god damnit anon, it would have been so good

Star Wars games that would have been kickass but will never see the light of day due to incompetence on the part of Lucasarts, as well as Disney's acquisition and subsequent selling of sole game dev rights to EA:

>KOTOR 3

>Battlefront 3

>1313

>>13849943

1313 was going to be Uncharted: Star Wars Edition. KOTOR 3 would have been made by BioWare and BF3 was shaping up to be a mess. Weep for never getting the sequel to Republic Commando, or more Jedi Outcast.

>>13849943

>Star Wars games

>would have been kickass

>>13849956

Bioware didn't start to go to shit until after they were bought out by EA and released the first mass effect in 07, and BF3 looked a hell of a lot better than what EA turned it into

>1313 was going to be Uncharted: Star Wars Edition

Fair enough

>Weep for never getting the sequel to Republic Commando, or more Jedi Outcast.

Fuck, I forgot those were even going to be a thing

End of Nations

Tiberium

Actual Command & Conquer 3 Tiberian Incursion

Star Citizen

>>13849902

The Legends games were never good.

>>13850039

>the bioware was once good meme

My sweet summer child.

>>13850179

Just because you believe it's a meme doesn't mean it's true.

>>13850179

>mass effect 1

>jade empire

>kotor 1

>baldur's gate

>the infinity engine

Sounds pretty ok to me anon

>>13850210

>mass effect 1

Shitty corridor shooter with almost zero roleplaying elements, only popular because of monstergirl fetishists and spergs that never read a science fiction book in their lives. Horrible story and horrible gameplay.

>jade empire

>kotor 1

Both play like trash and are the same, exact BioWare RPG, one painted Star Wars and the other in Chinese. Both play like the most plebeian of console RPGS, with KOTOR having the distinct honor of being the cringiest piece of fan fiction ever written for Star Wars. Thankfully most people around here aren't children that enjoy playing a Mary Sue.

>baldur's gate

The gameplay is fun, the rest is just garbage. Also, Black Isle did all the heavy lifting for BioWare, hence why BG1 and 2 aren't complete trash.

>>13850179

(you)

>>13850229

>Isometric diceroll gameplay

>Fun

>>13849564

It hasn't actually been cancelled yet. It's still considered "on hold".

>>13849536

It was cancelled because their headquarters got completely fucked up by a huge earthquake and they couldn't continue development you dumbfuck

Sorry for double posting last one. Getting an invalid password error when I try to delete it.

Fuck I made a total mess sorry

>>13850229

>Baldur's Gate

>Fun gameplay

Your entire opinion is wrong.

>>13849536

Fallout 3

http://nintendo.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_cancelled_games

I found some interesting names here.

> The Legend of Zelda: Mystical Seed of Courage, for Game Boy Color

> (third version of Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons)

It makes sense, seeing as there are 3 goddesses. Ages centered on Nayru. Seasons centered on Din. But the third game for Farore never happened.

> Metroid 64, for Nintendo 64

> Banjo-Threeie, for GameCube

> Shantae Advance, for Game Boy Advance

> Mega Man Legends 3, for 3DS

> etc, etc

>>13850441

Slightly offtopic, but what games do have really nice large and spooky forests?

>>13850456

The Forest

>>13850456

The Long Dark Springs to mind.

>>13850456

Darkwood. It has an isometric camera though.

What it could've been.

>>13850304

By that standard, every SRPG is shit.

>>13850229

Jade Empire is a little better than KOTOR I think, the setting is at least a novelty, and the concept behind the open palm and closed fist system is a bit more compelling than your standard good and evil morality bar. even if they only utilize it as it should be used like three times and the twist with your mentor is well executed.

>>13850229

(you)

>>13850645

>every SRPG is shit

Never seen statement this true. It came from your post, not mine.

>>13850708

That isn't what I said though. Do you work for CNN? No wonder your taste in games is so shit.

>>13850752

How much money did you spend on spaceship JPGs anon?

It would've changed the entire face of the series if Sega of Japan hadn't gone out of their way to murder it.

>>13850434

This, it was an act of God.

>>13850823

looks a little floaty, and the fisheye might be hard to look at after a while. Pretty otherwise, but it just comes that some parts could be awkward to play.

