New Cancelled Games & Their Lost Media Added to the Archive

God of War 3 is currently in development for the PlayStation 3 and it should be published sometime in 2010. At the CGSociety website there’s an interesting article about the game, in which SCEA Art Director Ken Feldman revealed that they though about making GoW3 a first person shooter:

“I tried unsuccessfully to convince Stig to make ‘God of War III’ a first-person shooter. Kratos could have some truly badass huge weapons that rip gods to shreds. Unfortunately he didn’t see the genius in the idea.”

Really? It sounds like a joke, but who knows? We had 3 Metroid games in first person view after all..

Motocross Challenge is a racing game somehow similar to Excitebike that was in development by DHG Games for the Nintendo DS. The project originally started as a Gameboy Advance game, but after Motocross Challenge GBA was cancelled, it evolved into a DS game that should have been released in 2009. After some months the official DHG Games website went down without any explanations and the DS version was cancelled too. As the developers shared the GBA version online to let the fans to play it even if it was never published, it could be possible that in the future they will leak the DS version too.

In April 2010 Motocross Challenge was finally released for the iPhone / iPod Touch, so at least it was not lost at all! You can see some videos of the iPhone version in DHGames’ YT Channel or buy Motocross Challenge from the iTunes Store (only $0.99!)

Set in a post-apocalyptic environment, the original Powerslide was a racing game developed by Ratbag Games and released for the PC on December 1998. In 2003 Ratbag were working on a (self-funded) sequel, know as Powerslide: Slipstream, but the project was canceled because they were not able to find a publisher interested in the game.

As we can read in the original press release, “Powerslide: Slipstream featured drive-anywhere environments full of jumps and action across twelve post-apocalyptic environments, including Berlin, Los Angeles, London and Sydney. Wheel-to-wheel collisions promise spectacular accidents, with special animated features on the vehicles, including moving fins and stream vents for slipstream mode.”

From the Mortal Kombat Secrets website we can read about many differences in the beta builds of the game, such as early character select screen, a removed red carpet in “The Bank” stage and a removed sub-boss with two big hammers. Sektor’s original name was “ketchup”, Cyrax’s original names were “mustard” and even “Robocop” at one point, Sindel was known as “Muchacha” and Kabal’s working name was “Sandman”.

Kurtis Stryker was supposed to appear in MK1 but it was removed, then in MK2 but it was changed into Jax. Only in MK3 Kurtis Stryker made its final appearance in the series. You can find out more about the MK3 beta at Mortal Kombat Secrets!
