Stu at Sushimonster85 writes 'The story of a game stuck in development hell is often a sad one. The shared attribute among majority of these games – their profile. An average game, without an established fanbase awaiting its release, would just get canceled and no one would be any the wiser. Here we take a look at a few games, some with no release in sight, some with a little brighter prospects, but all with an audience eagerly awaiting any shred of information thrown their way.'
Cultured Vultures: These 15 unresolved video cliffhangers could be solved in the future, though if we’re really honest with ourselves, we all know there’s no chance in hell of that happening.
Never say never, I really didn't expect to ever see Space Marine 2 and 12 years later its almost here.
So there is still hope for all these games.
I've completed 5 of the games on the list, but the author forgot to include Advent Rising. It was supposed to be a trilogy, but it bombed hard, and the two sequels never got made. It was Mass Effect, a console generation before Mass Effect.
The game is buggy and unpolished, it needed a few more months of development, but the potential was there. At the end of the game, you have all these super abilities, I remember the stomp attack that created a shockwave being especially powerful.
I personally think days gone will recieve some sort of sequel at some point. I'm personally also hoping it's not the rumored multiplayer online stuff. I'd think most that enjoyed it would rather thisnto.
Sony needs to dust off Sly Cooper and Days Gone so needs a sequel two of my favorite Sony titles. Bulletstorm I love great game wish it also got a sequel. And I wish Namco would finally give Enslaved a sequel another great game.
GB: "With this feature, we run down 15 of the most underrated games on the PS4 that never received the love and appreciation they truly deserve."
I've played 15, and I wouldn't consider any of those underrated TBH. Some of them are pretty high rated.
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.
There’s only 4 of those games I never played, and no most of those aren’t underrated.
Daily Video Game writes: "If you are a fan of indie games, PlayStation Store has good news for you! PlayStation Store is running a new game sale for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 gamers that heavily discounts over 1000 indie games right now!"
Shenmue III isn't even in development. The article mentions Gio Corsi and Phil Spencer have both acknowledged it, but Sony and its fans have been more more acknowledging than any other company/group. Phil Spencer has actively confirmed he has no interest in his company bringing Shenmue to fans, whilst Boyes and Corsi have encouraged its future on PS4, going as far as proving their #buildingthelist philosophy actually works.
Beyond Good & Evil 2 is probably in early development, but Michel Ancel is probably more focused on his own studio's new IP, than that game, and I don't think Ubisoft sees it as a priority compared to some of their other franchises like Assasin's Creed and Rayman.
The Last Guardian is a PS4 game, and Sony would be wise to show the game this E3 to inject some confidence into its state of development.
I'm pretty sure Agent was canned years ago.

Wouldn't say I'm overdoing the quote. I think we're both right here. I didn't say that he has no personal interest in Shenmue III. He actually said that he doesn't want to focus his [first-party] resources on making it happen, which is more or less the same thing as not being interested in making it happen, because that's the only way it's going to happen.
I also didn't say that there aren't a lot of Xbox fans passionate about seeing a sequel on their console. I said that there have been more Sony fans (or those understanding of PS4's feasibility over other consoles for the future of the series) leading the call to #SaveShenmue.
There are more measurable reasons why there have been more passionate responses from Sony fans than any other. Most of this started when Mark Cerny was seen in a photo with Suzuki (they're good friends), and then a whole other bunch of things relating to Sony and PS4 (Cerny translating at the Shenmue post-mortem presentation, Yoshida having lunch/dinner with Suzuki etc).
The Twitter account @ShenmueForSony started months before one was created in representation of Xbox. The whole argument put forward by Adam Koralik ( https://www.youtube.com/wat... ) that makes total sense, came before there were any hardcore Xbox fans making the comparable points for having it on their console - other than "well SII was on the original Xbox", without understanding the reasons why it was on there in the first place. That was really my point.
In regards to you not understanding why there is so much fuss surrounding it.... it's so incredibly simple. It's not about what it will offer in today's industry - it's about long-time fans being able to play a conclusion to the story as we expected to 15 years ago. Most of us won't be affected if the kids of today can't deal with its deliberately slow pace and meticulous attention to detail. Most campaigning for it want a conclusion to one of the all-time best games, executed in a way that resembles the Shenmue vision of yesteryear, whilst complimenting new generation hardware and modern video game design.
Not to mention, Shenmue was open-world in a sense that is absolutely incomparable to Yakuza and Sleeping Dogs. Both of those games are open-world in the traditional arcade action sense. Shenmue has arcade moments, but is a different beast and still deserves a sequel despite the advancements and expectations of the modern mainstream open-world game.
Team Ico missed an entire generation that lasted 8+ years. I'm curious as to what TLG will be when it releases. Old school ps2 Era gameplay or something else....

Last Guardian.
Both games are well past the hype apex now and could likely only disappoint. Although, a VR Half Life 3 may be a novel enough experience to be revolutionary.
