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.
Zack Zwiezen writes, "It seems like just yesterday when Valve announced a trilogy of expansions for their super-popular PC game, 2004's Half-Life 2. But it’s actually been 15 years since Episode 3 was announced. And while Valve has since released a new Half-Life game, it wasn’t the one the developer announced back in 2006."
Still hurts a little that we didn’t get Ep3… and the “leaked” plans for it sounded like a great finale to the HL2 story arc.
It sounded fantastic and it's a shame we'll never get that
The ending of Half Life Alyx and what it did basically put the nail in the coffin for those plans.
Whatever they release next i hope it's not catered to consoles first. Back 4 Blood seems to be going that route by having automatic flashlights, but i have high hopes Valve won't water down any games as they are usually released on PC way earlier, like HL2 and HLA.
Man, I wish I played Half-Life 2 when it first came out so I could love it like the fans do.
I played it on Xbox 360 and I thought it was ok. I recognize it set a standard for a lot of things like physics in game and story-telling in an FPS, but I think by the time I played it the design had been improved upon by other games.
Agent Vaporware is a term used for software and games that are announced, but never released or cancelled. Essentially stuck in limbo due to development hell, lack of communication to the public, or pushed aside for other, more lucrative projects. Here are five long-awaited games we would like to see released this year.
I love the Vaporwave aesthetic, and I would definitely love to see a lot of these games come out soon. I think my favorite out of the list was Agent. Something about this style combined with the Cold War Spy setting really makes me want to try it out. Since it's from the makers of GTA, I'm sure it would be fun, and it would be interesting to see their take on an espionage game. Even if we don't get any of these games this year, I'm still pretty excited for some of the confirmed releases. One that I'm really looking forward to is Nova Nukers. It's a competitive multiplayer that has a lot of really interesting weapons that effect the game's environment, and a unique spherical stage design. I think it's going to be a really interesting game since it's doing a lot that I haven't seen in a multiplayer before.
I don't want Agent.....I just want a spy game...doesn't have to be agent but we don't really any any good ones to play.
* Create an agent....pick an agency to start at....do espionage and missions against other agencies and stuff.
^ would sell 3,000,000+
The ending to Episode 2 was incredible....really want to play it. Not to even think about Half Life 3 itself!
I thought Episode 2 was a turd compared to all of the other iterations of Half Life. But that's just me. The rest of the Orange Box was full of top-notch win, though, that's for sure.
titles for the ps3 now as we are already nearly heading towards 09 now and this is the year the ps3 will have the competition to clean up with titles granturismo 5 killzone 2 streetfighter 4 residentevil5 heavy rain tekken 6 theres not much games coming out for xbox 360 later next year as the same goes for the wii by that time nintendo will have a machine ready by2010 as theres isnt much games coming for the wii and its going to be a game drought for that system and pretty much for xbox 360 about september 09 m$ would need to to buy every developer try and get most of ps3 exclusive games and they know the system like they are doing now and m$ would have the ps3 outselling in 09 and i think valve can jump on board the ps3 and make games im sure the ps3 gamers would welcome them with open arms
Valve has made me really angry with the episodes. Episodic games are supposed to come out frequently! That's the whole point! Waiting 2 years for a 5 hour game in completely unacceptable.
Yes, the games are incredible but they are way too short and too much of the same considering their development time.
