Once upon a time, a game studio got the rights to make a World of Darkness - Werewolf the Apocalypse game. All I know is that it was scrapped, and it made me cry on the inside a little.
UO2 and UXO
Played UO for several years, then as it was diminishing the market projections showed the game market for MMOs to be pretty much saturated. Not long after UO canceled any thoughts of a sequel, WoW shattered the MMO world.
Also around that time a game called Wish by Mutable Realms was in the making, but it too became scared of the saturated MMO market and fled. Which is a shame because I thought it looked pretty sweet.
Oh the many WoWs that could have been.

True Crime: Hong Kong. Loved True Crime: New York, one of my favourite games on the PS2, and was really looking forward to the new one. But, alas, it's not to be. Unless they happen to start working on it again at some point in the future *crosses fingers*
well then, I can see fans translate it to english and release a rom for it. it has happened before.legend of duty said:miles edgeworth ace attorney 2 its not canceled infact its made but its not being localized
I was really looking forward to the Getaway 3, but I am still holding out some home as it has only been postponed - aparently - rather than totally shelved. I know the others weren't the best driving and shooting games around, but I was young and I knew the city well. I guess its nostalgia, but I want the Getaway 3!!!!
Anyone else remember Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy? I'm not sure if the sequal was ever officially in the works, but the first one definitely was not meant as a stand alone title. I would LOVE to see the follow up, but seeing as the first one is seven years old now, I don't think it's very likely.
I'd like to see Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, what the devs wanted it to be instead of the final version that was rushed. If a game that was rushed and out of money was that good, imagine what they were aiming for.
as far as I know the Boulder Dome isn't in the game and it looked like a really interesting location (maybe they are going to include it in Old World Blues)ChupathingyX said:
Aside from numerous ones already mentioned, there's the Babylon 5 Newtonian-physics based space combat sim, Into the Fire [http://youtu.be/uNzQK5ntfBw].
I also heard that The Operative (that is No One Lives Forever) IP went into copyright Hell after A Spy in HARMs Way. I would very much like a NOLF3.
Nods to Full Throttle 2 and Battlegrounds 3. Something with SWBG2 doesn't agree with my graphics card, causing severe frame-rate drops in certain levels.

Old World Blues is set in the Big Empty, however, they're both research facilties full of crazy scientists and many experiments so hopefully it will provide a similar experience.henritje said:
