/vr/ - Retro Games

Literally just saw this, while I was perusing wikis.

DK3
Battlefront 3
Deep Down
Prey 2
Legend of Dragoon 2
Project HAMMER maby

>>9279853
>DK3
Specify, because to me that reads as Donkey Kong 3, which came out.

>>9279852
Beetle Adventure Racing 2 as a launch GameCube game is a timeline I’d like to visit.
>>9279853
>Prey 2
RIP, first Prey is so fucking good and unique, shame it isn’t retro and that Bethesda shit shouldn’t have even bothered using the name.

>>9279840
We did get this game. It's clearly an early version of Dead to Rights.
Every location, from the night club and the Chinatown street to the prison and cemetery, seem to be unchanged from the final game.
I'm unsure about some of the bosses, but I know the Tattoo fight in the trailer is the prison's boss fight from DtR.

Like, dude go play this game. It's time.

>>9279871
Snake’s Escape was slated for 2005, so no it isn’t this 2002 game. If anything it ended up being DtR2 and even if it did, it’s worthless without Snake.

>>9279854
No, a stanley bugman game was released instead of real DK3

>>9279852
I would have bought a Pilotwings64 sequel :/

>>9279878
What was the real DK3?

>>9279876
So they re-used gameplay and assets from an already-existing game, only changing the playable character model, and you're upset that you never got it?

>>9279881
Does DtR have stealth? I’ve never played it.
And yes, it being tied into Escape from New York is why anyone would want to play it.

>>9279884
Yeah. Like I said, the whole first part half of the demo is ripped directly from Dead to Rights.

>>9279887
I don’t want to play dead to rights though anon, I want to play as Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken and I want to escape from somewhere.

>>9279854
Dungeon Keeper 3

>>9279840
>What cancelled games are you pissed off never came out?
That Star Trek game made by the developers who made Star Trek 25th Anniversary and Judgment Rites. All the dialogue with the original cast members had already been recorded when it was canceled.

Agent by Rockstar Games. Supossed to be set in the Cold War. That's all we know

Powerslave 2

Leisure Suit Larry Island Tale for PS2, XBOX and PC. It was cancelled at 70% development complete. Shame. https://www.unseen64.net/2020/04/17/leisure-suit-larry-island-tale-cancelled/

was there a metroid game ever in development for the n64? if so im glad that never came out. cant imagine it actually working on that console

>>9279840
just take 6th gen and backwards from this thread:
>>>/v/612971778

but the most hurting ones were:
superman psx
daredevil ps2
messiah psx
and several ports for sega saturn and dreamcast

>>9280130
ups wrong link hoe do I delete my own post? thanks

>>9280130
sorry, this is the correct link: >>>/v/612893915

>>9279840
I never heard of this game, but I'm sad that it was never released. It does look like it has a more conventional schlocky action tone than the original movie, which is a lot more subdued and dark, but the game looks like it could be a lot of fun.

>>9279887
That's interesting to learn, and that'd suggest that development may not have been far along at all, it seems they dropped Snake Plissken into another game as a placeholder demo, perhaps with a few tweaks. In fact I'm surprised that this would even be shown publicly, this seems more like a rough pitch someone would cook up to get investment.
I get why the tone is so very different this way.

>>9280130
>caring about console ports
nothing was lost

>>9279840
Upset prey 2 never came out. Fucking loved that game

This fucker looked so cool in the catalog.

Kirby for GameCube. I didn't find out about it until about a year after it was announced, and was pretty mad when I realized it was probably never coming out, because it looked stellar to my eyes. Yes, I know Kirby's Return to Dreamland is kind of the culmination of it, but I kind of prefer the vibe they were going for with the original concept.

>>9279840
yo, i have a demo copy of first escape, you want me to upload it?

>>9280392
Sure why not

>>9280392
Would love to see it if you're telling the truth. The impression I get is that it wasn't much different from Dead To Rights and was mainly just a rough concept, but it'd be neat to see what is actually different.

>>9280392
If you aren’t trolling then yes absolutely of course.

>>9280130
>>9280136

You fucking go on /v/ faggot? How would you even know this thread exists? Are you 15 years old?

>>9280182
I think it’s fine to make it a silly beat-em-up/third person shooter.
In a perfect world it would be a mix between GTA’s open world in NYC + metal gear solid. In a perfect world it also would have came out.

>>9279840
Was going to say Socks the Cat but evidently it was released in 2018

>>9279840
https://youtu.be/mjsrwwRceck
AAAAAAAAA IT WAS ALMOST BETA STATE ALL VOICE LINES AND LEVEL DONE, MODDERS PLS

>>9280051
In Sakamoto's own words, he couldn't figure out the controller. He seems genuinely challenged by the idea of 3D game design(considering Other M was his baby). I'm not sure what his problem is.
If you want to see what an N64 Metroid could have been, you can pretty much just look at Acclaim's games. Particularly Turok 2.

