It’s usually bаd news bears fοr thе fate οf a particular game whеn wе gο nearly three years without hearing ѕο much аѕ a peep аbουt іt frοm іtѕ creators — hence ουr general lack οf surprise аt Square Enix’s recent revelation thаt Highlander: Thе Game‘s development hаѕ bееn halted.

"I’d like to see some dead games come back to life…games that never were, that should have been this generation, that when revived for next gen consoles would re-animate into a new life with even better improvements.
These are the Top 10 games I’d like to see revived at E3 2013 for the next gen. Do you think Xbox One and PS4 or Wii U should have any of these games?"
EA would be crazy not to make this game. Even if it was horrible (which hopefully it wouldn't be) it would sell!
I want Square Enix to bring back Chrono Cross. Since Hudson merged with Konami they have enough funds to resurrect Bloody Roar 5 back from the dead, I would want to see that. And Capcom needs to bring back Darkstalkers and give it a modern day makeover.
Every year, we as gamers are practically flooded for choice, with games of all genres knocking on our consoles, provided that we can afford them all of course.
But while a ton of games hit the market every month, even more get cancelled and thrown into the oblivion bin, never to see the light of day.
There’s quite a few such titles that don’t make the cut every year, games which sound fantastic, but will be thrown away quicker than a new years resolution.
Today, we’re going to take a look at the Highlander game that never was, a game that would have been a current-gen tale of the immortals, told over thousands of years.
But in the end, there could be only none.

"Prior to E3'09 I listed 22 games gone Missing In Action (MIA) that I hoped to see at E3. Well in this update you will see which ones re-appeared, which ones remain lost, and which ones are stuck in production waiting for a publisher to help out."
If only...
Rare are working on Natal along with two other projects. Hopefully Molyneux will bring the shy guys at Rare out into the sunlight to spill the beans.
I'd definitely be interested in a new Viva Pinata or Perfect Dark with Natal controls.
I was downloading SSF2 Turbo HD and when I looked at my hard drive as it was downloading it came up as Perfect Dark, very odd lol.
Rares KI3 with natal would probably be very popular....
My choice would be an all new pushing the limits proper Banjo threeie and or a new full blown new gen Conker.Done with all the attention Rare and Microsoft can give them...Go all out,bring some new mechanic,raise the bar.....If not Banjo or Conker,give me Kameo 2 and or a new gen cart racer.....A new act/adv/platformer IP would be OK in my book too.....I just hope they can return to their former glory....They need to push for it,and not settle for just good enough...
Edge Of Twilight...I saw it at E3,looked at some nice target renders,saw some pre-viz art from sections in the game,and came away pretty impressed,a sleeper hit in the making? I do doubt it's Fall 09' release however,but hope I am wrong,and it does come,has potential....
Halo Chronicles... I have two former art/work partners that worked on it as late as August 08'.they did concept art,design.....My best quess is it will be all about natal and 3D....blink,blink....
Not yet. Rare are hard at work at SOMETHING...question is what? Perfect Dark Zero 2 for Natal? That would be cool...
Well I'd certainly like to play for Ms Dark, that's for sure.
I thought we would have heard about some of the ones still MIA though, plus there were a few quite horses that slipped through no one was even expecting . ..
While they are MIA, there's still work being done on them, it's just that the dev are a bit quite on them, while some have simply been moved aside for faster moving items that bring in the $$'s so the other newer IP's can be worked on.
We're just going through our huge Xbox 360 games listing atm, removing released and canceled games, and adding a swag of new ones that are poppping up around the globe.
I'd love to know the percentage of games that make it to market that were listed for 360...
Is it the economic downturn or is it the rise in gaming standards with the big publishers putting out mega games that dwarf interest in the little guys? Is it just too hard if you're not Ubi, EA, Activision etc.??
I really doubt too many of those will be finished; they may be made for PC or show up in a year or two. I wonder what the devs do when they have a game on hold?
Make another that will be put on hold or make a Wii ior DS game...
Dead Island....man, you developers think your sooooo funny, well, you know what, you kinda are as i thoughht that Alan Wake was gonna be pushed back a fair bit, still, great list
The number of games 'coming' from PC platform increases every month mate, not decreases. Many have shown up on our listing over the years, and a good number of those have made it into reality as developers realize the huge untapped market that is available on consoles, if they can capture it.
Doesn't make either platform better or worse, or one game better than the other, it simply means we as gamers get more games, better and bigger choices, and the industry grows.
What happened to all the MMORPGs that were supposed to come out on 360? They just did a Casper....
They certainly did, where was APB, and Huxley??? I think I heard some rumblings about them somewhere, but unsure. Those two would certainly be interesting games on the 360, or any console for that matter.
Final Fantasy XIII should had got the same treatment
