Where The Bloody Hell Are Ya? Five Games That Have Gone Missing Since Announcement

Zach from WellPlayed writes about five games that have been super quiet since their announcement.

[FallenAngel1984]

We’re gonna get Deep Down anyday now 😂

[SullysCigar]

Sony's gonna shadow drop Agent at the next State of Play, I betcha! /S

[Antnee534]

Dude but what if!?

[bloop]

What was the game shown a few years ago with the knight fighting the dragon in the ruins?? What the hell happened to that game??

[SullysCigar]

^ I think that was Deep Down, @bloop.

That's if you mean the one with the knight walking down the corridor and then having to shield himself from (as I recall) amazing dragon flames! They also showed some abilities like freezing time, I think. It was quite Demon's Souls, looking back on it.

[bloop]

I'm familiar with Deep Down but this was another game. It looked like a single player action game playing as a knight in silver armour making his way through the ruins of a castle. The demo ended with this crazy fight with a dragon outside in a large opening. It looked incredible but haven't heard anything about it since.

Edit: I just found it; Project Awakening.

8 days for the win

The question I always had about Deep Down, was it a game or a tech demo? But if the game exists then it will be very exciting if they do end up announcing something on it.

[darthv72]

Capcom already paid that debt off with SFV.

[DVAcme]

Deep Down was never released, but look at the old demos and the movement and camera work. The engine used in Deep Down is what eventually became the REngine. You can see the similarities between it and REmake 2, 3 and 4. So while Deep Down was never released, it wasn't wasted work, since it gave us an excellent game engine Capcom's using to make fantastic games.

Everybody forgot about Agent. It's just hanging out there in the limbo-ist of limbos.

[P_Bomb]

I was just about to say Agent, LOL!

[Bathyj]

I don't really care about any of those. Where's Little Devil inside?

[NecrumOddBoy]

Yeah, the game should’ have never gotten a two-year delay just because some people are a little butt hurt over the tribal enemies.

It looks both charming and adventurous so I hope it’s not in dev hell.

[Bathyj]

This world has gotten ridiculous. Why do we listen to the dumbest people?

[KeeseToast]

Do you have any source on that? The game was first announced ans funded as a Kickstarter as early as 2015 and has been stuck in development hell ever since. From searching the web I found no indication at all that the most recent delay has anything to do with them replacing the tribal enemies.

Here is your delay Keese. Redesigning all the enemies and zones they resided in to be.....whatever is safe to be an enemy these days.

[KeeseToast]

@Brain
LOL as if changing one type of enemy design is the cause for a 2 year delay. Thanks @all for the disagrees people here have no idea how game development works but are happy to jump on any opportunity to call out the „woke agenda“

[Terry_B]

Did not even know about any of them ^^ But where is hellblade II?

[darthv72]

Ask and ye shall receive: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[Terry_B]

Lol..guess the devs read my comment ;)

But seriously, I hope the game will be good actually and we see some gameplay.

[ModsDoBetter]

Deep Down please. 😂
One day, I’m holding out hope.
Hard to think that it’s been 10 years since it was announced.

Last update was Shawn Layden saying in 2021 that it may be picked up by someone else within Capcom following Ono’s departure.

[senorfartcushion]

We’ve had 17 thousand Dark Souls clones come out. We’ve had more Deep Down than a pornstar on coke.

[TheLigX]

Basically every Microsoft game.

[masterfox]

those are in the vapor chambers, alongside Senua and the chinese monkey game, and lots and lots of other korean games too.

[darthv72]

Here is an update to senua: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[jambola]

Pragmata got a delay announcement so that didn't disappear

[jambola]

But, does anyone remember wild?
That's one I'm hoping to see again someday

[BrainSyphoned]

Forspoken wishing it could crawl back on this list.

[Fist4achin]

Scalebound?!

[FalcorMononoke]

Also wondering where the port of Kingdom Come Deliverance for the Switch is at. Who knows, maybe one day we actually see Mega Man Legends 3 or Scalebound. We did finally get Metroid Dread after all.

[Godmars290]

Still being developed. Maybe?

[Bobertt]

Wow i didn't realize it's been so long since Pragmanta's trailer it feels like it was last year. What happened to Fable 4 and Hellblade 2 those were announced in 2019-2020 i think.

[Ben Dover]

Beyond Good and Evil 2?

[Chocoburger]

I can't be the only person who still wants True Fantasy Live Online for the original Xbox. Right?

The game looked beautiful and sounded fun. It's an MMORPG where you didn't even have to battle enemies, you could just open up a shop in town to help other gamers out.
