GATT starts off our When Potentially Good IPs Get The Axe column with a game that was announced when the 360 was first released. Harker. Developed by the same Studios that brought us the GREAT Buffy the Vampire Slayer game for the original XBOX, Harker was supposed to be based off of the Dracula tale.
Jerry from BagoGames says, "Harker would most likely have been one of the better vampire games out there, sadly it got sidelined for another staple franchise."
Powerball mania has swept the nation, and people have been day dreaming about what they would do with so much money. Everyone jumped on the hype train and day dreamed about what games they would bring back from vaporware Hell.
Shadow Of The Eternals is still coming. They just wanted to expand the universe.

Most likely they will make a Movie or a TV series along side the game.
Hell winning the last PowerBall you can buy a company or create your on company just for it. Also back up kickstarter and get some profit out of it.
Nathan Braudrick of Bagogames: Sometimes great video game ideas just don’t get to see the light of day. For whatever reason, certain games that have fantastic potential become the victim of the axe and consumers like you and I never get to try them out. Every console generation sees its share of cancelled games and our current generation is no exception. There’s not enough time to discuss every single one of them but here is a quick rundown of some current generation games that never made it to retail that I feel could have been promising.
A Dirty Harry game would only have worked with the total blessing and cooperation of one Clint Eastwood. Had it gotten that, then by gawd that would have been one hell of a retro movie tie in...
As it is, I guess L.A Noire is as close as we're going to get. Time and genre wise that is.
Guillermo del Toro's Sundown is the one that bothers me the most. The man is a visual genius and I think a video game with him on board would be fantastic! At least we have inSane to look forward to.
The people who worked on Batman Begins should have worked on the Dark Knight cause Batman Begins was a solid movie tie in game.
A video game that interested me back in 2005 called "Snow".It was being made by Take 2 and the concept was working your way up as a drug kingpin from a small time dealer.Apparently you could bribe cops,change the amount of drugs you shipped,make deals etc etc.
The only game with a similar concept to it is Grand Theft Auto:Chinatown Wars
A Dirty Harry game wouldve been awesome! Thats really too bad. Also, Escape from NY was scrapped too. Extremely bummed about that one. Namco was going to do it. Now, why the hell did they scrap my game?
I was looking forward to this title for YEARS before I found out what happened to it. Decided to write this article and start a column for IPs that were canned before their time.
I was ultra hyped for it as well. Too bad it got canned.
whatever happened to the Highlander game? it seemed to be nearly done.
Hot Damn!
This game looks better than half the crap this gen has to offer!! Looks like it had some mint gameplay, akin to that of God Of War. Just a major overhaul of the graphics, and it woulda bin freaking sweet!
This game was supposed to be the spiritual successor to the Buffy Games, but with way more gore and way better graphics. I say we start a petition to get development going again!
