Unseen Robot Worlds, Strategy Wars and Kung-Fu Adventures (Patreon)

Keeping up with our old queue of games waiting to be remembered on Unseen64, this week we added 3 new articles in the Unseen64 archive:  

“PreCore” (Armature Studio) [Xbox 360, PS3 – Cancelled]: In April 2008, after completing Metroid Prime 3: Corruption for Nintendo, game director Mark Pacini, art director Todd Keller, and principal technology engineer Jack Matthews left Retro Studios to start Armature Studio. Between 2010 and 2011 Armature were working on an interesting action adventure game, featuring a young protagonist and a robot, somehow similar to Studio Ghibli’s anime “Laputa: Castle in the Sky“. From the few images and footage available it seems players would have been able to explore a sci-fi, post-apocalypse world, with the help of that strange mech: https://www.unseen64.net/2019/02/20/precore-armature-studio-cancelled/
