Vaporware/extreme delayed games you wish would just show up already!

I have been dying for 'I am Alive' to come out for about 3 years now. Endless delays, never cancelled. I really want to play what seems to be a different take on survival horror. Unbeleviably great looking trailers that get the point across without giving away too much. Im superstoked for its potential Dec release, but im not holding my breath.

Plus as a bonus it takes place in Chicago! Hometown bonus! I already know the map!

....But seriously- any others you guys are looking for?

I've been waiting for KI 3 . . .

Why, Last Blade 3 & MOTW Special/2 of course.

Shenmue 3 and Midway's The Grid for consoles please!

It's not delayed really, it's cancelled, but I REALLY wanted Project HAMMER to become a real game. It looked like an interesting concept and would have been something very different from Nintendo, but it was dropped.

For, like, six years, I was really hyped for the Highlander game they were making for Xbox 360, PS3, and (especially) PC, and they cancelled it a few days ago. Dammit!

I notice the 2008 trailer looks a lot better than the 2010 trailer.

Diablo III.

Agreed...

Wet 2
Starcraft: Ghost
Shenmue 3

The Last Guardian, Final Fantasy Vs XIII, and Metal Gear Solid: Rising are the only ones I've been waiting for. I'm so close to just giving up on all of them.

I'm pretty sure Metal Gear Rising will be out next year. Konami is ready to release some more details on it soon.

Same with the Last Guardian. I bet we'll see it holiday 2012, or early 2013.

obviously was cancelled, but I always wanted Star Fox 2. The rom is essentially the finished game (its crash happy though) so I dont get not releasing it.

To me there's only one answer to this question:

Half-Life 3 (or Half-Life 2 Episode 3, whatever).

Akuma

Biohazard 1.5

A Complete finished version of Daraku Tenshi.

Shenmue 3 and Earthbound 'Zero' as some call it; I got a repro cart made, but I always wanted something official.

Biohazard 1.5 would be awesome... but will never see the light of day, unless Capcom decide to release it as DLC or maybe an extra on another full Biohazard release. Still, would be cool as fuck :D

Aliens: Colonial Marines - finally arriving next year, but it's been on the cards for donkeys years.

Half-Life 2: Chapter 3... when are we likely to see the continuation of Gordon Freeman's adventures??? :spock:

Unity.

I thought they cancelled that game at least a year or two ago. But either way I was also interested in it after reading an article about it in Game Informer about three years ago.

Also looking forward to Aliens: Colonial Marines, finally coming out after being announced at least four years ago.

MGS: Rising is probably my most anticipated game along with Bioshock Infinite. I suppose its possible the game has been having problems and thats why they haven't said a lot about it, but they also just announced we will hear more information about in December.

Remember when the PS3 had just released, and there were tentative titles on the horizon from Konami?

Gradius VI, specifically.

Of course it's never coming out, at least not in this generation, but that was a bit of a cocktease.

Beyond Good and Evil 2

Metroid Dread

Was it cancelled? It just seemed to vanish a few years ago. I want another 2D Metroid.

it was one thing with the whole Duke Nukem Forever b.s.(and it ended up being as terrible as I thought)... but the HL series never disappointed... except in how long it would take between installments.

they have been making us wait a ridiculous amount of time this time though. Awhile back, fans were camping out in front of Valve's HQ demanding the new addition. I don't know what the hold up is this time... but its almost getting to the point where I'm giving up hope.... almost.

It'll definitely come out eventually. For all we know, they could be almost done... Valve doesn't talk about games until they're nearly finished.

I suspect that Episode 3 just really got away from them, and wound up becoming a full fledged sequel of its own. I bet they just kept on working on it, like an author that set out to write a 300 page book but wound up writing a 1000 page book.

I thought of another vaporware game though: Back in the PS1 days, I really liked the two Fear Effect games. Eidos was working on a sequel for PS2 that was supposedly very close to being done, then shitcanned it.

A console port of 'Blake Stone' by apogee.

The Last Guardian-PS3
The Last Story (english)-Wii
Pandora's Tower (english)-Wii
A fixed and properly working FF XIV-PS3

Those are the only ones I want that I can think of that are in existence/in production that aren't available yet.

Didn't those come out in the UK? So there is an English version. But if you mean a NA release, then that indeed is vaporware, 'cause it probably won't happen. (Fuck you, Nintendo.)

Daikatana 2

That 3d capcom fighting allstars...looked like it could be fun

it WAS thrill kill. It was also released as a toned down-reskinned game called: wu-tang: shaolin style. Basically Wu-Tang Clan members killing each other less violently.

It sucks that Mother 1 (Earthbound 0) was finished and never got released. There's a guy on Youtube called Ruu that owns one of the four prototype carts. He said the whole game is complete and is pretty much finished and translated. They also left in a run button that the Japanese version didn't have. It sucks they can't work out the rights for anything regarding the Mother series. I got Earthbound (Mother 2) on the SNES when GameStop was phasing out SNES and Genesis carts for 25 bucks and loved every minute of it. If they made a triple pack for the 3DS I'd buy that and the system in an instant.

I remember that but never played it. Was it decent? I Wasn't really a Wu-Tang fan, I admit.

I played Earthbound on the SNES and liked the concept, how it wasn't part of the whole swords and sorcery theme that you find with most of those games, but got stuck on it and had to quit. I might revisit it again someday. I've been debating selling the SNES cart for awhile...

Guild Wars 2 (I don't even bother reading news about this game any more)
Diablo 3

Mother 3 (the N64 version not the GBA)
Starcraft Ghost
Jungle Tai Tei
The Highlander Game - it was announced for ps3 early in its life, but haven't heard of anything since

I would've been interested to have played that Konami America-developed Castlevania game planned for the Dreamcast.

If you have any fondness left for SNES era RPGs (I know I do), I'd play it first before selling it. You ought to at least beat it if you ask me. The ending bits are pretty memorable.

Policenauts in English.. that doesn't require a modded PSX and a 3rd party patched japanese disc copy.

I have a friend that works for the company that makes Guild Wars 2. He says next year and that they're playing it in the office constantly.

I really want Shenmue III. I'd also like a Shenmue 1 and 2 collection. I really want to play those games again, but don't have a Dreamcast anymore.

English translations are OTW in Europe but they haven't been released yet. Still in development. But you can bet your ass I'll have them when they get translated.

BTW, I got JP versions of the games and tried them both out.

I can't imagine why anyone in my corner of the world would want to play these.

Fucking Nintendo. They need new management.

it was terrible.

Since this is turning into a list of Ports that I really wish would happen:

Terminator Salvation (Arcade) ported to the Wii or Playstation Move.

The Ganbare Goemon game that shut down Working Designs. XD

I'd love to see that ported along with H2O Overdrive. Raw Trills wants to keep their games arcade exclusive which sucks because a lot of people aren't going to get a chance to play either game.

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but Too Human 2. I genuinely enjoyed the first one and would love to see the rest of the story (and improvements on the gameplay of the first) as well as the promised 4-player co-op.

Yes I know it was canceled, but I'll go to my grave pissed off about this.

Was the whole reason I bought an import N64 and modded it to play American games at a fucking $500.00 + extra controller + Super Mario 64 pricetag. (I didn't want to wait on the Mario thing so that's why the import). I was sold on those Vaporware shots in EGM and other mags at the time, and REALLY believed a fucking ROBOTECH game was gonna come out.

:oh_no:
