/vr/ - Retro Games

We almost had it

What cancelled games are you pissed off never came out?

So unbelievably pissed off this got canned. It had a story approved by Russel and Carpenter and it would have been hilarious to see Solid Snake compete with the franchise he was cloned from.

Curious why this game would get so far only to be shitcanned. Surviving footage implies it was pretty far along (and it looked fun).

It was planned by Namco to be a big series with multiple games, then poof, it was gone. I suspect licensing issues.
The Thing game was pretty good, and clever. It probably wouldn’t have been some 9/10 experience but I loved 6th gen games based on 80s movies.
There is a timeline where this came out along with a Big Trouble In Little China open world beat-em-up game and we don’t live in it.

Every few years I remember this existed and then get pissed off we will never play it unless a developer build leaks.
