Since Zero Escape 3 never even existed... BioShock Vita? Only if it was closer to the original two games and forgot Infinite was a thing.
This! A thousand times this!

Fear Effect: Inferno. I still desperately want to play it, not to mention that it was pretty much close to completion anyway by the time it was shelved. I'm still hurting.

That was the end of it for big production adventure games...

Armada of the Damned.
It could have been ACIV before there was an ACIV and might have been even better.
Thanks for reopening that hole in my heart. Had forgotten about this
Yep, Zero Escape 3, even though I don't think it was ever greenlit to begin with.

I don't know if it counts, but any sequel to Eternal Darkness. (I don't think it does, as I'm not sure it was ever truly announced.)
Fuck Core...Angel of Darkness was HORRIBLE

The trailer won me over immediately, but then I just kind of forgot about it as time went on... Ain't that the way of it...

no MamaRobotnic yet with all of the cancelled Legacy of Kain games? 
Some great pics in here that outsider game did sound great in edge. That Starcraft ghost butt is ridiculous. Not sure which game I would resurrect because for the most part these games probably get canned because their crappy. I guess 8 days at least it had the cool looking cover shoot bang mechanics.
Since someone already mentioned Starcraft Ghost, I'm going to say Gorilla Nation.

.Halo 4.
I mean the alpha they built but canned because it was too much like halo of old.
I think it was wolfkill that talked about it

They cancelled Skies HD? I didn't even know it existed outside our hopes and dreams. I was hoping it was still 'coming'.

Prey 2 was my answer without a doubt, but
I had no clue they completely scrapped Human Head's work and started development again with a new studio. Seems silly.

My first thought was also Metroid Dread.
Saturn Sonic would have been cool to see too. What was that Sonic Xtreme?

Cancelled, yes...but it's not exactly unavailable. I could chuck my copy in my Dreamcast right now...I hope you knew this, and are upset because you never got to play it online, rather than the much worse possibility that you've been sitting there for thirteen years not knowing you can just download it off the internet! It's a fucking blast in 4 player split screen.
Stalker 2, Timesplitters 4, Starcraft Ghost, and so many others in this thread that I came to say. But how about the game that was cancelled, so that the developers could take over work on Starcraft Ghost?
Metal Arms 2
The original game, Metal Arms: Glitch in the System is easily one of my favourite games ever made, and the only game the developer, Swingin' Ape Studios, ever got to make. The whole story, from trying to create a bounty hunter game, licencing their own engine out to survive, to being ranked the best game Vivendi had at E3 and the cancelled sequel, is in this great article here.
What it doesn't include is what happened afterwards, when the whole team was bought out by Blizzard, and put to work on Starcraft Ghost, which was at that point in time a complete mess under the direction of Nihilistic Software - who sucked then, and suck more now. It's pretty fascinating, especially if you played Metal Arms, to see Starcraft Ghost suddenly (and obviously) switch on to the Metal Arms engine, and the Swingin' Ape team make their mark on the game. And then boom. Cancelled.

Star Wars 1313 for sure.
I had never heard of this before until now. To think it essentially became the same concept as Titanfall, but conceived years earlier... wow.
Never had the chance to be. Trademarked titles should still count for this thread... yeesh.

One bad game.One fucking game...which was in fact being rushed thanks to Eidos.In return they gave us 4 incredible games which defined the series (and a half one which was Chronicles) developed tirelessly year after year (again thanks to Eidos greed) and which are still enjoyed by many TR fans.
I would have been very disrespectful if i disregarded their whole output since 1996 just because they made one bad game (which cost them as a company far more than they deserved).
How 'bout I save you the trouble of having to wait till E3 and tell you you're wrong right now?
Noooooooooooooooooooooo
I mean yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssss
make it a Wii U exclusive
Yes, this one as well. Core Design was just awesome. Angel Of Darkness tried way too many things at once and Eidos fucked it up as well. Would have loved to see the story continue.

Mega Man Legends 3. Announcing the game after a 10 year hiatus, and involving the fans, just to cancel it was one of the most heartbreaking things I've seen. And I've only played the first for like 20 minutes.
They should've just kept quiet until it was green-lit. And every time Capcom will announce something, I always keep hoping it's MML3, I can't help it for some reason.

Legend of Dragoon 2
The first one had a ton of neat ideas, and I think a sequel could've perfected the formula.
Also, I did not know Skies of Arcadia was getting an HD remake at some point. I just bought the GC version lol

I hope your first step would be to get rid of the awful lead character design.

I wouldn't revive that actually. Rare are in no position to make it, and what they were working on with for Threeie that became nuts and bolts only happened because the levels were getting too huge.
Tooie was already seemed worse than Kazooie because of the ridiculous size of the levels, I dread to think what they were planning on Threeies scope.
edit: A pirates of the Caribbean assasins creed type game was being made? And they chose to continue developing TRON of all things over it before shuttering the studio?
Some decisions really are baffling.

I can remember reading OXM and being so hyped for this game. Its sad it will never see the light of day, DARN YOU Lionhead *Shakes fist*
