The Lost and Canceled Video Games Iceberg: Explained
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 май 2024
- Unlike films and music, video game preservation is not as commonly practiced which leads to many games being lost. There are also plenty of gaming projects that have been canceled for a variety of reasons such as financial issues, lost passion, or other circumstances. This iceberg strives to compile and recollect most of the more notable examples of these games. This is the Lost and Canceled Video Games Iceberg.

A tad late but the GMod console ports may refer to the Xbox Kinect support found within Garry's mod. It supports all forms of Kinect (xbox 360+Pc) and works with mild accuracy. Perhaps some believed that this was evidence of a Console port of GMod but, who knows for certain.
So this video and portal Iceberg getting part 2 right?

How is Silent Hills not in the surface tier??? It's probably the most well known canceled game in the ps4/Xbox one gen.
it's probably because people only know about Silent Hills being canceled and that's it.

For anyone having genuine anxiety about the dack hunt picture, I want you to think of something. I want you to picture some dude in his mom's basement, sitting at his desk, ramen noodle cups everywhere, anime posters plastered over his walls, and using MS Paint to draw the poorly made image of the dog. Picture him using his mouse to draw and thinking "Haha this is gonna scare people". When you picture how that whole story and imagery was made, it doesn't seem that bad anymore. It really is just some dude in his basement making spooky drawings.
That's kinda the same thing when it comes to horror movies or other things like that. It's only scary when you don't consider the fact that someone had to be behind it. Also, if you want another way to make the dack hunt image seem less frightening, just know that if you took the time to learn basic image editing skills, you could probably recreate the image with minimal effort. Thinking about it like that kinda helps, at least for me.
oh please, it's not that serious X'D
when ever I see scary pictures I just imagine them in a bikini.
I guess that helped a little....
Its so bizarre why does it creep me out so much
Ok but i wasnt expecting an SCP on this list lol
Somehow, and don't ask why, but I wasn't entirely surprised

I have a friend who worked at Buzz Monkey Software many years ago. He worked on the South Park game mentioned in this video, and gave me a bunch of info about the game’s development.
Ubisoft, in their infinite wisdom, didn’t do any research about the South Park IP at all prior to this project, and suspected the show’s humor would be more like The Simpsons, and not… well, South Park! As a result, they instituted bizarre guidelines like “The children cannot be in danger”, “The children can’t swear”, and more. As a result, Trey Parker and Matt Stone despised the game when it was shown to them.
He also backed up the statements about unprofessional producers, noting that they would openly snort lines of cocaine while in the office.
What's even funnier, The Simpsons have Children swearing a couple of times and at the time the Episode Boys of Bummer came out, which is an episode about the town bullying Bart into he tried to kill himself
Ironically enough, Ubisoft would eventually become the publishers of Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole, and allow the game to be just as offensive as the show, possibly moreso due to it involving, among other things, kids murdering adults with farts.

@@ConcernedAlien ubisoft wasn’t the original publisher of the stick of truth and when they were some parts were finished so they must’ve liked they saw and would publish another game in the same vein as the stick of truth
When I looked at the "No Return" layer and saw "Ethnic Cleansing", the one thing ringing in my head was "FIND THE ILLEGAL ALIEN.". Thanks, Mutahar. Maybe watching so much Deep Wep Browsing was a bad idea lol
“Hello guys and gals, me Mutahar and TODAY…”
“Kekcroc” is almost definitely a joke, since on /v/ it’s a common meme/game to talk about a fake game (for example, Ed, Edd, n Eddy Online) to extensive detail, and for others to chime in with other pieces of fake trivia and gameplay experiences to make the game seem real to people not in on the joke.
Lol nah my uncle worked on it
my dads wife worked on it
My girlfriend's husband worked on it
My parrot worked on it
Not to mention Kek is literally a 4chan term. And if it was in so many bargain bins, why don't we see this? 4chan got em again
"This could be just a shitpost. I mean look at the name seems like a big giveaway."
Meanwhile he acted like the Duck Hunt SCP was hyperrealistic lol.
Or a real game lmfaooo
Yeah, but people already know SCP is fiction, so there's no doubt that the Duck Hunt game is fake
Um actually my dads brothers sisters wife works for the foundation and she told me that the Duck Hunt SCP is real
Considering this was posted a couple weeks before Nintendo’s E3, I wouldn’t have blamed you if “Metroid Dread” was on this list. The notion that there was a game in development under that name has been around since like 2007, and after a while most people just assumed that, if it *DID* exist, then it had just been canned at some point
The same rules could apply to 6 days in falujah
A canceled game that was brought back from the dead in a new light
Mate that was awesome. I've watched the whole thing. Fun fact, i played Dead Space mobile 10 years ago. I had it on my old phone. Great game
I just started the video - was it the iOS one? I played it a ton in high school on my iPod Touch and I remember it was a ton of fun haha. I wonder if I could emulate it or something on my PC