>>13849536

Project Offset

>extremely technically impressive engine made by software wizards that would have played like dark messiah with several player campaigns. bought by intel and made to run on their in-development graphics processor, which was shut down and the game was brought down it it.

>>13850452

The third Oracle game only really got cancelled because they couldn't figure out a good natural way to link three games together and have it work.

>>13850622

that was completely self inflicted. company has only themselves to blame

Never forghetti

>>13850210

Kotor 1 is the only good thing there.

>>13851129

>Kotor 1 is the only thing I've heard of/played there.

FTFY

>>13850823

This looks like it would give people motion sickness after a while.

>>13851120

It still hurts. I'll never forget how upset I was when I learned that instead of KOTOR 3 we were getting an MMORPG of all fucking things.

I'm glad BioWare is dying. Can't happen soon enough.

>>13851156

>implying nutendomales getting motion sickness should play sonic in first place

>>13849956

>BFIII was shaping up to be a mess

Why?

Also didn't some anon have a prototype of the game they said they could backward engineer? What happened to that? I remember Reddit and Kotaku whistleblowing that so EA probably stepped in.

>>13850823

With a little polish, it could have been super mario galaxy

>>13851421

Supposedly rogue squadron 2 is still in some sort of legal hell,so,keep on hope.

>>13851508

I was excited for it because there was supposed to be an Imperial campaign. It's the closest I'll ever get to the glory of TIE Figther, but I know they're going to fuck that shit up because we can't have the goyim playing as the good guys, they might get funny ideas about shoahing the merchants.

>>13852304

>shitty wowclone

Nothing of value was lost tbh.

DCUO is better in every regard, except for maybe monetization.

>>13852315

0/10

>>13852366

Well it doesn't matter if wow popularized shitty tab-target cool down combat.

It's inherently shit and all games that feature it are by default garbage.

>>13852409

>it doesn't matter

If you can't even be factually correct in your shitposting you shouldn't bother.

>Epic doesn't provide the engine on time

>Silicon Knights make their own using what they have at hands

That wasn't on them, that was on a shitty company not caring about deadlines and then having more lawyers to fuck them back.

>>13849820

RIP Arkane Studios. They were too good for this world.

>>13850229

You're right.

>tfw they cancelled Kingdom Come: Deliverance

;-;

>>13850768

>he didnt even into the .pngs

lol your investment is slowly deteriorating because of your substandard lossy container choice faget

>>13849536

It's almost done!

KEEP DONATING

Yandere Simulator :^)

>>13851421

>Rogue Squadron 2

Uh. Didn't that happen?

Coded Arms Assault, one of the few console shooters that didn't look like shit.

And I was a Mustard startingt 7th Gen

I miss everything pre 2008 actually

I miss when the industry looked fresh and had so much to offer.

Now its so stagnant it kills the joy out of me.

>>13849536

I always get a little sad when I remember that, OP. Steambot chronicles was a favorite game from my childhood and all I wanted was to impregnate Connie's mom.

Truly she was best girl.

That was such a fun little game and let you put so much personality in your character, you could join the BBEG half way through, be a total ass or a saint. It had fucking days, days of sidequests. So many sidequests they're not all even accounted for in various walkthroughs years and years later. This game was a real diamond in the rough, sure in the really really rough but it was still great.

The way trotmobiles controlled was so fucking fun. If you didn't cheese all your fights with the minigun it was really an experience.

After capcom released capcom vs snk 2 there was a bunch of talk of a arksys vs capcom that never happened.

>>13857535

as long as they dont actually name it jak 4

>>13850691

It's for the best that got cancelled.

A Klonoa port to the gamecube

>>13857590

They ended up releasing a pen and paper RPG system that's pretty solid and easy enough to learn, but they really shit the bed when it came to making vidya and now they're never going to try again.

NWN1 and NWN2 Base campaigns look like diamonds compared to EA zombie bioware turds. Original dragon age had dialogue trees and actual conversations in camp.

Conversations in current bioware games are x or y choose your path. HORRAY.

>>13857808

I liked MGS5.

As unfinished as it was it's still one of the best games of the decade.

Can't wait for Death Stranding.

>>13857816

This is bait.