>>9280381
Didn't a lot of it get recycled as Sub-space Emissary?
A Kirby game on GC, potentially made in the Smash Bros Melee engine doe sound cooler though. I agree.

>>9279840
>tfw you will never fly the gullfire over leningrad

I like the dreary semi-apocalyptic world set up in Escape From New York, where WW3 has happened and there's been limited WMD exchanges (I think largely chemical ones, New York was hit by nerve gas which drove people nuts), so things have gone pretty shit, but without complete societal collapse.
A guy like Plissken being a famous outlaw looking out for himself in this cynical and hopeless world, caught and exploited for petty government power plays, and he fucks them in the ass.

>>9279853

Escape from New York is my favorite action movie ever because of how beautifully set up it is. It’s just perfect. Every single thing about it is perfect. It’s flawless.

God help us when the remake comes out. For the love of god wokify anything but this. May the heavens strike lightning and plague upon the studio and people making it.

>>9281932
eh don't most remakes end up discarded by pop culture anyway?

>>9281932
They cancelled the remake a couple of years ago I think.

>>9281967
It did now it’s back on.
>>9281940
Yes but no. Even if something is rejected by the public, it goes on the record, and for younger people it becomes what the associate a name with.
Public totally rejected TLJ, but 5-10 year olds are going to forever associate Star Wars with nuwars.

>>9281932
Have you read the novelization of it? I found it a couple of years ago, internet went out and I figured I'd watch some movies, including Escape From New York, and when it came back on I felt the drive to look up stuff about it.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y5Bbm726xPLj18fyrghBTQrRoN18pRp3/view?usp=sharing

Meant to read it but never got around to it. Figured I'd share the .PDF of it because it's been out of print forever.

>>9280018
that's weird bc, usually, in game development, dialog recording is usually the very last thing that they do before a game is released (bc actors are busy and you don't want to waste your money or their time).
would like to know more.

so many -

lucasarts follow-up to sam & max - was done except for bug stomping and final dialog recording. canceled bc lucasarts didn't think adventure games were viable anymore.

the lost vale - ultima 8 expansion pack - the shit was done, gold master. never released bc ultima 8 sold poorly.

first version of timeshift - game was in final tinkering phase and bug stomping. they even had the final dialog recorded. game changed publishers and the new publisher wanted a total revamp.

there were a lot of games that were in earlier phases of development that were canceled that i would've loved to have seen the final product but those are the ones that were either over the line or right at it when they were canceled.

>>9281978
Holy shit, thanks for the link king. I didn’t even know this existed, and if I did I forgot! Will definitely read this sometime.
The oddest thing I know that exists is a board game they made in 1981 I’ve never had the heart to spend the ungodly amounts of money it goes for. I love the design of it, it couldn’t be more perfect. They did a new board game pretty recently that is completely soulless in comparison. One day I’ll find one for a reasonable price.
I should really go on the tabletop board and ask if someone can scan/take high res photos of everything for preservation purposes.

>>9280437
For the record, this was supposed to be a sequel to the original PC-8801 and MSX2 versions of Snatcher that ended the story on a cliffhanger. The console versions of Snatcher (starting with the PC Engine one) added an epilogue that is basically just a cliff notes version of Kojima's ideas for the abandoned sequel.

>>9282489
Apparently they were going to make it 3D animated using motion capture of clay models, which turned out more difficult than they'd planned.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Secret_of_Vulcan_Fury

>>9282775
Here's the full picture
3rd act was planned for the original release but didn't make it, it was later reused for the expanded ending in the RPG remake on MSX and adapted again into the console versions. Every version ends on a cliffhanger

>>9281478
Not even japs devs could figure it out, funny

They weren't great games but I loved the style of them.

>>9282870
It was not the same Act 3 that was later included in the console versions, since the whole Snatcher game plan was originally supposed to be five acts (and then extended to six acts). Tomiharu Kinoshita, the original Snatcher and Policenauts artist, has a Twitter account where talks about both games in great details.

>>9279840
I always assumed they cancelled this because they realized they couldn't compete with Metal Gear.

There was an entire EFNY revival going on in the early 2000s, with comic books, the game in the OP, a sequel movie, and even an anime in production.

It all got cancelled when Debra Hill died for some reason. Some of the comics still got published because they were already paid for, but the rest got canned. I'd say your best bet for a proper EFNY experience in games is The Warriors game for PS2/PSP. It doesn't have Snake, but the setting, tone and style are all very close.

>>9283176

>>9283181

>>9281932
efny is overrated. there are far better action films. there are far better 80s films. plissken is a meme. inb4 b-but kojima

>>9283278
There's probably more people who know of Solid Snake and Big Boss than they do of Snake Plissken.

dirty Harry

>>9279840
Do cancelled localisations count? If so Dragon Quest 4 for PS1, hasn't been translated yet too.

