Cancelled games

It was basically first-person Dark Souls in terms of story-telling with a wider range of melee but Carmack was rewriting the engine every day, Romero was spouting new ideas, the two of them catfought a lot and American McGee went into a fit of sperg rage and quit Id.

Brutal. Thank God for Demonsteele to fill that melee niche though.

Am i the only one who liked that game? Shit was fun as fuck and the car selection was brilliant.

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bizarre_Creations

tbh cancelled prey 2 didn't even look or feel like prey 1. why is it so praised on Holla Forums?

At least he ended up giving us a waifu.

For real? I thought American McGee got a lucky break by being recruited into Id. Wasn't the guy down on his luck at the time and more or less got the job out of sympathy? I'm not trying to bash the guy, but I swear I head that somewhere. It would be pretty fucking stupid if he lost his shit and bit the hand that fed him.

The true Fallout 3

F
third Alice never ever

It was an alien bounty hunter game which is something not well done before and we don't know if it would've been shit or not but the devs were fun-loving dudes, the reason why Holla Forums gives a shit is because Bethesda bled the company out in hopes that they would forfeit their freedom and become another subsidiary like Arkane but they went down with their ship instead of making a deal with a devil.

The games are mediocre but it's something that oozes passion & personality and a nice art-style to boot, also dark/spooky girls who are sweet on the inside.

His initial job at Id was answering phone calls and then the main crew saw his talent so they had him be a map designer. He isn't mentioned as much JC, Romero, and Hall just like BIG GUY SANDY PETERSEN.

why didn't they just call it something else? prey 2 didn't need a second game.

MR is but I thought the first game was pretty good (it also has a much better soundtrack). I loved it from the beginning to the end while I had to force myself to finish MR.

Neither did Half-Life, a sequel doesn't have to follow up the first game's story especially when the story was wrapped up in the first game and the Injun would've been a main character in the 2nd game.

I got spoiled the ending for myself because I'm a curious fucker and lost all drive to complete the game but I'm on chapter 2 last I played. I also fucking snagged the physical copy in mint condition with the knife, some poor sod was selling it for $40.

Just accept Wasteland 2 as the "real modern Fallout."

...

hmmmm

Can I do a cancelled expansion to a released game? If so, Guild Wars Utopia.

...

How the fuck do you get bought out people making phone games.

There was a sequel to the game taking place in the same world as the first that was cancelled in 2012, not even shills care very much for the reboot as they didn't try hard to market it.

...

Could you tell me about Tiberian Sun?

C&C 3 is a juicier story but TS got rushed out the door before Westwood could implement more features to separate it from the previous games like custom loadouts for unity types, changing the story, and other EA intervention.

Is there much info on either? I couldn't find anything on The Cutting Room Floor or by looking up "Tiberian Sun cut content".

So it was going to be a King's Field knock-off?

I'm still salty about this.

The ceo went full kike mode even after the first episode sold enough to cover all of its costs and half the projected costs of the next episode. That fucker thought that the ngage was going to be huge

Rainbow Six Patriots was going to let you have the option to play as a RWDS.

F

Carmack was a mistake.
Every time I hear about him at the company, I think "Jesus fucking Christ, why didn't they get a different tech guy?"
He fired so fucking many people over stupid shit. He's the reason ID turned to shit.

ID wouldn't be ID without carmack. His skills were unreplaceable, the issue is he was in charge.
Putting an autistic savant of a programmer in charge of a tech company is like putting a drummer in charge of a band. Their skills are a necessity, extremely rare to find (let alone someone who's good at it) but don't fucking put that cunt in charge.

When black isle bit the dust, they took FO3 and dark alliance 3 with them. Fucking rip.

starcraft ghost

Stop putting carmack on a pedestal, half the things he's given credit for are misattributed.

wtf i hate carmack now xDDD

holy shit you actually believe that kotaku shit? You do know carmack didn't do anything that wasn't done before.

Tiberian Sun was the very definition of Feature Creep. Like the Forgotten was meant to be a full playable faction, Scrin were meant to play a bigger part of the story, terrain deformation played a bigger role in reshaping the battlefield and opening up new paths. Wildlife was meant to be even larger and diverse. You could also pick and choose reinforcements options before the start of a mission. There was also meant to be a lot of civilian structures you could capture which would give you benefitis. Then actually making the game was a bit of a clusterfuck, especially in terms of post production since they had no flexibility if they wanted to change anything.

