Those unfinished games you want given a 2nd chance?

Postby Who Really Cares? » Wed Nov 14, 2012 2:59 pm

Ok first up we can leave Shenmue out of this and it has to be either the first in an announced series or canned so many games in with an unfinished story.

Too Human

Supposed to be a trilogy [even says it on the damn box] and nearly 10 years in development on the PS2, Gamecube and then XBox 360 it was a science-fictional futuristic retelling of Norse mythology that portrays the Æsir, the Norse Gods, as cybernetics-enhanced humans, tasked with protecting mankind from the onslaught of Loki's army of machines.

Sadly mixed reviews hurt it, Pre order sales after the demo went over 1M but after reviews nearly half were canceled and the game ended up selling around 750k and then of course SK tried to sue Epic only to be sued in return for using the Unreal engine and trying to pass it off as their own.
Once you level up a bit its damn good fun and also has 2 player co-op but sadly its 4 player co-op was canned near release.

I would love someone to come in and save the project and finished it but sadly i would say we have 0 chance :sad:

Now despite the bugs this game was awesome and again was supposed to be a trilogy but sadly it didn't sell as well as hoped and Majesco Entertainment found them selves in money troubles and changed their plans[currently having success with the Zumba games. Again i would love for someone to finish this but in its case they would need to remake 1 and give it a HD life and sort out the bugs.
Its creator is now one of the heads at Chair Entertainment [Undertow, Shadow Complex and Infinity Blade] so who knows maybe Epic could fund them and get them the rights to the series as Mustard still wants to finish the story.

Omikron 2 (The Nomad Soul 2).

It's always been "on the back burner" at Quantic Dream but they keep moving onto new projects without resuming this one. There's almost certainly no commercial value in a sequel, but we're allowed to be selfish in this topic, right? I'd love to revisit that world with improved controls/gameplay.

Sonic Xtreme is one of those games it's a good thing it never came out. It's development was not Sonic Team nd a western source and plagued with problems. Nothing worked really well. It was shelved because it was just bad like really bad plus when they had any progress DC was ready. Too bad that did no stop SEGA later when making Sonic games.

I had no idea you played Giftpia. I still want the game. Japan got it and we did not as usual.



Also add to the list on the topic.

Nah, never played it. Always wanted to, but if a game isn't in English I won't play it. No point. But yeah, I remember reading in a Gamecube magazine about it and that the planned PAL version was cancelled. Weren't happy.

And although Sonic X-Treme looked like shit, I always wanted to play it coz of it's mythical status.

I thought Tomba 1 and 2 on the PSone were awesome. Always wished they made a 3rd one.

The Saboteur.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lW31ddO6FM[/youtube]

The part where he says "I'm just getting started" is actually the very last shot in the game, hinting at a sequel. And it's an unfortunate line, since Pandemic Studios closed, so our dear old Irishman Sean obviously isn't just getting started.
Really a bummer, because this could have turned into a really great series, setting off across Europe to various cities, fighting Nazis through stealth and sabotage, etc etc. Playing it now, it obviously feels a step beneath other acrobatic, building-climbing open-world games like Assassin's Creed or Infamous. But it's still a great concept, it still has a really unique visual style, and the driving, shooting, and sneaking all still feel great. Expanding on what's already been done here could have worked out brilliantly, and if it would have continued, this would probably be right up next to Assassin's Creed as my two favorite sandbox series.
The Saboteur also has, for my money, one of Robin Atkin Downe's absolute best VA performances. Wouldn't have minded hearing more of it.
Bummer, bummer, bummer.

Oh yeah. Stealth's a very big factor in it. One of my favorite things to do in it is to don a disguise, sneak into a restricted area, secretly plant explosives on every bit of destroy-able equipment (one of the biggest side-activities in the game), then set them all off at once, creating an opening to either murder every Nazi in sight or sneak away in all the chaos.
Fun every time.
