongoing content releases ceased across the board and the servers were shut down just one year later in 2016.

This was a huge blow to fans of the game, but a not entirely unsurprising one as it had performance issues and it became clear Microsoft no longer wanted to support it.
