Six Awesome Games That Were Never Released

"Feeling a bit too happy today? I'm not – looking over this list of some high profile games that were cut off mid development makes me sad. Be it Ensemble Studios Halo MMO or Blizzards Starcraft Ghost, no one likes to see a potentially awesome game cut off during development, never to see the light of day again.

So grab some tissues, hit the jump, and shed manly (or womanly) tears with me as we look at some of these games that never quite made it."

I would love a new Road Rash. I remember sitting around the Genesis as a kid playing with my friends.

the video seemed a lot like the Burnout Paradise Bikes. Just with weapons, man that would be so awesome.

To me, the first game was the best, the second one was good, but it didn't have that same favour, but now, BF3, that looks good, and BF3 (lol, I mean battlefront 3, then battlefield 3)

Indeed. I would kill for an Xbox 360/PS3 battlefront. Get on it, Lucas!

halo MMO I would have tried. I am not an MMO guy but I would have checked it out. I've read the books and the Halo canon is exceptional.

Not sure it would have worked too well with thousands of Spartans running around. If everyone was an ODST, it might have worked out. Either way, I doubt we'll ever see it happen.

Star Wars MMO does it where not everyone is a Jedi. You could start as a regular Marine and work your way up to ODST or even Spartan if you are good enough/put time in. Could also have a race of Covenant. The options are endless.

The problem is everyone WANTS to be a Jedi/Spartan. Actually, I think SW has a bit more disparity there since they have so many other cool character archetypes like Han Solo for spacers and Boba Fett for bounty hunters.
Besides the few regular marines in ODST and Halo Wars, the Spartans tend to steal the show everywhere else (even in HW).

That's not to say it's impossible, but it'd be better if they could showcase more variety.

Battlefront! Why do you mock me! :(

The game looked pretty far in development (compared to Road Rash and the Flash game), but too bad it won't see the light of day.

I think anyone who loved the real Fallouts would love to see a proper Fallout 3. I like Bethesda, but their FO3 is totally different in a lot of important ways from what a veteran would expect. I could definitely go for the original FO3. Or, perhaps the New Vegas Obsidian are developing.

The premise of B.C. interests me but I'd want a different setting because I frankly hate the "caveman" thing.

A new Battlefront would've been sick, but Road Rash is bringing back all sorts of memories of the Genesis.

Good times...

9 - B.C.
I can't tell you how disappointed I was when Lionhead Studios announced that they had canceled B.C. all those years ago.... Ever since then they only focused on Fable. The original Fable was being worked on at the same time as B.C. was in development and ultimately only one survived, which is a shame, because Fable isn't all its cracked up to be anymore.

That's why I hate Peter Molonyeux and Lionhead partially now for announcing Fable 3 recently and continuing that series instead of creating something "NEW" and fresh like B.C. Maybe I'm biased, because I have a soft spot for anything dinosaur-related, but just looking at the potential of that product could have proved to be extremely enjoyable and successful.
