When some businessman has a sudden urge to make Las Vegas a family-friendly getaway as boring as the Grand Canyon, that is the day that Sin City is no longer Sin City. So what happens when that exact thing happens in Midway's upcoming action game? Do you sit around, pose for photo-ops, and strap on your fanny pack? No. This is not Disneyland. This is Vegas.
This is Vegas takes cues from both the Grand Theft Auto series and The Sims. Technically classified as an action game, Vegas simulates real world events on an exaggerated level. Over the course of the game your character will be gambling, partying, racing, and fighting. Also a bit of a sandbox game, each of these actions progresses a single storyline forward at a pace the player decides.
The games industry can be a cruel mistress. Here are 5 games we would like to see resurrected for current platforms

Unfortunately, not all video games that are announced see the light of day, despite months of rumours and speculation. Console Monster looks at ten video games that were cruelly taken away from us."
A Perfect Dark sequel (after PDZ).
Kameo 2 (but I always saw Kameo as similar to Starfox Adventures in style myself).
Conker's Other Bad Fur Day (Original Xbox had a remake of the original game and Xbox One now has the Project Spark adventure instead).
Donkey Kong Racing (as Rare were bought by Microsoft).
GameZone writes, "When looking forward, it’s hard to not also look back and imagine what some games would be like if they came out today. What about the ones that never came out at all? While the chances of any of the following games going back into development are slim-to-none, it’s exciting to consider how much better or more practical they would be today."
As soon as I read the title the first game that came to my mind was Starcraft: Ghosts.
while i agree that some canceled games deserve to get released on the next gen, some canceled games should stay canceled. for example: beyond: two souls.
Beyond two souls is great,have you actually played it?
I would love to see a beyond good and evil 2 (not cancelled strictly speaking but it has been in limbo for a long time).
@robtion haha of course i've beaten it. multiple times. it's annoying when people judge games they haven't even played.
I thought Eight Days, as well as the getaway, not to mention Heavenly Sword 2 as well as red wood falls, all those games could have been great, sad they were cancelled.
The Outsider, thats the game I am still waiting for...
and Wardevil.. although I don't think either will see the light of day.
I do think they were too big for last gen, but this gen just starting could handle them I think.
For all we know, Wardevil could've been another game with great ideas, but poor execution.
Anyways, maybe someone will ressurect it later.
The game may not be cancelled, but it doesn't exist either. Microsoft didn't see any profit in the IP, so i doubt they would fund another.
Personally it was one of the best JRPG's i've played.
"An AI partner hadn’t really been done right by that point"
lol sure, a little game from 2004 called Half-Life 2 says hi.
What one would that be? It has been a few years since i last played HL2 so my memory could just be bad but i do not remember any AI partners in it and i beat the game atleast half a dozen times.
The only AI i remember was Dog and it was never really a partner.
