What currently-announced games have a high chance of becoming vaporware?

I'm kinda confused how a game with continual updates could ever be vaporware? It's "out" already. It's not done but it exists.

Yeah with BG&E2, as soon as they said "This is Day 0 of development" after showing the trailer, I thought, "yep, that game is never coming out."
Left Alive.
They released a half dozen screen shots this week, but no video since the announcement at last year's E3. Also it's still set to release this year, which is a bad sign when there's barely anything to show.
If it does end up releasing, it'll be quiet with zero fanfare or marketing I think.

The game I paid for five fucking years ago doesn't exist and therefore isn't "out." It belongs firmly in the vaporware bucket.
That last soul aside game from that 1dude.
Im not sure why but I dont see it ever materializing.

Coming after crackdown 3.
Can you technically call Star Citizen that, since you are able to spend lots of money on it already?
You can also call it a scam.
Speaking of Atlus, whatever happened to 13 Sentinels. Was announced like 3 years ago and theres been nothing at all in the last year and its supposed to be out this year?
Dreams will release. It's pretty much done. I do wonder if they're thinking of making it a ps5 exclusive though for strategy reasons. It's a system seller for a certain demographic.

Are you asking if Star Citizen is "still being written or designed"?
Good luck if you are trying to redefine not being vapourware as "being able to crowdfund"
Edited: said opposite of what I meant

They scrapped the first person section, huge parts of the game's foundation aren't finished and may never be. Just because they have the audacity to sell ships worth hundreds of dollars doesn't make it more than it currently is.
Golem, the PSVR exclusive from Marty O'Donnell's new studio. The silence surrounding that game has become deafening.
I haven't seen Wattam in a while, and I feel like that was announced at least 3 years ago. I could be wrong, but it's a game I've been curious about for a while and I hope to see it out sooner rather than later. I doubt it's "vaporware", but the fact that that game still is not out at this point has me scratching my head a bit.

The first line of it being available for purchase because you clearly can buy whatever fuck they want to call their Alpha. The whole concept of "Early Access" has clearly changed the idea of what vaporware can be.
It was supposed to be out this year for like 3 years now. We'll probably see the same footage again at TGS, as is tradition.
Wait, the first person portion has been scrapped? That's a shame. Is there anywhere I can go for actual Star Citizen news? I'm not backer but I am still interested in the game.
Nothing is being "invented" . The game I was told I was backing does not exist yet. If you don't want to accept that, I can't make you face reality.
I can't say about those other games, but I highly doubt these are vaporware.
There are some threads on it, but if you want actual news, talk to the Discord. All you're gonna get on the main page is superficial trolling.
This is about as likely to become vaporware at this point as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

I may be wrong about that, so don't take my word for it. Star Marine, a FPS thing, was released in 2015, but all news and posts about it are from 2/3 years ago so idk if it's still in active development.
I would check the subreddit or find out through there. It's kinda muddled finding how what's happening.
Oh shit I forgot all about Wild. Looked great when they first showed it and it seemed like a good portion of it was done. Now 3 years later we haven't seen a thing.
Yeah Agent ain't happening. I think we saw it in MP3 and GTAV.

I suppose it's changed it a little, selling demos for cash instead of giving demos of progress (or lack of) to genuine investors. But if a game never reaches a retail state, I don't know how it is exempt from being vapourware.
