10 Cancelled Video Games That Never Saw Release

It's frustrating when playing through our latest Worst Game Ever to know that other excellent video concepts were unduly cancelled, left in development hell or, worse still, apparently finished but unreleased. From Silent Hills to Prey, here are 10 Cancelled Video Games That Never Saw Release.

That Simon Miller impression is on point though.

[@DiegoRYT]

and that's Ok...

"10 Cancelled Video Games That Never Saw Release." Next video: "Ten Dead People Who Died."

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Prey 2 got cancelled; Why? Here's why!

[@MrBeardsley]

Guillermo del Toro is one of those people who’s becoming better known for projects he hasn’t been able to realize than ones he has. In addition to his two games on this list there’s also his version of the Hobbit movies, his version of Pacific Rim 2, a third movie in his Hellboy franchise, and adaptation of HP Lovecraft’s At The Mountains of Madness, a Halo movie, and movies based on Peter Pan, The Wind in the Willows, Beauty and the Beast, Tarzan, and Disney’s Haunted Mansion theme park ride.

[@LloydW90]

What about Star Wars 1313 Tiny Peter ??

[@robertbayer886]

#1 I'm so glad I found this channel. Peter and Ben have been sorely missed from the other channel. #2 Perfect Simon Miller impression.

[@llpalm08]

If by other channel you mean *name redacted* (The one with the lists) then you might like to know about the Vidiots channel they did last year and are still sort of doing in their spare time

[@dayneweal7977]

Love that cameo from Simon Miller at the end. It was nice.

[@bartekkubicaku-bitsa9802]

That DOOM joke and reaction to it, and inSANE spelling, are Peter's redemption for not caring about FINAL FANTASY and not knowing how to pronounce Ivalice. I am a Peterphile

[@FearNLoathing0]

That was a real good list, and the jokes were great. Had many good laughs, thanks for brightening up my day!

[@halfbakedmedia]

Today I learned "Rainbow Six" was not a paintball game.

[@carribob1992]

Theres one game I was really looking forward to but never got released and that was Battlebots for PS2 and Gamecube. It got cancelled when Comedy Central cancelled the show (Which was a shame because looking at the footage for it, it looked fun). A prototype of the game does exist and was realeased online back in April 2022. Though buggy, its pretty much playable and pretty damn fun.

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

EA: Cancel the Game

[@christianlorre]

Lord of the rings was interesting because game informer magazine later said we were planning on a exclusive story on the upcoming game and at the last minute ea demanded the story be scrapped. And a day or two later they announced the game was cancelled. And then that Tom Clancy game mentioned here really was a game informer cover story that was a game that never was released.

[@chrisnemec5644]

There were rumors of a Legend of Legaia III; in planning stages at the time of the release of LoL II (around 2002.) However, the creator of the original LoL had been sacked in mid production of LoL II and threatened legal action if they did a LoL III. Also sales of LoL II were a bit disappointing, mainly because Sony did very little advertising of the game due to the aforementioned rift between the creator and them.

[@StartingOut_]

Doomed to fail.... I think you failed. Doomed "4" failure, was right there in front of you

[@amyschildgamerlive4519]

Omg I just said the same thing but you said it a year before me!

[@ccricers]

You can't get more Gaming in the Clinton Years than Socks The Cat.

[@gamesthatiplay9083]

I'm a bit confused why it took a Kickstarter to release the rom. I'll look that up. Ouch. Only made $33k. Well, that's $20k better than most quality homebrews, and most of the money goes to manufacturing. There was a $10k tier, and a lot of tiers over $200 went unbacked / unbought.

[@amyschildgamerlive4519]

Lol the sarcasm about Del Toro... if only he knew then what he knows now! XD

[@dafdev]

Always enjoy a Simon shout out...

[@macabre_matinee]

This channel needs more traction. Subbed

[@gamesthatiplay9083]

Yeah, I'm a bit surprised the channel doesn't have more subscribers, and especially user comments. My "recommended videos" will be 90% this channel. KZbin is really pushing it hard to me.

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

I never realized the DMA guy was the letters DMA. To busy playing the game to notice I guess.

[@abdelali9279]

When you realize Hideo Kojima is a big Shrek fan since he hired the score composer of the movie and the moustache man from the Puss in Boots to work on his games. Brilliant!

[@amyschildgamerlive4519]

@7:52 missed an opportunity to say DOOMED 4 failure....

[@Chigen_Atomic]

Patriots seemed like an interesting if dark story.

[@The_Surviving_Lakan]

Damn, i forgot being hyped for Prey 2 in middle school since it was the first year I got my ps3.

