Any cancelled games that you would die to play?
- Thread starter Cheddahz
- Start date
I don't get people saying Bayo2... you know it's coming right? or it's a "it is on wiiu so it will be shit/ it's like it doesn't exist" situation?
The first title that comes to mind when thinking of cancelled games that i wants to play is Zelda URA also known as the original OOT or Zelda 64DD

I think the responses in this thread were saying they wanted to play a version directed by Kamiya
Shoot, reading through this reminds me of so many games. Cancelled games are so fascinating. Knowing that they exist and some people have played them, but we'll just never see them.
I had, somehow, never heard of Project Offset. Video looked incredible. Grand Nights History is a major bummer, especially since they were so confident about a US release. Ushiro I recognized as soon as I saw that art with the chair. I had forgotten about that. Also, let's hope to God Dragon's Crown isn't cancelled.
Another entry for the sarcastic list: Spore how I saw it in my head/how it was portrayed to be.
EDIT: Oh shoot, BF3! Man...

You can't cancel something that never existed. The Wonderful 101 didn't just enter development a month ago.

This title hasn't been cancelled. Michel Ancel has took a break from development to do Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends. I suspect that after those are done he'll resume development.
Doom 4 is still in development dude.

-Zero Racers, earlier known as G-Zero (Virtual Boy) - I would buy this today if it existed... 3d racing game for Virtual Boy, with Red Alarm-style graphics? I want it! Badly! And it was near-finished when cancelled, too.
-Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans (PC) - Sure there's a book, but I'd love to have played the game! I'm sure it'd have been decently good, and I loved the WC RTSes of course.
-Starcraft: Ghost (whatever) - Sure, it may have been disappointing, but because of how much I loved SC, I was really looking forward to this game... it's pretty sad that it never released.
Honorable Mentions: First, some games that were nearly complete when cancelled: Bound High (Another finished but cancelled game. This game's rom has leaked publicly, but it wasn't released) (Virtual Boy), Dragon Hopper (Virtual Boy), Mini Racers (N64) (I know the rom exists, but it is not public), Rodea the Sky Soldier (Wii), Star Fox 2 (SNES) (another one which does have a leaked rom)
Honorable Mentions: Games cancelled during development (not finished); Viewpoint 64 (N64), Dead Phoenix (GC) (looked really good!), Metal Slug (GBA) (the port of the arcade game), Quest for Glory V (PC)'s expansion pack (development of this never started, but it was planned, and would have included some features worked on but cut from the final original game such as multiplayer. It's really unfortunate that this didn't happen, it was needed.), Conquest 2: The Vyrium Uprising (PC) (the first one was great! I really wish that this sequel/addon had happened.), Fallout 3 (PC) (Black Isle), Baldur's Gate 3 (PC) ("Van Buren", Black Isle), Sonic X-Treme (Saturn) (I think it looked good in the videos...), Eternal Darkness 2, etc; there are plenty more. Far too many games never get released.
Finally, one that was never started, but I wish it had been: Commander Keen: The Universe Is Toast (either the original 2d one, or a later 3d game as Tom Hall thought of; the originals were among my favorite PC games in the early '90s)

Disappointing? I played the multiplayer game at E3 and it was mindblowingly fantastic. The CG and story were also top notch.

still have hope for battlefront 3 its one of lucas arts top grossing games theyve ever made theres no way they wont have a new one made at some point
I'm always interested in any cancelled game, as well as any prototypes that are shown in old gaming magazines or at trade shows. These parts of gaming history are all-too-often forgotten and unpublicized.
A few posts in this thread really hit home. TimeSplitters 4, especially, is one I'd love to play. It's probably for the best that we didn't get Mother 64 - Mother 3 GBA will age better, no?
Project H.A.M.M.E.R. comes to mind, but I'm sure it was cancelled for a reason. Wii motion controls without M+ may not have been enough for what the developers wanted to do.

