would love to hear if you have any weird obscure game projects you think I should talk about.
(keep in mind, in this series I've already covered This Is Vegas, LoK Dead Sun, Deep Down, Pirates of the Caribbean Armada of the Damned, Highlander, Harker, Dead Rush, Taxi Driver, Eight Days, Killing Day, Fear & Respect, Demonik, & a few more)
I think about demonic from Grandma's boy because that was supposed to be an actual game
And I'm not joking it really did get canceled it really was supposed to be a real game. Google demonic from Grandma boy Canceled
The cancelled Guielmoro del toro game INSANE
What about that Cancelled Peter Molyneux game B.C. It had something to with early human tribes and dinosaurs I believe. I think I saw on G4 back in the day.
One game I think a lot about is the cancelled video game of The Dark Knight. It probably would be fine/mediocre like the Batman Begins game, and it's cancellation was one of the things that paved the way for the arkham games, but I can't help but wonder how a video game of one of the biggest films of the early 21st century would be like.
XYZ was a game in the works by Steven Spielberg alongside ABC (which ended up being released as Boom Blox). It was supposed to focus around characters with supernatural abilities that were being chased by a CIA like entity. Of course it was so interesting that it had to be cancelled.
It seems like it would be a neat game like Goonies. I wish that came out
I absolutely love this series. Constantly makes me go “oh yeahhhh what ever happened to that one?”
Thank you! Mission accomplished 🫡
followed by the crushing disappointment of finding out 😂
I love this series too. Although i get sad to see so many potential interesting games to be cancelled. Makes me hope that some of them will be revived someday.
About that Apocalypse Now game, apparently the dude behind it fell down a rabbit hole and went full Quartering with Coppola deciding to withdraw the license from him to avoid another disaster.
That's too bad with the right people behind it could have been a masterpiece really.
Funny how coppalas experience with making the movie mirror the actual book, and it seems the game was gonna mirror coppalas experience.
@@DMVGREY Oh it gets worse. Apparently the director of the game tried to throw him under the bus saying in his blog that they were getting funding from a child trafficking ring. This is basically how to ruin your career: Attempt to throw Francis Ford Coppola under the bus.
@@fulcrum6760 If this is true then I'm glad it went under
What’s full Quartering mean?
Love how you included Rising! That’s a dream game to me still! MGS 2 being my favorite Metal Gear game of all time. Seeing Raiden in the fourth game, gosh I wish we could have played what happened in between!!
two cancelled games I think about from time to time are the cancelled batman gotham by gaslight game and the supposed open world prince of persia game releasing after forgotten sands.
I had no idea they were making a Gotham by Gaslight game… we really missed out. That could’ve been so awesome
I still hope they go back to the idea of a Gotham by gaslight game. Would be such a great vibe for a game
man i just really hope they do a live action interpretation of gotham by gaslight at the very least. it would make a great elseworld flick
@@ThePoliceDonutThere's gameplay of it still on yt I think
I never even knew a Gotham by gaslight was in development. Dammit that could’ve been amazing
I’ve always held on to this false hope that Scalebound would make a comeback but not as an exclusive 😭
the rumors swirl every so often..... would love to see it
Need it
MS owns the Scalebound IP, so it's be up to MS, not Platinum. Hideki Kamiya has repeatedly stated that he'd love to work on Scalebound with Xbox again
Xbox needs Scalebound more than ever. It would probably be their best modern exclusive game.
@@jimmythegamer2231the fact that Babylon falls was platinums first multiplayer game scalebound would have been terrible
Damn, I wish my memory was better when these videos come out. Can never think of a suggestion. You already covered Eight Days ages ago, which is kind of my favourite example of an unreleased game that lives in my head rent-free.
But DUDE, thanks for the reminder of proto-Splinter Cell Conviction. I remember actually really loving the concept when the initial footage came out, including Hobo Sam. It seemed like Ubisoft actually taking a step towards a modern Assassin's Creed-y type of game (pre-Watch Dogs, of course.) Just like you, still enjoyed the Conviction we got, but the ideas were really interesting!
