Sigh, another year passes, the hype has died down, all hope is lost, and gamers everywhere are starting to come to grips with reality — these games may never come out. Join us for a depressing look back at the games that still refuse to return our calls, they ignored us in 2012 and they’ll probably do the same in 2013.
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.
It appears that the first screenshots for Rockstar's canceled spy game, Agent, have been leaked online.
I thought this got cancelled then rolled into LA Noir
Also, does anyone remember the feature they were supposed to have where you received a text in the game it came to your actual mobile phone?
I've already seen quite a few of these years ago. But still, it's a shame it was cancelled. Hopefully one day we'll get another globetrotting spy thriller. Maybe MS can get the rights to Alpha Protocol from Sega, or have Obsidian make a spiritual successor.
Versus XIII could definitely make a 2013 release... in Japan anyway. They'll be showing some new gameplay before E3. We'll prolly get it in NA in 2014.
As for Agent. I'm fairly sure that if it's still in development they'll likely move it to ps4.
Half-Life 3 and Beyond Good and Evil.... well.... don't hold your breath.
Well IF Lighting Returns comes out in summer(maybe) I could see Versus coming in Winter. But having Versus as a 2013 release is a pretty big stretch. It would be perfect tho to have LR:XIII and VersusXIII release together in 2013. Thats a good year of final fantasy for me.
Versus: Very elusive rpg square undeniably scrapped.
