Cancelled Nadeo Adventure, BOB 2, Sci-Fi FPS (Patreon)

Keeping up with our assorted queue of lost games waiting to be remembered, we added 3 cancelled games in the Unseen64 archive:

B.O.B. 2 [SNES, Mega Drive]: the original B.O.B. was a run ‘n gun platformer developed by Gray Matter Inc. and Foley Hi-Tech Systems, published in 1993 by Electronic Arts for SNES and Mega Drive (Genesis). A sequel titled “B.O.B. II” was also in development not long after the first one, but in the end the project was canned and never officially announced by EA: https://www.unseen64.net/2020/03/22/bob2-cancelled-snes-mega-drive/

Lanfeust of Troy [PC]: a cancelled action adventure that was in development for PC by Nadeo around 2001, before they became a favorite team among fans of arcade racing games, thanks to their release of TrackMania in 2003. In 2001 Nadeo was still trying to find their niche, working on many different prototypes such as Windracer and Cyberdrive to pitch them to different publishers: https://www.unseen64.net/2020/03/20/lanfeust-troy-nadeo-pc-cancelled/

Helix Core [PC]: a cancelled online sci-fi FPS that was in development around 2002 – 2003 by Bright Light Productions, planned to be released for PC. Its main focus was the high number of players who could frag together in a single arena: up to 64 players. This was worked on 8 years before MAG and its 256-players deathmatch, or 13 years before PlanetSide 2’s 1158 simultaneous players: at the time it was quite an ambitious feature for Helix Core: https://www.unseen64.net/2020/03/19/helix-core-pc-cancelled/
