Damn, so much this.
Lots of people posting Star Wars 1313, but the fact that this Star Wars game never came out - has haunted me since it leaked all the way back in 2008. My best buddy and I played the SHIT out of (old) Battlefront 2, from when it came out, all the way through University. We'd set up our laptops between classes and play LAN games on mod maps (the modding community for that game was insanely awesome) - friends would come by and they'd be like "why are you playing this old game" etc. - but it was our game. Anyway, I remember a night back in 2008 (before University), we were talking about a hypothetical Battlefront 3, questioning where it was, etc. I google it for the hell of it and I'm suddenly hit with the below video. We both went nuts, we couldn't believe what we were seeing - and I think it was literally the day after this leaked, that it was confirmed to have been cancelled. It was like two incredibly powerful emotions, each one at the opposite end of the spectrum, and we had felt them within like 12 hours of each other. Instant joy, instant sadness - and I'm still sad about it.
Oh god where to begin...
prey 2
armada of the damned
And the original vision for enemy front, which was being made by the creator of black and was supposed to be a more arcadey and less serious experience from what I remember. They even planned to have modifiers, such as choosing to have a health pack system or a regenerating health system, plus other choices that I can't quite remember. It looked like it was going to be very my like inglorious bastards, and it's a shame it got turned into something super generic and uninspired. Wonder what Stuart Black is up to these days.
Speaking of inglorious bastards, brothers in arms furious four looked amazing as well, and it's a shame it got turned into battleborne (which is soon to be rip).

Agent
Whore of the Orient
Indiana Jones game for 360
The three that come to mind. I'm sure there are a few others I'm forgetting.

The main game I'm bummed about would be Silent Hills. PT was insane, and I would have loved to see the full vision with all of the people involved.
Second would probably be either Scalebound or Starcraft Ghost.

For my birthday I had to choose between a PlayStation and N64. I choose the N64 for Earthbound 64.
Came to say this. I followed it from its announcement in 2012 to missing the 2017 release and then just completely disappeared :(
This is Vegas: it looked like a weird, American version of the Yakuza games which I am entirely on-board with.

Do you mean the initial trailer? Or the Game Awards demo?
If the latter, did you ever see this video from us? Might help with your issue a bit haha
Edit: Nm i missed that you linked to the original trailer. I can't help you there haha
Games we know were in active development:
Lord of the Rings: The White Council
Star Wars Battlefront 3
Dream games:
Obsidian's KOTOR 3
Star Wars: Republic Commando 2
EDIT: Star Wars 1313 never really interested me, seemed like a fairly boring 'triple A action game', but it still would've been nice if it had released to have something different out of Star Wars again than 'lightsaber'-games.

Was that lightsaber fighting in a new game? I don't recall that in any of the RS games...
1. Silent Hills
2. Mega Man Legends 3
3. Castlevania 1999 Julius/Final Dracula Battle before Soma game.
4. That open-world Kirby game that would have have been a fully realized Blowout Blast with power ups:
5. And finally, the console port of Hydra Castle Laybrinth that was teased to be coming to Switch along with 1001 Spikes (that never came to Switch either though), and Cave Story. Polygon did a video showcasing all three games on the system a few years ago:
It was said the game would have been reworked with added stages and everything, so I was really looking forward to it. It may still come around, since the character was in that puzzle fighter like game, but...I won't hold my breath.

Overstrike
Silent Hills
Shadow of the Eternals
Scalebound
Half-Life 3 (though there is hope now).

Prey 2's pitch sounded amazing. Even better when all got spilled after the debauchery.
After that, Agent i suppose, but after their heavily scripted/less and less systemic design in their last few titles, my interest has come down actually.

Diddy Kong Racing 2 / Donkey Kong Racing. The GTA type gameplay sounded incredible and it's predecessor already felt like it was toying with the concept of dismounting from your kart judging by the neat intro/ending sequences.
I thoroughly watched the analysis for both! Many times! I also remember listening to the discussions where Ash was positive that after showing Zelda at The Game Awards it proved the Wii U was not dead lol. I also remember watching the 7 minute analysis of the 15 second clip we got after the Twilight Princess HD announcement where you (correctly) predicted stealth elements due to the grass.
Specifically though I have memories of watching the analysis of the original trailer where you guys zoomed in on all of the artifacts like the pyramid and the interesting trees and the villagers and the wooden stand and you all made the Mononoke comparisons. There were so many points of interest in that scene and we also had the quote from Aonuma that you could go to the mountains furthest in the distance which in the first trailer are just incredibly far away. That quote led me to believe that was the final world. It had been three full years since Skyward Sword after all and they had started development before that game had even shipped. After the game awards trailer I knew the world had changed though, and that kind of broke my heart because I had spent hours thinking about and getting ready to explore the world shown in the initial trailer.
Yes they were going to have legit 1:1 motion lightsaber fights with the wii remote. They said they actually had it working really well.
The real kicker is that this game was done and ready to release then Factor 5 went under and all the Disney stuff happened. Factor 5 people have stated that they could still easily port this game to Switch and have it ready in a matter of a couple months. It is somewhere on a hard drive just waiting to be released. I still have some hope. Maybe Nintendo could step in and offer some money to Disney and EA to make it happen as an exclusive.
Oh yeah, used to follow it as well back in the day. What the hell happened to it?
For me, it was the canceled Naomi/Dreamcast game by Treasure called Gun Beat. It looked super quirky and fun, basically Treasure's take on Mario Kart and it looked fantastic. Apparently around this time Treasure's main programmer left the company so it's kind of a shame the game never came to fruition.
