I like watching playthroughs of video games I had never owned in the past and I saw Fear Effect. I thought that these two games looked great for its time and were really awesome games (of course, the difficulty in them looked really challenging at some parts) which got me thinking... Oh boy.

There have been some really awesome game series that just suddenly stopped because either the company went out of business or just something happened where the game didn't go through. I can name a few games that I would have definitely love to see get made:

Starcraft: Ghost
Warcraft Adventures
Fear Effect: Inferno
The stack of Legacy of Kain games
Vectorman (For the Playstation 2)


These are just a few, what about yours?

StarCraft Ghosts

Capcom All Stars at least I think that was the name was a 3d fighter that was going to be released on ps2 but was canned. It had SFEX3 graphics engine but played more like a 2d fighter. Morrigan looked epic in that.

That Star Wars game looked epic to but that got dismissed. I forget the name. It was even showed at E3 and I think PAX to. The Game looked amazing.

These were among a few title's I'd like to have seen happen.

Though technically not cancelled, Super Mario RPG 2. Sonic X-treme would be a close second. To this day, it blows me mind that the Saturn didn't have a true exclusive Sonic game.

That Mega Man FPS game looked cool. (I think it was called Maverick Hunter)

Star Wars 1313 looked awesome

Also, there was that MMO The Agency or whatever. It had an interesting premise.

Lastly, I'm gonna put up Wizardry Online. It is technically out now, but it's getting shut down in a couple months, which kind of made me lose interest. I liked what I played of it though, the permadeath system is pretty unique to MMOs

Are we talking specifically games that were started then canned? Or sequels that have a slim to no chance of ever being made due to one reason or another?

What I would like to see:
  • Megaman Legends 3 (seriously Capcom, What...The...Fuck?)
  • A new Vampire: The Masquerade game (Bloodlines was awesome)
  • Mercenaries 3 (was started, then the dev's got EA'ed)
  • Another Tiny Tank
  • A sequel/remake to Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy (someone still actually owns this IP right?)
  • Another Vectorman
  • KOTOR 3 (maybe...please?)

I was pretty curious in the 2003/2004 Daredevil game that got as far as being previewed and advertised on the backs of comics, but was never actually released. At the time, looking at the world through his radar senses seemed like a much more novel concept. Games like Wolverine's Revenge and Arkham Asylum have long since done it with other superheroes.

There was an Aeon Flux game that sounded pretty interesting, too.

For games that were cancelled post release, I'd go for those infamous original versions of Shinobi III that hade Batman, Spider-man and Godzilla. Obviously edited versions are widely accessible, but it would've been fun to have that original experience.

[Elsewhere on MKO]: Darth Maul looked interesting. The various iterations of Legacy of Kain games were obviously attractive. Mortal Kombat: Fire & Ice might've been fun, for something closer to home. A proper, finished version of Special Forces also might've had a lot of potential.

Primal Rage 2

I thought this might intrigue anyone who wanted Primal Rage 2 to be playable. Kind of a nifty video if you ask me. Thanks for reminding me, Kunglaodoesntsuck.

Man, that looked really fun and interesting. So bummed that they were so far with it and cancelled it.

Who owns Primal Rage now? Does WB? If so, they should totally put NRS to work on a reboot sometime in the future.
