It seem that one of EA's former concept artists has posted up a ton of concept art from never officially announced games.

That might mean that they've all been canceled though, outside of Syndicate, as that concept art dates back before Starbreeze started making it I think.

There are more through the link, but a lot of the unposted ones are Harry Potter.

Gun Head:

Hurikan:

Unsure 1:

Oliver Twist:

Oliver Twist, eh?

I wonder what other literary classics EA has considered turning into games...

Azure Dream · Feb 5, 2010

Gun Head needs to be made. :lol

The support units for Hurikan remind me of an anime I read about once, Roujin Z.

threenote · Feb 5, 2010

All of those look awesome--especially Oliver Twist.

Callibretto · Feb 5, 2010

sigh... now I'm depressed that Dante's Inferno got the greenlight while some of these cool concept art got canned.

GunHead looks cool. maybe need a different name, but I like the art.

It looks like that post-apocalyptic adaptation that Gary Whitta was working on, if I recall rightly. I heard it was moving forward as a comic I think, maybe a game adaptation too?

Holy shit @ Gun Head
:lol

God damn at that faux-Dark Horse Gunhead comic cover. :lol

And the concept art for the Oliver Twist game is gorgeous! Why didn't they make this instead of fucking Dante? :|

gutter_trash · Feb 5, 2010

the Gun Head cancellation was really sad for me personally; I was really looking forward going to work on it when I was interviewed for it

the idea seem so awesome and it would have been cool to have worked on it

C-Jo · Feb 5, 2010

Oh man, I'll bet you Gun Head loves to crack wise.

I'm all about the Oliver Twist videogame if its a platformer.

Birbo · Feb 5, 2010

GUN HEAD!

Holy shit I want that game.

badcrumble · Feb 5, 2010

A lot of those look pretty fucking cool.

Y2Kev · Feb 5, 2010

Gun Head is SUCH A DYNAMITE HEADDY RIP OFF

Lostconfused · Feb 5, 2010

All of that concept art looks great.

Edit: Also surprise at the anthropomorphised gun, that is a head.

SecretBonusPoint · Feb 5, 2010

Jesus fucking christ why isn't Gunhead being made. Its literally the perfect FPS. Your head that you are looking with and that reticule is YOUR GUNHEAD. Finally the perspective makes sense!!

I WILL ALLOW IT BECAUSE GODHAND AND GUNHEAD SOUND LIKE THEY BELONG TO THE SAME GENRE OF FUCKAWESOME.

gutter_trash · Feb 5, 2010

he would have had the ability to shoot with his head and use his arms for other stuff like punching, grabs and stuff

why does the industry cancel great ideas and just continue with generic sequalitis?

Zilch · Feb 5, 2010

Man, some of that art is just fantastic. Great stylized comic book-esque stuff. It's a shame knowing that most (none?) of it won't see production and if it did it would be turned into over-normal mapped, too-realistic games.

Oliver Twist would look so good with TF2's half-lambert shader...

DieH@rd · Feb 5, 2010

Hurikan looks nice.

Huh? The concept art for Oliver Twist doesn't look post-apocalyptic at all. It looks like it's set in 19th century London, just like the novel and film adaptations.

Wow. Gunhead...:lol :lol

Acosta · Feb 5, 2010

How is anyone so dense to can something called Gun Head?

Gun Head! Come on!

Kilrogg · Feb 5, 2010

Gun Head, eh? Yup, sounds like what a game company/comic books writer could come up with nowadays.

The crystal mech thing reminds me of EDF 2017 and its giant sphere-shaped alien vessel.

Gunhead looks cool - be a cool gameplay mechanic if the kickback from your gun(head) threw you back and messed with your balance...

But instead we got another Army of Two. Sigh.

Perfect Blue · Feb 5, 2010

Gun Head would be too awesome to be made.

Looks alot better than most of the stuff most companies come up with nowadays. :/

Ceebs · Feb 5, 2010

I saw the title of Gun Head and was like "huh". I then looked to the side and saw the closeup of his head and instantly wanted that game.

woodsey1982 · Feb 5, 2010

Oliver Twist does look pretty interesting...hope that hasn't been cancelled!

Was this the really cool sounding Black Box game?

That is, if you're allowed to share that information.

First thing I thought of when I heard the name as well.
The movie was absolutely unwatchable.

They made a TG16 game.

Gun Head sounds like a sidekick for Dudebro.

OMG Gunhead looks amazing, they have to make that game.

Some nice concepts in there, and beautiful art, wish some of them had been made.

No_Style · Feb 5, 2010

Concept art is always awesome.

Zilch · Feb 5, 2010

Most of this art was posted in late 2007, just FYI.

Hugbot · Feb 5, 2010

Gun Head might be the best thing I've ever seen. Here's hoping it was just unannounced, and not canceled.

Deleted member 22576 · Feb 5, 2010

Wow, lot's of cool art.
Gunhead looks awesome! :lol

I just went for an interview and was really pumped to possibly get hired to work on it because they told me broad idea about the game with not too many specifics.

this is the first time that I ever see any art for it.

I was sad when my friends told me about the cancellation(s) that where going on because I was really looking forward going to work on something that was original

I'd agree with this. It's always funny to see a game that doesn't have that great a look / style in game but when you look at the concept art it always looks fantastic. Guess it can just be really hard to translate cool art concepts to actual game execution. Plus all the cool info penciled into the margins about character design always looks neat.
