The lights are on
Earlier today, we dove into the Game Informer archives and fished out the first information we ever received on StarCraft Ghost. To this day, many gamers quietly pine for Nova’s adventure. While the title isn’t officially canceled (just on indefinite hold), the most we’re likely to see of Nova is the upcoming MOBA Heroes of the Storm.
That got us thinking about other canceled games that had a lot of potential. Which forgotten title do you lament the most? Perhaps you wistfully gaze at the Star Wars 1313 trailer. It could be one of the many canceled Fallout games. Maybe you’re a devout Mega Man fan and were crushed when Capcom canceled the mashup title Mega Man Universe.
Let us know which title your heart aches for the most. Who knows, you might find kindred spirits in the comment section.
Star Fox 2. IT was practically complete! Thankfully, the hackers managed to fill in the gaps, but one can only imagine where the series would have went had SF2 came before SF64
Megaman Legends 3.
Star Wars 1313. That game looked so damn good.
Mega Man Legends 3.
Poor Tron just wasn't allowed to put that thieving brother-loving nut Roll in her place. That alone would have meant day one buy. :(
Mega man universe.. Not only because it was cancelled. But, because the actual game play looked nothing like the debut trailer.. I was expecting Little Big Planet like graphics and similar game play mechanics, in a Mega Man universe. What I saw was, very disappointing game play and then the game eventually got cancelled... So much potential wasted. It could have been a great mega man game "IF" the actual game played and looked like the debut trailer lead on to insinuate.... :(
B.C. from lionhead studios i think it was , it was supost to be a original xbox game, i remember it having a preview in one of the first issues of gi i'd ever read and it sounded amazing , i'll never forgot how great it looked concept wise.
Trials of Ascension MMO
Could've changed gaming for good ;_;
Heavenly Sword 2
Both Capcom games: RE2 Remake, and Megaman Legends 3.
Megaman Legends 3 *sniff*
Earthbound 64. It sounded really cool until they had the whole mysterious cancellation drama. I never got to play mother 3, but it seemed dissapointing because it wasn't in 3d and it didn't have many new features. It was a great, innovative idea that never happened and sadly probably never will. May it rest in peace.
They pitched and didn't greenlight a Jet Grind Radio game for the Wii. The concept art that got put out looked so cool. All I want is a new Jet Grind Radio.
Megaman Online.
That Tom Clancy game that was featured on so many magazines and stuff. Is that coming out still or no?
SUIKODEN !!!!!!! That is all.
SOCOM!
There was a tactical-srpg in the works called "Chaos Chronicles" which looked amazingly fun to me. I love tactic based rpgs, loved Final Fantasy Tactics and Disgaea among others, and it seems like lately there has been a huge lack of care from developers to bring these gems into the next generation. But I know there is a huge player base out there that would love an updated tactics rpg.
Well Chaos Chronicles looked quite promising, like a mix of planescape: torment dungeon wandering and grid based combat like FF:Tactics. I was ecstatic, and very quickly disappointed when they cancelled it. Biggest letdown of the year.