There was more to this but pretty much that is a summary.

ftfy

Well time for a feels thread. Here's two games. First 4 screens should be from MPBT 3025, that Battletech MMO that got canned by EA cause EA overexpanded and got themselves in the shitter. Next is Mechwarrior 5, the original Mechwarrior 5 which was meant to be the follow up to Mechwarrior 4 Mercs and show the Jihad. That got canned as well to make MechInsult on the EggBox, even though Mechwarrior 4 did pretty damned well.

why is it always like that?

For the last fucking time EA had nothing to do with Mechwarrior/Battletech you nigger

The leaked gameplay footage looked amazing for its time too

You really need a history lesson you fucktard,

...

planetside did draw heavily from that

2 Days To Vegas
I remember falling for these bullshots like 10 years ago

I never played King's Field but Dark Souls' tone puts more of an emphasis on the grim.

Yes they are renders but those pics just go to show that developers of brownshit know how to make nice looking graphics but they just fucking choose to make brownshit.

;_;

Anyone remember gun loco?

yeah, the brown and more grim artstyle or "realistic" remember that era kinda miss it for some weird reason.

These renders don't seem too impossible, probably a target render to get some hype and PR.

Dunno which engine it was developed for but you got that in-theory bullshit, a system can get so many geometry as possible and have art plus a stable fps usually locked 30 if there is allot detail.

So like Shadow Tower but not slow? :^)

Same shit that kills sandbox games for me, they love to make driving almost impossible. Even if you adjust the goddamn camera to a decent angle, the stupid motherfucker auto-resets when you pick up some speed!

this classic gem was also canned really fast it was announced and never heard from again.
Faith and a .45

It fucking pisses me off to no end too.

Enemy in Sight
Basically Operation Flashpoint, but by the devs who made Hidden & Dangerous.

IT STILL PAINS ME TO WATCH THIS.

And the pictures of the picnic they had burning a 12' stack of paper that was the code printed out.

still i'm sorta glad we got siege instead

that was the last game of those devs too, they only made Pure before, the game about ATV racing
fucking Disney

Neither did Half-Life, a sequel doesn't have to follow up the first game's story especially when the story was wrapped up in the first game and the Injun would've been a main character in the 2nd game.

The jumping is spotty and the voice acting for supporting characters is bad but it is superior to the MR's God of War copycat gameplay and quadruple jumping. I spoiled the ending for myself because I'm a curious fucker and lost all drive to complete the game and I was only on the chapter with the giant ants and boulder. I also fucking snagged the physical copy in mint condition with the knife, some poor sod was selling it for $40.

I dono, that game looks like it coulda been unintentional predictive programming for the Day of the Rope, I'd much prefer that

...

In 2014 me and friend of mine were discussing this I heard Patriots got shut down by government "request" so they complied, nothing to do with the actual development of the game.

Because no one really cared and was mediocre game to begin with.

funny, but hard to believe

La Li Lu Le Lo?

I really hope SNK revives it eventually

I keep wondering if that PS4 shmup by the Ikaruga guy is ever coming out, or if it is actually cancelled.

I can't find a link to it, but for a few years in the mid/late aughts the military was giving grants to games that portrayed them in a positive/heroic light.

Damn, no kidding. Looks very similar

I kinda suspected that since the game was basically 'What if the Occupy Movement became organized and violent' and it was in development while that shit was going on. I guess they didn't want anyone getting ideas?

How many games out there had you target American properties and interests with gray morality thrown into the mix, regardless of Occupy Wall Street it still made some certain people uneasy. Take it with a grain of salt because I haven't gave a shit about the game in a long time especially when I found Siege to be a good replacement.

couldn't you argue that's exactly what antifa is?

The difference being the antagonists in Patriots were targeting bankers and CEOs and breaking into their homes or offices. Then holding their families hostage or just forcing them at gunpoint to have a bomb placed on them then forced into target locations. In the proof of concept trailer they kidnapped a guy and were plotting to set off his explosive at Times Square and the bomb had a huge blast radius.

How bad is Antifa getting?

bad enough where even liberals are getting sick of their shit but not that bad

is this some kind of DMC spinoff?

I'd argue campaign.
Ah man, I just got back from playing some of the new update.
They've destroyed the story even further.
Lazarus comes back, except it's not him; it's a mysterious guy pretending to be him.
Who could it be?
It's fucking Balthazar.
Not an avatar.
Not a priest.
Not a fucking champion.
The god himself.
And he's evil.

same director as first DMC, but no.
I'm sad but other user was right it looked very mediocre

If only all devs had this integrity. True respect.

Sadder thing is after that fiasco is that they gave up making real games and have resorted to making ports and mobile games, Prey 2 to them is what the G11 was to H&K.

They're throwing molotov cocktails at police now and are now starting to form militias.

This is only like >5% of them, the rest are spineless cowards who have started to get out of dodge because of the old water-cannon treatment and the cult abuse of BAMN against them, but the leftovers are steadily becoming full domestic terrorists akin to the SLA or BLA or M19CO. They're going to all go the way of the SLA/BLA/M19CO groups of course; disbanded due to mostly being dead or disillusioned.

This is going to lead to a social purge of communism believers. This will be ultimately good in the long run.

Those aren't suppose to be spoilered.

Most of those guns probably belong to their parents, it's funnier because they obviously don't know how to use their weapons and if a shootout would occur they'd scatter or cause massive amounts of property damage and lives lost.

That was in Turkey over gay rights, I'm not sure if I should be glad a Turk is dead or that Turkey should legalize gay marriage.

This is why we need an Urban Chaos sequel

Oh that's a shame. Kinda. I was hoping it was antifa getting owned. Still, vids of antifa getting owned are a dime a dozen.

I've been meaning to relearned 3d modelling, I wanted to make a horde-defense game where you're a normal old American citizens defending yourself against hordes of communist antifa faggots.

some one on /k/ identified a lot of the weapons in their glamor-shots as airsoft as well

we already had one. Riot Response is the low-escalation sequel the original Urban Chaos

in the original you end up fighting lava monsters and demons and shit

...

I fucking love the game and I wasn't aware it was a sequel
Much less this

had a strong black female protagonist. This being before it was cool to have that so she actually doesn't suck

I was thinking on how hard it would be write an RPG analogous to the current political climate. The current political climate is too retarded for fiction. If any race (real or fictional) other than Blacks pulls a BLM, there wouldn't be this much support.

Is that guy in the middle wearing a bullet proof bib? Half his stomach is still exposed.

...

Stop advertising in every thread.

I want some Vaporwave games.

...

Shame the sequel didn't have a PC release. It doesn't emulate very well.

Well you see in the commie's "infinite wisdom" he bought a vest about three sizes too small for him.

>inb4 it ends up being shit

Also reminder that Battlefront 3 is confirmed never ever thanks to £A.

don't forget shades of purple.

fuck, forgot pic

...

Oh it'll come out. It just won't be the original one.

On the subject of Star Wars and cancelled games.

The game could have still have had shit gameplay but it would have been better than listening to 12 year old testers how a mature game should look. Then it released as a M rating and those testers couldn't have played it legally so their opinion was even more mute than it already was.

Actually, he was fired by Carmack after they finished Quake II because he thought McGee was too much like Romero, who was forced to resign two years prior after Carmack strong-armed him.

Arguably, yes. Carmack is extremely fond of programming and used id as an outlet for this. It's the only thing that he seems to be passionate for. He broke into his middle school so he could steal a computer and program. When he realized that you have to take care of pets, he gave his kitten back to the shelter knowing it would be euthanized. The only reason why they succeeded early on is because the way it worked is that he'd program and everyone else used his tools. When 3D graphics started really coming into play and technological possibilities exploded, he kept on fucking around and raising the bar without regard to his co-workers. When Romero and others started complaining that changing shit all the time isn't how you make video games, he did everything he could to preserve his dream of programming, which was gutting id. He's the Griffith of the video game industry.

Then who's Casca?

Us, probably.

Raped

Do you have proof that 12-year-olds tested an M-rated game?

Good thing it got cancelled.
How the fuck are you going to see what's in front of the car while driving ?

Blur 1 was shit anyway.

...

The trick is to not make it directly analogous like some SJW hack

Scalebound is getting converted to Drakengard 4. People were calling it months ago and I almost guarantee you it'll come true.

seriously fuck the IM devs

fuck…. I believed. then years happened later and I still rarely heard no development. Where is the fucking shark zombie mode?

seriously that company is more accociated with SNK than itself. When will they make any new games?

I will wait until he confirms that MGR2 was nier automata. the huds and GUI and sounds are too similar for me to not notice

They have been riding the early access trains since forever. I don't think they're going to stop now.

I had a little fun making a webm of that pic.

"He" as in Kamiya? Don't see why he would since he didn't work on either Revengeance or Automata

I guess "he" as in platinum games or the director or other devs who were working on MGR2.

