Cancelled games you would love to see finished?

[VidiyaGaemer]

Hey RGT. I would like to know which games you would like to see to completion that were cancelled, even if they were released as a different version later on.

For me, nothing would please me more than to see RE4's development materials combined together into a finished version of what it was going for. There are 3 versions, the Castle, Hallucination, and Zombie versions, that were sadly discarded as the development moved towards action for the release version instead of the survival horror of before. The story was to advance the story of the prior sequels in a way that was truer to the established series convention imo. It had the potential to surpass RE REmake as the best survival horror game of all time. So to resurrect it and finish it, with the same director and dev team, would do great justice to the classic Resident Evil I believe.

Steambot Chronicles 2 is the eternal "one that got away," for me. What an absolute legend of a game that would've been. And, it was something the PS3 desperately needed in its lineup.

Prey 2

Also; I do love that you want to bring back the people that dismissed that concept because they thought it wasn't good.

From what I researched, the dev team was sad when the internal shake up happened, the shift from survival horror to action. It took persuasion by the newer director who dismissed the previous one to make the changes towards action.

Only the zombie versions, the others were discarded because of technical/budget reasons, and then there's Devil may Cry.

So you want yo bring them all together but you want Hibashi to direct it? Or Mikami?
or Kamiya? (last one is a joke)

Needs no mention but Megaman Legends 3

Thinking about it now, I want all 4 of them combined into one, grand epic survival horror game, including the Stylish version which I forgot to mention in the OP, which was re worked into an action game too, DMC, with Hiroshi Shibata as the director and Kawamura as the writer. The other writer, Noboru Sugimura, passed away in 2005 iirc.

Dante's Purgatorio, because we need more epic scale biblical mythos in our action games. Also old Gow formula rocks.

Leaks were pretty hype honestly.

Was that a planned sequel to EA Dante's Inferno?

Pleaaaaaaseeeee.

It was finished, too.

Dick move, Capcom (or whoever was in charge of it).

I SO BADLY want to see those companion games to Call Of Cthulhu: Dark Corners Of The Earth.

No mention of Donkey Kong Racing?

It’s definitely not possible to bring this topic up without mentioning scalebound so that’s a safe obligatory mention. Poor game was probably a victim of bad timing. The technology back then was probably not enough to fulfill its insane ambitions, if the project was restarted today, it would have an easier time realizing its vision with current hardware.

THANK YOU an actual defender of Scalebound!!!!! Didnt think there were any. I'm still confident that Kamiya and co. wouldve delivered a banger game, but people overreacted to initial showings ignorant that in game dev the game often changes drastically. Who knows how the final game might have been like. I hope justice can be done for it one day.

The demo was going to be released on the 3DS store first for free, then paid -- nothing happened, then they showed the nearly finished product at a trade show, but canned it due to a "lack of interest", even though the official page had thousands of registered users.

The idea of a Capcom vault reminds me of that old gag about the "Disney" vault. Although instead of dark, horrible secrets, they throw away promising IP's.
