Content
Keeping up with our tearful queue of lost games waiting to be remembered, we added 4 cancelled games in the Unseen64 archive:
Metroid Prime 1.5 [GameCube]: an undeveloped new game in the Metroid Prime series, internally pitched at Retro Studios between the development of Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. This lost project was found in 2011 thanks to online research by Mama Robotnik on the NeoGAF forum, who unveiled the Metroid 1.5 design document written by former Metroid Prime designer: https://www.unseen64.net/2019/12/09/metroid-prime15-gamecube-cancelled/
Jason Bourne: Treadstone [Xbox 360, PS3]: a cancelled action video game based on the Jason Bourne novel series by Robert Ludlum, that was in development by Radical Entertainment (The Simpsons: Hit & Run, Prototype) around 2007 – 2008 for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. The Bourne license was revived in 2002 through a new film series and another Bourne video game titled “Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Conspiracy” was already published in 2008: https://www.unseen64.net/2019/12/12/bourne-treadstone-game-cancelled/
MediEvil Legends [PSP]: a cancelled hack & slash developed by ChocChip Moose team for Sony as a part of the MProf Games Development course. This prototype was based on a brief given by Sony to students of the course with plans to possibly fully developed it into a PSP Mini commercial release: https://www.unseen64.net/2019/12/09/medievil-legends-psp-cancelled/
Hero Mix [Xbox 360]:a cancelled music game / music tool that was in development by 7 Studios around 2010, planned to be published by Activision on Xbox 360 (and possibly Playstation 3). You would have been able to mix together different songs by playing some kind of rhythm game: https://www.unseen64.net/2019/12/09/hero-mix-cancelled-xbox360/
