ITT: Ruin anons day by reminding each other about cancelled games
There was a big budget sequel to Steambot Chronicles/Bumpy Trot on the PS3 and PC. With options to use additional controllers like the rock band ones to play music in a jazz band.
It was cancelled in favour of a waifushit mobage gacha that died within a month of release.
Star Wars games that would have been kickass but will never see the light of day due to incompetence on the part of Lucasarts, as well as Disney's acquisition and subsequent selling of sole game dev rights to EA:
Levi Scott
1313 was going to be Uncharted: Star Wars Edition. KOTOR 3 would have been made by BioWare and BF3 was shaping up to be a mess. Weep for never getting the sequel to Republic Commando, or more Jedi Outcast.

Wyatt Carter
Bioware didn't start to go to shit until after they were bought out by EA and released the first mass effect in 07, and BF3 looked a hell of a lot better than what EA turned it into Fair enough
Fuck, I forgot those were even going to be a thing

Just because you believe it's a meme doesn't mean it's true.
Easton Ross
Sounds pretty ok to me user
Ethan Myers
Shitty corridor shooter with almost zero roleplaying elements, only popular because of monstergirl fetishists and spergs that never read a science fiction book in their lives. Horrible story and horrible gameplay.
Both play like trash and are the same, exact BioWare RPG, one painted Star Wars and the other in Chinese. Both play like the most plebeian of console RPGS, with KOTOR having the distinct honor of being the cringiest piece of fan fiction ever written for Star Wars. Thankfully most people around here aren't children that enjoy playing a Mary Sue.
The gameplay is fun, the rest is just garbage. Also, Black Isle did all the heavy lifting for BioWare, hence why BG1 and 2 aren't complete trash.

It was cancelled because their headquarters got completely fucked up by a huge earthquake and they couldn't continue development you dumbfuck

Sorry for double posting last one. Getting an invalid password error when I try to delete it.
It makes sense, seeing as there are 3 goddesses. Ages centered on Nayru. Seasons centered on Din. But the third game for Farore never happened.

Slightly offtopic, but what games do have really nice large and spooky forests?

Jade Empire is a little better than KOTOR I think, the setting is at least a novelty, and the concept behind the open palm and closed fist system is a bit more compelling than your standard good and evil morality bar. even if they only utilize it as it should be used like three times and the twist with your mentor is well executed.
Nolan Diaz
Ace Combat Rising never ever.

The third Oracle game only really got cancelled because they couldn't figure out a good natural way to link three games together and have it work.

This looks like it would give people motion sickness after a while.
It still hurts. I'll never forget how upset I was when I learned that instead of KOTOR 3 we were getting an MMORPG of all fucking things. I'm glad BioWare is dying. Can't happen soon enough.

Why? Also didn't some user have a prototype of the game they said they could backward engineer? What happened to that? I remember Reddit and Kotaku whistleblowing that so EA probably stepped in.

What about games that were murdered?

Supposedly rogue squadron 2 is still in some sort of legal hell,so,keep on hope.
Brayden Rivera
I was excited for it because there was supposed to be an Imperial campaign. It's the closest I'll ever get to the glory of TIE Figther, but I know they're going to fuck that shit up because we can't have the goyim playing as the good guys, they might get funny ideas about shoahing the merchants.
Charles Morgan
It's gone, and never's never coming back.
And for what? More server space for the Aion botfarm.
Isn't it nice to know that a game so widely loved by actual players, got killed in favor of a gook game that isn't even actually played by people?
David Rodriguez
Nothing of value was lost tbh. DCUO is better in every regard, except for maybe monetization.

user! You stay away from [my dreams], you son of a bitch. You have no right taking her from me like that, you womanizing rapist! And if you go near her again, then I will find you! I will find you, I will cut you up, I will beat you up, I will knock you on your backside, stand on your gut like a log roller, and blow your fat right through your skull! Blowin' it wide open!
Because that's what you deserve, you Goddamn womanizing, raping…trollin' stupid, pickle-suited…
NIGGER!
And don't you ever, don't you dare contact me in my E-mail again, or contact me ever! You stay away from me- You stay away from me and contact. Don't call me… I will find you!
Brody Bailey
I somehow lost a bit of hope I didn't know I had.
Christian Brown
I always get a little sad when I remember that, OP. Steambot chronicles was a favorite game from my childhood and all I wanted was to impregnate Connie's mom. Truly she was best girl.
That was such a fun little game and let you put so much personality in your character, you could join the BBEG half way through, be a total ass or a saint. It had fucking days, days of sidequests. So many sidequests they're not all even accounted for in various walkthroughs years and years later. This game was a real diamond in the rough, sure in the really really rough but it was still great. The way trotmobiles controlled was so fucking fun. If you didn't cheese all your fights with the minigun it was really an experience.
Christopher Richardson
After capcom released capcom vs snk 2 there was a bunch of talk of a arksys vs capcom that never happened.

