Canceled/vaporware games that still sting?
- Thread starter wafflebrain
- Start date
every Rare game prototyped and canceled in the late Nintendo/early MS era. wish they'd put some of those prototypes in Rare Replay
I miss when Donkey Kong was treated as one of Nintendo's flagship franchises. I imagine this game would have been a lot of fun.
Just Play Balan Wonderland for those Sonic adventure feels
Rockstar's Agent. Formally announced, never formally cancelled, and the most they've shown so far is a logo.
It's still listed as coming to the PS3.
Slightly OT but for some reason in the last couple of months I thought Agent was a Square Enix property and it just kinda rolled into Hitman. Didn't realize it was Rockstar Games
A direct sequel to River City Ransom was announced for WiiWare, then went NoWhere. Luckily the series has seen quite a few good RCR-like entries in recent years anyway.
I think Cry On's cancellation still stings because at the time I was just so freaking ready for more Mistwalker games after playing Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey like... one right after another.
Prey 2 was another one. I mean I bought "Prey," but Prey 2 always sounded more interesting to me (one day I'll actually play the new Prey game... maybe, lol).
I did not know about all this shit, though. Wow.

Whoa, I never knew about this. Gonna have to do some research on it.
It was only months away from release... 22 years later still stings lol.
Oh damn. I remember the one kickstarter thingy they were doing. I honestly didn't pay much attention to it though. I didn't know they did two.

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Crazy
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Crazy was a planned installment of the Super Monkey Ball series. It was cancelled before its final release. The game was rumored to be announced at E3 2003, and that it would be released in 2004. It was widely believed to have allowed for LAN support, allowing...

18 years later and we still don't have a proper Super Monkey Ball 3.
The one bit I remember being detailed was that you held a torch in your hand and could use it to influence the world, swinging it at rats to clear a path, etc. It seemed like a reasonable marriage of the system's form factor with the genre.
Montpellier team is still fully on it though (+ some frop Paris)
If the Deus Ex that we aren't getting counts as cancelled, that one. Everything else is far enough in the past.
Actually, Van Buren too.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Sadness, Scalebound, Star Wars 1313. The sad thing is Versus XIII was my dream FF, mature and melancholic vibe and Scalebound was probably my dream game, the combination of Kamiya, action combat and a fucking dragon, I would buy a Xbox just for this.
P.S: Lost Soul Aside is yet to be cancelled, but I'm losting hope :(

The game that Microsoft teased at E3 2013 developed by Black Tusk before they became The Coalition. Had a Splinter Cell like vibe to it.
I believe it was code-named "Shangheist". Though I believe that Phil Spencer once said that TC could back to do it at any time. But I also remember Matt Booty saying that if TC wants to branch-out of Gears, they could "have that conversation".

If you've been around long enough, yes you are supposed to know. Lol.....
I'm sad that it took three pages to see this game referenced :(
I was disappointed with this at the time, and I recall it being a case of pretty rotten studio management, but on the plus side this and Scalebound saved me the price of an Xbox One.
True fantasy live online, it was the first MMO in was excited to play

15th post in the thread and numerous times after that, the people want it!!!! Capcom plz
Geoff Keighley did a GTTV episode about this. I still remember this one. haha
That's pretty cool looking. Who was developing this?I regularly think about Sega Blast Heroes. Apparently it was eventually released as Guardian Tales, a stand alone game with no reference to Sega whatsoever. But I want the Sega crossover.
Picassio.
I love heist movies so the idea of a Thomas Crown Affair styled stealth/heist game was something I was super stoked for.

This was the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title. I am still salty that not only it was cancelled, but that it wasn't released in any form in any other console.
Almost everything I was thinking of already got posted, so only other one that comes to mind is Coded Arms Assault. Probably was a good reason to cancel it, but still was going to check it out since I enjoyed the PSP game. Just weird that they seemed to put a lot of effort in the presentation.
It was only a teaser, but it hyped me a lot for some reason. I remember being super mad when it got cancelled.
The original Rayman Raving Rabbids. Not because it necessarily would've been that amazing of a game, but because I was a huge Rayman fan as a kid when it was announced and the gap between what was shown off and what we got... it hurt.
