We're still brooding over Arrested Development's early demise and now this...

Technophilia has put together a list of games that won't reach your Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles because they have been cancelled for various reasons. We have announced some of them previously but here are the titles you can take off your wish list:

PS3

TheseisTheseis
A victim of its own production cost, Track7 has shelved its Greek Myth game epic for the PS3. The good news, you may still play it on the Xbox 360 and the PC.



Killing DayKilling Day
Not confirmed cancelled but definitely MIA, and presumed dead by IGN, depsite impressive E3 sneak preview.



ElveonElveon
Again, this epic fantasy title has not been officially declared a goner by its developer but anything about the game has been taken off 10tacle Studios' website. PC and Xbox 360 versions still alive.



Endless SagaEndless Saga
Our posts about this game went from "Endless Saga announced" to "Endless Saga confirmed" and finally, "Endless Saga cancelled" all in a span of three days. Cause of death: "short of innovation and creativity we (Webzen) seek to achieve in online gaming space."


CondemnedCondemned:Criminal Origins
Plans were announced by Monolith Productions to bring Condemned: Criminal Origins to the next-gen consoles. Joystiq claims the title was executed back in September.



SmackdownSmackdown 07
Cancelled on PS3 but the action will continue on the PSP and Xbox 360 ring. At least for this year. Wait for Smackdown '08 on the PS3.



PS3 and Xbox 360
OblivionOblivion
Rumors of bringing this game to PS3 fell of the grapevine in 2004, and dissolved into the ground. New rumors say the PS3 version could still come in the future.



Splinter CellSplinter Cell: Double Agent
Although an appearance on "next generation consoles" was mentioned it wasn't specified if PS3 was one of them. A Ubisoft employee stated "we are not going to release DA for PS3." That's that.



ScarfaceScarface: The World Is Yours
Gone from the PS3 and the Xbox 360 but not forgotten. Pacino continues his struggle to reach the top of the underworld on the PS2, Xbox, PC and PSP.



Fear and RespectFear and Respect
A victim of an overcrowded urban-action genre, the title has scrapped off the face of the Xbox 360 and PS3. And yes, that's Snoop Dogg.



The SopranosThe Sopranos
Killed by lack of PS3 dev kits, the Xbox 360 version was scratched because , according to THQ, "didn't look all that much better than the PS2 version."



Xbox 360
Frame City KillerFrame City Killer
Cause of death, according to Namco Bandai, is "multiple reasons". They also said "new RPG" will rise on the Xbox 360.

Misleading info...

Qj.net has done it again, even with litle brain you can see some major issues with this list. It's great that you post it of course but look at Condemned. "Plans were announced by Monolith Productions to bring Condemned: Criminal Origins to the next-gen consoles. Joystiq claims the title was executed back in September." How come i bought this title on the Xbox 360 launch, played through all of it? I apperently bought a game that isnt real... Oblivion isnt cancelled cause you cant say a game has been cancelled when its not in development, any idiot whould know that... what i am pointing out is that some parts of the article is misleading and if you know how to research to info before posting it, then it whould be alot better.

"Qj.net has done it again..... How come i bought this title on the Xbox 360 launch, played through all of it? I apperently bought a game that isnt real..." Gee, perhaps QJ assumed some of us would actually take the time to look at the link they posted, you know, the one from technophilia. Obviously you haven't checked it out. Under the section "List of Cancelled PS3 Games", they say about Condemed "Here's the full text of what the say about Condemed.

#1 cont.

