Cancelled Games
-
Remember when Microsoft had unreasonable expectations from Japanese game developers?
-
I was really looking forward to Argartha. It was also being developed by Adeline Software, the company that made my much loved Little Big Adventure series, so I was rather hurt when I heard it got cancelled.
-
Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned had no reason to look as good as it did, and then it was cancelled for a shitty Tron: Legacy tie in game. Brutal.

-
Chrono Break, Though not officially announced, the name was registered by Squeenix in Japan.
Also, TimeSplitters 4
-
Steambot Chronicles 2, it's been a decade since then, I still want it, there's still nothing like it, I'm still hoping that someday Granzella will release it

I find myself in the minority of this opinion of LA Noire was one of my top 5 games from last gen so when Bondi was working on Whore of the Orient I could not be more hyped. 50's detective noir vibes are so rare in video games. Then it disappeared forever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzlVkkAl2bA
Second would be what Splinter Cell Conviction was originally. It was more Jason Bourne style where you could pick up any object and use it to fight and it had more open world feel and you could blend into crowds and stuff giving it a real rogue agent vibe. But they changed it into the traditional stealth shooter that was pretty meh by the time it came out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPeWpTW2qGM

@TheTaulbster The idea for that game looked kinda interesting.... but that is not a good title. At all. I personally hate it, but more importantly that's not an easy sell. Imagining them saying that name at a press conference is kinda funny.
-
@Inustar It's an especially bad title because of how easy it is to shorten it up.
Whorient.
Now that's a title.
-
@Inustar Yeah, the title is bad, but it never even got officially revealed so they could've changed it
