Five cancelled games that deserve another chance on PS4 and Xbox One

GameZone writes, "When looking forward, it’s hard to not also look back and imagine what some games would be like if they came out today. What about the ones that never came out at all? While the chances of any of the following games going back into development are slim-to-none, it’s exciting to consider how much better or more practical they would be today."

As soon as I read the title the first game that came to my mind was Starcraft: Ghosts.

[crxss]

while i agree that some canceled games deserve to get released on the next gen, some canceled games should stay canceled. for example: beyond: two souls.

[robtion]

Beyond two souls is great,have you actually played it?

I would love to see a beyond good and evil 2 (not cancelled strictly speaking but it has been in limbo for a long time).

[crxss]

@robtion haha of course i've beaten it. multiple times. it's annoying when people judge games they haven't even played.

[sobekflakmonkey]

I thought Eight Days, as well as the getaway, not to mention Heavenly Sword 2 as well as red wood falls, all those games could have been great, sad they were cancelled.

[DARK WITNESS]

The Outsider, thats the game I am still waiting for...

and Wardevil.. although I don't think either will see the light of day.

I do think they were too big for last gen, but this gen just starting could handle them I think.

[Roccetarius]

For all we know, Wardevil could've been another game with great ideas, but poor execution.

Anyways, maybe someone will ressurect it later.

Where is Fear Effect :(

[zeal0us]

Jade Empire 2 where art thou?

[Tigerfire]

Not really cancelled, but Lost Odyssey 2!

[Roccetarius]

The game may not be cancelled, but it doesn't exist either. Microsoft didn't see any profit in the IP, so i doubt they would fund another.

Personally it was one of the best JRPG's i've played.

[Rzep]

You want Ghost then go read the book, simple.

"An AI partner hadn’t really been done right by that point"

lol sure, a little game from 2004 called Half-Life 2 says hi.

[Dasteru]

What one would that be? It has been a few years since i last played HL2 so my memory could just be bad but i do not remember any AI partners in it and i beat the game atleast half a dozen times.

The only AI i remember was Dog and it was never really a partner.

[FlameHawk]

Eight Days and Getaway 3.

[OverPaperSkies]

The Getaway. For the love of god Sony. Black Monday was brilliant.

[steve30x]

WHat I think should happen with cancelled games is they should get put out to the public instead of wasting all the hard work that was put into developing them.

[FantasyStar]

Eye-dentify.
Coded Arms: Assault
The Getaway

[HexxedAvenger]

Only one i care about from this list is Starcraft: Ghost

[Stoppokingme]

Demonik anyone?

[BlakHavoc]

Uh, Heavenly sword 2 would have been better than any of those games.

[I_AM_ CANADIAN_1989]

Lair remake for ps4 so I can play it. Or a lair 2. Dragon lord games are an awesome concept and rare. With 60fps 1080p lair could be an epic franchise.

[LAWSON72]

60 fps and 1080p would not make Lair any better let alone any other crappy game

[The Meerkat]

Babylon 5. With TV show matching graphics.

Imagine a Vorlon ship on the PS4.

[WeAreLegion]

Um...

Redwood Falls, anyone?

[MadLad]

I would have loved to see following releases in what was supposed to have been the Call of Cthulhu trilogy.
Also, Redwood Falls seems it would have been right up my alley. That's a shame.

[InMyOpinion]

Bring back Legacy of Kain. And Shenmue 3 when you're at it :p

[Vanfernal]

Agreed and agreed. They should reboot Kain (that series became too convoluted with the time travel to just make a sequel). And Shenmue should get and HD remake of the first 2 episodes and an actual sequel. That would be epic.

[GhostTurtle]

Totally agree. I think that's the only way a 3rd could be properly made. HD Remakes followed by a sequel. If Sony gets their way we might be able to see this happen one day!.

[InMyOpinion]

I'd love a HD remake of the very first Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen.

[Roccetarius]

Definitely Starcraft: Ghost for me.

[bangoskank]

Dead Phoenix, Gamecube dev cancelled back in 2003, would translate nicely to current gen. Will never happen though.

[MisfitsInc]

the first game i thought of from last Gen was Heavenly Sword 2