Someone give me a social stealth game in a modern city already, and let me assassinate baddies, please.
There was this game called Wild shown off at e3 around the 2010s basically you played as this shaman/ druid who could command all kinds of animals and the whole game had a strong celtic mythology influence. Its the kind of game ive always wanted but sadly never came out. So much potential and I cant forget it
Yeah, the Beyond Good & Evil chap was on it with a small studio and then dropped them like a leaking back of baby poo when Ubi finally greenlit BG&E2 and the studio never recovered from that betryal.
I remember that. I always wondered what happened to that.
I remember that one. It looked so cool 😢
I wish they release it for PS5.
Another “Project” game I still constantly think about is Project HAMMER. It was a gritty sci-fi brawler on the Wii made by Nintendo’s Wave Race team. By the way footage looked, it could have been the first M-rated game fully made by Nintendo. The vibes were cool and really stood out among the first batch of announced Wii games.
When it comes to adapting IPs, I sometimes feel like people should just make spiritual successors or inspired-by type of games instead. For example, I'd love to play a survival action-horror game set in the Vietnam War where you take on soldiers and mysteries and even moral/ethical decisions. And I don't mean just a walking sim or a zombie game either. Something along the lines of The Evil Within's psychological horror spliced with Manhunt's tone/atmosphere and the Vietnam War setting. So many themes, settings, etc. that's actually rarely touched on in the landscape of gaming. Or maybe I'm just spitballing. i dunno.
I like that. I feel like amnesia the bunker first really explored the idea of war being terrifying with monsters and such. Your idea is really good. You should honestly try writing an outline and pitch it to an indie studio
@@zanerinsane1574, I'm actually an indie artist. And my characters/worlds are still in development since I'm still primarily focused on working for clients right now. It won't be that obvious cuz this account is just my gaming channel as a hobby whenever I find extra time. I appreciate the positive feedback! Honestly wasn't expecting that at all. Thank you!!!
That would be an awesome video game to play 👍
You should cover all those weird cancelled Wii games like Project H.A.M.M.E.R or Sadness. Love the content keep it up!
Sadness led to Bloober Team. Also, from looking into it, seems like there was little work done there. Oddly enough though, seems like it could've been Bloober's best story.
Little Devil Inside hasn’t been officially cancelled yet. But it may end up on Cancelled Games part 5 at this rate…
what happened?
Worlds Adrift cancelation really broke me. Haunted by screen shots of me, my crew and our air ship we spent countless hours crafting and adventuring on. So many similarities to the Sea of Thieves formula, I wonder if it was just ahead of its time.
I love that you talked about highlander game in another video, I actually learned a lot about that game on that video... the only other 2 i can think of are Starcraft Ghost (which I think you already mentioned), and Robotech battlecry (for N64) I think the one that eventually got released to PS2/Xbox/GCN was a totally different game...
hey jake love the videos!
going off of Taxi Driver in the second episode, i'd love to hear you talk about the Dirty Harry game that was canned. It looked very interesting and was being developed for basically every single console at the time, even the DS.
The other one i've been thinking about is Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings. It was originally being developed for the 360/PS3 but was downgraded to PS2/Wii/DS, and im curious how it wouldve turned out if we actually got that current gen (at the time) version. Cuz who knows when Machine Games' take on the character will come out
you're in luck - I talked about Dirty Harry in this series. A really interesting one that went nowhere fast
So many games we never got because they either vanished or canceled. So so sad
The fire emblem shin megami tensei game. I always wonder what could have been made. It was announced during the golden era of the series, smt 4 was a hit and fire emblem awakening brought it to the mainstream.
are you talking about Tokyo Mirage Sessions Fe?
I still think Splinter Cell Conviction is underrated though I get that it’s not a true to form Solinter cell which I also prefer.
That original Conviction footage reminds me of the original Bioshock infinite footage we got in like 2010. Although I love infinite, that og clip looked MUCH creepier and it looked really promising. A lot of it looked the same but the overall tone seemed to lean more into horror.
