We wish you could have stayed: unfortunately cancelled games

Post by J T »

This thread is to post tributes to the games that never made it out of production that you wish would have survived.

I was just browsing some things on YouTube and found a link to a sequel to Full Throttle that never made it. I never knew they were even working on this.



Ben was the perfect comic biker bad boy. He was over top cool. So cool it was funny. I wish the sequel would have seen the light of day.

Metroid Dread, for the DS. That would have been such a great game...

Hopefully, Nintendo might pick up on it one of these days.

True Fantasy Live Online for the original Xbox - Microsoft canned it half way through development, which is a real shame as I would have loved to play a Level 5 take on the MMORPG genre.

Also, there was aparantly a next-gen Carmageddon sequel in development, but it was canned shortly after the 360 launched. There's a franchise that needs bringing back, the first two Carmageddons are classic.

B.C - totally forgot about this one, it looked absolutely stunning and was one of my most anticipated games back during the original Xbox days. It was developed by Lionhead, and if I remember correctly they said that although the game was cancelled for the Xbox, it could appear again in the future - here's hoping, it sounded very ambitious.

My biggest one is the Dreamcast version of System Shock 2. That would make it so much easier to play the blasted thing.

Just about to say that. :P
I would have like to see the SatAM Genesis game come out, too. If only STI had delivered the goods, Sonic games might not suck as much as they do now. D:
