BC is my saddest cancellation.
Was so looking forward to GHOST. Even though I didn't know a lick about the StarCraft lore, it still looked like it would have been a great game.
1313 is another game that was looking fantastic and just fell by the wayside. ;_;
Nothing in that list is heartbreaking except for Dead Phoenix and Streets of Rage. People should be glad to see a few cancelled EA and Molyneaux games as that saves us the wasted time of caring about them only to be inevitably disappointed with a shit product.
The fact the list misses the following is an indictment:
The City of Metronome
Oddworld Fangus
Beyond Good and Evil 2
The Last Guardian
Shenmue 3
Half Life 3/ep3

Why would they list games that aren't cancelled or never existed?
This was my first thought too. The game Human Head was working on looked incredible, and the trailer was dynamite. There seemed to be so much potential there. Really a shame what happened. I understand Arkane's working on it now, but I still wish we'd have gotten the game Human Head was making.

Well they list the a goddamn FF tech demo so never existing isn't too much of a stretch

I can't be sad over The Last Guardian.
We barely saw anything of it.
B.C and Pirates of the Caribbean are the best on the list.
B.C. had dinosaurs so enough said there. Caribbean looked to be the title that would have put Propganda games on the map.

I remember being hyped about Cipher Complex. Game has been "on hold" for about five years now. Damn shame, what little we got to see looked pretty cool.

Fallout Online?
They were trying to fill out their numbers?

Especially since its been a decade, and I still cannot find anything that is even similar.
To everyone saying, "FF64 was just a tech demo".
Sure now years after, when many articles covering this topic we know this. Forget what you know now, travel back in time when you were a younger you. Go to a store buy a Nintendo Power or other magazines and flip to the pages where they're showing FF64 off on the Ultra 64. Back then this felt like a cancelation.

No one remembers like half of these anymore.
Six Days in Fallujah was likely just going to be your run of the mill low budget shooter with some crappy controversial story.

Never officially announced, let alone officially canceled.
Really strange of them to miss Mega Man Legends 3 though.

I honestly would have liked to see how Maverick Hunter turned out. It looked intriguing, even if it was potentially pretty bad.

Where the fuck is Legends?
I fucking CRIED when I heard it was cancelled, fucking Capcom.

It had the same characters as FF6. Even back then FF had absolutely never made a second FF game that used the same characters (and the subtitles/sequels didn't happen for years)

IIRC Balder's Gate 3 was cancelled because Interplay lost the D&D license.
Edit: They lost the license for PC, but it was extended for consoles as a result. So it was canceled in favour of Dark Alliance II basically. Similar situation to Fallout 3 and the fan favourite Fallout: BOS.
Wild gave me BC vibes when I first saw it.(Granted I've never seen BC in motion.I've only seen it in screenshots;though after seeing the trailer for BC,The Forest sort of seems more like it than Wild does.
Ha! Made you cry, Gooch has done it again!
;___; My dream game right here

Not incredibly heart broken but I wish we could have seen something about that game that Sci-fi game that Santa Monica was working on. It sounded cool
This much was obvious back then, but the illusion and sales pitch made by news outlets at the time was this was a real thing coming. I mean this was the mid 90s, you didn't have much to go on other than what you were being told. When multiple magazines are talking about a game and a potential release you start believing.

True Fantasy Live Online and Chrono Trigger Resurrection. </3
;_______; How could anyone not cry with this game. Its not even like it was a small project, there's tons of huge ass production value in what screens we have. Cavia's dark setting, characterization and great atmosphere, Mistwalkers actual game making ability....FFFF
LOOK AT THIS SHIT BRO! HOW COULD THEY DO THIS!?

The White Council is the one that bugs me. Elder Scrolls in Middle Earth, how cool would that have been?
Dreamland Chronicles is one they missed, it was basically an X-com reboot
And the PSP release of that East of Eden JRPG (Has a Japanese name). They put out a press release and screenshots, so it must have been close to done, but it was quietly cancelled.
