Gary Green said: With my fondness for (most) Final Fantasy games and my side goal of finishing off games in my collection with loose ends, a return to Final Fantasy XV seemed inevitable. It also serves as my third Final Fantasy platinum trophy after VII and VIII, a reasonable substitute since Final Fantasy IX is nigh on impossible to master.
This year promises to be a big year for gaming, and it will definitely be one of the greatest if any of these big MIA projects finally made it into gamers' hands.
Pretty sure Silk Song and Dragon Age are going smoothly. The other 2 can be assumed to be quietly cancelled knowing their publishers and Metroid will most likely be shown off this year.
I remember in 2017 when Nintendo showed off the Metroid Prime 4 logo, and some Nintendo defenders claimed "Just because they only showed a logo, doesn't mean that's all they've worked on for the game."
As history has proven, they were wrong. Nintendo showed off a logo back in 2017 because that's literally all they had.
I think Beyond Good and Evil 2 can stay there unless they are going to just rename it to a new IP
Pretty sure BG&E2 is dead at this point - along with the other game Ancel was working on before he left - I think it was called WILD. Anyone remember that from a PS conference years ago?
Dreadwolf isn't in development hell anymore and is finally getting its reveal in the summer - since 2016 the game has been scrapped and restarted three times but its been going pretty well since the last reboot when EA finally allowed BioWare to just get on with making a single player game.
I'm not sure Perfect Dark is in development hell either - like it could be but we haven't really heard much to suggest either way - imo they just showed the trailer off when the game was still in pre-production. Xbox were desperate for anything and this is all they had at the time. And the reason we haven't heard anything since is just because it's in normal development and games take 5 years to make. The help from a support studio was typically overblown on N4G because nearly every game has this.
Well, starcraft had it worse than most, if not all of those, took 12 years of just sitting around before it got pushed out.
Battlefronts at 7, half lifes at 6, prey is pushing 7. So theres still hope. But I think A lot of them have what Starcraft Ghost had, they made some nice AAA game, then, next gen started showing up here and there, suddenly this great current gen game is looking mediocre at best, so you push it off, cancel it, whatever.
At least Battlefront will see a release. But just how good or buggy it will be? I hope BF4 isnt any indication.
Prey, last I heard, was seeing a total overhaul and won't resemble the bounty hunter game we originally saw.
HL3 Still has never had any Official confirmation of being in development.
FF vs13 was rebranded as FF15. So there's still hope.
Beyond Good and Evil 2, We only ever git the teaser, which surprised me, because is wasn't a sales generator for Ubisoft.
The Last Guardian. Who knows. Maybe on the PS4.
well looking at the BIG PICTURE (pun intended) and realizing what Valve has accomplished since HL2 Episode 2
We now see why HL3 was pushed to the back burner so it could be a Launch title or huge money maker for Source Engine 2 running on a SteamMachine in your living room on your 4K TV!
Beyond Good and Evil 2 was HAPPILY pushed back to make use of the power on XB1/PS4. Thank Goodness for that.
Star Wars BF3 is in PROPER HANDS so hey no complaints here.
I think Prey 2 needed more power also so XB1/PS4/PC release will arrive by 2015.
Lets be real The LAst Guardian needs the PS4's power.
