My top two games that were announced and cancelled that I wish had been released are Silent Hills and Mega Man Legends 3. If we count games that were never formally announced but were probably in development when the studio tanked, Tomba! 3 would be towards the top of my list.

Oh geez I'd have to think about this. Off the top of my head...

P.T./Silent Hills
Star Wars 1313
Whore of the Orient
Legacy of Kain: Dead Sun
Star Wars Battlefront 3
True Fantasy Live Online
Mega Man Legends 3

I could probably browse a list of vaporware and name dozens more

Awhile back, there was going to be a Highlander game with a new MacCleod character. Looked cool, interesting concept...died on the table. There couldn't even be one...

A highlander battle royale seems like it could be really fun. To encourage people to actively hunt each other, you get a small power boost for each immortal you take out.

StarCraft: Ghost and Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans

The former was only canceled because Blizzard/Activision didn't want to release the game to PS2/XBox in 2005 with the 360 coming out soon (and subsequently didn't want to port it), while the later was canceled because 2D games weren't "cool" in 98. Both were apparently just about finished (in fact Warcraft Adventures was leaked a few years back, and it is pretty much fully playable).

Imagine if they adapted some of the mechanics from the Assassin's Creed multiplayer, how you could blend in with NPCs and shit. I'd be all for a Highlander BR game

I think there were some Monster Rancher games that got cancelled or the localization/port got cancelled.

idk, in general there a lot of titles I saw previews, etc, for that never came out so there are any number of titles beyond that.

Scalebound
"Golden Axed"
I think there was some Zelda game similar to LttP on SNES that got scrapped?
Never announced, but I'm pretty sure if Suikoden IV and V hadn't bombed in sales, we'd have actually gotten Suikoden VI, the game I hope to see someday more than any other title.

I'm still working my way through the Suikoden series, but I really enjoyed the first two. Bummer that the series likely won't continue after V. But you've heard of Eiyuden Chronicles, right? I'm definitely looking forward to that!

I looked it up after their post, and Whore of the Orient looks like it was designed by people who worked on L.A. Noire and would play similarly but involve a story in 1930's Shanghai.

Yes, I have! Had a topic for it when the Kickstarter was ongoing and got the tier w/ a physical copy and physical soundtrack. Really looking forward to it, and maybe if it turns out amazing, Konami will license Suikoden to Rabbit & Bear studio to make Suikoden VI and revive the franchise (free royalties money for Konami and they can then make pachinko machines based off it...why not agree to such a deal?)

Not a game but any kind of internal Manhunt 3 things. I'd imagine a third game was thrown around idea wise if nothing more.

Aside from some already mentioned, I was looking forward to a Microsoft MMO by the name of Mythica.
Also, Borderlands, sort of. Don't get me wrong, I love the one we got, it's one of my favorite games. It's by that adoration I'd still like to visit an alternate reality where they pushed forward with the original Mad Max-ish aesthetic, see what might have been.

I got to play the demo of it at E3.(my friend's dad worked for the company that built the stages for E3) The game was pretty badass already, I can't help but wonder how badass the full game would've been. Nova had the lock down ability but the entire enemy for the demo stage was Zerg. The Blizz rep told me that they just had it in the demo to show that it's in the game. Then when I asked if nuking was going to be possible, he said that they were working on that.

Not quite a canceled game but Tenchu. There was a rumor going around that From Software was making a new one with a few teasers being dropped. Unfortunately though it turned out to be Sekiro instead. I'm not dissing Sekiro I'm sure it's a fine game its just that I wanted a new Tenchu. Supposedly Sekiro was going to be just that but then it was changed mid development. There's a few hints from the game footage I've seen but alas it's just not the same.

Im actually still a little salty that The Treason of Isengard was cancelled. Sure the book-based Fellowship of the Ring game wasnt amazing but it was cool that it even came out during the movie hype. Wouldve loved for the book-based games to have continued.
