Not really, just speculation that it may have been a case of wrong place, wrong time (a X360 game that would have launched early in the life of the XB1).

The people involved with the game declined to talk about the cancellation, it seems.

Thanks. Would've been an interesting XB1 launch era title if a port was developed. Seems a shame it didn't make it to full production

 

[kobu]

I would have loved to play this

 

[Fj0823]

This wouldve made bank

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

This looks really quite good! I wish it'd made it past the pitch phase.

 

[robotrock]

love the way this game looks

 

[spazchicken]

That looked fun. I don't care for the Leggo games but I would have played that.

 

[UKUMI0]

Didn't know how much I wanted this until now.

 

[Amagon]

I would of bought this.

 

[BigEmil]

Maybe they didn't need that with once Microsoft knew was going to buy Mojang (Minecraft)

LEGO team are making the game LEGO Worlds looks similar

 

[Defect]

This actually looked good.

Yeah, unfortunately. I got confirmation of where it came from with some luck. But thats it. I actually spooked at least one dev.

Weird that Fable Anniversary didn't end up the same way. (Maybe different audiences and they figured people would rebuy Fable anyways?)

 

[Neuromancer]

That looks surprisingly good. Of course it was cancelled.

 

[D4Danger]

finding blueprints, collecting parts, platforming, mini horde modes, vehicle customization, splitscreen. this cancelled prototype has more going for it than halo 4 and 5 combined. Also they really nail the tone of the original game.

 

[Arby 'n' the Chief]

I want it

 

[NowhereFaded]

Why canceled??!
This would have sold gang busters.

Vehicle controls looked a little off but yeah that could be fixed later on

 

[Borman]

Yeah they are a bit too precise almost. But minor detail in the scheme of things.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Shame, woulda been my first Halo game.

That doesn't even remind me of mega blocks or a block aesthetic. It just looks like a polished modern version of N64 game design.

I thought the same, but that description only sells me further on it.

 

[Blam]

Honestly doesn't look that bad. I'd assume Borman only a 360 build was made of the vertical slice?

 

[Duderino]

Crazy, I recall us pitching something nearly identical at Backbone Entertainment before the studio closed its doors. We never made it out of the pitch phase, but I did wind up building some tools to help with the asset construction and put together a few examples.

Remember hearing through the grape vine it went to N-space. Very cool to see what could have been. Really a shame it didn't pan out for them, N-space were clearly competent, but like a lot of the project contracting studios probably delt with a lot uncertainty in production.

 

[thecosmicfly]

I'm really torn on this. On the one hand this looks colourful, suprisingly polished and well realised, and has some simple but novel ideas in the gameplay. On the other hand, its fucking mega bloks.

 

[always crazy bacon]

Shame this was cancelled.

 

[Diprosalic]

would've probaby have a better campaign than 4 and 5 put together.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

What the fuck Microsoft?
This would have been more exciting than 4, 5 and Halo Wars 2 personally.

 

[Nowise10]

if I say I'd buy it, is their a chance it will come back? Because I would buy the FUCK out of this. Looks absolutely amazing, specially for a prototype.

Always happy to listen...

Yeah, and the project was only slated for 360 based on all the evidence I have.

 

[CertifiedFP]

Not in any way resembling this prototype. N-Space is dead and its staff scattered after Sword Coast Legends underperformed.

And that's fucked because N-Space had some amazing talent under their belt.

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

Shame it got cancelled. Looks interesting. The blok aesthetic is real nice.

 

[DirgeExtinction]

This would've been an amazing way to introduce kids to Halo.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

This game looks amazing! I would've loved to play a Halo Game like this.

 

[Blam]

Always happy to listen...

Yeah, and the project was only slated for 360 based on all the evidence I have.

I'd assume there'd be no way to get this build to extract models from?

 

[JigglesBunny]

I would have rather had this than the busted Master Chief Collection and Halo 5. This looks freaking phenomenal and the idea of having a Halo game I could play with my young cousins sounds terrific.

Cancelling this was definitley a mistake.

 

[guybrushfreeman]

Yeah, unfortunately. I got confirmation of where it came from with some luck. But thats it. I actually spooked at least one dev.

Thanks for your work. Really interesting

 

[Borman]

Sadly I dont own the build, just had the opportunity to play. Extracting is easy though as an UE3 game.

 

[Voho]

Would have absolutely loved this...more Halo spin offs (like Wars) are always welcome.

 

[Oneself]

Doesn't really look like Mega Blocks but it looks quite good.
It could have become Microsoft's answer to Ratchet&Clank. Looks quite similar IMO.

 

[Scarecrow]

Looks great for kids too young to play the main series.

 

[Vince DiCola]

Microsoft get this sort of project greenlit

 

[Blam]

Yeah that's the only reason I had asked.

 

[robotrock]

This would've been an amazing way to introduce kids to Halo.

Its true but why the hell would you introduce kids to halo though. It's got guns and crap, only the most recent game was a T.

Seems kind of nefarious to me.

 

[rjc571]

I doubt a game like this would be popular with the Xbox crowd.

 

[outunderthestars]

This looks awesome. Would have bought it

 

[TheCongressman1]

Man, that charge move that bashes enemies. This looks really cool.

I really like the idea of a 3rd person Halo.

 

[robotrock]

I doubt a game like this would be popular with the Xbox crowd.

the Xbox crowd who bought 24 million kinects

 

[Diablohead]

The game also looks damn nice visually for a 360 title, the art style works well

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Would have bought this

 

[Outrun]

I think that me and my boy would have enjoyed this.

 

[xzeldax3]

God damnnnnnn, that looks great. I think I would have loved playing it. Those toys are still popular, right? Maybe the game has a chance of getting a revival.

 

[leroidys]

Looks way better than I expected coming in.
