🕑 Added 2019-12-02 20:41:18 +0000 UTCKeeping up with our accidental queue of lost games waiting to be remembered, we added 3 cancelled games in the Unseen64 archive:
Xevicom Unlimited [PC]: a cancelled story-driven FPS that was in development by Xevicom around 2009 for PC. The game was a tie-in for the Xevicom Forever graphic novel by fantasy author Ray Reid, planned to be a new chapter for their narrative. The team had quite the ambitious vision for Xevicom Unlimited, with a semi-open world to freely explore while watching over citizens and eliminating enemies with high-level AI: https://www.unseen64.net/2019/12/02/xevicom-unlimited-pc-cancelled/
Sea Dog [NES]: also known as Mariner’s Run is a cancelled RPG / submarine simulation / Shoot ‘em up game planned to be published for NES / Famicom by Vic Tokai. We could imagine Sea Dog somehow similar to cult-classic Metal Max, but with real-time underwater shoot ‘em up combat instead than post-apocalypse turn-based combat around desert cities: https://www.unseen64.net/2019/12/02/seadog-mariners-run-cancelled/
Revolver (Jade Empire 2) [Xbox 360, PS3, PC]: an ambitious action RPG that was in development for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 by BioWare with the help of Big Sandwich Games. The project started as a Jade Empire sequel around the same time as they were working on the first Mass Effect for Xbox 360 (announced in October 2005). While Mass Effect would have been their major exclusive for Microsoft’s home console (PC version of ME was released 6 months later), Revolver was meant to be their new multiplatform series and many resources were put into the project, taking about 5 years to develop.
