In PSU.com's third instalment of our Missing PS3 titles feature, we examine Coded Arms: Assault and DarkWatch 2, two games that have maintained a high degree of interest among PS3 fans and yet, concurrently, have remained all but non-existant in the public eye for some time now.

Building that hype the first time we saw from the trailers down to the gameplay and their release dates, then suddenly was cancelled due to some major or even minor issues are a shitty moment that I really …
Developers cancel games!? This can't be right?
Lol, every one of these lists always seem to have Thrill Kill on it, I think we can find more recent games than just that old one.
Besides Thrill kill was fun but Wu Tang Shao Lin style (the game it eventually became) was a way better game.
Was 2Days to Vegas going to be an exclusive?
I'm surprised Deep Down doesn't just get announced to be cancelled at this point
Yeah, I had been excited about Deep Down, but it's biggest thrill for me was the tech, which is too far aged at this point. Not sure how they would make it appeal to me again when games like Bloodborne exist.
Some said the same of The Last Guardian. I'd give it more time before writing it off.
@ Woolly_: I suggest you go infest other articles, pal. Majority of your posts are an absolute waste of time.
The Last Guardian was written off for me and every other PS3 owner. Not sure what the status is of Dreams but it also seems to be MIA.
However Sony has the luxury to carry on with tons of other games.
Considering the amount of time, I did consider it a dead game at the time, I think most people had little expectation of it actually getting released. Having said that I haven't played it yet since I only got some new games this week. As for the other games of this list, haven't even heard of any of them except Silent Hills/PT (I really wished they had released that).
@moldy: For you, I'm sure. But please don't lump yourself in with reasonable PS3 owners. You have no idea what "every owner" thought and you would find something negative to say even if Sony paid your bills. So stop.
@ FinalFantasy: I didn't. And that's my point, don't make assumptions based on silence. The Last Guardian is just an example.
I don't think it's been officially cancelled has it?
Probably has been, or at least put on hold.
Nah, it hasn't been cancelled. Last I heard, there was some development hurdles to get over for Capcom, but it was still chuggin' along.
I really wish they would say something about that damn game. I'm sick of getting my hopes up during every gaming event just to end up disappointed. It would be better if they would just let us kno it has been scrapped or something. I really want to kno what happened to the Panta Rhei engine that the game was being developed with.
They list 5 games only one of them was from a Sony studio and 3 of them were from prior generations. And one of the PS4 games was so obscure i hadn't even heard of it. And the other one was PT which was a Konami thing.
But the headline can read "5 PLAYSTATION GAMES THAT WERE CANCELLED" - it's only to give uninformed trolls more ammunition.
A certain company has console releasing soon, expect to see misinformation.
No one will ever be able to forget P.T., no matter how hard they try...

I'm probably one of only a few thousand people that has this horror masterpiece on both the original PS4 and PS4 Pro, including multiple backups on external hard drives just to ensure that this "game" lasts forever. FucKonami! : )

That's bullshit! Not only does P.T. still work perfectly, but you can even re-download it with a proxy server...

My copy erased itself entirely. I thought I was losing my mind until others stated the same.
I don't think Silent Hills was forgotten. Many games have been inspired by it's vision and not to mention many still have the P.T. demo. It lives on in other games.
With Tokyo Game Show merely days away, everyone is anticipating the announcement of new games. Rumors have been flying from all corners of the internet, with whisperings that fan favorite franchises like Legend of Dragoon, Suikoden, Skies of Arcadia, Grandia, Kingdom Hearts and more may make an appearance at TGS 2009. And while PS3Center is definitely looking forward to whatever new reveals take place at the show later this week, PS3Center would also love to hear more on titles that have been announced at previous Tokyo Game Shows but have been deathly silent ever since.
Rainy Woods definitely looks a little dated now, but I would be downright shocked if we didn't hear at least a little bit about it at TGS. MMV has been talking about switching their efforts over to the PS360 ever since their Wii games have been flopping left and right, so it would make sense for Rainy Woods to make it's grand reappearance here.
Theres actually quite alot more vaporware titles out there.

Steambot Chronicles 2
Coded Arms Assault
Redwood Falls
I hope developers put most of these games back in development than putting them on hold especially now that the PS3 is @ $299. Would like to Redwood Falls (Zombie Game) back into development.
Edit: @colossi16
Really?, Well thats good to hear, from the looks of it, it could be a good action game.
Theres a reason the majority of those games are vaporware... they don't look impressive at all...
I'm not going to hold my breath for Wardevil. All of the controversy surrounding its existence leads me to believe it was nothing more than vaporware. I know people are looking forward to it, but it'd be best to just forget about it until something concrete and public surfaces.
Ohhhh... colossi16 .. sooo naive..
don't you know Wardevil was a game our parents used to tell us about at night to make us go to sleep with smiles on our faces..
after time we grew up and realized that it was but a myth, a childrens story.. like santa clause, the easter bunny or a nigerian check that would actually clear..
wardevil does not exist.. allow this old man's childhood memories to drift away in peace and never mention it again..
i was looking forward to that game as well nothing been mentioned since e3 2005 now 4 years later nothing still has been mentioned about it
SCRAWL: "Konami's Coded Arms: Assault was intended to be the sequel to the PSP shooter, Coded Arms. However, the game was cancelled with no real reason given. Konami simply stated that "There are no current plans to bring Coded Arms: Assault to the PS3 at this time"."
is it was canned or at the least on hold because the Unreal Engine wasn't working good enough on the PS3. I hope that Konami goes ahead and reup's on the new version of the UR engine and finishes the game. The game on PSP was pretty sweet.
I'd really like to see the DarkWatch 2.
Need Coded Arms info please :)
I loved the first taste we got all those years ago, Id actually forgotten about it until this article (probably the point).
Get pestering NoUseMerc and dig us up something good!
It was purty'good, I must say.......
It seems like no one here actually read the post. This is news to me, that Coded Arms was officially cancelled, but Konami has been pretty off and on about it. At the very least, we finally have an answer.
