8 Cancelled Games We Still Want to Play

Surprised Dungeon Keeper III isn't on the list.
I still remember seeing the trailer for it in DK2.... I think I'm going to cry myself to sleep now.

Personally I'd of tossed Mega Man Legends 3 on there, or as it might be known...
"The game Capcom cancelled just so they could snub and tell off Inafune one last time after he left".
By all report, the game was actually pretty darn great. There was a journalist that managed to get ahold of the "Paid Demo" Capcom promised to release (then never did), and had said it contained some 3-4 hours of content and actually handled and played great. I was involved happily on the servbot program they had there, was a really early number, but a glitch occurred later on that reset plenty of people's service numbers and replaced them by treating em as if they were brand new. When Inafune left Capcom, the team was to continue on and, as things have played out, Capcom had refused his offer to stick around and help with the game, telling him only "we got it covered". Which led to it being canned barely a few months later.
They always had a habit of stifling creativity, punishing it even, and if a project they hated (like Dead Rising 1) works, they are more than happy to show the creative force the big finger by ripping control away from them; see Devil May Cry 2, or Mega Man X6. The only decent individual left there now is Yoshinori Ono (Mr. Street Fighter, also Darkstalkers), and I wish he'd leave them for a better company already. Capcom is a festering pit of s***, and deserves the hole they slithered and and crawled into blindly. It's one of the only studios I'd be happy to see dead.
It's also why Asura's Wrath had the "finale DLC", because the game didn't meet their bloated set of milestones, and thus refused to have AW 2 be made. Say what you will about that game, but Asura's Wrath was pure fun, even if it was painfully short. I'd of been happy to pay to see that game allowed to expand and develop itself further.

I didn't see True Fantasy Live Online for The Original Xbox on that list.
....
Oh well, at least Elder Scrolls Online is coming to PS4.

I never heard anything about it, but I'm assuming that is the sequel to republic commando?MrCollins said:
if so, dear god...I would do horrid things to get ahold of that game.
OT: nice to see one star wars game get some attention..but battlefront 3 is at the top of my list, the alpha footage they had released looked EXACTLY how i wanted it to: an updated battlefront 2 with new worlds and more to do. Why oh why couldn't have EA just taken what was there, and finish it? I'm really afraid "battlefront" is just going to be battlefield 5:star wars skin edition! and I'm going to burn EA to the ground with the fire in my eyes for that atrocity.
I looked at the Last Guardian, and I almost included a note as to why it wasn't on there. It's coming, I tell you.Silvanus said:
Battlefront, man. I hope EA/DICE don't muck that one up.gmaverick019 said:
The reason I picked 1313 is that I SO wanted to play through Boba Fett's rise to awesome bounty hunter. I was sold on that one.
after all of EA and Dice's recent blunders, I've given up all hope it'll be anything like battlefront 1 and 2. (not to mention all the buttloads of DLC I'm sure they'll try and flounder in there...)ffronw said:
Conquest mode? 9.99!
sniper clone trooper? unlock for 99 cents!
space battles? day one DLC!
I know battlefront was based off of battlefield..but to me, I can barely put one maybe two hours into battlefield, tops. Battlefront 2? I've put over 1000 hours into that game and still will pick it up every once in a while.
can't blame you for the 1313 inclusion, I didn't get TOO much into the footage when it was "supposed" to come out, but I was looking forward to reviews if it did come out.
I still want to see the Duke Nukem Forever that George Broussard originally conceived, not the thing that actually turned up.
Starcraft: Ghost spent so long as vapourware that it wasn't until now I realised it had actually been officially cancelled. Sad times.

Here's the crazy thing about Ghost. I spent two whole hours checking it out at E3 2005. Talked to Blizzard folks about it, played a demo, got into it. Then it went on hiatus, and then....nothing. No one knew it was officially cancelled until late last year.Kinitawowi said:
Well, you could always play the... damnit, I can't even joke about it! That mobile piece of crap still pisses me off!Gutsripper said:
Yeah, I remember that trailer as well. Still, once War for the Overworld finishes, that may prove to be the sequel we were waiting for.
That's some old wounds you're opening there. Old indeed.
Oh Shenmue, where were you going with that intriguing ending at the 2nd game? 12...chapters damnit!
Anymoo, glad to see that Beyond good and evil 2 isn't completely stamped out yet. As for that steampunk batman game, knowing that was a thing...that existed...
...and now, just ...doesn't...?
Fighting. Back. Tears!

One that I'm thinking of is Mercenaries 3. The studio folded and I'm not even sure who owns the rights to the franchise anymore. It just seems like something that could be pretty interesting with one of the new engines like Frostbite.
"It was hard when we canceled Warcraft Adventures. It was hard when we canceled StarCraft Ghost. But it has always resulted in better-quality work."
Yes, yes... Like Destiny.
And before you say that Destiny was made by Bungie, Blizzard and Bungie are both employed (more like enslaved) by Activision. They get the same stupid marching orders.
