TheHDRoom: "Endless attention and accolades were directed at the big first-person shooter third acts during the 2011 E3 video game expo last week. Games like Gears of War 3 on Xbox 360, Resistance 3 on Playstation 3, and cross-platform powerhouses Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 are slam dunks due to the continuation of a formula that's been established and proven successful in their prior acts. Even Uncharted: Drake's Deception, though a third-person shooter, is also following the same path to guaranteed riches.
Other franchises, however, are looking for new life via reinvention rather than regurgitation. Whether by returning to their roots or taking a hard left into new territory, each upcoming game stood out during my E3 demo rounds and each is more than worth keeping tabs on until they eventually arrive in stores. "

You can understand some games getting canceled, but these awesome looking games still baffle us to this very day.
"Tommy saving the planet from an army of aliens after they abducted him and his entire bar, with the game ending on the promise that Tommy would be back, but that promise was never fulfilled"
The thing is with the original Prey 2 that Tommy wasn't even the main character, they replaced him with some generic looking space bounty hunter. It was a refreshing change to see an awesome Native American character with ancestral like powers fight aliens yet they ditched him. It was only after an outcry they showed much later in a new preview that Tommy was in the game as an NPC.
I'd have prefered a real sequel with Tommy as the main character, literally picking right up from the originals ending.
As for Eight Days...Sony really needs to pick this up
If Amy Hennig was still at ND, I'd have loved to see her tackle it after what she did with Uncharted.
I thought that was awesome too, and honestly i wish people werent so damn critical about cultural variety in games. I feel like people try to ruin devs lives if even one detail is off about their culture in a game and so everyone is too scared to try anymore
One of the lead engine programmers for Prey 2 at Human Head was my programming instructor when i was taking game design. This game was in limbo at the time and we asked once and only once about this game, the misery in his eyes when he told us "this is the 1st and only time ill ask you to never ask me about that game" was something ill never forget😅 he used a couple assets through the curriculum for teaching purposes but nothing very tangible. Just a function here, a 3d prop there. Such a shame. Years later i saw him at a magic tournament, we caught up and he still thinks about that game and how it's "practically done" probably sitting on a drive somewhere
Practically done? Jeez that fking blows because that looked much more interesting then what bethsada made. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the one bethsada made.
Lmno looked interesting.
I'd knock titanfall and fez off the list. Add something else. Scarface 2 man only if would've been awesome. Prey 2 should be higher to. Either way not a bad list. Out of 20 there's only 2 I'd hate on.
That gen got a lot of games canned right before the finish line. Cipher Complex, Battlefront 3, legacy of kain dead sun just to name a few
One that's not on the list is Killing Day, I remember seeing the trailer in 2005 and being impressed at the time. Being Ubisoft you know it would have been a AAAA game too, lol
2 Days to Vegas and The Getaway 3 are two other games that seemed promising but never came out.
did the lara croft picture fool you into thinking the headline says 4 Video Game Sequels From E3 That Are Hot?
That wasn't the intention at all but funny now that you point it out.
I know he explained why they aren't sequels... but they are.
Technically some of them are sequels.. Just because the title is switched up doesnt mean anything. For example, Modern Warfare 3 is COD 8. Halo 4 is Halo 7. It's all under the same name and same series.
