    Revenant Hill, by one of the Night in the Woods developers. Cancelled due to health problems.

    Honestly, I was really looking forward to EverQuest Next. The idea sounded promising before it was cancelled.

    Mario 35

    LittleBigPlanet, can’t wait for Restitched. At least private servers exist and I can emulate LBP2 on my PC

    Marvel Heroes. Hopefully the private servers being worked on will be in a playable state someday.

    Mag

    There’s something so special about the command structure, having your own squad v squad, while a whole other battle is taking place around you. But also that you could be pulled for extra resources if needed.

    I tried Hell Let Loose, but it’s too chaotic and open.

    Probably the Hardsuit Labs version of Bloodlines 2. Playing as a thin-blood and getting to diablerie would have been really fun.

    I wish we could have gotten R6:Patriots.

    Loadout. It was a casual PvP (and later PvE) game where you can make your own weapons with wacky combos. It was a bit pay-to-win, but I thought it was very fun. The game crashed and burned because the studio wasn’t sure what they wanted to do with it and kept ignoring fans.

    Scalebound That open-world Star Wars game SimsVille

    Any sort of sequel to the Tribes series. Talk about a franchise that had, at one point, a massive amount of potential that was completely squandered!

    It has momentum (the franchise, not just the gameplay mechanic. Lol) and the visuals and world lended itself to be turned into something with great storytelling of they really wanted to make it into a story as well. Plus, it was fun a hell!

    Ascend is technically still online, but any sequel that gets “announced” every one in a while is a lost cause from the start

    The cancelled suite of Alternate Reality games.

      Omfg…

      Yesssssss. Our entire family loved The Dungeon so much. My father wrote a letter to the developers and got a response, with excited descriptions of upcoming games in the series that never came to be. The producer or developer, or whoever wrote him back was bragging about how the next game would have characters you could actually see while in combat!

      source
      • jerkface@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        The Dungeon already sort of gave up on the original design. Philip Price wrote The City and the extension mechanism that things were supposed to plug into, but The Dungeon didn’t use any of it. So it was a one-way trip… Except you couldn’t actually transfer characters, it was broken. :-/

    This is before my time but I remember reading about a canceled movie tie-in game for Star Trek: First Contact.

    “The Last Night” looked very interesting, but i dont even know if its been cancelled, just havent heard anything from it in years

    source
  • AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Don’t know if it was ever announced to be in development and existed in any form outside of being told there was going be 3 games, but would absolutely love to have seen what the 3rd Sonic book game would have been like. I still need to play the Black Knight game, but would absolutely hop on board the 3rd if it existed.

    That, and would absolutely LOVE if Sega uncanceled the Riders series. Best racing game series to ever exists in my opinion. Too bad the 3rd game sucked so hard it caused the beautiful rose that is the Riders series to wither away.

    Breach. An asymmetric game of 5 v 1 with the 5 heroes working through a dungeon crawl while the 1 enemy sets traps or controls random AI characters.

    So I have three different typ of games from the top of my head.

    A game I know was a thing that got cancelled. Life by You I am so pissed it got caned. I was looking forward to it so so much.

    Then a game I don’t really know if it actually was a thing, I heard about it after it was cancelled, but I can’t really find much about it. Is The Sinister Six it was apparently a game about the Spider-man super villain group of the same name, as they appertaining in Insomniac’s spider man games. All I really remember is that you were supposed to play as the villains and it sounded good, I however only heard about it after it was caned so I really don’t know much more about it.

    And then there is this game that was never a thing, but an April fools joke in 2015. There would be a cross over game between The Sims and GTA. I got so excited about it, it still sounds like it could have been awesome.

    Those are some different typs of cancelled games that I really miss.

    Chrono Break

    Hyper Scape, probably my favorite battle royale. When you died, you could still run around as a ghost and be revived at a dead enemy. It was much more engaging than just sitting there spectating your teammates. Also the loot was a lot more simplified, so you didn’t have to spend time managing inventory or worrying about getting the right ammo type

    Reset, a puzzle sci-fi game some little Finnish studio was working on.

    TimeSplitters 4. If they’d have stopped baiting us with teaser art and promises of someone new buying the bones of Free Radical every few years then it wouldn’t hurt so much.