I remember really scouring magazines and the internet for Microsoft's cancelled True Fantasy Live Online; would love to hear more on that. Also, the original Middle Earth Online had tons of promise, and a morality system (which necessarily wasn't much of a thing back then, outside Fable). Thoughts?
One game I saw as kid that I always thought about that sparked my interest in games was this one called Jet Froce Gemini. I saw it on a cover of a magazine and I was so intrigued by it…ima go watch a play through on TH-cam to see what it’s all about
One of my favorite games ever, should be on a list "Top 10 Games that Should've Had a Sequel/Remake/Reboot" or something
I remember getting incredibly excited for Doshin the Giant when I saw it in a magazine as a kid. I was looking forward to playing it for months, then I found out it wasn't being released in my country anymore. Looking back on it it doesn't seem like the game was anything special but as a kid I didn't know any better. 😂
I always think about the sequel to a super obscure Bungie game called Oni. I loved the first one and always wanted a sequel. Found out one was planned but eventually scrapped. Always felt that Mirror’s Edge was like a spiritual successor.
Castlevania for Sega Dreamcast and Robotech for N64 comes to mind from time to time.
I've got one for you: The Lord of the Rings: The White Council. It was supposedly going to be an RPG in the Dragon Age vein, but obviously exploring Middle Earth. I was super pumped, but then it never saw the light of day. Another cancelled game that hurt at the time was True Fantasy Live Online for the original Xbox. Online games were still new on console, and this was going to be a ground-up MMORPG that was actually funded by Microsoft and looked awesome. Can't remember what happened to it
The only game i remembered is PT
And I like to know about more cancelled games because it's pretty hard to find most of the times
Batman: Gotham By Gaslight. In my head, it looks like Arkham Asylum meets AC Syndicate.
Does anybody else remember Rainbow Six Patriot? I remember it being on the cover of GameInformer with a whole deep dive. Coming off the heels of Vegas 2 it looked like a really interesting direction for the series.
Awesome timing man. I'm just playing through Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance now and I'm having the time of my life with this batshit insane game. I for one am glad that things turned as they did and that the game ended up in Platinum Games' hands. There's nothing like this out there to this day.
Revengeance is the Baki of the gaming world and that is why we love it. sadly, American industries are overran with greed so we very Rarely get new ideas, especially ones like that. and especially in todays "gaming climate"
@@KreepKarnage I'm afraid I don't understand who or what a Baki is but I wholeheartadly agree with your assassent of the modern day gaming climate. Which ironically is also the reason why I'm playing MGR for the first time this year. All the modern gaming trends are throwing me off that much, that I can actually clean up my backlog little by little. And man, do they not make 'em like the PS3/360 era games anymore.:(
@@Ivotas its insane that you said that because thats my Exact reasons for playing revengeance 5 months ago. and i Literally just put the controller down to finish up Asura's Wrath on the ps3 emulator. the pure creativity these people Used to have. it hurts to see it gone
@@KreepKarnage Man Asura's Wrath, that's some fine high quality batshit insane nonesense right there. Yet, people gave it some tough feedback because it did a little bit lightly on the gameplay. Good job on missing the entire point of that title completely. Heck, one of the reasons why I'm discovering some classic gems for the fist time is because many reviews didn't do the game justice. Just last year I've played Castlevania Lords of Shadow, Arkham Origins and Dragons Dogma for the first time. All games being aboslutely fantastic with the latter making it into my top 10 games of all time. But reviews weren't just as kind to those games. I guess I have to thank modern AAA gaming for giving me a chance to right those wrongs.
Keeping it with Ubisoft games that got changed mid-development: the original Rayman Raving Rabbids. Back before it was a party game, it was supposed to be an action adventure platformer type of deal. I remember being so bummed out when I was 12 years old when I played the party game. All I saw up until then was a trailer that showed platforming gameplay with some party games, but not a full fledged party game. The crazy thing is, recently the platformer prototype sourcecode actually got leaked and now a small team of modders is trying to recover and fill in the blanks on what's missing.
