Cancelled games you wanted

[Panayjon]

Imperator... although I'm excited about Warhammer Online I was really looking forward to the idea. That said I had heard absolutely nothing about the actual mechanics they were proposing.

As far as Suikoden, I've heard no news either but straight from Wikipedia:

* Suikoden (PlayStation: December 15, 1995, Japan; 1996, North America; April, 1997, Europe; Sega Saturn: September 17, 1998, Japan)
* Suikoden II (PlayStation: December 17, 1998, Japan; August 31, 1999, North America; July 28, 2000. Europe)
* Genso Suikogaiden Vol. 1 - Swordsman of Harmonia (PlayStation: September 21, 2000, Japan)
* Genso Suikogaiden Vol. 2 - Duel At Crystal Valley (PlayStation: March 22, 2001, Japan)
* Suikoden Card Stories (Game Boy Advance: September 13, 2001, Japan)
* Suikoden III (PlayStation 2: July 11, 2002, Japan; October 24, 2002, North America)
* Suikoden IV (PlayStation 2: August 19, 2004, Japan; January 11, 2005, North America; February 25, 2005, Europe)
* Suikoden Tactics (PlayStation 2: September 22, 2005, Japan (as Rhapsodia); November 8, 2005, North America; February 23, 2006, Europe; February 24, 2006)
* Genso Suikoden I&II (PSP: February 23, 2006, Japan)
* Suikoden V (PlayStation 2: February 23, 2006, Japan; March 21, 2006, North America; September 22, 2006, Europe)

As you can see there's always been a huge span of time between each game. Between 2 and 3, it took 3-4 years (depending on which release you look at) so don't lose hope until they actually cancel it.

ghostbusters and saboteur indiana jones and duke nukem forever

I don't think any of the games you listed are canceled...

(Wonders if a joke just flew over his head)

But yeah...Ghostbusters was explicitly stated to have survived the merger. Indiana Jones was delayed to make way for The Force Unleashed. Duke Nukem Forever is supposed to come out...someday. Saboteur...are you talking about the one Eidos was making for the Playstation or the stealth action game from Pandemic? Because the latter is doing fine as well...

Duke Nukem Forever will never come out. Its the gaming equivalent of when you tie a carrot at the end of a stick and dangle it in front of a beast o' burden. Sure, it hasn't been technically canceled but it is one game for which you can safely abandon hope

there was a Snowboard game in development at EA by the guys who made Road Rash and Skitchin but it was never completed.

i wanted that one when i read the preview article in Gamepro

Too Human was in development hell almost as long as Duke Nukem Forever and it's coming out next week. Although it is suspicious that the longer this game stays in development the less real-time footage is shown...

if ghostbusters ends up on the chopping block that would be pretty stale

 

[SecretTacoNinja]

Oh I forgot one! Sligstorm! Anyone know what I'm talking about? Probably not...

Fangus. It was going to be Oddworld's new game for the Xbox, involving a shepherd who is assaulted by bandits trying to steal his sheep. He goes after them and becomes involved in a big, grand plot encompassing Oddworld itself and something's impending doom as time and rabies eat away at him. Just like everything Oddworld ever made.

Speaking of which, Wikipedia lists like 5 games that Oddworld we're *going* to do but then didn't; instead they made Stranger's Wrath. Some of them sounded truly wonderful, like the story of an albino slig trying to escape infanticide.

Starcraft Ghost and Black9

Starcraft ghost and stargate alliance. These two game looked top notch and had so much potential but they got canceled dammit. I was especially mad about SG:alliance since i have been waiting for a full out proper stargate game FOREVER. I hope SGW turns out great.

Starcraft: Ghost

 

[Booze Zombie]

The ones that looked fun.

 

[Fraught]

50 Cent: Blood on the Sand....

Oh wait you said games that we wanted my bad.

And ALSO games that were cancelled. My bad. Pfft.

Project H.A.M.M.E.R.

 

[Theo Samaritan]

The PS2 version of Munches Oddyssey. The PSX gave birth to that series you UTTER BASTARDS.

 

[Pingrash]

I was looking forward to Starcraft Ghost but that was canned.
They were making a Dungeon Keeper 3... well if I had known about that then that is definatly on my list of "AWW but I wanted it!"

 

[Synangel]

Starcraft Ghost, and Age of Conan on the 360 (though i dont think its tottaly confirmed canceled yet)

 

[Hurray Forums]

Xenosaga series and a X-COM sequel that didn't fail. Was a bit bummed about no Starcraft Ghost but not near as much compared to those two.
