The Top 7… Awesome-looking games we REALLY hope aren’t cancelled

Gamesradar- "Game cancellations are a sad reality of the video game industry. There are so many moving parts - hardware, software, marketing, promotion, publishing - that some titles fall through the cracks, no matter how gargantuan and obligatory they might seem. Sometimes it happens abruptly, while other times the cancellation of a game is never truly revealed until, well, the game just doesn't come out.

That's not to say that there are no signs. Usually it's fairly obvious when a game is getting cut, and there have been a number of major games this generation that appear to be precariously hanging over a bottomless pit, despite the assurance from the developers that everything is fine. We've rounded up the games we have the worst feelings about, and we hope we're wrong about literally all of them."

Ole FFV:XIII will you ever see the light of day? It'll be probably pushed to next-gen and given a new name not associated with FF XIII.Kinda like how The Bouncer was suppose to be a sequel to Ehergiez on ps1. Hopefully better.

edgeofsins4287d ago

Didn't know The Bouncer was supposed to be a sequel to it. I really want to play it again. I only got to play it a little bit when I was like 12.

Here is a picture of a ponce that is sniffing his gloves after fingering his bum hole , should suit the final-fantasy community down to a tee and hopefully actually be the Final Fantasy , dam false advertisers.

"And not associate with XIII"
Kind of hard for that to happen when Versus is centered around Etro and L'cie.
With that said, I don't see anything wrong with FFVersus XIII become XV even as a Fabula nova Crystallis title.

DrRobotnik4287d ago

By association, I mean numerical name. Sure it will be in the same dimension as XIII. But just a different name. FF XII was in Ivalice, the same world as FF Tactics. But they didn't call it FF Tactics XII.

_-EDMIX-_4287d ago

?? LOL! So push it to a lessor install base to make money? Dumb...just dumb. Your reason why it would is so stupid its not even funny.

It will be on PS3 or 360 too. Only because all this time could had been making a port OR they where working on other projects.

DrRobotnik4286d ago

Was all that really necessary?

20 Awesome Canceled Games You'll Never Get To Play

You can understand some games getting canceled, but these awesome looking games still baffle us to this very day.

"Tommy saving the planet from an army of aliens after they abducted him and his entire bar, with the game ending on the promise that Tommy would be back, but that promise was never fulfilled"

The thing is with the original Prey 2 that Tommy wasn't even the main character, they replaced him with some generic looking space bounty hunter. It was a refreshing change to see an awesome Native American character with ancestral like powers fight aliens yet they ditched him. It was only after an outcry they showed much later in a new preview that Tommy was in the game as an NPC.

I'd have prefered a real sequel with Tommy as the main character, literally picking right up from the originals ending.

As for Eight Days...Sony really needs to pick this up

If Amy Hennig was still at ND, I'd have loved to see her tackle it after what she did with Uncharted.

isarai49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

I thought that was awesome too, and honestly i wish people werent so damn critical about cultural variety in games. I feel like people try to ruin devs lives if even one detail is off about their culture in a game and so everyone is too scared to try anymore

isarai50d ago (Edited 50d ago )

One of the lead engine programmers for Prey 2 at Human Head was my programming instructor when i was taking game design. This game was in limbo at the time and we asked once and only once about this game, the misery in his eyes when he told us "this is the 1st and only time ill ask you to never ask me about that game" was something ill never forget😅 he used a couple assets through the curriculum for teaching purposes but nothing very tangible. Just a function here, a 3d prop there. Such a shame. Years later i saw him at a magic tournament, we caught up and he still thinks about that game and how it's "practically done" probably sitting on a drive somewhere

shinoff218349d ago (Edited 49d ago )

Practically done? Jeez that fking blows because that looked much more interesting then what bethsada made. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the one bethsada made.

Lmno looked interesting.
I'd knock titanfall and fez off the list. Add something else. Scarface 2 man only if would've been awesome. Prey 2 should be higher to. Either way not a bad list. Out of 20 there's only 2 I'd hate on.

isarai49d ago

That gen got a lot of games canned right before the finish line. Cipher Complex, Battlefront 3, legacy of kain dead sun just to name a few

XiNatsuDragnel49d ago

Games that need to come out: Battlefront 3, 8 days, and timesplitter 4.

Skuletor48d ago

One that's not on the list is Killing Day, I remember seeing the trailer in 2005 and being impressed at the time. Being Ubisoft you know it would have been a AAAA game too, lol
2 Days to Vegas and The Getaway 3 are two other games that seemed promising but never came out.

I've played 15, and I wouldn't consider any of those underrated TBH. Some of them are pretty high rated.

banger88136d ago

That's amazing, Gamingbolt actually put all 15 games on the same page.

shinoff2183135d ago

I. Not seeing anything on that list underrated. I never played concrete genie, the ASTRO vr,and one other but I forgot the name already. Nothing on there was underrated at all imo.

persona4chie135d ago

There’s only 4 of those games I never played, and no most of those aren’t underrated.

Final Fantasy XVI Has Finally Given Donald Duck A Worthy Opponent

For a long time, it's been widely accepted amongst Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts fans that Donald Duck is the most powerful mage ever to exist, mainly due to his use of the stupidly powerful Zettaflare spell towards the end of Kingdom Hearts 3. This spell is one step up from Teraflare, a spell which was used in Final Fantasy XIV that was so powerful that it completely wiped out the base game, giving the developers a canonical reason to let them bin everything and start again from scratch.

Now you're armed with this information, you can see how it was pretty surprising for Donald Duck of all characters to bust out Zettaflare and establish himself as the most powerful character in Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts lore. However, now that Final Fantasy XVI has arrived and delivered a whole new cast of characters, a new challenger has arrived to provide Donald with some much needed competition.
