Publisher says film director del Toro’s horror trilogy is an “epic project”.
Upcoming trilogy InSane will take between eight and ten years to develop, THQ has confirmed.
The horror game series is being overseen by Hellboy and Pan’s Labyrinth film director Guillermo del Toro. It was originally revealed at the 2010 Spike Video Game Awards.
THQ’s core games VP Danny Bilson’s latest comments suggest that the complete trilogy won’t be ready until 2018 at the earliest.
In this article, we try to list eight cancelled games that looked the most promising. Before we start, if you haven’t already, be sure to read this list over cancelled games, too.
Mega Man Legends 3 is the one cancelled game that sucked the most for me. Blaming it on the fans was a real jerkish move, too.

Promising? Maybe they sounded good, but, for instance, Redwood Falls and Shadow Realms never saw the light of day because they weren't anything exceptional. The tragic ones are the ones like Star Wars 1313, which was cancelled because of Disney's buyout of Star Wars, or Insane, which was cancelled because THQ was going out of business. I can only guess that Agent, Eight Days, and Starcraft Ghosts never made it anywhere because they didn't live up to expectations. Maybe they weren't any good, maybe they were too ambitious, maybe the tech at the time couldn't support them . . . we simply don't know.
I was once excited for the Pirates of the Caribbean game, Armada of the Damned, but chances are it was cancelled because it wasn't living up to expectations, so there's really no point in being letdown by it.
"The 19th annual D.I.C.E. summit is a little more than a month out. For those who do not know, D.I.C.E. stands for Design, Innovate, Communicate, Entertain. This annual get together of the technical industry’s elite is host to the Entertainment Software Association’s Interactive Achievement Awards. This year, Hideo Kojima will become the 21st inductee to the A.I.A.S. hall of fame, and deservingly so. The award will be presented to Kojima on February 18, 2016 by none other than iconic director, producer, and writer Guillermo del Toro."-- PlayStation Enthusiast
8CN: Games get canceled all the time, but rarely do we ever hear very much about them. Usually, they're canned well before the public is aware of their existence, with the studios quietly pushing the project under the rug (or recycling the work into new games entirely). These games however, failed pretty spectacularly.
Prey 2 sure looked interesting. The first one gave me motion sickness with the sudden inversions.
The first one's concept sounds amazing! I hope they, or someone gets back to it. The outlook should be different now with the new gen consoles...
it better be, I mean, 2013, but then again thats when Final Fantasy Versus XIII probably comes out
anyone even remotely excited for this game? I am not. Pan's Labyrinth...was okay...nothing ground breaking...
I wouldn't be surprised if the game doesn't even show its face for another 5 years.....just like his hobbit movie...
2018? Not to be pessimistic but who cares then? I mean it's nice to know but if its still such along way off I'll focus my brain elsewhere.
i guess it will look epic with great visual like he said, because it will be using the next gen tech.
i think insine is the first next gen game that got announced, so 2013 will be the date next gen start, mabe by the en of 2012 we will have the ps4.
not bad..
So it'll be on PS4 and the next Xbox then.
Outta sight outta mind.
