Cancelled games
02/05/13 at 17:51:13
 
Since the Arcade post went off pretty well and this kind of stuff isn't easily researched online. I figured i'd share some canceled game titles that you might not be aware existed.



Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans.

Kings Quest meets Dragons Lair. This predated Warcraft 3 but was created shortly after Diablo and Starcraft. I believe this game was canceled due to the fact the point n click adventure genre was extremely unpopular after Kings Quest 6, 7, and 8 laid some huge turds in the market. But it's also likely that they stopped production so that they could focus on Diablo 2 and Brood Wars.





Call of Cthulu 2: Destiny's End

It looks awfully similar to Resident Evil 4. Bethesda probably won't ever finish or release this game. I thought it looked pretty interesting considering the first Call of Cthulu was really true to the source material, but was lacking in action. This game had potential.





Division 9. Squad based gameplay similar to SWAT 4 and the earlier Rainbow 6 games. Except you are fighting zombies instead of terrorists. I thought this would have been a really cool concept. A zombie game with competent friendly AI is something no one has seriously done.




Sonic Xtreme. This one is a very interesting case as 2 versions of it exist. The one in the video below is the one running on the Nights engine. Once Sega of Japan found out that Sega of America was using the Nights engine they were tremendously pissed off and scrapped the game.



So after Sega of Japan killed the game in it's pre alpha stage. They developed another version which Sega also canned. The reasons for this aren't really known.

It is known that Sega of Japan was notoriously shitty to Sega of America and they were prideful to a fault. The Saturn was almost the N64, Sega of America was working deals with the producers of what ended up being the N64's hardware. But Sega of Japan rejected Sega of Americas hardware design and opted to use a bunch of off the shelf parts. Which resulted in the Saturn being fantastic at retro 2D style things. But terribly ill prepared for 3D graphics due to the fact the Saturns hardware was dated before it was released because they went with standard parts. These standard parts were created before the 3D boom and it's why the Saturn can't handle 3D very well.

Anyways i'm off topic. They practically finished Sonic Xtreme and Sega killed it, re released Sonic 3D Blast and made a Sonic collection with a 3D over world. Then they pretty much gave up on the Saturn. Most likely because at that point with 3D gaming growing far beyond anything the Saturn could produce. it was very clear the Saturn had lost.

But deep down i got a feeling they didn't release it because they had something against the team making it. There are lots of stories on the internet of ex SoA employees dealing with some seriously insane bullshit from SoJ. I would not be surprised at all if they canceled it both due to the Saturns failure and because of petty bullshit reasons.





Bonus. 10 player Bomberman on HDTV in 1993.

The estimated cost of that plasma screen TV in 1993 is roughly $40,000. It was constructed with Medical and Military applications in mind. While you could watch movies on it. This screen was mostly meant to be used with computers.

Interestingly enough the technology for Plasma Screen TV's is older then the Moon landing. Most every fancy technological gadget we enjoy was practically made in the 50's.



While it's more of a tech demo and not a canceled game. The closest you can get to it is Bomberman on the Sega Saturn which had a 10 player mode. But no high definition.

P7 you need the raw link to each video to post them. If you go off a playlist or if the youtube URL is cluttered it won't work.

You can get the raw URL by copying the videos title, pasting it into youtube search, and then clicking the video there. It will provide you with a clean link.

I knew if he replied, Thrill Kill would have been on the list. I'm dying to get my hands on a copy of that game... And a chipped PS2. I can't believe how far that game got, and was then cancelled.

I remember reading an interview with one of the old rockers from the 80s, who  was asked to do the music for a game where you "raced on motorcycles and beat the living shit out of each other while you did it". Dude totally spilled the beans on a Road Rash reboot, but whoever employed him denied the game's existence. The game never came out, either, so I'm wondering just what in the Christ happened.

There was a PS3 Road Rash in development and it vanished. I assume it was going to get a 360 and PC port too. But from what i remember reading the PS3 was the primary development platform.

I'm going to assume with every Need for Speed game they probably put together a Road Rash alpha. But they don't believe a large enough market exists for the game for them to put one into full development. I wouldn't be surprised if there are several canceled Road Rash reboots.

Which is kind of sad because the PSX/3DO Road Rash and Road Rash 3D were pretty amazing games. The former had some awesome gameplay and good use of FMV and music. While the other one had a legitimate open world you could ride your motorcycle in all day.

One of my favorite things to do in Road Rash 3D was to ignore the race and just cruise around the city at max speed doing sick maneuvers and beating up other bikers and cops.

I still have Road Rash and RR3D for the Playstation/PS2. Every once in a great while, I'll run through them for old times sake, but sadly, all the friends I used to split screen with are long gone, and the fun of watching the hilarious cut scenes for totaling your bike or getting busted is cut in half because of it. I'd absolutely love for a next gen reboot to surface. As popular as sport bikes are nowadays, I don't see how anyone could worry about it bombing. Couple that with kicking a cop into oncoming traffic, or racking someone's face with a baseball bat, and that would have to win.

Dammit, I would've loved Road Rash on Ps3. I still play Road Rash 3D once in awhile, it's still fun.

There was going to be a video game for the old classic film "Taxi Driver" for Ps2. It was cancelled for whatever reason, and while it probably would have been as good as say, The Sopranos video game, it still would have been funny to play as Travis Bickle and go on a rampage against random criminals.

That game looks fucking awful. You can't even fall off of your bike. It's even worse than Felony 11-79  Shocked