I knew that they changed it for those reasons, just not that it was underageb& who said them. Can you prove child soldiers?

What?

But Half-Life was saved during development because everyone let Valve know how SHIT the leaked version was, so they changed it drastically.

ADK went under and SNK now owns all their IPs.

I can't believe the first one wasn't cancelled

ADK has been dead for 14 years user. SNK owns all their IPs now

Even if bullets won't kill him, grids from getting tattoos will.

No, the final product is objectively worse than what they had planned. The only thing that's better in the final is the art style, it distinguished itself from other brownshit games at the time.

Fuck me sideways, that's awful dude. Lore was a mistake.

play crash team racing

Sounds like those cunts need to be put in their place and be sent back to the volcano or hell or wherever they came from.

cinemablend.com/games/Insomniac-Says-Focus-Groups-Thought-Overstrike-Was-Too-Cartoony-47577.html

“The game started out with a much more stylized and campy direction. We were actually going for something on the level of Ratchet & Clank, except with humans,” … “Maybe it was going to appeal to gamers who, we thought at the time, might be in their late teens. The industry’s changed quite a bit… We would focus test the game in front of a lot of gamers, and get their opinion. These are people that regularly play PlayStation 3 and Xbox games. We started to discover that everyone thought this was a game for their younger brother. We would hear this from 12-year-olds.So we decided that we needed to make a game that had an older appeal.”

insomniacgames.com/category/fuse/
While on Insomniac's blog in 2013 . . .

Of course I’m well aware that we’ve taken some heat over our switch from Overstrike to Fuse. We read the YouTube comments. We watch the forums. And we listen.

After our re-reveal of the game in summer 2012 we continued to make adjustments to the game, adding more color; making sure the humor came through in emergent dialogue. No, we didn’t make aesthetic changes because of a 12 year-old’s focus test comments. We did what we thought was right for the Fuse universe. In particular we focused on creating co-op weapons and gameplay that we think work better than any other co-op shooter out there and allowed that to drive the game.

whats the story? they dropped the game to make those shitty multiplayer games? That Escape from Tarkosvky(whatever) seems like something that could still be repurposed for something good

I didn't knew it was rushed and was supposed to have more features, but it was still a very decent game. Kane's Wrath was a very decent game, but I think TS had a overall better/darker atmosphere.

Well op since you complain about Blur 2 getting canceled, did you buy the first one? If you didn't, why do you expect them to make a new one?

That's never not going to upset me. I still remember it switching to an XBOX game early in development. This was after I'd already put a pre-order in. First and last, my man.

The people getting gang raped constantly

So the consumer.

...

Did he finally find his sister? That was genuinely upsetting.

...

You could write for IGN, m8. KYS

Hey instead of gay molotovs can we just get some antifa porn and post it around the internet?

...

Thank you. The truth is worse than I imagined.

Holy shit, these people are broken record players. The brainwashing is real.

Steel monkeys are capable of making a good game. idk what happened here. Post apocalyptic mayhem is actually really fun with a bunch of friends.

The dev really didn't get it did he? We actually had plenty of "Tacticool" PvP shootas but there was nothing that offered good co-op in the vein of old SWAT or Rainbow Six series. That's what a lot of his audience and potential audience were crying out for and he did everything in his power to alienate them. I swear to fucking God he saw "Muh Esports" and thought he could get a chunk of that as well, which crashed the project with no survivors.
Also if he would fucking get off his high horse and switch from Unity to Unreal it would solve so many issues, including allowing for far quicker development

>reminder that American McGee's sister is still missing and likely killed

We'll be fighting an army of dolphins. pretty expensive guns for a "working class revolt"

This looked interesting. Too bad EA.

It was cancelled due to quality concerns, i.e. it had some quality which concerned EA.

Makes sense, the let Mass Effect Andromeda come out the way it did.

saved, cheers lad

I can't even bring myself to watch that, they fucking ruined c&c the dirty bastards

Relatedly, Dead Space 3. The gun crafting was broken as fuck, but you could do some really fun stuff with it. It would've been awesome in Dead Space 4 if EA hadn't mismanaged the series to death.

The universal ammo was pretty stupid, though. I imagine they changed it to better work with the gun crafting, but there had to be a better solution. Maybe have ammo types that get shared between similar weapons?

Oh yeah, and the microtransactions. They're honestly easy to ignore, but it sucks that EA made them add them regardless.

