We’ve all been there.

A new game trailer pops up during a game festival or some other bigass showcase event. It looks great! Ya love the concept, it’s got interesting game mechanics or maybe it’s just tapping into a genre that has been all but dead for a while.

It’s coming!

…then 3 years pass by without any word. Then 5. Maybe 7! No word of cancellation though! Maybe small updates saying the game is still in development. Perhaps even another trailer.

So what game are you waiting for? Did it eventually come out? Is it still in the works or was it finally given a mercy kill?

For me, I’m waiting on Project Awakening.



5 years later and this game still hasn’t popped. It’s got a typical fantasy vibe, but something about the gameplay looked awesome to me. Particularly when that dragon/drake/scaly dog slapped the character away. I love physics so that bit left an impression on me almost as deep as the dent on that guy’s back.

Squadron 42, Bioshock by Cloud Chamber, Tempest Rising

And the rest of that team getting real old

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

And the rest of that team getting real old

Yeah..

 

[hinch7]

Mass Effect 4 and Bioshock 4.

ME4 still long way aways with the main team at Bioware working on Dragon Age. No idea on whats happening with Bioshock 4 with Cloud Chamber. There were rumors of development hell there, which sucks.

 

[Jesb]

I sure hope that’s not Little Devil Inside and SC remake. Maybe KOTOR remake.

 

[LordOfChaos]

When the first clips of this were shown in 2005, it looked jaw droopingly amazing. Looked forward to this for a while through all its pivots, but after being bought out by Intel to showcase their ill fated Project Larrabee graphics, it seemed to fizzle out with the project. Intel still owns the trademark after the original devs spun out to try to buy it back unsuccessfully

 

[kiphalfton]

Kingdom Hearts 4.

See you in 15 years.

 

[March Climber]

 

[thatJohann]

Beyond good and evil 2

 

[StreetsofBeige]

I think it was called The Last Night(?). That retro Blade Runner indie game. Vaporware.

 

[Deerock71]

I wait for no games. Like Pooh, I live in the moment, and allow myself to be merrily surprised (with titles like Dave the Diver, for example).

 

[CherryFalls]

 

[Sleepwalker]

Sands of time remake

 

[Brigandier]

Splinter Cell Remake
Ghost Recon

Ubisoft Lies!!!

 

[YCoCg]

 

[CGNoire]

Splinter Cell Remake.

 

[Brigandier]

Oh yeahhhh I remember that. 7 years ago yeah that is canned.

 

[Kings Field]

Bloodborne remake

 

[mansoor1980]

ES6

 

[ReBurn]

All I want is for Lan Di to get what's coming to him. It'll probably never happen.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

That one was interesting I remember

Too bad its likely canceled now

I wonder if Little Devil Inside is still a thing. I've been following that game since it was first announced on Kickstarter years ago

 

[amigastar]

Agent for sure.

well, it's not that i've never been there. it's just been a while since the last time (elden ring, maybe? resident evil village?)...

Well, that's kind of because, with current development timelines, EVERY major game spends its share of time in development hell.

 

[POKEYCLYDE]

Decapolice. Was suppose to be out Nov 2023. Expected now sometime in 2025.

Became Dragon Dogma 2

 

[dreamstation]

Star Citizen I guess. Not spending a cent until it releases and I can buy the complete game. So I guess that's going to be never.

 

[CamHostage]

This Development Hell project is a little unlike the others in that it's 2D and complicated in other ways besides the size that often leads to dev hell, but it also is a little different because it's actually emerging from over five years of development hell this year!



UFO 50 is a many-game minigame game made as a collaborative work from the makers of Spelunky and Downwell. It was originally supposed to be out in 2018, but that was a little hopeful in release date predictions given it ran 6 years late. Coming finally Sept 18 to PC (no word yet on console versions, but the original plan was to be on other platforms... six years ago.)

I have some good news for you! Nomura couldn't quite deliver this with FF15 before it was taken away from him. But he's trying again with KH4!

 

[SHA]

Tbh, I actually haven't got a better chance to visit my backlog than this time, every once in a while we usually get distracted with as much worthwhile content as what we already have, which made us distracted in unfair situation where we may actually never find the time to consume these contents authentically which leads to terrible aging for these exact same contents that should've been consumed fairly but we didn't get that chance for the same reason.

Bayonetta 3
Metroid Prime 4

They are still making it. Plenty of issues with other similar games as well, such as REPLACED.

Piss poor communication on the developer's behalf, though. Everyone thinks that the game is not ever coming out. Their limelight was in 2017, fucking seven years ago.

Now the whole cyberpunk 2.5D pixelart aesthetic is forgotten since they are so focused on modeling and animating every single miniscule detail and forgetting the gameplay. They should get their heads out of their asses and actually get the game released.

 

[Daneel Elijah]

Limit theory. One man game, but with the same ambition as a single player Star Citizen. The dev worked hard after his Kickstarter success but abandonned the project a few years ago. I still hope for the game to somehow exist one day.

Looks like it's still alive. There's an update 4 months ago

 

[xrnzaaas]

Splinter Cell Remake
Ghost Recon

Ubisoft Lies!!!

Yep, I still don't trust Ubisoft they're actually going to release SC Remake and that even if they do it's not going to be another open world (or semi open world) game with coop options.

With that said it's Splinter Cell so I'd still play it.

Metroid Prime 4
The Last Night
Fable 4
Mario 64 sequel

 

[Black_Mamba]

Whatever Gen Design (Team Ico) and Playdead (Inside) have been teasing for a decade.

 

[Hunter 99]

ILL....
Looks great but no news on it and everyone seems to think its not even real gameplay shown

 

[Hunter 99]

Got Cancelled but looked so good back in 2007-8