If you want to play a game with a similar vibe as Apocalypse Now play Spec Ops: The Line if you haven’t already. Spec Ops: The Line is kinda similar, and it’s really good.
absolutely true
When I was a wee lad, there was this Playstation 1 series called NIGHTMARE CREATURES. I loved it. Very underrated gems. They were working on a sequel where you were this woman who could shape-shift into a birdlike creature. And you fought monsters. Looked very decent. Then abruptly scrapped. Still breaks my heart.
The cancelled Darth Maul game still upsets me
I still think about that Legacy of Kain Dead Sun game that got cancelled 😞 we need another entry into that series
that was a fun one to talk about. it was nice to see they had some interest in the series and were willing to spend some money - it just seemed like a bad direction
I was looking forward to an Xbox360 game called Possession, where you where king of the Zombie being able to control them as the lead Zombie. Was wait for that to come out for ages and eventually thought it must of got cancelled as didn't see it I'm any magazines for years.
I talked about that one in my first video on this - it was actually my inspiration for this series! it swirled around in my head for years but I couldn't remember where I saw it or what it was called
@JakeBaldino same happened to me, I know I had an Xbox360 magazine with it in and couldn't find it and couldn't remember the name, only many years last (this year infact) I moved and find the one. I must have missed your first one but as its got the gane I remember not releasing the most I'll go and watch it. Glad someone else remembered it as usually I assume I'm the only one who remembers.
Dude, yes! I totally forget about that one. The idea/mechanics behind that are incredible.
Star wars republic commandos sequel was canceled and left me wondering what the hell happen to sev😢
I still think about that Phantom Dust Remake trailer every now and then.
Almost 10 years ago now.
I remember a game called Campfire for PS2 & Xbox where you play as a serial killer hunting people lol
Aw, man. Apocalypse Now would have been awesome. We need a great Vietnam game. Having something kinda creepy and trippy set during the war with the right music might have been great!
Vietnam but we win
Nam is a little more difficult to portray with a good tone. It' was a dirty needless war.
Project Offset has stuck on me too. Everytime I read cancelled game, I immediately think of that "ahead of it's time" medieval looking game. Forgot what it was called and now glad I watched this video to refresh that old memory.
I still miss the original Conviction and Prey 2, rockstars Agent and Recoil: Retrograd
also, the original project from Hanger 13, after they finished Mafia 3, a Spy stealth game set in Berlin in the 60s, got changed to a music game and then died
The Metalocalypse game getting cancelled really pissed me off. We got Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Harvey Birdman games, but the one series that would have actually made sense as a video game they cancelled? bs. You were gonna be a klokateer for Dethklok and you'd have to dispatch ravenous fans in different ways to protect the band. I was so excited for it and it never came out
I know you don´t talk about this one, but I just can´t stop thinking about Prey 2. While I absolutely love and adore Prey from Arkane, the og one looked just so good.
If only we could live in a world where both Prey sequels existed; e.g. both Human Head's Prey 2 and Arcane's Prey
Yup, Human Head's Prey 2 is STILL the one I always seem to think about too.
Prey 2017 from Arkane was awesome though; felt like a love letter to System Shock games and the Bioshocks.
Prey 2 would’ve been badass. I still remember those announcement trailers. Big shame they cancelled it. But like you said, Arkane’s Prey was really good too.
One i always think back on which i saw in a magazine when i was younger was a game titled HERO. Supposedly an open world create your own super hero game if i remember correctly. Never heard anything about it again after seeing it in that magazine though.
apocalypse now, clockwork orange, full metal jacket, hellraiser, dawn of the dead and evil dead games was something we fantasized about in the 80s.
Level 1313, actually lots if star wars games. Battlefront 3, bounty hunter 2, unleashed 3. I can go on for a while.
This has nothing to do with cancelled games, but I’ve always wanted a detective game set in one location, like the Clue movies, or Death on the Nile. You would have to actually search for clues and deduce who the killer was. But it’s really hard to make a good detective story that doesn’t hold your hand too much and do all the hard work for you, but at the same time isn’t too hard where players would get frustrated and quite. Im not a dev, I’m sure it’s a really hard balance to get right, which is probably why we haven’t seen any. I hoped Death Loop was it, but it did all the deduction for you.
