Cancelled MechAssault 3, Streets of Rage Online, Sci-Fi MMORPG (Patreon)

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

MechAssault 3 [Xbox 360]: cancelled sequel to the MechAssault series, which seems to have been pitched by Day 1 Studios to Microsoft for their Xbox 360 (or Xbox One) console. We can assume MechAssault 3’s gameplay would have been similar to previous chapters, with players using mechs, tanks and other vehicles to resolve missions in a sci-fi military setting: https://www.unseen64.net/2020/09/21/mechassault3-xbox-cancelled/

Streets of Rage Online [PS3, Xbox 360]: cancelled sequel to the SOR series, pitched by BottleRocket Entertainment to Sega around 2008. The game was planned to be developed for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, during a strange period in which Japanese publishers hired western developers to create new games for their old IP series: https://www.unseen64.net/2020/09/21/streets-rage-online-bottlerocket-cancelled/

Blackstar [PC]: cancelled Sci-Fi MMORPG that was in development around 2005 by Spacetime Studios, planned to be published on PC by NCSoft ( Lineage, City of Heroes, WildStar, Guild Wars). The team was composed of experienced developers who worked on such projects as Wing Commander, Star Wars Galaxies and Ultima Online: https://www.unseen64.net/2020/09/21/blackstar-spacetime-studios-cancelled/
