Topic: What Cancelled or Vaperware games would you have loved to see the final project.

The thread title pretty much sums it up.

One of the biggest titles for me was True Fantasy Live which was an in development MMO JRPG by Level 5/Microsoft Studios for the Orginal Xbox. The game eventually fell apart and cancelled 4 years into its development. The Level 5 guys said that Microsoft was inexperienced with japanese developers, whlle i've heard others say that Level 5 used this barrier to use TFLO resources on what would become their other games. While the game failed what's interesting is that alot of its ideas would eventually trickle their way down Level 5's outut with White Knight Chronicles, Fantasy Life, and Dragon Quest IX.

A second game was Fortress a FInal Fantasy XII spin off that would have been a open world game in the vein of most WPRGS in the world of Ivalance.

Unsure why it was canclled but what Square really needed a the time was more than two viable franchises. (but that's discussion for another day).

Can I count earlier versions of Halo 2 and Bioshock Infinite?

But for actual games, I really wanted to see what that Retro RPG thing would've been like. And Project H.A.M.M.E.R. of course.

Six Days in Fallujah needs to be mentioned.

Also this:

Yeah you can count earlier versions of other games. Sucks about six days in Fallujah, though i'm surprised the studio didn't try to self publish it

Okay, I know we technically got it, but I would've loved to have seen Earthbound 64 in it's final build. Though some of the character models looked a bit...off to me.

...Someone please hold me.

Would Mega Man Legends be considered vaporware? If so that game looked really good.

Super Mario 64 2.

We never saw much of it, but it was in development at one point. And it was going to feature co-op multiplayer with Luigi as a second playable character.

Half-Life 3.

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

I forgot about True Fantasy Live Online but yes it is one. Also, it's not software, the Infinum Labs Phantom.

Let's us not forget the Streets of Rage title the folks over at Realtime Worlds were making.

Mega Man Universe, I was planning on getting a PS3 or 360 of my own because of that.

Shin Megami Tensei vs Fire Emblem

Bioshock Vita and The Last Guardian.

After duke nukem forever? I'm going with the saying "be careful what you wish for" even though project hammer really sounds great...

TimeSplitters 4. I loved TS: Future Perfect, but then Free Radical exploded, so we ain't getting that. There was definitely a second game I was thinking of, but I forgot it while scrolling through the thread. It'll haunt me forever.

Rodea the Sky Soldier and Donkey Kong Racing. Also Rare's old project Dream, but what it transmogrified into (Banjo-Kazooie) is probably way better than anything else that could have been.

Rodeo The Sky Soldier

Rogue Squadron Wii remake thing we heard of recently.

The 64DD Zelda's which would have been better than what we ended up with.

Everything Retro was doing before they axed it all and made Metroid Prime.

Car Combat / Thunder Rally
Raven Blade
NFL Retro Football

Shenmue 3-5

That Buck Rogers SNES game we saw recently. (What it did turn into my eyes don't like I get headaches).

Kuma Soldier (PC-FX).

I'm gonna be sad when/if that comes out and is called a Kid Icarus: Uprising ripoff.

Bioshock Vita, Half-Life 3, and Shenmue 3. The Rogue Squadron Wii game would have been cool, too (especially since it was finished).

Starfox 2, Dinosaur Planet, and Megaman Legends 3

Banjo Threeie definitely
