While the industry reveals a surplus of new game announcements spanning across the entirety of every year, many fans still desperately cling onto hope for a few yet-to-be announced titles. Now, there's been really no proof any of these titles will actually see the light of day, but with enough demand someone is certain to catch on, right? Let's take a look at 5 games we're keeping our fingers crossed for, but not necessarily holding our breath in anticipation.
You can understand some games getting canceled, but these awesome looking games still baffle us to this very day.
"Tommy saving the planet from an army of aliens after they abducted him and his entire bar, with the game ending on the promise that Tommy would be back, but that promise was never fulfilled"
The thing is with the original Prey 2 that Tommy wasn't even the main character, they replaced him with some generic looking space bounty hunter. It was a refreshing change to see an awesome Native American character with ancestral like powers fight aliens yet they ditched him. It was only after an outcry they showed much later in a new preview that Tommy was in the game as an NPC.
I'd have prefered a real sequel with Tommy as the main character, literally picking right up from the originals ending.
As for Eight Days...Sony really needs to pick this up
If Amy Hennig was still at ND, I'd have loved to see her tackle it after what she did with Uncharted.
One of the lead engine programmers for Prey 2 at Human Head was my programming instructor when i was taking game design. This game was in limbo at the time and we asked once and only once about this game, the misery in his eyes when he told us "this is the 1st and only time ill ask you to never ask me about that game" was something ill never forget😅 he used a couple assets through the curriculum for teaching purposes but nothing very tangible. Just a function here, a 3d prop there. Such a shame. Years later i saw him at a magic tournament, we caught up and he still thinks about that game and how it's "practically done" probably sitting on a drive somewhere
One that's not on the list is Killing Day, I remember seeing the trailer in 2005 and being impressed at the time. Being Ubisoft you know it would have been a AAAA game too, lol
2 Days to Vegas and The Getaway 3 are two other games that seemed promising but never came out.
Anticipation can turn into disappointment so often in the video game world. Canceled video game sequels can feel devastating, especially those that promise to expand upon the thrilling stories of their predecessor. Wealth of Geeks runs down some of the most disappointing cancelations that kept anticipated sequels in the dark.
The orginal prey 2 better be on this list.
And it is. Man if could've got this instead. Wonder why no one's step up to do this kinda game yet. I think there's one in development for pc, it's cyberpunk Era but it takes place in some huge apartment complex I think. Anyway I'm saying this not knocking the prey that came out cause I did enjoy that to but really wanted prey 2 (canceled)
Sometimes even promising titles never see the light of day. These are five of the most ambitious games that shouldn't have been canceled.
Kojima wouldn't have started his own studio if Silent Hills didn't get cancelled so even if it stung at first, I'm fine with it.
i remember being so excited for patriots for years, only to have them release that siege trash. i hate how multiplayer games, pvp in particular, have ruined so many potentially good games.
1.possible. would be amazing on PS5
2.no. none of the players are even there. they're over there working on and acting in death stranding
3.no. it's EA. asking for anything good from them is futile. they are the borg.
4.no. valve doesn't know how to count to 3.(see half life. see left 4 dead.see source engine)
5.possible. but unlikely...unless the character is now a young adult and there's bullies at college. which would be quite an interesting and funny premise with today's sororities, fraternities, pledges, campus protests, sjws and snowflakes.
1. I think you will see BloodBorne 2 before Demon Soul's 2.
2. I'm sure Konami is hard at work on Silent Hills: Pachinko as we speak.
3. I'm actually surprised we haven't already seen another Bad Company as it was very successful, but that's EA being EA.
4. I think it would take something extreme, a la Gabe Newell selling Valve, for another Half-life game to be made.
5. Bully 2 will happen, imo.
Only dead stranding at this point, which seems it could make it's way to the PS5.
