Pop Arma writes, "Developers have begun to regard the platform with caution. Some titles, such as Gabrielle’s Ghostly Groove 3D and Crush3d!, have been delayed until their respective companies can assess the current state of the 3DS while an alarming number of others have been outright cancelled. Consumers and analysts began to cry doom, comparing (as has become tradition) the console to Nintendo’s infamous Virtual Boy, and even numbering the 3DS’s days.
But are these cancellations really testaments to the console’s health?"
If you're a Mega Man fan, you might remember the cancellation of Mega Man Legends 3 in 2011. While fans were encouraged to show their support for a new entry even after the project had been axed, it's now 2020 and nothing seems to have come of it.
Now, out of the blue, the Mega Man Legends composer Makoto Tomozawa has asked fans on Twitter if they would be up for crowdfunding Mega Man Legends 3.
I'm down for a crowd funding campaign and if this works, hopefully Capcom will open up a crowd funding campaign for Dino Crisis next.
At this point a fan done remake of either of the first two done in UE4,5 or Unity would likely have more to show before a C&D - and Capcom still wouldn't have done anything towards other than the C&D!
Sony should back this up like they did with Shenmue 3. The series started on Playstation and it should end on Playstation.
Establishing a new video game franchise is not easy. You can to create lore, develop strong characters, and continuously craft gameplay that keeps players engaged throughout the series. But some games franchises go dormant, either because their developers or publishers have moved on or simply get canceled. Some games shouldn't remain in the dark, some deserve a new installment. Here are 5 games franchises that deserve a new entry.
I'd love to see a return of Resistance. Once you got over the fact it was supposed to be a "Halo Killer" and just took it at its face value, it was actually a pretty good series. Some ups and downs for sure, but I'd like to see its comeback.
Yeah I agree, Iiked that series and want a ps5 return . I wouldn't mind a new Socom and motorstorm.
Yes! I hope sony starts bringing back some more of their competitive online and co-op games.
I hope they announce a remake first...
Not a lot of people got to experience the series...
And let Bluepoint handle it like the Uncharted collection...
Similar to that collection, the first two games don't hold up by today's standards...
The author should just give up on any ME game, Bioware is pretty much horrid these days. So I don't expect anything good to come out of them any time soon.
Many high-profile games have been canceled. Here are the ones that should come back in some way, shape, or form.
Now that is one MP game I miss. Bring it on, provided its not messed up with predatory MTs.
I loved mag until they patched it so much it was unrecognizable a year later. They gave into people whining.
eventually even prone light machine guns couldn't shoot straight even if you tap the trigger, and assult rifles became basically the only relevant weapon. It's been so long though I don't remember all the details, but it was beyond just that. I still fondly remember it though. Get a squad of 12 friends and you could turn and entire 256 match alone
Some of these games were never played by or released to the public....how do we know they were ever actually good?
I have no clue if scalebound would have been any good... But the game was marketed well enough that I wish it hadn't been cancelled :/ To be fair loads of games that were good and sometimes great were "brought back" and were total disasters (Duke Nukem comes to mind for example).
By all counts the Scalebound shown at E3s was not what the actual game in development looked like. If such is true, or if the four player co-op thing, then its stronger reason why they canceled it. Why it was so long development before it was.
Having looked at the trailer for Scalebound I was appaled by the cringe-worthy voice acting although from the very limited time watching the battle scenes the game IMHO had potential.
Actually, the trailers were really boring and the demo of the gameplay was crap in performance. The desire for a good game has created a hype campaign in this game.
Okay, Mega Man 3 wasn't going to happen because Capcom never had intentions of letting it release. Assassin's Creed isn't cancelled as the concept for the 3DS game became Revelations. DJ Hero 3D got cancelled because Activision killed the entire franchise. Saints Row was an XBLA port and never got off the ground, while My Garden was mostly a tech-demo and lacked substance.
So, no, they aren't signs of a failing system.
I couldn't agree with you more about them not being signs of the system's "failure".
The purpose of this article is to address the myriad I've seen that consider these cancellations the death knell of the 3DS.
Signs of a failing system? No. Signs that these companies don't care about us? Almost for certain.
Hmm, this is wierd , i feel like they should refund peoples money back and work on something more amazing, or the option to get the newer NEXT GEN worthy console for alot less, when i bought my Sega Dreamcast, a few months later i heard they were discontinuing it and i just traded it back in for my money, very simple no Remorse or hatred, if they would have announced a revised more powerful Sega Game Console, i would have gladly have waited ... But after no news of anything new from sega ,i put that money together and sold my ps1 with my 20 games, and Bought a PS2' i was a Twisted Metal Fan and that TM: Black trailer was amazing.... Main thing that puts me off of this console was the way the top screen and bottom screen hit each other and the displat versions at best buy had the buttons lifting up and people complaining about 3D headaches, theres something wrong with my eyes where i really have to strain my eyes and focus in order to get any 3d effect, even watching Avatar on the Huge IMAX screen ... Was a pain , maby i need thicker glasses or im sorta crossed eyed' im hoping this fad will fad sooner than later, bring on the OLED Holographic technology
ANOTHER one of these articles, seriously?
