Seed [PC – Cancelled]

Seed is a cancelled FPS that was in development in 1998 by Human Soft, a team from Hungary. The particularity of this game was the colorful lighting engine, as you can see from the screenshots below, some of which were found by derboo in PowerPlay magazine 7/1998. Seed was proposed to be a new action game that aimed to blend the gameplay of a first person shooter with the action approach of a console title. In the end it seems that Human Soft were not able to find a publisher interested in their project and Seed remained unfinished.

A beta demo was released online and you can download it at File Planet. Thanks a lot to Solaris for the videos!

Schwarzenberg [X360/PS3/PC – Cancelled]

Schwarzenberg is a cancelled third person shooter that was in development by Radon Labs in 2005, for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.  The game was set in World War II when the Third Reich was collapsing: Schwarzenberg was the name of a Nazi stronghold, a storage of plundered treasure beyond imagination and secret weapon projects. After the project was announced, it soon vanished without traces: maybe Radon Labs did not find a publisher interested in the game.

4th Battalion [PC – Cancelled]

4th Battalion is a cancelled Action RPG that was in development by russian studio GFI Russia (MiST land). The game was announced in August 2005 and it was planned as a prequel to Paradise Cracked / Access Code: PARADISE.  4th Battalion’s script started 20 years before the events of “Access Code” on-ridden civil war Mars. The game’s protagonist was meant to be a representative of the Earth and the only hope for restoring order on Mars. The main mission in 4th Battalion was to establish new stability on Mars. As we can read in an old press release:

  • Up-to-date graphics, using all the power of modern video chips.
  • The most realistic physics and dynamics.
  • Real lighting and spectacular special effects.
  • Huge and fully interactive world.
  • Complex and non-linear plot.
  • Advanced Dialogue System.
  • Ability to drive more than 30 kinds of vehicles, from light sand-buggy to heavy assault walking-tank.
  • Huge list of available weapons and equipment.
  • Unlimited possibilities to improve your character.
  • You will be able to fully modify and upgrade vehicles for any purpose.
  • Massive dynamic battles with thousands of units.
  • Ability to create your own army.

In the end the game was never released, maybe because they did not find a publisher interested in the project.