>>13857994

In all honesty that makes sense as they are both games called "over" for no reason. I wish overwatch was owari desu.

Still, acitivision aka blizzard probably has all these dev lore resources out there too research in order to find the truth to your idea. Fuck if I'll look in to it.

>>13851500

More like kidnapped, brainwashed which then turned them into a completely different individual with none of their original and liked identity traits left.

>>13857994

Overwatch was made from elements of Blizzard scapped Project Titan. I think it just ended up being a coincidence.

>Overstrike looks like it could have been a cooperative teamwork based game that would have ended up PLAYING like Overwatch's short promotional animated character videos (with a hint of crazy, over the top Rachet & Clank style weapons)

>Overwatch is a game that tries to sell itself sell off though those short promational animated films but ends up playing like Team Fortress 2 with more subclasses and less players per team and NEVER comes close to gameplay like to what those promotional animated shorts actually are.

>>13852304

If it continued to exist to this day, I can almost guarantee it would turn into something most of /v/ would hate. Funny how a game about superheroes got to die as a hero.

>>13850441

>>13850629

>>13854764

Good. You wouldn't hear anons crying about Fallout 3 (the ZeniMax one) being cancelled, would you?

>>13858377

Oh and i mean Gun 2, i loved the first gun

>>13849536

How about games that came out after being forcibly altered against the developer's will like Fracture?

>>13850662

Fuck you.

>>13851244

>casts spells by "scratching" the scrolls around her like a dj scratches records on a turntable

Okay I didn't know I wanted that, but I really want that. That sounds cool as shit

>>13858722

The image is for the actual prey 2 that was canned to make the new one.

>>13858769

Thank god almighty.

>>13850842

Thats a big shame. What happened to it?

Did they pull the plug because they couldn't add loot boxes and micro transactions?

>>13858377

https://youtu.be/0a78kzAffb4

what this game could have been, anti grav grenades, energy lasso, fast parkour tier movement, hunting down alien scum on the dark side of the moon

>>13859756

The whole "little girl in a surreal Japanese suburb" setting mixed with that comfy elevator music is giving me a heavily appreciated Umihara Kawase vibe, but the core gameplay premise does seem pretty lackluster. Can't say I'm surprised, sadly.

>>13850823

Still looks awkward, gimmicky, and not as fun as the 2D games. It better captures the vibe of classic Sonic. I'll give them that. Although so does 3D Blast, and no one likes that game.

>>13861326

>no one likes 3D Blast

Fuck you, the Saturn version was awesome

>>13861336

I actually kind of like 3D Blast, but the common consensus is that it's shit.

>>13858141

Tell me about it

Oh, you thought I was going to let this thread die on this high of a note? Nah.

I come bearing great pain and suffering and to basically run you life with another installment of "what the fuck why would they cancel that, that looks really fucking cool?". According to the numbers not many people knew of it when it was on kickstarter and they never got that outside investment they were seeking so its probably dead forever, the most views, any 1 video of it, got on youtube was 300k which is minuscule by any standards they were pretty shitty at marketing from what I remember.

I present: Project Awakened

>>13849820

>>13854006

Man I posted this so many times someone else is posting it now. At least I know I am not the only one who feels pain about this game being cancelled there are at least 2 other people this pains.

THIS is the Battlefront we could've been playing.

>>13868114

Yep, I found it years ago before their while was fucking about on cuckchan /v/ that was probably like 2010, a few years later again on cuckchan there was finally saw some sort of prototype starting to take form and they tried a kickstarter, I remember upon seeing the kickstarter pitch I literally said out loud to my self "there is no way that is not going to be funded, its looks unique and I hope that they are able to make something good out of it when its funding get fulfilled" I was so certain, it just seemed so inevitable. I don't get hyped and I never have but this is one of very few games that have ever almost got me close to that point, thinking back there were some threads on old /v/ discussing it and the prevailing opinion was that it was likely going to be funded, basically to be cautiously optimistic and that even if they do an okay job of implementing some of their ideas that it would probably be an above average game, a few people in a few of the threads even backed the game.

Its a real fucking shame, you are right. Feels real fucking bad man.