You need to play The Raven! It sounds exactly what you’re looking for. A mix of murder on the orient express and death on the nile.
If there's one game I feel like this about it has to be Urban Decay. I remember seeing an article on it in Next Generation magazine back in the 90s. Urban Decay was being developed by Andrew Spencer Studios and set to be published by Psygnosis. Its release date was originally planned around the summer of 1995. It was meant to use the same characteristic ellipsoid 3D graphics as its spiritual predecessor Ecstatica. The urban setting seemed so gritty and dreamlike it gave a certain ambience to it, I wish we did get the final product. Look it up
For the longest time, I held out hope for Eight Days on PS3. The trailer was amazing for the time, and the game never came out. It still lives rent-free in my head.
As far as an Apocalypse Now game, we did get Spec Ops The Line. Its a great, often forgotten game.
I was really mid on OG Conviction back in the day but thinking back on open levels with lots of options for infiltration and unorthodox stealth would actually be on brand and a fresh take for the series...man I miss classic Splinter Cell 😑
Blacklist isn't that old, and was fantastic with classic gameplay and updated elements from Conviction (which itself was fantastic, though different to the others, honestly there has never been a bad Splinter Cell)
@@cenciende9401 Blacklist, if viewed as a mainline Splinter Cell, is VERY bad. They should've made it all about Briggs (+ not having Ironside as FIscher would not have been a problem) and make it a spinoff.
I remember an article in game informer that indicated that assassins creed 1 was the prototype for splinter cell conviction, but they decided just to extrapolate it into a full game and not make conviction that game. This was before either game released. But they described the prototype and it sas asdassin's creed.
Yo Jake, I've got two cancelled titles for you, boyh with the connection to the movie world, the first one is "City of the Dead", a game set within George A. Romeros zombie Franchise, the second one is "Hannibal", based on the 2001 Movie adaptation of a Richard Harris Hannibal Lecter book, the second one got a trailer that I saw many years ago and was eagerly awaiting to no awail. Can't wait for the next episode of tour cancelled games series! 😊
Scalebound has lived rent free in my head for what feels like decades
One thing I wondered about the early Conviction build is if they were going to explore the whole "Megiddo" thing which is also brought up in the final game at different points. Basically, some kind of secret society was hinted at which could have been interesting.
I heard Rising was supposed to show how he saved Olga's child from the Patriots, with a blend of stealth and sword stuff (perhaps alternating between firearms and the sword? that's a cool concept), also it'd be a dream to see Raiden right after the crazy events of MGS2
Maaaan. I remember trying to back Apocalypse Now but it never took off. Iirc it had New Vegas people working on it. That would have been dope as hell
I remember the Apocalypse Now game kickstarter and it failing miserably. Was in a discussion on IGN years ago most of us just simply couldn't understand how it could ever be? a Narrative driven War film with very little action becoming a Video game? How do you make it work?
also how would the licensing work, seems like an expensive hurdle to acquire the rights to use the name 'Apocalypse Now' etc
The one I'm always thinking about is the Superman "Blue Steel" thing that had a CG trailer with like gameplay proof of concepts thrown in. A proper AAA Superman game is something I will never not want so finding out about that one stung.
We need a Zoolander game
JAKE IS ALWAYS THERE WITH GORthemovieGod and Adam Koralik to cheer me up
the original splinter cell conviction that was shown was a dream game for me that I'm still waiting for someone to make. they've made a million movies like that, but no game that really captures that kind of action and fighting without 100 quick time events. I think whatever conviction was, was completely repurposed and remade for watch dogs
There was an Xcom style game from Larian studios based on DOS 2 characters.
Another one was a sequel to the Witcher 1 for consoles that had a lot going on, but eventually got canceled. Had white wolf in the name irc.
i think about that daredevil game from the 2000s with tony hawk style grinding on rails. reminded me of the spider-man game on the first playstation
There was a vampire game called “Harker” that I was soo excited about as a kid. Unfortunately it never saw the light of day.
