'Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5' released on this day in 2015. Rushed to pass in order to capitalize on Activision's soon-to-expire Tony Hawk license, THPS5 debuted to scathing critical and consumer reception. The final title developed by studio Robomodo, before their closure in 2016.

Just a heads up that I'll be showing up to this year's PRGE (Portland Retro Gaming Expo) on Sunday, October 11th. If you know me, you'll recognize me immediately. Feel free to say hi: I'll be downright flattered. Maybe even find it in your heart to buy a beer for poor ol' me? www.retrogamingexpo.com

'Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood' released on this day in 2008. BioWare's attempt to bring Sonic and friends into the RPG fold on the Nintendo DS. Criticized on release for simplistic gameplay, poorly-paced story, and a soundtrack straight-up broken in its implementation.

'Day One: Garry's Incident' released on this day in 2013. An underwhelming first-person survival title, made particularly infamous due to the creators' attempts to silence criticism using copyright claims and Metacritic astroturfing. Ultimately delisted entirely from Steam.

'Girl Fight' released on this day in 2013. A mediocre 3D fighter downloadable by way of PSN / XBLA. Attempts to traffic in the same sort of sex appeal as a 'Dead or Alive,' but ultimately falls flat in terms of mechanics and production value.

'Contra: Rogue Corps' released on this day in 2019. Developed by Toylogic as a dual-stick-style entry in the Contra franchise, with contributions by legendary comics writer Evan Dorkin. The end result is a quickly-repetitious grindfest with an entirely ignorable story.

'Ghostbusters' on NES released on this day in 1986. A conversion of Activision's 1984 computer title to console; infamous for its repetitive music, grindy gameplay, and a particularly wonky translation of the game's ending text. Conglaturation!!!

'Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma' released on this day in 2015. Intended to be the first volume in a three-part sequel series to 2009's Afro Samurai tie-in game. However, consumer and critical reaction was so poor, that all plans were scrapped / the game was pulled from sale.

'Takedown: Red Sabre' released on this day in 2013. A disastrous attempt to revive the tactical shooter genre by way of a successful Kickstarter campaign. Released in what was perceived to be an unfinished state, with balance that seems to actively punish playing methodically.

'Sniper: Path of Vengeance' released on this day in 2002. One of the jankiest shooters ever commercially released, with some of the best bad dialogue this side of a PS1 horror game. Spotlighted as part of GameSpot's unofficial "Don't Play This Game" series.

'Castlevania: Order of Shadows' released on this day in 2007. A J2ME title starring a forgotten Belmont by the name of Desmond. Cramped cellphone control schemes, gaudy graphics, and particularly sluggish attacks all contribute to a lesser entry in Castlevania's handheld line.

'Prince of Persia 3D' released on this day in 1999. The last in the original Prince of Persia trilogy, as overseen by a disgruntled Jordan Mechner -- who saw the final product as being little more than a sub-par Tomb Raider clone. Critics honed in on bugs and clumsy controls.

'WET' released on this day in 2009. Rubi Malone and her akimbo revolvers go on a psychobilly freakout for the ages, featuring a kickass soundtrack and bullet ballet. A repetitive gameplay loop is the most commonly-cited criticism of this grindhouse third-person shooter.

'MTV Sports: Skateboarding Featuring Andy Macdonald' released on this day in 2000. THQ's attempt to cash in on the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater trend. Nearly unplayable due to some of the stiffest controls seen in the genre, on top of absolutely broken collision detection. Gnarly.

As early as 2006 with the first announcement of Marmoset, you can already see screenshots showcasing period weapons in a first-person perspective -- likely early concept work on DoD. They mention "large-scale team combat," but that can apply to an FPS as well. web.archive.org/web/20060517...

Do you have a source that goes into detail about this phase of development? From the research I've done (including reading the game's post-mortem, and checking Wayback Machine archives of the original "Marmoset Engine" webpage), I didn't stumble on anything that indicated an original RTS direction.

'Darkest of Days' released on this day in 2009. A time-traveling FPS which drops you into historical conflicts with futuristic weapons at your disposal. This novel concept - implemented in impressively large-scale battles - is hampered by myriad technical issues and poor pacing.

'Bad Day L.A.' released on this day in 2006. Legendary game designer American McGee's attempt to comment on the fears and paranoia of post-9/11 America. The end result is a clunky third-person shooter that's more interested in edgy humor than in delivering focused gameplay.
