Prey 2: The Thread
Open world Bladerunner bounty hunting game. Much like how people cursed Fox for dropping Firefly people will curse Bethesda for doing shady shit no matter how much they deny it and blame the "quality" of the tittle as justification.
This game would have been undoubtedly a masterpiece with amazing visuals for its time, great art design and gameplay...and it's something that everyone knew...including Bethesda.
I would love for Unseen64 to do a detailed piece on this but I doubt Bethesda will ever cough up anything about this fuck up.
Somehow this is what always happens. There's never a direct source, but always someone who knows someone else who supposedly saw it.It does and I know 2 people that have played or at least seen it. Someone really really should ask Yu Suzuki about it now that he accessible through Shenmue III development kickstarter.
I played it daily.

The cancelled first person Avengers game comes to mind.
I read the Unseen 64 book, had some interesting titles in there but also a bunch of filler... and very awkward writing due to it being from a non-native speaker. Could have really used some editing!

But it did tip me off to Skies of Arcadia 2 being in development at one point. That definitely intrigues me the most, considering how good the original was.
And of course, I'd have loved to see what was planned for Versus, Lufia 3: Ruins Chasers for PS1, and Tengai Makyou 3 for PC-FX...
The problem with the Unseen64 book is that it was written by a bunch of us, scattered randomly across the globe. It wasn't all written by one person, meaning basic coordination in how things were written were lacking. There are a lot of things that Im not entirely happy with, especially the rush to get it out this year when additional editing was sorely needed beyond just cleaning up, but overall I think it came out better than I expected in a lot of ways. Trust me though, I was fighting until the end to allow someone, be it me or any number of us, take a pass at it to clean it up.
As for the articles that were or werent in it, it comes down to what people volunteered to do, and what material is actually out there to do properly. We were also told that there would be a limited amount of pictures, but there ended up being a lot more in there, ending with lower quality than if those of us with access to games had known to take screenshots and the like.
Man, this sounds like a Red Dead prototype.Does anyone remember Gunslinger from the early PS2 days? It was a game set in the wild west where you could do anything, which at that point was rarer than now. People you kill would affect your reputation, and if you wanted to kill a town's mayor or something, you could.
No worries, man. I'm just glad that it exists. Hopefully there can be a second edition or follow-up book sometime in the future.
I remember someone saying that there were plans to hopefully return Unseen 64's website to its former glory sometime in 2017. Is that looking like a possibility?
I'm referring to how it used to be easier to find/discover games on the site back before it switched to a blog structure.
I dont know a lot about what goes on behind the scenes, but I do know that they plan on having a much better game discovery system. What that looks like, I have no idea hah.
I think there's a lot of really great research being done that is better than what was done in the past anyway, but access is certainly an issue.
Well, I just remember from the pre-blog days there used to be a page just like this, but instead of the links on that page taking you to blog posts that matched those tags listed in order of publish date it would take you to another table with links to all of the games that fell under that category.
For example, if I clicked on SNES it would take me to a page with all of the beta/canceled SNES games listed in alphabetical order on a big index. That was much better, I think.
still think about this game...

Metal Gear Rising 2 and Silent Hills. Tragic.
Lamborghini for the original xbox, it was rather far along and a demo was released on OXM but sadly the developers went under before release.

Game is really hard hah, but handles nice.
It is still Resident Evil 3.5 (castle/fog version) for me. Coming off of REmake, this seemed to mark the series at its darkest/scariest and it was probably the most excited I've ever been for a game. So I was really bummed out that things ended up going in the complete opposite direction, even if the final version of RE4 is an amazing game in its own right.
I would have loved to have seen how that game would have turned out.
Oh, damn. That one might even give Thrill Kill a run for its money for me. I was so mad when Ghost faded to the point of official vaporware status.

One of my biggest regrets was the year I saw it at E3 (yes back when Blizzard still did E3), and one of the Blizzard staffers asked me if I was interested in playing. I replied with, "It looks great, but no thanks, I'll just wait until it comes out in a year to play it." WHY?!
P.S. They had their multiplayer on display at the show and it looked amazing at the time.