That initial vision of Metal Gear Rising was intriguing and while I am super happy what it became with Platinum mostly at the wheel, it would've been cool is something was done with what original take. Wish Konami would (OPTIMALLY (not another Silent Hill remaster fiasco)) remaster Revengence.
I think it was called Command and Conquer: Tiberium Wars ?? That first-person, real time strategy/shooter. I'm pretty sure it had a cover story in Game Informer long ago in a galaxy far, far away
The thing is, MGS story is so convoluted and tedious that MGR:R actually makes more sense
Hey Jake do you remember a game called “Darkest of Days”? You were a time traveler that fixes errors in history and you use weapons appropriate for that time period, however on occasion you have to use futuristic weapons. Like using a AR in the civil war.
About a year ago I spent a week on google trying to find a game that I don’t know the name of (didn’t find it) that I saw on tech tv, which was G4 before it got bought out.
I still remember the look and gameplay of it but I have no name to go off of, neither the main character nor the game itself.
I still remember Project Offset. That game had such huge potential, plus its graphics were beyond this world back in the day.
Maybe not “weird” but I still miss the potential of Rockstar’s Agent. Coulda been super sick
I'm still convinced there's an undeveloped game of Angel from the Buffyverse after hearing whispers of it from a convention in California back in the late 90's.
im glad this series exists because I always thought it was just me who remembered these random games I was excited for
Some of the original idea for Splinter Cell Conviction made it into the final game, but the game itself was more focused on action than stealth in the end. i personally thought Blacklist was better as it offered more choice, but i digress. a couple of canceled games i would have loved to see are the original Prey sequel, a Kojima take on Silent Hill in Silent Hills, what Soul Reaver 2 could have been on Dreamcast, what a complete version of The Phantom Pain may have looked like, the list goes on...
I dont know if you’ve talked about it but “Gun Loco” was a cool concept game that never got released. It was in game informer and they had trailers for it too!
I think about mercenaries 3 my family member was lead animator for the merc games and he showed me unshown footage and how they were using the frostbite engine and it was gonna be awesome then EA came and ruined everything
- The original version of D2, the sequel to D (PS1), that was meant for the Panasonic M2 (cancelled successor of the 3DO), with a trailer existing online that’s incredibly ominous and dripping in atmosphere! The D2 that was eventually released on the Sega Dreamcast is such a mess and worth checking out for how bonkers it is…but it’s nothing compared to the concept that they were going for in the original
- the various cancelled games that WB Montreal were working on after finishing Batman: Arkham Origins. They had a Robin (Damian Wayne) game, a Superman game, and even a 🅱️uicide Squad game in the works…which was why they inevitably hit a lot of bad luck and were forced to continuously cancel their projects and restart until they ended up plopping out Gotham Knights 😒
- Eidos Montreal’s pitch for a mainline Final Fantasy game that was to be worked on by the same team that made Deus Ex: Human Revolution. It was WILD…by 2011 standards, but we’ve seen quite a bit of stuff like it now that the technology can keep up.
- Speaking of FF… the Final Fantasy game that Grin (Bionic Commando, Wanted tie-in game, other stuff; went on to do Payday 1-3 under a new name after going under) was going to make. It had some GoW 2018 vibes to it a good 10 years earlier!
- FF Versus 13, which became FFXV. I suggest you look it up since it’s really something unique
- Team Bondi, of LA Noire fame, had a pretty well into development follow up called Whore of the Orient that was REALLY shaping up to be something unique
- Demon’s Souls 2, which became the legendary Bloodborne over the course of development. Looking into the cut content and peaks of “Project Beast”’s trailer, you can tell that YES, EVERYTHING IN THE GAME began with and branched off of the original Demon’s Souls, but eventually morphed into something new. Even the lore in the game has subtle callbacks to DeS2, with many of the NPCs still having Voice Lines and Text referencing how Yharnam (called something else during the DeS2 part of development) IS Boletaria…but warped.
I’ve been trying to find this game for like 25 years that I had on a demo disc. It was like zombies, rats and smash able wooden crates in this weird medieval town.
