Cancelled Ball-Rolling Puzzle, '00s Tech Demo, Tribes Expansion (Patreon)

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

Orb [PS2]: a cancelled puzzle game that was in development by Blitz Games Studios for Playstation 2. Gameplay would have been similar to Kororinpa, Marble Madness, and the Super Monkey Ball series: you had to move a ball around strange mazes, while pressing switches to open doors and resolving other environmental hazards to reach the goal: https://www.unseen64.net/2020/06/19/orb-blitz-games-ps2-cancelled/

Inevitable Evolution [PC]: a GeForce3 Tech Demo created by Inevitable Entertainment (AKA Midway Studios Austin) in 2001, to pitch their skills to publishers. At the time it was quite impressive, with detailed 3D models and light effects, and by today’s standard it still has that “early ‘00s 3D aesthetic” look that somehow makes it fascinating for us: https://www.unseen64.net/2020/06/18/inevitable-evolution-geforce3-tech-demo/

Tribes Extreme [PC]: a cancelled Starsiege Tribes single + multiplayer expansion that was in development for PC by Dynamix, around 1999. It was meant to offer a proper single player experience, with 12 campaign missions and a new tribe featured in the storyline: https://www.unseen64.net/2020/06/17/tribes-extreme-pc-cancelled/
