Name a game that became vaporware or has fallen off radar that you miss or wanna know more about!

The Highlander game would be mine, the idea of impaling yourself or setting yourself on fire to kill enemies sounded interesting and I thought it could bring about some very interesting destructible enviorments atleast, but it just kinda went up in smoke.

I really wanted them to make it. I hope it'll at least be made next gen. It would have been awesome swinging lightsabers through an army with motion controls.

Top of the list.... The remaining chapters originally planned by Yu Suzuki... Shenmue 3 - 10. :?

This gen.. Conker Live: Exploded and Kameo 2. :evil:

EDIT: Hot off the press and with this, who needs a proper Shenmue sequel anyhow ? :P

A presentation for the new social game Shenmue City was held on Monday in Akihabara, finally showing the public exactly what this new chapter in the series will look like. A few details were also confirmed regarding the nature of this game, while the release date remains unknown.

Among the guests at the presentation, which included former Sega mascot Segata Sanshiro, was creator of the original Shenmuegames, Yu Suzuki. He spoke to the crowd and answered a few questions for Famitsu about the new game as well as the future of the series.

As previously reported, players will not be controlling former protagonist Ryo this time around. Instead, players will chose from the townspeople of Yokosuka, the setting of the original game. That's also where this game will begin, although it was revealed that future updates will allow players to travel to Hong Kong as Ryo did in Shenmue II.

There will be a combat system for players to battle one another (as well as "bosses") with characters falling into one of three groups: fighters who use kung fu, fighters who use weapons, and magic users.

Shenmue City will not be for any home console. It will be playable on Japanese mobile phones as well as a new Yahoo online gaming portal. As you can see from the screenshot on the right, while the game makes use of images familiar to fans, the display has been optimized for smaller devices.

Given the popularity of Shenmue among gamers, it was inevitable that the subject of a "Shenmue 3" would come up. Yu Suzuki responded thusly: "I feel like I want to make '3' on par with the previous games, and there are many requests from the fans for it. Tens of thousands have petitioned for it, and I want to take charge of this series as best I can."

However, he said he "wanted to try and make a social game," something he noted didn't even exist as we know it when Shenmue first came out.

Tehe, That's what I would have called it but I'm speaking of this:

"

No less than 90% of our August readers want him back, according to our latest poll. That's an awful lot of tasteful gamers. And even though it's hard to think on any way the original game could be surpassed, none of us can deny that we are craving for a sequel too. Damn, we are talking about the most original, controversial, hilarious, shocking yet scintillating game Rare has ever created.

Quite some time ago, there were some rumours about a second instalment: Conker's Other Bad Day. We were supposed to follow Conker's quest for his girlfriend Berri, but this time as the king of all his land. Such a premise would have been easy to come up with, since the Easter egg sequence after the ending credits of Bad Fur Day showed Conker getting wasted once again and walking into the darkness, presumably during the early morning of what was about to become his hundredth hung-over day.

It could have been that. But we wanted to know it for sure. So we asked Chris Seavor what ever happened with Other Bad Day and why the hell is that we are not playing that game if everybody seems to want it. He answered that not only did they start working on a sequel with that title, they also had a full storyline ready to be depicted on the screen and many new movie references in mind: "We actually started on a direct sequel which was going to be called 'Conker's Other Bad Day' which dealt with Conker's somewhat unsuccessful tenure as King. He spends all the treasury money on beer, parties and hookers. Thrown into prison, Conker is faced with the prospect of execution and the game starts with his escape, ball and chain attached, from the Castles highest tower."

OMG!! Now IM mad at Microsoft!! WTH?? This game NEEDS to be made. I cant help but to think that under Sony, this game would be on the shelves already. :( (Please dont get upset fanboys lol, we all know Sony devs have more creative freedom with their titles)

Project Offset. Hyped this game for 5 years until it was officially canned because of Intel. This could have very possibly been the greatest game ever made and i am about 90% sure it would have dethroned Crysis as Graphics King. There hasn't been a truly AAA Fantasy FPS experience and that is what this game would have been. Just look at the concept art, look at the videos that came out in 2005 that looked better than Crysis even then. This game would have been epic.

Dead Island, it looks like what Dead Rising should have been.. Too bad there has been little news on it, and too bad it's not on the PS3.

its really sad all these games mentioned get cancelled but games like Hannah Monatana, Barbie, or even crappy 3PS games/ FPS come out.
