Polygon: "In 2010, Capcom tapped the talent behind Metroid Prime to bring Mega Man into the modern age — only to have the game suffer the fate of similar recent attempts to find a new audience for the 8-bit hero.
Codenamed Maverick Hunter, the first-person shooter had the blessing of Mega Man's creator and a talented team tasked with attracting a new generation of fans. But the departure of Keiji Inafune likely killed the most interesting take on the 25-year-old character to date."
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Sometimes, a game getting cancelled is actually a blessing in disguise that either helps the developer or game series reach new heights with what actually does come next or just saves our time and money by keeping what would obliviously have been a bad time lost forever."
okay, I'll bite.
I friggin adored Arkane's version of Prey (it's basically the spiritual successor to System Shock that we never got) but I would have loved to see the bounty hunter iteration of the sequel as well, perhaps as it's own IP.
Scalebound for me was happy it got canned , the concept seemed picked out of a hat lol terrible.
Sometimes a video game will be announced only to be never heard of again. These cancelled video games showed a lot of promise and today GVN will be counting down the best ones!
^ And similarly, Rebelstar 2: The Meklon Conspiracy. The first on GBA is such an overlooked, underrated gem. 9.5/10.
"Top 5 cancelled video games" that list incorrect .
lets start with cancelled games from Snes up to now, that we old skool gamers have waited for for years only to find out it was cancelled.
If I made a top cancelled games. It'll all be Crash Bandicoot and MegaMan games. *sad laugh*
Hardcore Gamer: Maverick Hunter was a first-person take on Mega Man that was set to be developed by Armature Studio before Capcom cancelled the project.
this is very very sad bad bad bad news. :(
Oh Capcom, is there nothing promising towards the Blue Bomber that you didn't cancel...
That feel when jokes from the internet actually turn out to be true.
not sure if I dig this.
This confuses me I kind of like it but it looks so weird :S
