Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
The "I Want That Game Uncancelled No Matter What Anyone Else Says" Thread
I think it's about time there's a thread like this.
You basically say whichever cancelled game you want uncancelled. That's it.
As for me, I would personally like it if LucasArts uncancelled "Sam and Max: Freelance Police". I mean, if LucasArts is really serious about saying they want to returning to their graphic adventure roots, they'd do this.
And besides, I'd personally like to hear Bill Farmer and Nick Jameson reprise their roles as the canine shamus and lagomorph companion, respectively. I think they've been ostracized for WAY too long. If LucasArts brought back the authentic Monkey Island voices, they can bring back the authentic Sam and Max voices.
And LucasArts, if you refuse to sell this game because Telltale has the Sam and Max license, then at least give the rights and the programming code of that game to Telltale instead of keeping it all locked up. The people there worked on that game, so they should be allowed to finish what they started. And if you don't revive that game before PAX East, then I will make you revive that game at PAX East... because I'm currently thinking of attending. I will walk up to your booth and ask for that very game in person... I PROMISE.
Okay, now that I've gotten that off my chest, anyone else want a cancelled game uncancelled?
Seriously, that game sounded so awesome. I mean, you can explore and raid the overworld? Hell yes! That game would have been a decade ahead of its time if it had come out.
I'll second Starcraft: Ghost. Much like Warcraft Adventures, Blizzard had (has?) the chance to both greatly expand the story elements and could have added to the overall lore and "thematics". Blizzard has likely burned that bridge with Warcraft, but right up until I'm Starcraft 2 holding [all three] my box[es] for it Ghost will strike me as a missed opportunity.
M.I.S.T. (My Incredible Super Team) and whatever it was renamed to is my other choice, if time travel is allowed . I choose to believe the game would have Jagged Alliance with creatable super heroes well before Freedom Force was even a glimmer in someone's eyes. Hell, can I resurrect SirTech for Jagged Alliance 3 or Camelot / Sega for Shining Force 4?

That was all over the internet years ago and from everything I've read it was pretty terrible, which is believable since the reskinned Wu Tang game they turned it into was also terrible.

Yeah bleem would run it. It looked cool though.
Very well, I shall take you to heaven, before I take you to hell.

Duke Nukem Forever shall forever be the holy grail of canceled games of our generation.
This cosmic dance bursting decadence and withheld permissions twists all our arms collectively, but if sweetness can win- and it can, then I'll still be here tomorrow to high five you yesterday, my friends. Peace Trueachievements Profile | Gamertag: EyeRChris
Duke Nukem Forever shall forever be the holy grail of canceled games of our generation.
The thing about DNF, though, is that all the hubbub is less about the game itself than the circumstances surrounding its development and indefinite postponing/cancellation. As nifty as it would be to get a new Duke Nukem game, I can think of a dozen cancelled games that people would be more excited about as games.
Yeah, we're getting the new Team Ninja Metroid, but I'd kill for a proper 2D sprite-based Metroid on the DS.
I hear that. When the hell are nintendo going to continue from where Metroid Fusion left off? They set up a brilliant new plot and then.... aparently it's too hard so we have to keep trying to slot new metroid games in the middle of all the previous ones.
Another B.C vote here. I can't believe Molyneux hasn't picked that up again, it sounded so promising and I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to do right now. Then again, fella is probably too busy kidnapping young boys.
Hell yes! I thought I was the only one who remembered that game. I was drooling over it in magazines for so long only to have it never released.
If only to see the story, because frankly the game wouldn't have been that good on the N64. Not that Battlecry did a much better job later, but... at least on the Japan side they seem to make nice Macross games.
Then again, back then I did drool forever for that game (and I got my N64 basically for that game... such a huge Robotech fan.)

More capsuleers should look as cool as I do.

That game looked sick.
Also, that cel-shaded MMO for Xbox. True Fantasy Live Online, or something like that.
Bolded for seriousness.

That's been cancelled?
You beta'd that too? It was ok, I thought, kind of lost interest as it got near end of beta. I assume it never got finished?
Also, Duke Nukem Forever, lol.

But really, I just wish 3DO hadn't gone under. I'd kill a few babies for a 3DO release of Heroes of Might and Magic 6.
Really.
Your babies.
Yeah he's with Obsidian working on Fallout: Vegas
Yeah, we're getting the new Team Ninja Metroid, but I'd kill for a proper 2D sprite-based Metroid on the DS.
It was out for a few years. I trialed it a few times. Was generally a pretty good game but died overall to extremely small playerbase.
As for uncancelled? Ultima Online 2... SO much excitement for that when I played UO/AC.
That came out!