In some way I'm not even mad these game weren't made because I can't name a single good and fun TPS platformer with realistic graphics
Jace Morris
as long as they dont actually name it jak 4
Anthony Evans
It's for the best that got cancelled.
Mason Wilson
There was going to be a Mistborn RPG. I wanted it so bad.
The second trilogy on that planet was so dissapointing overall. At least Way of Kings is still pretty solid.
Samuel Phillips
I just remembered, there was going to be a Maximo 3 It was going to be edgy, but with the benefit of hindsight, probably in a good way
Nathaniel Hall
Too bad the first Toot Human sucked
Michael Smith

Hudson Sanchez
They ended up releasing a pen and paper RPG system that's pretty solid and easy enough to learn, but they really shit the bed when it came to making vidya and now they're never going to try again.

This triggers the Kojimadrone.

Kayden Smith
I'm a kojima drone and I think platinum version is much better than what was shown on fox engine. If anything you can use cyberninja sword and it would play more or less like that. I'm also platinum drone and yoko drone. I'm living in the best timeline tbh.
Hudson Edwards
NWN1 and NWN2 Base campaigns look like diamonds compared to EA zombie bioware turds. Original dragon age had dialogue trees and actual conversations in camp. Conversations in current bioware games are x or y choose your path. HORRAY.
Carter Richardson
.>>13857742 Paired with MGS5 facing further delays under his direction, it is also the most likely reason Kojima got shitcanned. Two unfinished major projects in a row.
Also funny how games he takes less directorial control over turn out better. Pic related.
Parker Myers
The second Star Wars Vidya Golden Age cancelled for the Battlefront remakes and the new Star Wars trilogy.
James Ross
I liked MGS5. As unfinished as it was it's still one of the best games of the decade. Can't wait for Death Stranding.
Justin Murphy
ye
Nathaniel Campbell
This is bait.
Tyler Hall
Overwatch has a similar concept, and the personality is the exact same as in Overstrike's original trailer. Maybe some of the writers for this one moved onto Blizzard or something
Juan Sanchez
In all honesty that makes sense as they are both games called "over" for no reason. I wish overwatch was owari desu. Still, acitivision aka blizzard probably has all these dev lore resources out there too research in order to find the truth to your idea. Fuck if I'll look in to it.
Parker Gray
More like kidnapped, brainwashed which then turned them into a completely different individual with none of their original and liked identity traits left.
Overwatch was made from elements of Blizzard scapped Project Titan. I think it just ended up being a coincidence.
Michael Wood
If it continued to exist to this day, I can almost guarantee it would turn into something most of Holla Forums would hate. Funny how a game about superheroes got to die as a hero.

Daily reminder that Epic's recently released Fortnite was billed as cosmetic only f2p for years before launch Daily reminder that it came out to be a 100% pay2win lootbox based game Daily reminder that once they got their initial funding from people who enjoyed the PvE they stopped updating it with anything but reskins Daily reminder that now it's just a knockoff of PUBG that actually used "it's basically PUBG but it's free" in its marketing Daily reminder that Epic has always been full of money hungry perpetually buttblasted jews

Good. You wouldn't hear anons crying about Fallout 3 (the ZeniMax one) being cancelled, would you?