I had gotten a job around the time it came out and bought it when I saw the mobile game played it so many times
It was the very first horror game I played, I was like 6 but I loved it. Sad that it’s basically lost media now, so many App Store games I loved are now forgotten by time

I heard that one of the things that internally killed development on Half-Life 2: Episode 3 was the reaction to the infamous ending of Mass Effect 3 in 2012, making a lot of people at Valve think that whatever shape Episode 3 were to come out in, it could never meet the hype tied to it, and if even one thing was not to fans' liking, it would trigger a backlash even worse than the one against Mass Effect 3. Make of that what you will.
I’m sure that one of the reasons why we don’t have hl3
now THIS is a proper, high quality iceberg video. More iceberg videos should be just like this one as I think you executed the format and presentation very on spot and on point.
There are lots of good quality ones
I like when an iceberg is interesting… and hate when the iceberg is crammed full of stupid meme entries, or when the iceberg explainer has to explain very basic things. (What is youtube?)
@@aaronjames3228 but the bad ones outweigh the good ones on certain topics. You'll have people just ramble on without when mentioning what tier they're on.

And today Metroid Dread is back from the dead.

So for the first gen Pokémon games since this wasn't explained very well: the first Pokémon games released were Pokémon Red and Green in Japan. These were incredibly rough, and so Pokémon Blue was released in Japan as an updated release. When the first generation of Pokémon was localized for the US market, instead of basing the US release off the first two games, they based it off the updated rerelease, effectively taking Pokémon Blue and splitting it into the two games we got, Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue. The Japanese Pokémon Red and the American Pokémon Red are not the same games.
All I can say is thanks for bringing my attention to "dack hunt REMIST ER", that whole TotleighSoft series is just the blend of terrifying and hilarious I've come to love from the SCP Foundation

I’d like to say about “Russian version of Sonic the hedgehog 2(1992)”
It was a build of Sonic 2 that was released unofficially in Russia
Actually playable and choosable levels was green hills levels:3,2,1(the only level with enemies)
Other was unable to complete and choose (except special cheat, that you could find in magazines), Starting from casino night zone, there wasn’t level at all.
If you start death egg zone, you will break all the sounds in this “game”
That cheat: at title screen, hold A and press start.
Can you tell me where I can find more information on this? I looked it up but I cant find anything about it. Just a fan film and a Sega quiz show.
This sounds like one of the Sonic 2 prototypes...
Does it contain wood zone & hidden palace?
Holy shit that Bradberry “SLAAAAAAAMING” clip woke me up and I thought I got sent back in time-
Bro on the Excel hall of tortured souls, the reason it was made was that Microsoft had a practice of not crediting their software teams in the 90s, so the team included the easter egg in order to get themselves credited without management knowing. However, because of this policy, Microsoft soon found out and the whole team were fired. Pretty evil skullduggery on Microsoft's part. That's the reason it was called "Hall of Tortured Souls", they worked long hours to make frankly a boring shitty software only to be uncredited for it
*"boring shitty software"*
Excel was never suppossed to be fun, it was suppossed to be a productivity software.
@@toumabyakuya Yeah okay so that justifies abusing your workers does it? Nobody likes a pedant

@@jackeldridge1319 First, calm down. I haven't insulted you or anything, so there's no reason for you to react like that.
Second, I never said that Microsoft was right. My entire argument is that calling the software "boring" and "shitty" is factually wrong because it both accomplishes what it set to do and also wasn't suppossed to be entertaining to begin with.
@@toumabyakuya Why are you arguing the point when you literally agree with my argument as you say yourself just shut up LMAO

There were some other religious Atari 2600 games:
The Music Machine was one released by Sparrow, & another one from them was Arkyology. The latter was cancelled, but a ROM of it was found.
Oh, & it's not just the ZX Spectrum that has lost custom games. Heck, as far as I know, most pre-2000s indie games are straight up lost to time at this point.