Project HAMMER... that's another one I could have mentioned. I really like some of NST's games, so I was looking forward to it.
Which version, though? It was rebooted or changed developers several times, and I know I remember hearing that some were better than others... but yeah, I was really looking forward to that game for quite some time. Even had SC: Ghost wallpaper on my computer for white a while.
Seasons is sort of a remake of Zelda 1, though, in terms of level design, bosses, etc. But yeah, sure, it's too bad that the Farore game didn't happen; Ages and Seasons are two of my favorite 2d Zeldas ever... but still, we did get two great Zelda games out of the series, so I don't think it'd make my list because of that.

Not exactly dying to play it, but I always kick around that "what if" thought....
IMPERATOR, the roman empire in space themed MMO by Mythic that was scrapped as they were bought by EA and put to work in Warhammer, I guess...I was really pumped for this.
But, as stated previously, I think all the best ones are already covered.

Personally I always wanted to try GunBeat, Treasure's 1999 Naomi/DC game:

I would love to have played Mother 3 on N64 DD.
Also, I was cruising Unseen64 and found this very cool looking Dreamcast game by, of all companies, Ubisoft.

Dylan Cuthbert (who worked on the FX chip, made Star Fox with Nintendo), said that Super Mario FX was never a thing...it was just the internal codename for the Super FX during development.

I'm amazed this took 41 posts. First game I immediately thought of.
Really wanted this game to come out when I was younger.
Hate that this game got cancelled =(.
Mother 3 (64)
Conker's Other Bad Fur Day (Going Medievil, whatever other subtitles)
Perfect Dark 2 (not you zero, never zero)
Battlefront III
InSane (though rumor has it that it's coming back? or did del toro flat out say its gonna be back?)
The Last Guardian
The Avengers FPS (probably would have been shit honestly)
Mega Man Legends 3 aka I would have bought a 3DS for this fuck capcpom
The Pandemic Batman game
StarCraft Ghost
Grim Fandango 2 (okay this probably was never in development but still...)
Psychonauts 2
Brutal Legends 2
Shadows of the Damned 2 (well...probably)
This Is Vegas
Gotham By Gaslight

Considering the project still exists and we've yet to see how well it turns out (could be better than the first for all we know) mentioning it in this thread just seems like sour grapes. Kamiya still has some involvement, and we're getting Wonderful 101 besides. Or maybe people just have a fetish for certain industry figures, and aren't willing to give a creator's IP a chance with someone else at the reigns. I'm curious what these folks have to say about DMC 3...

True Fantasy Live Online
Having never played an MMO, and being a console-only player, I was really excited for this.
Such a letdown, it still irks me.
Can't believe we've only gotten 1 MMORPG on the Xbox platforms since LIVE went online in 2002. MS - thumbs up their asses.

I played the single player of the Swinging Ape version of Ghost and thought it was great. It reminded me of a good version of the Bungie game Oni with the character being acrobatic, but you could also use stealth in Metal Gear Solid style. There were both interiors and exteriors, which were pretty good looking on the original xbox.

A title called Beyond Good & Evil 2 will come out, but it won't be the same thing we have already seen. Elements might remain, but really if they come out with BG&E2, it will be next-gen.
Yes, but the previous version of Doom 4 was scrapped. TOTALLY. The started from scratch.DatDude said:

Dead Phoenix - Kid Icarus: Uprising has filled this void for me so its not too bad.
Raven Blade - It be cool to see Retro resurrect and refine this. Nintendo could use a new western developed IP
Ushiro - One of the reasons I bought a PSP
Rodea The Sky Knight - Its done apparently....
The Grinder - Awesome concept, never saw the light of day.
SPACE*AGENCY - An isomaetric space-themed action RPG with detailed sprites and gorgeous backgrounds and house music. Couldn't find a publisher after Contact bombed. It be nice if they resurrected it and put it on the E-Shop independently.
Project H.A.M.M.E.R. - Nintendo needs to pass this over to Platinum and let them do their thing.
Son of the Dragon - I was totally hyped over this concept and its teaser image is one of the most kickass concept art pieces I've seen for that entire generation.
