Just wanted to start a thread of a list of games that were supposed to come out, or should have come out but never did. One of the biggest disappointments for me was when FreeSpace 3 was cancelled...a great game and story line that had some great possabilities and it never got finished :(
Simsville. I was kinda mad that it never came out. That game actually looked fun.
I wanted that game to come out too. But it looks like Duke Nukem Forever isn't coming out for a long long time if ever! I've never like DN so it doesn't hurt me at all;)Quote:

I am still waiting for Fallout III, Tactics just didn't do it for me.
Also Jagged Alliance 3. Sir-Tech sold the rights to another company who have started development on the game with all the original software people :) But it will probably never happen.
How about Team Fortress 2.... that game has gone to shiat. Lol in PCGamer's most regretted statements in their 2002 issue: "Team Fortress 2 looks to be the most promising game of 2000." HAHAHAHAHAHA that is so damn funny I passed a kindey stone.
The reason a Fallout III hasn't been made is a mystery. How can you make something so great and then stop altogether?
Team Fortress 2, i've given up on that :(
I was kinda looking forward to TORN as well, but then that got canned
Also, in a blast from the past, i think Amen sounded like a great idea
Anybody remember Duke Nukem Forever? That game make me waiting forever, sheesh....
hmmm, maybe they chose that title on purpose to screw with us.Quote:

The game never existed!
The screenshots were all drawn!
Team Fortress II looks sweet! I can't wait!
It is supposed to be released in October, I think.
I find your lack of faith.. disturbing.Quote:

Freespace 3 never got finished!?!? Say it aint so charlie!! nooooooo.
Anyway another space title that got 70% done but never released is Babylon5 by Sierra. I even got the game trailer and it looked right up there with Freespace 2 at the time. Man what a huge letdown. I'm still crossing my fingers that one of the 2 will be gracing our PC screens in 2003/04.
Yes for Freespace 3 the story line had already been written but the company lost alot of its programmer and decided to not put the game out, and won't give the rights to anyone else to release the game =/
Remember back when UT and Quake 3 were coming out.. wasnt there a game called Preditor or something like that.. was suppose to be the "next step in gaming" was suppose to blow everyones socks off and then .. gone.
No, I dont mean the Preditor/alien games that have came out.
I'm still waiting for Thornado.
I share your sentiment...Nobody CAN'T want an FS3 after FS2. But I thought the main reason preventing FS3 stems from when Volition was sold to THQ - they had to leave their FS rights with Interplay. Correct me if I'm wrong. :)Quote:

At least the source code was released, so hopefully some form of user-created redemption will come of that.
I personally was also looking forward to Star Control 4. I was really looking forward to that. I STILL play SC2 now and then when I'm on one of my ancient computers at my parent's house. But happy news on that front; they're re-releasing SC2 in a version that will run on modern computers!
Still, SC with 3D combat would have been sweet.

It wasnt Preditor.. the games name was Prey... I really was looking forward to that one.
Me too.. I was bummed when it was canned.. looked like a beautiful engine..Quote:

TFC 1.5 will just keep getting upgraded until they hit 2.0 and they lose the 'C' at the end.. Bingo! TF2.0!
Actually I heard something about it while ago, the reason there haven't been any news about it in a long time, is that they gave up on HL engine, and started to build new engine for it.Quote:

Novalogic was working on a game called "Necrocide (The Dead Must Die)" it was supposed to be an undead first-person shooter. Like Resident Evil I suppose. Got canceled though and they started to work on "Black Hawk Down."
Ultima Online 2 looked good, to bad they canned it.
About DN:F, on DN Manhatten Project they had a promo video for Forever and it looked awsome, the graphics were very dated though.
And on TF2 rumor has it that Valve/Sierra is realeasing new information about the games future in September.
It looks like there may be hope for these games after all, but only time will tell.
i thought so too, looked like they were trying to pull of graphics that were not possible at the timeQuote:

I too am pretty unhappy about this lack of a FreeSpace 3. (The other thing that bums me out is that my FS2 CD3 was dammaged when i got it, so i've never seen the end movie..) Anyway.. there are some things I'd like to see and I don't have any idea if they are in the making or not.. If Activision would make a Heavy Gear III that was to HG2 as HG2 was to HG1, than i'd be a happy DarkWolf. (I'd also be a DarkWolf looking for money for a Radeon 9700) I already wonder if M$ is making a Mechwarrior 5. (I think it's high time the Kodiak came back. So far I think it's only been in Mercenaries.)Another thing I'd probably run out and buy would be Rune 2, I don't know if they are making that or not. Gothic 2 had better be good becuase the ending of Gothic 1 sucked.. they might as well just have come out and said, "You win, find something better to do for a while and then get Gothic 2." The rest of Gothic was great though. If it had multi player (co-op) it would be over. We might still be playing it. There a few LAN parties there where everyone was just playing single player Gothic, it was really sick.:) Hmmm, well, I was about to say that there should be a quake 3, after thinking about quake 2 and how good that was, but then i remebered that they have one and i don't like it.
Tribes 2! Good stuff! I wish they'd put some sort of assalt rifle into the standard weapon set, it seems like there isn't much in between the slow fire splash damage weapons and the chain gun (which IMO should be a bit stronger.)Well that's my rant.
