Canceled Videogames?

[Hattrick]

What is one videogame cancellation you still feel heartbreak over, why was it canceled?

The fact Silent Hills was canceled is something I believe will always be devastating to fans of both the Silent Hill franchise and of survival horror in-general. Silent Hill in and of itself has inspired a plethora of other survival horror outings, influencing an entire genre (alongside Resident Evil). Twice over, however, a mere trailer (P.T.) for Silent Hills has also inspired a new phase of surrealist horror - from Layers of Fear to Resident Evil 7, and it is sad to think that it will never see the light. I don't hate Bloober Team as much as certain gamers do (I liked Blair Witch, I thought Layers of Fear was alright), but even if their remake of Silent Hill 2 is best case scenario (as good a remake of Silent Hill 2 as Capcom's remake of Resident Evil 2), it is still, frankly, a retread of what came prior to. Silent Hills, on the other hand, wasn't trying to celebrate the past but usher the franchise someplace new and innovative.

Mega Man Legends 3 cancellation still upsets me to this day, especially seeing how we have a Mega Man 11 now and are getting collections of other spin off series. Maybe once Capcom comes around and gives us a Mega Man Legends Collection (if they can get past the legal roadblocks when it comes to the English voice acting), they can give us Mega Man Legends 3. After all, that's how we got Mega Man 11 in the first place. There was a unlockable image of Mega Man wearing at the time a new Robot Master's armor, which hinted at Block Man from Mega Man 11.

Half Life 3 has entered the chat.

I've always wondered what XCOM Alliance would have looked like.
