This is a thread with a lot of cursing , bitching and crying (manly tears of course). Maybe for some there will also fell a secret, or-not-so-secret sadistic joy. Some fortunate souls may just not give a damn at all... This is a thread about interesting/promising/greatly anticipated RPG's that were in production but eventually got dropped. Don't include hype bubbles like Grimoire, it's been overly discussed in the codex and anyway it's still in production ( )
STORMBRINGER
The idea to start this thread came to me, when I stumbled upon Stormbringer, whose existence I wasn't aware of. I would really like to play a game with one of the best anti-heroes ever made and the fact that Moorock was actively involved makes it even more promising. Just look at this beautiful 2D art.
(time to get the two big OH NOES! out of the way)
MYSTARY !
Next one is of course the famous "Mystary" . The post-apocalyptic rpg that TOIKA was developing before they eventually shut down. The graphics were great and atmospheric, the isometric view seemed like it might really work in 3d and as far as the core game itself I'm sure they would have done a great job as always. The playtesting would probably be inadequate as always , but I can live with that...

Van Buren
The game that when it got canceled, shattered many hearts. These hearts eventually have been stepped on and exploded in a bloody mess [perk] by the marching Bethesda machine...

So, any other HUGE titles I forgot about? What about PST , is there any art or screens in the internets from the the sequel that was in pre-productiont? What about any of those mostly unknown games that almost got finished and showed some promise?
