They attempted to adapt their tabletop ruleset, Champions: The Super Role-Playing Game, into a full fledged CRPG, that allowed you to customize your spandex and everything.
Why there are no super-hero RPGs? Hero Games tried to answer that in 1992… and never made it. The Wasteland 2 team announced that they are working on a new RPG, and I want to bully them into making it Meantime. The game also the reason I decided to compile this list. We put a year to a year and a half into Meantime, and I still love the idea, but it just didn’t get the momentum and we ended up killing the project.” Let’s do a time-travel sort of game.” Of course, this all really hurt our brains because when you start thinking about cause and effect, and you’re traveling backwards and forwards in time, your head starts exploding. “I’d already had all the tools and systems in place to do something skill-based, top-down, tactical. The game would involve time-travel and feature both historical characters such as Albert Einstein and Amelia Earhart, as well as fictional ones:įargo spoke more about it in a recent interview: EA had the Wastelandtrademark and went on to make the horrible Fountain of Dreams, but Brian Fargo & Interplay had a plan of their own – titled Meantime.
Wasteland was a big hit back in 1988, so a sequel was the next logical step. And a small tribute to those that worked so hard on a game that never saw the light of day. Thus, this isn’t an absolute list, nor a best-of rank., but rather a collection of some of the most interesting ones that we know about. Most of them go silently into the night, with developers spending years of their lives without the audience ever seeing their work or being aware it existed. The list goes on and on and on… and those are the ones we know about. And even fan projects, such the recently canceled Project Vaulderie - a remake of VtM: Bloodlines. Plus all the countless kickstarter projects that never made it, including Guido Henkel’s Deathfire. There are also canceled MMORPGs, such as Ultima Online 2, Shenmue Online, Blizzard’s Titan, the World of Darkness MMO and Fallout Online/Project V13. Restricting ourselves to CRPGs, there are numerous titles such as D eus Ex: Insurrection and Deus Ex 3, Alpha Protocol 2, Betrayal at Krondor’s original sequel Thief of Dreams, Arcanum 2, Black Isle’s Torn, Ascendant, Armalion, Stonekeep 2, Cyclopean, Tannhauser Gate, Whichwood, Lord of the Rings: The White Council, etc… Talking about canceled games is a hard thing… there’s little concrete information, a lot of rumors and, sadly, there are way more canceled games than I can ever hope to address here.