NEVER FORGET

I really should watch the Guyver movies some time. The '80s OVAs were pretty tits if memory serves. Even if the fat guy's only role was to yell Sho's name whenever things got mildly dangerous.

I can't stand these retards. The guy just made the idea when he worked under zenimax as a personal project, and then zenimax tries to fuck him over about his own code and ideas. I hate all these bethesda fanboys and their straight up bullshit about how anything related to the company does nothing wrong.

Why would you guys want a c&c fps anyway? I mean it would be just another CoD/BF.

never ever

Didn't 4 just get released?

…man what is with the obsession with Mechwarrior? Its shit. Its overly serious dogshit.

Mech Assault was were it was at.

But that game has been out in japan since August. Do you not understand the definition of cancelled?

Didn't say I want it, just that it looked interesting on the same level as Renegade.

You have to be 18 to post here.

Cuck Army rising.

Technically it was, the original Prey was being developed in-house by 3D Realms, i think it was cancelled because of most of the original team (who worked on Rise of the Triad) leaved at some point and the people who came later didn't knew how to finish the game, the final version of Prey started in 2002/03 and while it used some of the concepts from the previous game it ended up being a different thing.

Where did they get that new footage?

That's a plate carrier you noguns faggots. Soft kevlar flak vests that you see cops and journalists wear are only designed to protect against spall, shrapnel and low velocity small arms munitions (see: most handguns). What he's wearing is not kevlar, it's a steel or ceramic plate that's designed to keep high velocity rifle rounds out of the wearer's boiler room. Taking a round of 5.56 NATO anywhere on your body is going to ruin your day, but in combat taking a shot to your big fat flabby gut isn't going to stop you from returning fire and being a threat if you've got the will to do so. You may end up succumbing to your wounds ultimately, but for the duration of the firefight you'll still be a threat. On the other hand if you take a shot to the heart/lungs/major artery, you're going to immediately lose bloodpressure, loss of strength and fading of consciousness will come in seconds if not immediately, and cardiac arrest and exsanguination, if your heart is even intact still comes in minutes. That's not to say that the wearer isn't a fucking dipshit for wearing a single purpose plate carrier to a demonstration, but pump your fuckin brakes if you think you're hot shit for thinking that a plate carrier is a improperly sized "bullet-proof vest"

Also just stumble upon this video, wtf this looked awesome.

what pisses me off with this title it had some of the old team silent members working on it.

It's not happening is it Holla Forums

This looks like that one game on the 360 where you had a settlement in a small city with zombies around, can't remember the name.

Also meh, it doesn't look that good. Feels like the main gameplay would become really annoying and that you wouldn't be able to barricade yourself like they show in the video in time if you didn't know something was coming.

Isn't that literally the first thing Trump did in office?

State of Decay, reminds me a lot of State of Decay.

that's the one

yeah, it looks like State of Decay but its was developed before and it had a plot. I dunno, but its obvious its just a demo for seeking publishers.

I dunno but I was sold on the concept of the plot and gameplay mixed together. Since the main protagonist is bit and turns into a zombie at the end probably.

Yeah a PS3 port was planned. I don't know how far they got.

Let's also not forget that Spore as we know it is nothing like Will Wright vision and that EA boiled it down to an evolution simulator with an endless space 4X.

...

Presumably one of the many things EA axed when the neutered the game.

That fucker can not just catch a break, except when it comes to EA for some baffling reason. His mom fucking abandoned him, he lives in China, and now his sister who still lives in america is killed.

who the fuck knows at this point. I wouldn't say no, because Versus 13 happened after, like, a fucking decade, but the real question here is; do you really want one from fucking square enix.

Fuck, that's right. Man, if I ever meet American, I'm giving him a hug. I think he deserves one.

...

That doesn't sound like a trailer for a game with brutal child murder

I guess even the devil feels sorry for McGee.

This is just sad, the story of it of course.

What's the story then, why mention the shit development but not tell us, (you)-hungry cocksucker.

Speaking of Prey and Prey 2, looks like the Bethesda insider was right.

If you JewTube the Prey 2017 ending, it falls exactly in line with what the insider said.

Here you go asshat
Click on it

m8…

...

It was clearly never going to be good though, user. They were proposing making like 5 games in 1 where each had to be good enough to be enjoyable on its own as they had no overlap. From day 1 we were saying it would have to end up shallow because of that but the community had No Man's Sky levels of fanboi going on and they marched right into their disappointment.

They wanted to make a hand to hand combat game and had no idea how to implement that, to say nothing of refining it to souls level.