Sonic Extreme looks like it would've been a really good one for childhood rainy days. Sucks that it didn't come out.
Strange to think some of this “lost media” could still technically be out there somewhere. Buried in the depths of an old computer hard drive, privately and secretly owned by some collector, rotting in the abandoned archive databases of a defunct studio. Places they will probably never be found, but still technically exist.
13:02 - Oh, I remember this. They paywalled the Legends 3 demo then threw the game’s development out of the crib when fans wouldn’t bite.
Okay, I just want to provide some clarification on KillSwitch at 52:04 because it seems that some important context was left out of the video.
KillSwitch is NOT a real game but a creepypasta, and the story is what’s said in the video.
Also, the video shown doesn’t look like a game from 1989, especially if it’s supposed to be a game for computers at that time. The graphics are basically the 2010’s vision of old 8-bit graphics, where the bases of 8-bit graphics (like what type of system or console it’s based on) are based on impressions, and are just made to look simple.
Basically, 2010’s 8-bit art has no bases, just what they think 8-bit looks like.
Thrill Kill is an extremely interesting one. It was never finished, but a nearly finished build is playable on PS1 emulators. It was the first fighting game to allow 4 players to fight at once, and introduced mechanics that were later used by other games in the genre. However, it was at the time (the late 90s) billed as being more violent than Mortal Kombat, and many of the characters were BDSM themed, so when EA bought out the producer they ended up cancelling it.
Some of these games don’t belong on this list, they are neither lost nor cancelled.
Yeah, some of them (especially in the last layer) aren't actual games but I still thought they were still interesting to talk about.
@@accessiblefunky :/
@@accessiblefunky I recommend you don’t include things that aren’t actually on topic with the video. SCP’s should be in a SCP iceberg and so on.
he didnt make the list though, i dont blame him for including everything even if it didnt relate. More to watch yknow?
@7shot solo this happened to my buddy Eric
The leaf was supposed to represent peace for the Pokemon GBA games huh?
More like they didn't want to have to pay to redo all the packaging.
I'm surprised Kirby GCN wasn't on the list. It was a scrapped Kirby game for the GameCube that would eventually be revealed that it was Kirby's Return to Dreamland in early stages of development, before HAL decided to switch to the Wii, because of better graphics, performance, etc. Great video tho!
Almost a decade later and I'm still pissed about Prey 2. At the very least they could adapt the story into a comic or something, they cant just leave us on this cliffhanger forever!
I remember I when Nintendo took away the DSI ware games I couldn't re-download Magical Whip.

@@rgkong8783 I do not comprehend
Admittedly, that Banjo X title sounds a bit like what the Xbox ended up getting with Conker the Squirrel, where the characters do know they're in a remake and adjust elements accordingly, like with the tutorial's gargoyle threat telling Conker that the devs knew he would do that and that he wasn't just gonna go down this time via a frying pan..... until Conker pulls out a spiked baseball bat.

Really great video!! Subscribing right now. I've been going down a ton of these game icebergs lately I can't believe I haven't seen that evil farming game on any of them so far?? I thought that would be like level 2 or 3 based on obscurity and like level 4 or 5 based on how accessible any content from it is.

They're below average, not worth your time.
I hate to say it, but same here.
Pretty neat video. I'm glad I found your channel and subscribed
I'm only a few minutes in, and I'm already loving how in depth this is with each game already, even just on the surface.
Speaking of the Zeebo, there an amazing unique Double Dragon on it. Its really not available anywhere except on Zeebo consoles with it downloaded already. I havent really heard anything about emulating the console, so its in limbo. Theres some videos of gameplay here on YT, check em out.
Sorry if you did mention it and I missed it.