[@DiegoRYT]

can't get enough of Peter's Pums

[@pikachureynolds1110]

Lists are always great bros

[@DiamondDogApollo]

Ah the 90s. Back when I had a autographed picture of Socks the cat and when my metabolism still worked. Those were the days.

[@sonicguyver7445]

I still remember seeing am article about that Socks the Cat game in Nintendo Power. I thought it was a sign developers were running out of ideas. And I think you should have mentioned "Robotech: Crystal Dreams." I had the fold out poster from Nintendo Power for that game.

[@gamesthatiplay9083]

Now that I'm older, I know it's more about Super PAC money funding different types of media like Socks the Cat. Then the Super PAC money pulls out, and said media development collapses.

[@Sly88Frye]

Killian Samuel? I can't help but feel like they were inspired by Samuel Jackson since he had been such an action star

[@MrB1ah]

I’m still bummed about TC R6 Patriots

[@gamesthatiplay9083]

Probably canceled because too many people hated Wall Streeters at the time. Then race became an issue again, and nobody cared about Wall Streeters again.

[@gracekim25]

I do love learning about old concepts! 27.2.22

[@luisr799]

Wish I could play GTA and GTA 2 again. I still remember buying GTA 2 from Circuit city, good times.

[@steakcrust558]

the first RAGE was more of a proof of concept for Doom 2016. make a game almost Identical but be sure to give it a new name.

[@mymusicpaws]

Ok, a little bit of Monika got me.

[@r3ggiekray]

I wanted the getaway 3 we were promised when the ps3 launched

[@glassesman15]

Your bloody hilarious

[@mrm.acampbell2722]

Poor Simon Miller

[@dylanogg347]

"Insane". Or "inSANE"! If you wanna get serious about this.

[@shaunlewis8806]

Well cancelled does mean it won't be released 😂

[@tyblood87]

ah socks the cat starring the cat of reformed rabbi bill clinton

[@gamesthatiplay9083]

He's a Rabbi now? I thought he was just making millions off being a public speaker.

[@timothygraham4304]

An insane trilogy? Not in my lifetime!🤣

[@captainunderpants200]

Fuck off with 'The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus'. He'll always be 'The Boondock Saints' Norman Reedus' to me.

[@death5talker45]

I'd have loved the White Council LOTR Game

[@roguerifter9724]

Freedom Fighters 2 is my most disappointing game announced but never released. Star Fox 2 would be in second but it eventually game out. (I spent more then a year with $50 in my piggy ban waiting for Star Fox 2's release before losing hope and buying Breath of Fire.)

[@paulharries9558]

Did you know I bought the first two games (Limbo and Horizon :Zero Dawn) featured on this vid for me Xmas?

[@mattalan6618]

did you know that no one gives a flipping fuck what you buy?

[@Dave_ja_vu]

Really have nothing to say I just try leave comments and likes on all your videos when I see them. I like to feel like I'm helping🤣

[@espurious]

You are helping!

[@jackforster7783]

I didn’t know the White Council was a LotR thing. I thought they just ran the Oscars

[@timothyoswald8618]

Hahahahaha

[@bodhi6769]

Will Smith has become an expert at gaining publicity from award shows

[@warmachine68]

I thought Agent would be number 1

[@timothyoswald8618]

I don't think it's been officially cancelled, though. Just in purgatory

[@mattalan6618]

@@timothyoswald8618 a fate far worst than death

[@guyver026]

What is with Simon keep popping up?

[@ciaranlongbow2071]

Aaron Stephens long running inside joke, they’re cool with Miller but they make jokes about his presentation style all the time

[@ZERO9098767]

"10 Cancelled Video Games That Never Saw Release" Ummm... As opposed to cancelled games that did get released? I um... I think those are just called games that never got cancelled...

[@gamesthatiplay9083]

Socks the Cat was released.

[@Biofan813]

MGSR2? Scalebound!?

[@michaelthomas6108]

Scalebound is coming out on the Switch

[@johnmacrae6167]

More Simon Miller

[@ronin_user]

VR still isn’t here on a mass scale. It was a niche waste resources for gaming. Until the release of a viable and affordable VR system it is just too early. Half-Life 3 probably got killed off by a VR title that nobody played outside of KZbin. It eventually got released for regular users but by then it was too late. Nobody bothered. Not everyone will want to use VR. AR definitely. VR is dated.

[@gamesthatiplay9083]

I feel like VR is still niche. Although I see parents buying VR for their 4 - 5 year olds. All my friends with VR say the thrill wore off after 1 - 3 months. They didn't like having to put on a headset, and have the controllers, they'd rather just sit and play.

[@falagarius]

Hey Peter do you care about anything?

[@samwalters1402]

DOOMed 4 failure

To bad the new Duke Nukem from a few years ago didn't stay cancelled. >.
