Title: What canceled game do you really wish had been made?
Post by: chronovore on August 29, 2009, 12:14:03 PM: There are some games you hear about and think OMG Day ONE I am buying that. And then it gets canceled.

Probably my biggest disappointment in that category would be Dead Rush, the GTA-meets-zombie-infestation game that Treyarch was making right at the console transition to current-gen. It showed up at the same E3 where Activision was showing GUN.

How about you? What game should have been given a chance, but wasn't?

Don't know if it's really canceled, but there hasn't been any news in years.

The Dreamcast took a lot of promising games with it to its grave, including a very cool looking graphic adventure from the Toy Commander dev team (Agartha, I wish I could have played you).

Post by: chronovore on August 30, 2009, 01:23:21 PM: Ooh, the Warcraft point-and-click adventure was high on my list, too. I think a lot of the story for that became lore for the World of Warcraft and WC3.

I'm sure SE will start milking the PSX FF games soon, too.

But ontopic:

Dead Rush(Ps2) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Rush)

Grand Theft Undead :'(

The Lost (Ps2)

I was so hyped for the game after I read about it in a magazine. The concept and the story were quite intruiging.

But the footage...

So amazing!

Baten Kaitos DS
Chrono Break (you know it was in development)

Dinosaur Planet
Cry On (even if the concept sounded silly)
Starfox 2 and Super Mario FX (even though they'd probably both suck... just out of curiosity, really)
Mother 64
Raven Blade (again, probably would have sucked... just want to play out of curiosity, to see how Retro would have handled this kind of setting)
Fire Emblem 64
Super Mario 64 2
Conker 64 (original version, just to see how much it contrasts with the final product)
Dead Phoenix
Super Mario 128
Persona PSP (the original announcement... I assumed it was going to be an original game)
Monster Hunter 3 (PS3)

But that never got out of the design phase, if it even got that far, right? CFAS was basically finished and was testing in arcades.

I interviewed for that project back in the day. It was so clearly doomed it was astounding; the team could see it coming, voiced their doubts at the interview. It was nicknamed "Cancelvania."
