Weird cancelled games I STILL think about

[@JakeBaldino]

I wanna hear your suggestions for a part 2! I know there's some weird old game rattling around in your brain. Don't give me that basic stuff like Star Wars 1313 - we've already talked it to death! Hit me here 👇

Frame City Killer - Namco's cancelled hitman game for the 360

[@zerorig]

Perfect Stride - was an early game by Ben Esposito and the other Arcane Kids. the alpha was released as part of a promotion and is now pretty freely available. iirc the music literally used a soundcloud playlist so it might break/be broken

[@MonkeyPowerkey]

One i just remembered that i had massive hype for. Pirates of the Caribbean Armada of the Damned. It was supposed to be this Pirates game where you could become this handsom Pirate Hero or Supernatual villain if you so choose. Just the idea of playing a original Pirates of the Caribbean story where i could become a villain was just so crazy to me. But that game just died at some point.

[@tylertheguy3160]

Cancelled games have always fascinated the hell out of me. The mystery of what could have been has an undeniable allure to it. How many cancelled games would have gone on to be classics? We'll never know, and that's a real shame.

[@christianblain8967]

One game that stuck with me is B.C by Peter Molyneux. I remember seeing it and wanting to play it right away. The concept and the short trailer / images they had revealed had me excited about the game for a while...... To this day I still think about it and wish it existed. Honestly thinking about it more, the fact that you only really got to see it via magazines or g4 tv was what really made it exciting. Always something new to look forward to when receiving the new Xbox magazine or if you got lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the g4 episode where they would showcase new info. With today's technology, everything is at our finger tip via our phones. I really do miss those days when you had to wait for the next magazine or g4 episode and rely on your imagination of how the game would potentially be like is really what made it exciting.

[@Snuugs]

Possession featured in an early Xbox 360 magazine, and I always wondered what happened to it. Thank you for scratching an itch I’ve had for nearly 20 years!

[@M00NBULLET]

The Darkness 3 is still one of my most wanted sequels. Imagine if they made the sequel come out of no where with an up to date engine (similar to how STALKER did).

[@qazeqaz]

Demonik would have been so cool. Was bummed it never got a leaked or anything.

[@M3talhound]

That game on today's tech would be absolutely mind-blowing.

[@AnCoolUsername]

One cancelation that hurt me when I found out about it was the Legacy of Kain game they were working on towards the end of the 360/PS3 era. It was going to take place where Kain and Raziel were traveling through time so they were absent in the world. You played as a guy who gets murdered by a vampire and then possess his body, sharing it with the vampire's consciousness. I'm pretty sure when it was cancelled, the work was transitioned to Shadow of Mordor.

[@ThePizzaMan_]

Legacy of Kain: Dead Sun 😂👍 I literally just posted about this myself!

[@tube154you]

yep, I remember this, not sure if I would've liked it though by the gameplay videos I saw.

That's why I was so stoked for Demonic because it looked like it handled like the blood omen game for the Xbox. I really need some demonik in my life!!! I wish that was a thing! I hope at the very least one day we get a Soul Reaver/Legacy of Kain game.

The Darkness was on discount today on xbox lol, I finally got it for the same reason! I've seen a lot about how underrated it is this past year.

[@Dubtoy94]

I’ll never forget about the XCOM remake trailer that they did years ago. It was a 2K games trailer on IGN back in like 2010. It looked so cool for the time. Almost like a survival horror fps against black ooze alien creatures. I remember being so hyped. But it ended up being XCOM: declassified and looking nothing like the trailer did

[@anthonyatom]

There was a Korean developed game called Huxley back in the day. It was supposed to be a FPS/MMORPG. It looked really cool and sounded way before its time.

[@oscarkabowski8413]

I came here to comment about Huxley. Game was way too ambitious and ahead of its time.

[@Nate-BreakingPoint-Interactive]

Damn I forgot about that one, Huxley was a big one I was hyped for. I'm most affected by Project-Offset being canceled by Intel after they acquired it and overestimated their own hardware, people at Intel were trying to help the team get their game back, but whatever higher up at Intel apparently didn't find it profitable enough to spend their time on. Some of the team created Fractiv or went to work on Hawken.

[@YoSuey]

Huxley ended up releasing in asia. I followed it damn near to the end. Was glad Hellgate London came out to fill the gap somewhat, but ifkyk.

[@Nickels53]

Deep down. Also, One Night Left? The Last Night? I don't remember what it was called but it was a neat looking pixle art game on steam a few years back. Always love your content man. It's very natural in this weird modern youtube world, which is refreshing.