How about games that came out after being forcibly altered against the developer's will like Fracture?
Cooper Ortiz
Pick one and only one.
Kevin Nelson
Fuck you.
William Edwards
Okay I didn't know I wanted that, but I really want that. That sounds cool as shit
Lucas Diaz
Portable Ops is the one Kojima didn't have any involvement in. Peace Walker was a game he was very involved in the development of, and was meant to be his apology for letting the retarded chimpanzees he used to wrangle at KojiPro run loose and shit out PO. Although apparently he didn't learn his fucking lesson until 5 years later, when he barely managed to salvage Rising by snatching it out of those chromosome hoarders' hands and passing the buck to Platinum.
Nathan Johnson
Is that second image a screenshot of it? I saw the game when it came out but like you it failed on any level to draw me in. That image looks so cheesy that it might as well be out of a 90s FMV game.
Brody Rodriguez
The image is for the actual prey 2 that was canned to make the new one.
Jaxon Adams

Andrew Ramirez
In a recent interview with Taro he said one of the reasons Automata turned out so well was due to all the talented young people working on it together at Platinum and their open discussion of its design rather than having a sole "leader" that makes all the decisions. This is typically the case with all of the best creators out there: they rely on others to hone their ideas to make something great. Look at George Lucas- he got so high off his own farts for how successful Star Wars was he decided that he was king shit and everything he made was gold. He took complete control over the story without feedback, and surprise surprise, it turned out fucking awful. In the same interview he was asked if any of his ideas had been immediately been shot down- apparently he originally wanted a real life J-Pop Idol to descend from the sky and be the final boss of the original Drakengard. I shit you not.
The reason why Yoko Taro is still such a great developer is because he doesn't let his ego grow with his popularity, unlike a huge number of has-beens that once made something great but now only produce crap.

Christian Morgan
Thank god almighty.
James Price
Thats a big shame. What happened to it? Did they pull the plug because they couldn't add loot boxes and micro transactions?
Jayden Bailey
it never got past the tech demo stage.
Kayden Campbell
youtu.be/0a78kzAffb4 what this game could have been, anti grav grenades, energy lasso, fast parkour tier movement, hunting down alien scum on the dark side of the moon
Aiden Turner
Fuck Fuse and fuck EA. I hope they were kicking themselves after they saw Overwatch succeed when they could have done something like that way before Overwatch was ever even thought off.
Angel White
The whole "little girl in a surreal Japanese suburb" setting mixed with that comfy elevator music is giving me a heavily appreciated Umihara Kawase vibe, but the core gameplay premise does seem pretty lackluster. Can't say I'm surprised, sadly.
Adrian Moore
Still looks awkward, gimmicky, and not as fun as the 2D games. It better captures the vibe of classic Sonic. I'll give them that. Although so does 3D Blast, and no one likes that game.
Hunter Russell
Fuck you, the Saturn version was awesome
Jose Thompson
I actually kind of like 3D Blast, but the common consensus is that it's shit.
Josiah Hall
Tell me about it
Brayden Gomez
Oh, you thought I was going to let this thread die on this high of a note? Nah. I come bearing great pain and suffering and to basically run you life with another installment of "what the fuck why would they cancel that, that looks really fucking cool?". According to the numbers not many people knew of it when it was on kickstarter and they never got that outside investment they were seeking so its probably dead forever, the most views, any 1 video of it, got on youtube was 300k which is minuscule by any standards they were pretty shitty at marketing from what I remember. I present: Project Awakened steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=126109020 youtube.com/results?search_query=project awakened
Man I posted this so many times someone else is posting it now. At least I know I am not the only one who feels pain about this game being cancelled there are at least 2 other people this pains.
Austin Watson
I remember this, I was looking for a game like prototype with even more powers and shit and this looked so promising. What a shame.
Robert Morgan
THIS is the Battlefront we could've been playing.
Julian Phillips
Yep, I found it years ago before their while was fucking about on cuckchan Holla Forums that was probably like 2010, a few years later again on cuckchan there was finally saw some sort of prototype starting to take form and they tried a kickstarter, I remember upon seeing the kickstarter pitch I literally said out loud to my self "there is no way that is not going to be funded, its looks unique and I hope that they are able to make something good out of it when its funding get fulfilled" I was so certain, it just seemed so inevitable. I don't get hyped and I never have but this is one of very few games that have ever almost got me close to that point, thinking back there were some threads on old Holla Forums discussing it and the prevailing opinion was that it was likely going to be funded, basically to be cautiously optimistic and that even if they do an okay job of implementing some of their ideas that it would probably be an above average game, a few people in a few of the threads even backed the game.
Its a real fucking shame, you are right. Feels real fucking bad man. It actually took me quite a while to even find this game when I was looking to post it, there was virtually no notable internet presence for this game or the devs no videos articles and the kickstarter page seems to be gone. So I can kinda understand why it failed. Luckily I remembered the word "project" in the title, or its possible this game could have just been swallowed by the deep end of the internet forever and forgotten to the sands of time. God know fucking "superhero kickstarter" or "hero kickstarter" it didnt even fucking show up in the results at all.
Levi Murphy
Holy fucking shit look at this fucking video! This video is 9 fucking years old, jesus fucking christ time fucking flies sometimes.
James White
Anyone remember Getaway and Getaway: Black Monday for the PS2? The first game was the most expensive game ever developed at the time of its release, and if I'm right wasn't beaten until GTA V 11 years later. Anyway, I digress. There was supposed to be a third part releasing sometime around 2007 that never, ever came to fruition for godknows what reason why. It certainly looked impressive, though we'll never know for sure how it would have played. Same team that would go on to develop the similarly eternally-delayed Eight Days, by the way.
Gotta bigger image? Also, I found this. Notice the bottom right-hand corner….

