#4 Shenmue
It’s a bit weird putting Shenmue on this list since the series is actually continuing on thanks to devoted fans and Kickstarter. This is the game that was set to be a grand journey with amazing visuals, enthralling gameplay, compelling musical scores, and was supposed to span across a number of video games. However, after the release of Shenmue II, SEGA officially cancelled development of further titles, but again, Shenmue III was successfully crowd funding campaign. Development for Shenmue took $70,000,000 and was well received. Because the lack of installed Dreamcast consoles, the game was unable to make a profit. We wonder what the series might look like today if SEGA released it on the PS2 or Xbox instead.
