Gaming Graveyard?
Secretly in development?
Or just...... over zealous wishing?

What games were/are you looking forward to, that just kind of fell off the face of the planet?

Here are some for me, and if anyone knows anything that I don't about any of the following, please share:

Final Fantasy III DS
Mother 3 GBA
Chrono Break (or any Chrono)
The Mistwalker DS Strategy Game (is this even still in development?)
The Lost (all current gen systems)
Zombies Ate My Neighbors

 

[Brannon]

I'm still waiting for The Red Star...

 

[Macam]

I'm still waiting for The Red Star...

Blame Archangel.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Disaster Report 2. =(

 

[blackadde]

Vandal Hearts DS?

 

[SickBoy]

Champions, it was going to be a PC superhero game. Looked fantastic. Never came out.

In fact, a playground-style superhero game with varied powers and an open-ended world (or a mission-based structure a la GTA) would be a top desire for me for the coming console generation.

Is there really any contest?

Exactly what I was thinking.

I think FFIII DS was cancelled as it was removed from nintendo.com quite a while ago.

My vote goes to TEAM FORTRESS 2

 

[gogogow]

Fear Effect III: Inferno
I think Eidos didn't want to publish the game at that time and without publisher the project stopped right there.
I don't even know wether Kronos digital still exists or not. Their site says "under construction" and it's like that for awhile now.

Really too bad, I was really looking forware to this game coming to the PS2, years ago.

 

[retardboy]

The 3d Metal Slug

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

No mentions of Mario 128 yet? I'm disappointed.

 

[Kid Chameleon]

Let's wait and see what happens with Killzone 2 and the new Getaway game for PS3.

[SolidSnakex]

Since this isn't limited to current gen, i'll go with one of my most anticipated racing games from last gen

Rev Limit

 

[demi]

I know it was cancelled but DEAD RUSH

That game seemed pretty cool


and wtf at Zombies Ate My Neighbors? I never knew there was news of a possible sequel...oh wait, there was Ghoul Patrol. That sucked.

 

[dock]

 

[Kid Chameleon]

Rev Limit was looking amazing. I'd forgotten about that.

 

[Metal Messiah]

Zoonami's GameZero

[Shiggy]

Zoonami's GameZero

What did happen to Funkydilla?

 

[D2M15]

The Lost (all current gen systems)

Irrational bought back the rights, shelved it for current-gen systems, and intend to make it again on better technology in the future.

Fear Effect III: Inferno

Yeah, Eidos dropped it after being unimpressed with some of the crazier 2D/3D stuff Kronos were doing with it. Kronos went under a few years back, AFAIK, shooting down my hopes for a remake of Meat Puppet on some random next-generation console.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Werewolf the Apocalypse for the Saturn/PS1.

Major Damage for Saturn/PS1.

Sonic X-treme for Saturn.

Heavy Machinery for 32X.

Gunbeat for the DC.

Agartha for the DC.

And where did that team that did the awesome Sky Odyssey go off to...I want a PS3 sequel...NOW!

Whatever happened to Saffire?

 

[Yusaku]

PSP's flagship title, Gran Turismo Mobile, is nowhere to be seen.

The second (and best) version of Halo for PC that was going to be a team-based FPS like Tribes. It's a shame Bungie got bought up and had ruin the game for Xbox.

 

[The Faceless Master]

Resident Evil 2 (version 1)
Resident Evil 4 (version 2)

 

[Shinobi]

Funny, I was looking for possible E3 info on this game last night...

Most of you probably remember the steller Last Ninja games made for the C64 and other computers in the 80's, and this game I believe first started life in '97 or '98 on the PSX. There hasn't been much of anything said officially regarding it now in the last nine months. :lol Even Duke Nukem Forever fears.

Here are some other classic vapourware titles...

Also on the list:

Virtua Fighter 3 - Saturn

Geist Force - Dreamcast

Ghosts 'n' Goblins Online - Did I just imagine this was announced?

It was called Ghosts 'n' Goblins Online Zero and it was quietly cancelled. Taiwanese company Game Factory Entertainment Studios was beta-testing it and using the Terazona engine from network developer Zona (original developer). It was scheduled to be released for Xbox, GC, PS2, and PC.
