An investigative look into what happened to Disney's open world Pirates of the Caribbean game.
Jerry from BagoGames says, "Disney has been striking out when it comes to video game development. Armada Of the Damned is yet another sad tale of an amazing game we will never play."
Developing a game is an intricate process. Thousands of lines of code have to be written with thousands of graphical assets. The publishers have to spend thousands of dollars on marketing. Speaking on the behalf of the developers, it hurts us beyond measure when we don't get to witness the fruit of our labour.
Here are The Gaming Report's top 5 games that did not see the light of day.
The Turok franchise has a storied history. Long before Halo, it was one of the first console-centric FPS games to really make a name for itself. Its core conceit of hunting down dinosaurs is novel even today, and it was right there alongside Goldeneye making the case for FPS with a gamepad. Given all that, it is somewhat poetic that the Turok remake from 2008 owes so much to that Xbox launch title of note.
This would of been good, this is what Ubisoft should of done with all the Pirate stuff in AC4, instead of Black Flags fill in the gap Armada of the Damned left. Least then they wouldn't be restricted with the Assassins Creed story.
I remember seeing this game at E3 and getting so excited. I was completely bummed when it got canned.
edit: btw... great read! Hats off to Tyler, I hope you put forward more pieces like this.
It's EXTREMELY rare to read well-written articles on this site. Job well done, sir!
I was anticipating this title forever, devastated when Disney cancelled it.
I thought the devs started a kick starter a while ago