(dam that submit button :)). Continuing from where I left off... Under the section "List of Cancelled PS3 Games", they say about Condemed.... "According to the original press release, Monolith Productions was planning on bringing Condemned: Criminal Origins to the PC and next-gen consoles. Gamespot has removed their page on the game while IGN's preview page remains. According to this Joystiq article from last September Condemned for PS3 was cancelled."

this guy on drugs

nice post 13. you really have a grip on satirizing 360 fanboys. oh..you mean youre really that stupid?
by - 2006-08-06 04:57:24
Also, #1

If you look again, you'll see that QJ has listed Condemed under the section for PS3 cancelled games, not PS3 and XBox 360. Anyway, I agree with what you said about Oblivion in general, but Technophilia do clarify that a PS3 version was only a rumour, with new rumours suggesting a PS3 version may still arrive in future.

no one reads these articles for "facts" as evidence by Bill G. responding on how he read the forum with anonymous users turned off, yet fails to respond to the 20 others posts with VALID questions about who proofreads this sh|t.

#16 the games only look as good as the developers make it, the fact that it looks the same as the ps2 is their fault for not bothering.
by - 2006-08-06 06:04:46
wow...

i guess posting a link to the article that actually is written better saves the originals poster?

Lol, another IMDb user who believes he's smarter than he really is because he likes "edgier" shows. Atleast I think you were defending that bull*****.. I don't feel like wasting any time trying to decipher such poorly written ignorance.

omfg..

Is this what QJ is coming to. Nerds arguing about tv. I almost feel like going back to Joystiq if it weren't for all the bloggers being Wii humpers.

can some moderator delete all the morons crying about arrested development?

How is he a Nintendo fanboy? Because he's the only one not sucking off either MS or Sony in his post? He's right, too. Fanboys (the pathetic people commenting) of anything are useless.
by - 2006-08-06 07:25:04
yeah its me

Actually i think the Wii will sell more than PS3 & Xbox 360 but i know 360 is a better console than PS3. There is nothing Fanboy about its a fact i loved the PS2 but something tells me even the Playstation Fanboys will learn to hate it. Quality of Quantity!!
by Nohbody - 2006-08-06 07:27:13
Ouch

Thats a pretty big blow to PS3. Those were quite a few games that would have brought in some decent revenue.

To # 4

Dude, Arrested development was a great show, you have very bad taste. To this day i can't find a show thats more clever and funny. Your probably one of the many people who either can't keep track with a plot (Thats why family guy was born for your type) or you need a studio audience to notify when the appropriate moment of laughter should take place.

what a dumb post

Some of those games aren't even cancelled! DUMB ARTICLE

yay

Funny how most of these are American games which I don't care about. As long as it has enough Japanese support, then it's all good. :D.

About Theseis...

Theseis is NOT being developed for any console !!!!! From the home site : http://www.theseisgame.com/about.php "Being created first for PC platform and possibly for next genconsoles." Track7games does not have a single console dev kit, be it PS3 or xbox2. You can not cancel a game on a console, when you only develop it for pc. Who the hell writes all this misinformation?? Does he/she even bothers to check before he/she puts the article online?? Oh, well... The lame need for more hits to the qj site... :(

i was going to comment about the article, but il just let the nerd war die first

why are these games cancelled

most of them dont even give a reason why these games are cancelled, they needed to go a little more into detail as to what was wrong with them, and I am shocked that Double agent is cancelled on the Ps3, not that I planned on getting it for the Ps3 lol but since its suppose to look better and be better I would like to know why, and to the people who say that Ps3 library is gonna own, your right...ITS GONNA OWN YOU AT $80 A GAME FOR A $600 SYSTEM WITH EXTRA USELESS TECHNOLOGY,

You can't deem a game 'cancelled'

if it was never formally announced as a title for that Platform in the first place.
by TheProfessor - 2006-08-06 14:29:45
The list if incorrect and flawed. Author was just trying to spread FUD

It is ultimately and completely flawed. Just read the comments list on Technophilia. Half of them mention how incorrect the list is. Actually out of the list only one title was truly cancelled from the PS3 lineup: Endless Saga Developers note that they thought it wasn't up to the Next Gen Standards and therefore cancelled it. I applaud them for their decision. BTW hundreds of games get canned a year for all consoles. What this author is doing is spreading fear and nothing else. Don’t believe the FUD.

err, wtf?