Thank you for making this funky accessible, I sure do hate inaccessible funky.
Interestingly enough there was a fourth cancelled Black Isle Fallout game, called Fallout Extreme. In a twist on the isometric formula, this game sounded like it was going to be a tactical FPS game in a similar vain to Valkyrie Chronicles along with grand strategy elements similar to Total War. The story sounded amazing, with it beginning in the Cascadia region with you controlling a rebel faction known as the Cause who fought to free the region from Brotherhood of Steel control. After completing this task, you then learn why the Brotherhood is out here, and after that must go to the Forbidden City in Beijing to stop the remnants of Imperial China from firing a nuclear payload at the American wasteland.
It sounds freaking awesome, I mean a Fallout game where you get to see China and fight Cossacks? Sign me up. Sadly it seems it never left the planning phase, but hopefully someone might pick it up and recreate it someday
Great video! I would also recommend placing Twisted metal black harbor city in the video. It is an interesting cancelled game imo.
Well it's a good thing Metroid Dread wasn't on this list.
If Itoi considers Mother 3 to be light-hearted, I'd really hate to see what the game was originally like on the N64.
I get the feeling that the post "The End?" sequence didn't exist in the 64 version, since without it, the ending would just mean the world was destroyed.
Betray me....
The Smash Bros. prototype was actually called Ryuou: The Fighting Game, after the image in the stage background being a photo of Ryuou, a city in Japan. While the city’s name does translate to “dragon king”, it’s not what was intended.
All those Hentai RPGS/dating sims on newgrounds from back in the day should be added now. I remember all those from high school days but due to flash they are all lost to time. Very nostalgic for me,
Holy shit this is insane, good work man
That kekroc sound absoltuely terrified me nice touch
good video bro!
Pokemon events were also at Books-A-Million back in the day, too. More so than other stores in some areas. My mom always used the standard weekly TCG meetups to babysit me on Saturdays while I stocked up on Pokemon I needed or traded, lol. I even became a gym leader when I turned 14 in 2004 and went on to be in the national tournament for that year. Good times. Haymakers were amazing (and so was Tauros in game tournaments.)
I think back on their final year/day and they were handing out promos like they were worthless. At the time, they were, but now these same cards are super sought after. I also wonder what happened to game cartridges after gaming events. I know there were a lot of Stadium 1/2 games that were just given away.. there had to haven been event ones, too, specifically for the times. I remember there was one for Stadium that you would trade for in Stadium. Probably thrown away after.
Yuji Naka didn't create Sonic, he just programed for it.
Bandit was an arcade Spy Hunter clone developed by Data East but never released beyond a location test, and is so far unemulatable in MAME, though a collector uploaded footage from his arcade cabinet to YT, and as Rerez pointed out, it appeared during the arcade scene in RoboCop 2, poorly disguised as a The Real Ghostbusters cabinet (all of the movie's arcade games were by Data East, who held the RoboCop license at the time).
Speaking of lost Cartoon Network Flash games: while not a Flash game, Codename: Kids Next Door - Operation B.E.S.T. was a game that was only available for a few months in 2005, with the person with the highest score being revealed during the finale of KND. It was lost for years until an employee known as Les Bird released a playable build of the game as part of his portfolio on his website. I was thrilled to find this out, and I've been playing the game on my spare time.
They gotta make Duck Hunt Remastered: Remastered, where the game subconsciously tells you to kill geese instead. It’s for the betterment of mankind.
It was interesting up to the point where it stopped being about actual lost media and devolved into creepypasta territory.
54:00 what da dog doin
1:00:34 dude really did that whole thing without even mentioning the monsoon speech
Shame.
the world of warcraft area was originally intended to be part of the karazhan raid instance, but was scrapped because it would have made the instance to long. they made the area accessible in legion with a few quests and a secret going through there.
I love your videos, your voice is so relaxing compared to others :)
I was surprised to see that the developers for the Mean Girls game was 505 Games. They published ABZU, one of my favorite games as of late!
This video is amazing!

The only cancelled games that I have an interest in that weren't mentioned in this video are Dinosaur Planet and Capcom Fighting Allstars: Code Holders. The first one finally got ripped online in Feburary this year, unlike the latter. But speaking of that game, it got merchandise by Banpresto a month before the game was cancelled in Japan in the form of prize figures of Chun-Li and Ingrid; each with two colour variants. I find these figures interesting because they use the font and assests of the game seen in magazines prior to it's cancellation. I happen to own the Ingrid in this set with her Player 1 colour and she's nice. Base is big and the pegs don't fit it however.
great video, keep it up
The xbox one port of GMod comes from a misconception that the inclusion of Kinect Compatibility in the PC version of gmod indicated that an xbox port was in development. Garry Newman would confirm on his blog eventually that there were no plans for a console version of the game.