Luke Morales
I just realized that Capcom is responsible for what happened to MML3 and for what is happening with DD.
Julian Rivera
techland is basically dead in the water. they had to give away development of DI2 and that died on impact.
Adam King
so it would have been a souls precursor in that it had instanced mp? seems alright.
lucasarts had an in-house production of battlefront 3 ready to go, just needed polishing. free radical's version was pretty completed too iirc but needed way more time being polished.
Bentley Wilson
And you boil it down to pic related.
Blake Collins
I know it got consolidated into SC2, but I wanted a real Ghost game.
Matthew Evans
Gotta say, it doesn't look terrible. It will never live up to the hype and promises, but there's a small possibility we might actually get an alright game out of it all.
Jaxon Robinson
at least the Imperial Agent storyline was good
John Morales
Remember that one time when somebody on Reddit destroyed an Xbox devkit?
Remember that other time when somebody else returned the Starcraft source code to Blizzard?
Daniel Cox
The good should die young.
Adrian Cook
The reason he wears the mask in is fact to counter him getting an ego and allow every journalist, young or old, new or veteran to approach him. Taro has been doing this since his Drakengard days and has stated he feels its important to do. Overall Taro, does have the mindset to be an extremely great project lead and this likely came from how troubled some of the earlier games in his series were. Furthermore he is extremely humble.
You're an actual idiot. Kojima has problems with his writing but as a director for games he's pretty solid and despite a lust for cut-scenes heavily advocates for good and solid gameplay. If you wanna shit on him at least know your shit. Peace Walker, was a title he was heavily involved with as an apology for Portable Ops which was reportedly utter garbage. He directed PW and was heavily inspired by his son playing Monster Hunter. So, no. Pic NOT related.
Next we have the fact Rising was ORIGINALLY done without him having any input over the project but as the team began having extreme problems with designing the game (Long stretches of time with no real progress in the project.) Kojima decided to pass the torch to Platinum who within a year made Rising. Something we can all agree was a good decision.

Nice mask, Carlos.
Julian Taylor
Maybe for the better. The story was a fucking mess. Of course it wasn't Bethesda's Fallout 3 tier bad. I'm still angry at Fallout 2 for going full meme pop-culture references all the time. Wacky shit can be fun in moderation but Black Isle went overboard with that stuff.
Juan Lopez
Considering its existence would wipe Bethesda's FO3 from existence, no.
Oliver Turner
I wonder if Disney could get pissed off enough at EA that they could pull this out of limbo and release it?
Gabriel Scott
This user is correct Bioware was never good, merely mediocre
Carter Long
Wasn't stalker 2 a scam?
Dominic Morales
No.
But many scams promised to be a spiritual successor to Stalker.
Cameron Wood
Was it different to the New Vegas story?
Luke Gomez
What a missed opportunity, that would've been hilarious and amazing.
Ian Butler
Did Deep Down really got canned? I never heard anything from that game in a while. What really happened to that game?
Justin Bell
No one knows, I don't think it's been mentioned since it's been announced.
Christopher Hill
I faintly remember some info after the announcement. Like how the game was going to be free-to-play and it was going to take place in the future where the player go into a some VR machine to go into a fantasy world or something like that.