1st, oblivion was not even done for ps3, but bethesda said they won't tell anything, I suppose they'll do oblivion on ps3 ( anyway I don't care ). anyway: I don't really care if games I never heard more than a showcase video are canclled, I mean, I was not expecting to buy them anyway, I'll buy MGS4, final fantasy 13, DMC4, assassin's creed, half life2 episode 2(and portal looks too good to be true ), genji 2, heavy rain, heavently sword, my singstar(for my sister, chritmas gift), and I'll buy a wii ( maybe ) with dragon quest towers and mirrors and stuff ( lol , hoping it will live up the the serie ), mario galaxy ( looks good the gravity ), red steel, the castlevania on wii ( hoping it's not for 2k8... ), Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles - Crystal Bearers(looking really better than the one on GC ), Resident Evil Wii... and the xbox 360 only have some great titles: gears of war, blue dragon, lost odyssey, niny nine nigths. ( I'd buy the 3 console if I had more money :( )
by - 2006-08-06 16:31:13
i played oblivion

why is oblivion listed under cancelled for xbox 360&ps3? when the 360 version is out? and the same for SC, it is still comming to 360, just no ps3. nice going QJ.
by - 2006-08-06 19:14:35
god

i seriously cant stand these blogs. Most of you are just a bunch of d1ckheads. You know nothing about gaming, most of you dont care about gaming, and the only reason you come on here is to say stuff like "PS3 sucks ass" or "360 is *****" etc etc. WHAT A WASTE OF A LIFE YOU MUST HAVE!! Wow, its really cool and hip to spend my days slagging off a console on an internet site (end sarcasm). If nobody has got anything constructive to say then shut up, go play on the motorway or something. and this whole article is very misleading. One or two where never confirmed for PS3, they where only rumours. Smackdown o7 wasnt cancelled but the date was put back for the ps3 version. It seems people will post anything these days just to start a flame war. Very, very sad
by - 2006-08-07 04:02:00
I wonder...

... where did the 10.000 dev kits go to if everyone cancels his games? I mean, that is quite a number and still you don't hear of too much titles being in development. I personally think that most of them will surface next year so I don't really care about this list as sad as it may be in some cases - especially Elveon and Killing Day.
by - 2006-08-07 08:18:15
Idiots

This is the stupidest news i have seen in a while. Elevon cancelled? Even though a new video has just been released? Post some real news or dont bother.
by KnowLedge - 2006-08-07 08:27:57
ROFL another rumor is spreading thanks to this crappy site

Guys stop flopping, do some RESEARCH before you post CRAP. 1. Never developed for PS3. 2. Not Cancelled, but they hanged it for now. 3. Are you serious? New video was released for PS3. 4. Cancelled all together, but the devs are making new franchise for PS3 - don't know how that's negative. 5. Never announced or made for PS3 :|, it was announced for "next-gen consoles" because of NDA, do some research. 6. NOT CANCELLED, delayed to 2007 cause SONY didn't approve the game in it's current state: DO SOME RESEARCH. 7. NEVER announced for PS3, and never officially cancelled. 8. Based on forum post? I might believe it, but the fact is: THE GAME WAS NEVER ANNOUNCED FOR PS3. 9. NEVER ANNOUNCED FOR PS3, CANCELLED FOR X360. 10. CANCELLED ALL TOGETHER, NEVER ANNOUNCED FOR PS3. 11. NEVER ANNOUNCED FOR PS3, CANCELLED FOR X360. 12. NEVER ANNOUNCED FOR PS3, CANCELLED FOR X360. You guys are floppy idiots that try to save themselves by posting link to the original article. Why should we care about it? You post it here, you're responsible for what you post. Floppy fanboy.
by SteveTao - 2006-08-08 15:19:39
Idiots

Thesis was never comfirmed for the PS3. How hard is that to understand? OMG, MGS4 is cancel for the 360!!! Xbox 360 is doom!!!

Elveon is not cancelled, PS3 slated for 2007

Check it up...
by - 2006-08-09 18:19:30
