Blog:Stephen's Top 10 Cancelled Video Games

Yo guys. My name is Stephen (Stephenfisher2001), and here's I'm going to show you some video games that never made it to the release date. Most of the reasons why many of these games were canceled are due to several reasons. Here are the "Stephen's Top 10 Cancelled Video Games".

NOTE, that Half-Life 3 doesn't count at all, because it might've not been confirmed, nor do to Half-Life 2: Episode 3.

Number #10
Thrill Kill

Thrill Kill is a supposed fighting video game that was originally going to be released in October 1998, however, In August 1998, the North American operations of Virgin Interactive were acquired by Electronic Arts as part of their purchase of Westwood Studios, which led to EA gaining the publishing rights to Thrill Kill. After evaluating the game, EA's executive board deemed its tone too violent for publication. How rich is that?

Number #9
Sadness

Sadness is a supposed survival horror video game in development by Nibris for the Wii console and was one of the earliest titles announced for the system. While the game initially drew positive attention for its unique gameplay concepts, such as black-and-white graphics and emphasis on psychological horror over violence, Sadness became notorious when no evidence of a playable build was ever publicly released during the four years it spent in development. There was only a trailer of the game, sadly, there was no gameplay of the game itself.

Number #8

B.C. is a supposed action-adventure video game in development by Intrepid Computer Entertainment, a satellite of Lionhead Studios, which was to be published by Microsoft Game Studios for the Xbox. B.C. was going to take place during a prehistoric time period on a single continent which contained five levels. The player controls a tribe who has to evolve and migrate to become the best species in the game. Tribe members can be of different classes and each can level up different ways to evolve.

It was cancelled in 2004 for unknown reasons but Peter Molyneux revealed in an interview with IGN that the cancellation could have been due to the fact the fable was in further development than B.C. In 2015, game preservation group PtoPOnline revealed gameplay footage of B.C. from throughout the game's development.

Number #7
Star Wars 1313

Star Wars 1313 is a action-adventure video game that was under development by LucasArts.[4] The game would take a more mature, gritty direction compared to past Star Wars video games and, like 2002's Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, would emphasize fast-paced gadget and weapon-based combat using tools exclusive to bounty hunters rather than Force- and lightsaber-based combat. However, on April 3, 2013, it was announced that The Walt Disney Company had ceased internal development of all LucasArts projects, including Star Wars 1313. A LucasArts representative indicated that the game may be revived through a licensing deal with an outside studio, but until then Star Wars 1313 remains on hold.

Number #6

Gotham by Gaslight is a supposed superhero video game that the developers released some concept illustration which revealed the game had a steampunk feel to it while being set in Victorian England and also test footage was released which revealed the misty Gothic settings and the character model for Batman. Reception to the leaked footage and concept illustration was positive, with viewers praising the setting, the cape physics and the different approach the developers were trying to achieve. After THQ failed to secure the rights to the property, the game was canceled.

Number #5
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic III

I loved the original Knights of the Old Republic series so much. But I wonder if the third Knights of the Old Republic game would be here. However, it never came to date. Okay, let's get down to this.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic III is a supposed follow-up to the second game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords. Upon its cancellation, the Proteus project's team and elements of its designs were applied to developing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic III. According to designer John Stafford, the team "wrote a story, designed most of the environments/worlds, and many of the quests, characters, and items." The game was canceled as part of cuts initiated in 2004 aimed at positioning LucasArts for future success. t was later changed to Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) was released for the Microsoft Windows platform on December 20, 2011 in North America and Europe, and released in Australia on March 1, 2012. The game was developed by BioWare, who developed the first Knights of the Old Republic game.

Number #4
The Godfather III

There was going to be the third game of The Godfather game series, meant to be the final game of the video game franchise. But after the poor critical and commercial reception of the game, EA announced they had abandoned plans to adapt the third film.

Number #3
Whore of the Orient

Whore of the Orient is a supposed action-adventure video game for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game was in development at KMM Interactive Entertainment, a subsidiary of Kennedy Miller Mitchell that comprised employees from defunct development houses Team Bondi, (the company released L.A. Noire in 2011) and Krome Studios.

The game would've taken place in 1936, the game would have centered around the corrupt city of Shanghai in the hands of Western powers, filled with mob crime and political troubles. The Kuomintang ruthlessly puts down labor movements in an effort to suppress communism, whilst the International Police Force attempt to maintain peace.

The game was originally going to be as a targeting 2015 release for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and the PC, however, In June 2016, an interview with Whore of the Orient producer Derek Proud revealed that the game was effectively cancelled. Proud revealed that the team fought to "the bitter end", but they were unable to save the game and ultimately it was "wrapped up" by parent company KMM. Having not had a status update since 2013.

Number #2
Lego 007

Yes, it is true. After the success of Lego Star Wars: The Video Game, Travelers Tales wanted to explore more franchises in Lego form. A test animation of a Lego James Bond was pitched to Lego from Travelers Tales around 2005. However, it was canceled after the release of Casino Royale, and LEGO thought the Bond franchise was "too dark and gritty for a kids game". Possibly, LEGO didn't have any 007 sets at the time.

Number #1
Conker's Other Bad Day



Conker's Other Bad Day is a supposed sequel to the greatest M-rated Rareware game, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and it was under development for the Nintendo GameCube. Most of the known information regarding the game comes from the series creator, Chris Seavor. Due to the Microsoft acquisition, Conker's Other Bad Day was scrapped, and Conker's Bad Fur Day instead was ported as an Xbox remake, Conker: Live & Reloaded. Conker's Other Bad Day did not go far in development, and most of the work went into its concepts and drawings.

It's a shame that the Conker franchise, didn't get any bigger, but if it wasn't canceled, so, the franchise would've possibly been the same thing as Banjo Kazzoie.
