? That's the best cancellation ever in retrospect. I can't imagine Mother 3 having the impact it had with those 3D polygons with no detail.
i forgot all about this one. It was teased and whispered about for a looong timeI always wanted to see City of Metronome come out, I thought the concept looked really neat.

The game was set in a gothic/industrial style city, and relied on the player to manipulate sound to progress. The character had a device on their back that recorded audio, and you would capture sounds, and then modulate them to change the pitch etc, to use them in the game. For example, you might have to create a loud noise to startle someone, or a soothing noise to get past an enemy. Or it could be something as simple as recording a voice to bypass a security checkpoint.
The game was originally announced at E3 2005 by Tarsier Studios. Since the announcement they have made a few titles, but sadly, City of Metronome isn't one of them. The studio has worked on LittleBigPlanet, Tearaway and The Stretchers. They also developed Little Nightmares, which tonally seems similar to City of Metronome, and it does make me wonder if some of the designs and environments from that game got used in LN.
As far as I'm aware, City of Metronome was never officially cancelled, although clearly it has been put on the back burner. My suspicion is that the Little Nightmares franchise has basically replaced it. No bad thing, the first game is good, and the sequel will probably expand on the ideas and make them even bigger and better, but I really love the sound mechanic that City of Metronome proposed.
