Chances are that over the years there has been one or even a number of games that caught your attention, only to slip away into oblivion. Some of them more high profile than others, but there is always a sense of mystery and curiosity about these games that we never got a chance to play. We will look at some of these titles that never made it to store shelves in a multi-part series that will provide some insight on what these games were about, what happened to cause their demise, and if there is any chance that we might still get to play them.
Hell is Us is a game set in the fictional country of Hadea, where Rémi, a former peacekeeper, returns to find his parents. The game features a blend of future technology, nature, and horror, with a unique atmosphere and design.
Obey, hide or fight the system. It's all in your hands. And remember: "War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength."
"Ministry of Truth: 1984" is an upcoming political dystopian simulation game developed by Ukrainian studio 'False Memory Dept.'
Ross Scott—also known as Accursed Farms on YouTube—has been fighting tooth and nail for almost a full year to help spearhead game preservation. Starting after it was announced that Ubisoft's The Crew would be shutting down, permanently ending support for the game, Scott launched the "Stop Killing Games" initiative.
That makes a twofold deadline for the Stop Killing Games initiative. Or, at least, one headed up by Scott: The UK petition, which ends July 14, and the EU Citizens' Initiative, which ends July 3.
If you live in the EU then Please sign this or our game ownership rights and game preservation is
at stake. I know there isnt much time left but please consider signing the petition
People whine and in the end don't do a thing. Then whine more when they get screwed some more smh. If this makes it then it'll be monumental for consumers. That Pirate software guy was no help either smh.
Winter and Sadness looked fantastic. It's definitely a shame. Highlander is also a title I wish would've continued development. But no, at the time these games were in production and announced, games like HAZE were hitting the shelves. Ridiculous.
Sadness looks really amazing. It's really a shame.
Another game that bums me out that it was cancelled was This is Vegas or whatnot.
and apparently Mirror's Edge 2.
..This is all very heartbreaking.
I actually played SC: Ghost when I attended E3 2003 (the only one I have ever gone to) and I still want that game to be out. It was like MGS meets SC. I'm hoping they make it for next gen consoles. It was a great idea, I just think they need to start again from scratch.
I really wanted to see more Mirror's Edge. I think the franchise has so much potential. Even more so now because of motion controls on every platform, which I think would fit well with the game. Even though I'm not a motion gamer, I can appreciate the idea of new gameplay experiences.
Hmm.. think I'm gonna go replay me some Mirror's Edge.
Me: *logs onto N4G* "Noooo! WTF is this?!?!"
My girl: "What?!"
Me: "Mirrors Edge 2 was cancelled" :(
My girl: "didnt you beat the first one in like 4 hours?"
Me: "thats not the point this game was so unique and as a franchise had so much potential and../"
My girl: "uhh okay so can we go to dinner now?"
Me: *in bummed out voice* "Yea I guess"
