Games That Were Announced But Never Released

[jacobythehedgehog]

Shenmue 3 was never released which really really sucks

FUCK THE PC PEOPLE.

At first it seemed like that but they released a follow up statement saying that it was a mis-translation and they are still trying to make a PC version, but it's a pain in the arse doing it because of trying to protect against piracy and yada yada yada.

What about the Future Solider thing? They haven't retracted that as far as I know

That's what I'm talking about.

No one has stated the obvious?

Half Life 3, of course.

Back in the amiga/c64 times there was a very unique robot game called Paradroid. Somehow, a tiny company called Jester Interactive managed to buy the IP rights, started a game, and never finished. Yet another situation of "why would they do that?" franchise murdering.



I almost instinctively said Duke Nukem Forever, but can't use that joke anymore.

Interstellar Marines
I know there are some small games on their website, but that looked like a very fun game.

Also, Episode 3

TimeSplitters 4

Not enough FPSs have monkeys in them

I've seen other games get announced, made and shipped and even new franchises set up, and still nothing on VS 13.

So yeah, Versus 13 seems to be heading the way of the Dodo...

Yeah, even though I don't even have a PS3 I really hate Squeenix for just forgetting about that game. It would have made me seriously consider buying a PS3 for it. Those guys really need to get their heads out of their arses and just do what they say they're going to do!

Wasn't there going to be a PSP Oblivion? I think I read that in a PSM years ago and I about lost it.

Yup there was, but they gave up on it.

Speaking of Star Fox, it would have been awesome if Nintendo had decided to release Star Fox 2 for the SNES. The game was basically finished, but they decided to pull the plug and focus their marketing efforts on the upcoming Star Fox 64 instead. It's a real shame too, because the game boasted some awesome features that the N64 version lacked, such as choosing to be a team member other than Fox and being able to turn your Arwing into a walking mech at the press of a button.

This. Quite unfortunate that they decided to butch this at the last minute. It would have probably made the series gain more ground had this been released. Still remains one of Nintendo's lesser franchises.

Beyond Good & Evil 2. Beyond Good & Evil 2. Beyond Good & Evil 2. I had to say that three times just to show how much I want it.

Exactly the same for me lol, I have a 360, but if that game was even hinted at ever actually coming out I would have considered keeping my ps3 for it... Oh well lol, any hype has died along with the game, cause all of those thing I mention in my post were done by Squeenix lol, and now 13-2 is coming out before it!

Yeah, so much for the Fabula Nova Crystallis.

Kingdom Hearts 3. I was a bright eyed, impressionable young lad when I played the 2nd game. Now, im a cynical git who gets very grumpy about the state of modern gaming.

SEE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME SQUARE????

Tiberium.

It was going to be an FPS in the C&C Tiberium Wars world and it looked great,

TimeSplitters 4

This. We need more TimeSplitters; it's one of the funniest FPS games out there. It and Team Fortress 2 rank as my favorite FPSes of all time.

Also Beyond Good and Evil 2 would be cool.

That may be, and normally i would jump around in my appartment in joy, but:
Given the fact it took them 12 years to release this pile of....well....you know...how long will it take to produce a good game ?
I'm 31, i don't think i'd live long enough to witness this.

Final Fantasy on the N64. It's cancellation was the first warning sign that Nintendo was going to be on the decline.

An Oddworld game after Stranger's Wrath. Sadly, I am one of the few people that bothered to stay with the franchise at that point.

Gun II. I bought the original for 6.99 and it was the best seven bucks I've spent. Activision teased about a sequel but that's about it. Yeah, I know Red Dead Redemption came out, but I am annoyed at how much it reminds me of the GTA's.

Blaster Master: Overdrive. It's a remake of one of my favorite retro classics and it only gets released on as WiiWare .