Not much ever came out about it, but do you remember Cry On? It was from the developers of Lost Odyssey and was supposed to be a sort of spiritual successor to it with a heavy emphasis on emotional storytelling
I remember that game, and that animated trailer they released for it looked so good; shame the game never came out
I remember the game Possession. It was supposed to be a PS3 launch game about zombies. I think they had planned if you died you turned into a zombie. And they were leaning heavily on the physics like if you shot off a leg of a zombie it would limp or crawl
Rockstar needs to pull their heads out of their asses and make Bully II. Stop remaking shit that doesn't need to be remade. Make some new stuff (not counting GTA VI, if that ever comes out).
Bully 2 and AGENT for sure. Hell, make another Table Tennis too
Splinter cell conviction. The ORIGINAL. THANK YOU!
Most underrated horror game of 2023: “BRAMBLE THE MOUNTAIN KING”
I too think about the Kojima MGS Rising game. I remember watching that tech demo and thinking the slicing tech was the coolest thing I had ever seen
On the apocalypse now game I'd just be running through the jungle with a surfboard running from Kilgore
I am really sad that I'll never get to experience PT unless I pay a ton amount of money for a PS4 with PT in it.
SUCKS
Personally it was cool but it’s nothing great.
Someone remade the demo on PC. It got taken down by Konami, but I'm sure you can still find it somewhere on the internet.
The fact that I could’ve been playing an Apocalypse Now game and I’m not is gonna make me sad for the rest of my life
The OG Splinter Cell Conviction that wasn’t made seemed like it could have saved the franchise. Too bad it wasn’t made. Hobo Sam would have been badass to play as. Reminds me of Rambo but more stealthy than commando. I remember when the trailer came out I was really excited to play it and then really confused with what did eventually end up being Conviction.
If anyone is intrigued by the idea of an Apocalypse Now video game, definitely check out Spec Ops: The Line. It’s a sort of retelling of Apocalypse Now/Heart of Darkness, but rather than criticizing war itself it’s more focused on criticizing war in video games specifically.
Personally I don’t know what an official Apocalypse Now game could add given we already have the movie and Spec Ops…
I will now and forever, bring up the cancelled Prey 2 from Bethesda everytime Jake makes one of these videos.
It's the closest I can imagine losing an infant feels like.
Fr fr
Y’know I remember when MGRR came out and thinking “this…. Isn’t what I thought this game was gonna look like when it was first announced.” But back then I didn’t really stay on top of the announcements and news. So… thanks for the validation I guess lol
UE3 Trailer was something called The Samaritan. I don't think it was ever meant to be a game, just a trailer to showcase the engine, but man it looked SO badass. I wanted it to be a game so bad lol😅
When I used to buy gaming magazines as a kid, there was one, MaxiConsolas (a Portuguese magazine), that had a section for news and rumors. In one edition of the magazine, there was a paragraph in the corner of the page alongside a 007 Bond logo. It said EA was in early development of their next Bond game after "Russian With Love," which would be a "License to Kill" game starring Timothy Dalton. I remember being so excited lol. Unfortunately, it was either bullshit or it got canceled. Either way, it sucks that it never materialized.
I should go back and see if you included Agent. I was so excited for something in the same ballpark as From Russia with Love with Rockstar at the helm.
I still think about that first E3 trailer of Rainbow Six Siege. The level design was more dark and gameplay felt more tactical and graphics more realistic. Way different than how Siege is now.
Remember a game called Huxley. Was a mass online fps back on the pc. Maybe a play demo of it online somewhere
does anyone remember that cancelled superhero game called hero and then project awakened? think it was being made by phospher games, the customisation looked so cool
I still wish we got that version of splinter cell conviction. I was all for it back in the day. I swear there was even Game Informer Magazine piece.
I always love when I open TH-cam and there’s a new Jake video!
Urchen (by Rare, I think that's what it was called) would be an interesting thing to see. There used to be way more concept art online and it hasn't really popped up since.
I don’t know that I would have played an Apocalypse Now game, but of all the movies considered for a video game treatment, that is one of the last ones I would have considered. Would have been interesting to see how it turned out.