[@JimTheFly]

Oh man, I remember seeing The Gauntlet, but I only saw that last scene with the approach to the courthouse and that just was such a crazy intense scene. I've never gotten it out of my head completely.

[@michabochenek542]

I got one title like that, it buggs me for years now: The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. It was supposed to be something like "Max Payne", but with supernatural twist, with more "horror" approach. There were some amazing artworks flying, Lance Henriksen and Tim Curry in the cast and it looked so cool, that I still can't get over it. Also, thanks for cool video (this one and much more others)!

[@aenorexband]

Awesome topic. Some really great picks there. I also was excited for Demonik, and was bummed that Grandma’s Boy was the last we saw of it. The games that I often think about and lament never getting to play due to cancellation would be Dead Rush and The Lost. Read a big magazine reveal story on Dead Rush back in the day, but it didn’t seem to last much beyond that. And I remember being SO pumped for The Lost, even proudly hanging a poster for it that I got in some game magazine in the early 000’s. Then…nothing. Cancelled and cast aside. Sad days.

For me it's Deep Down, the kinda soulslike roguelike thing that looked amazing when it was shown. Really wish it became real

[@XenogearSolid]

I dare not hope but the game hasn't been officially cancelled. Capcom renewed the trademark in 2018, and even when the project lead left in 2019 he said work would continue. If it does exist it probably went through an overhaul... a lot has changed since it was originally announced in 2013. And I really do wish it exists.

[@dominiquesmith6745]

It hasnt been cancelled its just not a priority for capcom right now

[@RayvenDraws]

Great list! The Demonik and Dirty Harry games were a serious trip down memory lane. The music in the Demonik trailer still rules. These are the weird cancelled games I still think about: - P.T. (not much to say, I think we all have it on our list, so I'll just get it out of the way) - Eight Days (a cancelled PS3 game, the trailer was absolutely insane - like Killzone 2 levels of "there's no way this trailer is real") - Killing Day (another PS3 game, looked a lot like the Hardcore Henry movie) - THEY (sci-fi FPS with aliens and an insane amount of weapon customization - the studio cancelled it and made the Witcher 2 instead) - Redwood Falls (it was supposed to be some sort of survival horror game that takes place in a snowy, mountainous region)

[@WebbanationX]

Eight Days. THAT'S what it was called. Thank you 🙏

[@cenciende9401]

P.T. wasn't a game it was a demo for a future Kojima Silent Hill game, it literally stands for 'Playable Teaser', yes I know it was removed, and Silent Hills was cancelled, but calling P.T. itself a cancelled game isn't accurate. I'm sure Jake has plenty to say about the cancelled Silent Hills given Kojima's involvement and how it ultimately led to his own studio!

[@Th-tg4zm]

Eight Days looked like the coolest game ever

[@M3talhound]

I feel you for PT. I, until recently STILL had the demo on a PS4 external. Sadly it was corrupted recently and I lost it....

I’ve been watching a lot of Lost Media videos recently, it’s a very interesting topic to talk about, specially when it comes to videogames! - Telltale’s Stranger Things - Phantom Dust Remake - A weird game titled LMNO - The Last Night (maybe still in production)

[@devencox1406]

Thanks for the info on the grandma boys game, that’s something I’ve always pondered. Great movie

That cancelled Jak 4 game still hurts to think about. I really wanted Naughty Dog to go back to that franchise.

I remember seeing Demonik when we saw Grandma’s Boy back in the day. When I saw the footage I remembered being intrigued. I knew it was a real game cause it would have taken too much time and money to make that footage for a movie. So I looked into it and I was interested. A game where you play a demon who goes after evil souls meant for damnation. That it likely had mechanics like that Shiny Entertainment game Messiah where ya possess people to sneak into areas of the game etc. It was a shame when I found out it was cancelled.

I worked in the industry around the N64 era, both as a freelance journalist but also for a developer. Sometimes what happens with these reveals is that the developer is making a last-ditch effort to shop around for a publisher to try and save a game through showing there’s a following or hype around their work. This rarely pans out, but that’s why you sometimes see these big reveals that never amount to anything.

Grandma's boy is a classic and that game always stuck out in my memory. It looked like a unofficial sequel or spiritual successor to Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy.

The mysterious Guillermo Del Toro game. I believe it was called Insane? Or Asylum? Also dead rush a zombie gta clone.

One I still think about occasionally is Fable Legends. I am aware of the hate on the franchise that really took off with Fable 3 and the worries that surrounded Fable Legends based on the game's nature alone, but something about the character and enemy designs really caught my attention.
