B.C.'s cancellation on the original xbox left me devastated back in the day, I had been hyping it heavily for a good while.

When was the first time a game's cancellation pissed you off?
- Thread starter ScOULaris
- Start date
The Mortal Kombat Arcade HD remaster that was announced in 2008 or 2009 IIRC. Tho I was more upset that it was going to be PS3-exclusive since I no longer owned a PS3 at the time.
And again when it was cancelled a second time a few years ago.

Not really, but whenever a japanese Vita game I wanted localized only came over for other platforms it stung.
The biggest one was Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk. I ended up getting it on Switch day one, but man. Another one is Catherine Fullbody. Mind that the japanese version of both (and many others with the same history) ran fine on the Vita.
But still, we had a great run of localizations for a platform that didn't sell tons.

Blizzard has canceled a StarCraft first-person shooter that had been in development for the past two years, according to three people familiar with goings-on at the studio. The main reason, Blizzard told staff, was to put more resources into the Diablo and Overwatch franchises.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
I wouldn't say I was "pissed off" or anything, but I was very disappointed in the cancellation of Prey 2. The demos for that made it look like exactly the type of game I wanted to play.
One that immediately popped into my mind was that Goldeneye HD remaster set to release on the 360. It was almost finished, IIRC
The announcement that Shenmue II wasn't coming to North America really sucked. Happy that EB Games made importing PAL copies super simple. Was happy to get the game for Christmas that holiday season.
i cant find anything about ea having anything to do with the classic battlefront series
Yeah, I think it was booked as uncharted in the star wars universe. The lore is so cool, that game didn't have to quite match the standards of the games it is imitating and can still be a great experience, fallen order proved this.
I was also really looking forward to scale bound. The premise sounded really weird, but I am confident platinum would have pulled out off. A massive fuckup from Microsoft, peeps were looking forward to it and this game world have got them a lot of kudos and made the range of their offering a lot more enticing.
Not a game, but the PS3 delay was the first time I got pissed off with a video game related delay.
Edit: first and only time.

I played the multiplayer demo over and over again at Blizzcon 2005. I remember it being a lot of fun.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
I was so excited to get it and was counting the days, but it got delayed few months. Don't remember exactly how much time it was, but O was so disappointed.
Another one was Killzone 2. Remember it was pushed back from 2008 to 2009, but it actually made 2009 an epic year for PS3. It had so many great games that year.

I wanted it so bad back then :(
Yep, that one pissed me off and hurt me at the same time.
Maybe not cancelled but heavily changed, the RE2.5 game. Silent Hills defo a good one.
Scalebound deserved to die.

Never.
As far as I'm concerned if a game has been cancelled it wasn't good enough for release. - I'm talking about non cartridge games

The only one that comes to mind is Silent Hills but that was less pissed off and more depressed.
I think it was The Dark Knight game that was cancelled in 2008. It probably wasn't going to be all that good, but Pandemic had a solid track record, I loved the film, and an open world Batman game was one of my dream games at the time. Of course, Arkham Asylum ended up happening shortly after, which ultimately led to City, Origins, and Knight, so all was well.
I'd been disappointed before by cancellations, but Star Wars 1313 was on a whole new level for me. Definitely pissed.
Well Shenmue III was never officially canceled back in the day but it disappearing for decades sure hurt that first year or two when it was pretty clear it wasn't gonna happen. But then Yakuza came along and I quickly stopped caring until III actually did happen... and now at least I know Shenmue will never be finished, and neither should it ever be. So I'm cool with the series.
But for a legit cancelation - probably MM Legends 3. Seems like a cruel joke looking back - game never officially gets greenlit yet it sorta gets announced and worked on and then canned... what an odd serious of events that was. Would have been nice to finally get a sequel though I never quite understood why the idea of introducing a new playable character seemed like a good idea...
Oh, and I still miss the various RE iterations of 2 and 4 that never were... I'd love a 1.5 and 3.5 release one of these days (especially over a remake of 4...)
