Omikron 2 Exodus was meant to be a sequel for Ps2 and Dreamcast of the game Omikron: The Nomad Soul. The title was later changed to “Omikron 2 Karma” and the development was moved to XBOX 360 and PS3. There are not many informations about the project, but thanks to the Omikron Game Blog we can finally see some concept arts and read more about the game!

A platform game with Tiny Toon characters, in development for the Jaguar but later cancelled. It seems that a beta-demo of this game was leaked some time ago. In 2006, Atariboy has posted on the Toon Zone Forum some images and sprites from this game, that were found on the official site of the developers.
Thanks to MathUser for some of these scans!

In the Youtube Channel of Cshit87 we can see a couple of interesting videos about some beta characters that have been found still in the game code.
Darkel
Darkel is a character dropped during the development of Grand Theft Auto III. Little is known about the character, except that he was to be a revolutionary urchin who vowed to bring down the city’s economy. One mission involved stealing an ice cream van, using it to attract pedestrians, then blowing it up. This mission was given by El Burro in the final version of game, to kill a group of gang members. Darkel was also originally expected to give out Rampage-esque missions.
Darkel had his voice recorded for this part by Bill Fiore, but was never used in game. However, the character remains listed in GTA III’s manual’s credits, as well as having a character texture retained in the game’s data files. The official GTA III website suggests that Darkel was to reside in the Harbour Tunnel that runs underneath a portion of Portland. [Info from Wikipedia]
Novy
Who’s Novy? Novy was the original protagonist before Claude. But just like Darkel, novy was dropped out of the final version. He was discovered and put in-game by Ka-Boom.

Old beta footages
A cancelled FPS game for the Nintendo 64, with animal-robots. Jungle Bots was meant to be published by Titus and developed by Conceptual Realities / Navigator Entertainment. It seems that the game was never completed and was canceled in mid-development by Titus. The development was pretty tricky, the polygon and texture budgets were extremely limited due to the cartridge format and the target ROM size was only 32 MB. The company that was working on the game had never made a game before and previously they had only designed and built theme park attractions. The staff wasn’t really prepared for the game making process and some wrong decisions by management ultimately caused the company to have to shut down and the entire staff was laid off.
Thanks a lot to gilgamesh for these screens and informations and to Vaettur for the logo!