It actually took me quite a while to even find this game when I was looking to post it, there was virtually no notable internet presence for this game or the devs no videos articles and the kickstarter page seems to be gone. So I can kinda understand why it failed. Luckily I remembered the word "project" in the title, or its possible this game could have just been swallowed by the deep end of the internet forever and forgotten to the sands of time. God know fucking "superhero kickstarter" or "hero kickstarter" it didnt even fucking show up in the results at all.

Holy fucking shit look at this fucking video!

This video is 9 fucking years old, jesus fucking christ time fucking flies sometimes.

Anyone remember Getaway and Getaway: Black Monday for the PS2? The first game was the most expensive game ever developed at the time of its release, and if I'm right wasn't beaten until GTA V 11 years later.

Anyway, I digress. There was supposed to be a third part releasing sometime around 2007 that never, ever came to fruition for godknows what reason why. It certainly looked impressive, though we'll never know for sure how it would have played. Same team that would go on to develop the similarly eternally-delayed Eight Days, by the way.

>>13868843

>The first game was the most expensive game ever developed at the time of its release,

Wrong

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_video_games_to_develop

I just realized that Capcom is responsible for what happened to MML3 and for what is happening with DD.

>>13850409

techland is basically dead in the water. they had to give away development of DI2 and that died on impact.

>>13849820

so it would have been a souls precursor in that it had instanced mp? seems alright.

>>13849956

lucasarts had an in-house production of battlefront 3 ready to go, just needed polishing. free radical's version was pretty completed too iirc but needed way more time being polished.

>>13854854

Gotta say, it doesn't look terrible. It will never live up to the hype and promises, but there's a small possibility we might actually get an alright game out of it all.

>>13851188

at least the Imperial Agent storyline was good

Remember that one time when somebody on Reddit destroyed an Xbox devkit?

Remember that other time when somebody else returned the Starcraft source code to Blizzard?

>>13872285

>StarCraft Ghost was canned because it wasn't good enough

>Release StarCraft 2

The good should die young.

>>13858774

The reason he wears the mask in is fact to counter him getting an ego and allow every journalist, young or old, new or veteran to approach him. Taro has been doing this since his Drakengard days and has stated he feels its important to do.

Overall Taro, does have the mindset to be an extremely great project lead and this likely came from how troubled some of the earlier games in his series were. Furthermore he is extremely humble.

>>13857808

You're an actual idiot.

Kojima has problems with his writing but as a director for games he's pretty solid and despite a lust for cut-scenes heavily advocates for good and solid gameplay. If you wanna shit on him at least know your shit.

Peace Walker, was a title he was heavily involved with as an apology for Portable Ops which was reportedly utter garbage. He directed PW and was heavily inspired by his son playing Monster Hunter. So, no. Pic NOT related.

Next we have the fact Rising was ORIGINALLY done without him having any input over the project but as the team began having extreme problems with designing the game (Long stretches of time with no real progress in the project.) Kojima decided to pass the torch to Platinum who within a year made Rising. Something we can all agree was a good decision.

>>13854854

On the day of thy release, I will plvnder thee.

>>13878005

Maybe for the better. The story was a fucking mess. Of course it wasn't Bethesda's Fallout 3 tier bad.

I'm still angry at Fallout 2 for going full meme pop-culture references all the time. Wacky shit can be fun in moderation but Black Isle went overboard with that stuff.

>>13878276

>Maybe for the better. The story was a fucking mess. Of course it wasn't Bethesda's Fallout 3 tier bad.

Considering its existence would wipe Bethesda's FO3 from existence, no.

>>13850229

This anon is correct

Bioware was never good, merely mediocre

>>13850441

Wasn't stalker 2 a scam?

>>13882349

No.

But many scams promised to be a spiritual successor to Stalker.

>>13878276

Was it different to the New Vegas story?

>>13858774

>apparently he originally wanted a real life J-Pop Idol to descend from the sky and be the final boss of the original Drakengard.

What a missed opportunity, that would've been hilarious and amazing.

>>13851236

Did Deep Down really got canned? I never heard anything from that game in a while. What really happened to that game?

>>13882487

No one knows, I don't think it's been mentioned since it's been announced.

>>13882489

I faintly remember some info after the announcement. Like how the game was going to be free-to-play and it was going to take place in the future where the player go into a some VR machine to go into a fantasy world or something like that.