>>9283145
Metal Gears success is most likely why they planned the failed revival as stated by >>9283176 Solid Snake was making millions and he’s a Snake Plissken clone, they figured they better get a piece of that pie.
>>9283176
Such a shame she died. That really did throw a wrench in the gears. Would they really just say “fuck it” to everything they were working on though? Thanks for sharing those pictures, it’s been a while since I’ve seen them.
>>9283278
Pull the dilator out of your wound and beat yourself to death with it. Escape from New York destroys trannies which is exactly why you have to me a contrarian faggot nobody likes or agrees with.
Escape from New York has literally never been overrated. Reviewers at the time gave it average scores and it wasn’t exactly a blockbuster mega hit. You’re just making shit up.
>>9283393
This is absolutely true, the copy replaced the original in the minds of the public over time. Hideo owes his success to ripping off Escape from New York.

>>9281932
I hope they cast a black man as Snake shattering what little is left of your fragile white ego.

>>9283629
I hope they cast the pizza in the back to the future 2 remake as a jew.

>>9283278
First of all, no carpenter fan is going to give a fuck about kojima. Secondly, name one 80s action film that's better starring Kurt Russell.

>>9283710
Just imagine if Hitler had ovens that were that quick!

>>9283723
Imagine a new back to the future where Marty and Doc Brown are watching the news and see niggers setting cities on fire and Israel receiving another billion.

Doc: “Great Scott! Hitler was right!!”
Marty: “Doc….we gotta go back and set things straight or we aren’t gonna HAVE a future!”

They hop in the Delorean and go back to 1933 where Doc gives Hitler the secrets to nuclear technology.

They return home to find the entire world at peace.

Power of Love (for your race) kicks in and credits roll.

Everyone but him figured it out.

Starcraft: Ghost. Would have been interesting to see an attempt by old blizz into a 3rd person stealth rpg. I was super psyched when I found out about it, only to realize all development of it halted. Sad.

>>9283732

Yeah we need to set it up so the audience knows who to hate.

Hey if we controlled all the media I bet you could influence people to believe what you want them to, isn’t that a gas?

Man it sure would be evil if there was a group of people who did that. If people found out I bet they’d be punished.

>>9283609
any other stock reddit opinions you wanna fire off?

>>9284027
I’ve liked escape from New York longer than you’ve been alive little boy.

>>9284041
You're trying waaaaay too hard to look like you're above the age of hmmmm let's say 11. Yeah. That's about right.
>>9284027

There was a cancelled sci fi shooter with team-commanding elements, I can't remember the name of but I think it was going to be an Xbox game. It took place on alien planets, very ambitious, but I believe it was cancelled before Halo came out.

https://www.unseen64.net/2008/04/15/dead-rush-xboxps2-cancelled/

I read the GameInformer article about this so many times. I've never seen the preview video before, though. Looks cool.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsUcjQp4Qb4

There was some /vr/ autist obsessing over an unreleased Famicom RPG a while back, apparently preservationists tried to buy it an auction but a Japanese collector outbid them.

Forgot the name of the game but I'd like to see it, maybe once the coomlector chokes in his own coom his mother will throw it in a bin and someone will find it.

>those 7 games about LOTR books

>Although the planned Hobbit game, Middle-earth Online and War of the Ring were all ultimately released, the two sequels in the Lords of the Rings trilogy were not. The first game, an adaptation of The Two Towers, was renamed The Lord of the Rings: The Treason of Isengard (a discarded title for the original Two Towers novel), so as not to cause confusion with EA's 2002 Two Towers game. Treason was first announced on April 24, 2003, with plans for a non-playable demo at E3 in May. The game was being developed by Surreal Software, who had handled the PlayStation 2 and PC versions of The Fellowship. Vivendi planned to release the game under the Black Label Games banner on Xbox and PS2, which had seen the highest sales of the Fellowship game.[63][64] Vivendi also hired Daniel Greenberg, a self-professed Tolkien fanatic, to work on the game.[61]

>At E3, a non-playable demo was shown. Following the mediocre critical reaction to Fellowship, Surreal had built a new game engine from scratch. Additionally, the rigidly linear gameplay from Fellowship was replaced with a mixture of both linear and non-linear levels. Vivendi also announced that a secret playable character could be unlocked in the game, but only if the player performed very specific actions. They refused to say who the character was. The demo featured a level set in Fangorn Forest, with Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli fighting a group of orcs. In total, apart from the secret character, the game was to feature six playable characters; Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, Boromir (in a flashback level), Frodo and Gandalf. Another new feature in the game was that the player-character often switched mid-level, adhering to the main point-of-view of the given moment in the novel. Multiplayer co-op was also available, and online multiplayer was said to be in the works.
