Faith and a .45 was an action game developed by Deadline Games for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The story would have follow a couple named Luke and Ruby, two outlaws during the Great Depression. The gameplay should have been similar to a cover-based third-person shooter (as Gears of War or Army of Two) in particular with the dual-character dynamic, with online and offline co-op. [Infos from Wikipedia]
Sadly they were not able to find a publisher interested in the project, so Faith and a .45 had to be put on hold and probably we’ll never be able to play it.
As noted by NeXuSDK on the NeoGAF forum, Deadline Games had a lot of troubles selling the game concept to publishers:
Initially, Faith and a .45 was set in a post-apocalyptic setting ala Fallout, which publishers didn’t see value… now look at Fallout. Then they changed the theme to something Bonnie & Clyde inspired, set in the era of the great depression and still developers could not see the potential.
Thanks to Robert Seddon for the contribution!

This would have been a great game to compete with the already released game, “WET.”
So many great ideas are out there, but not too many of them get the “green light.” However, on the one hand, if this game were to be released, based on what I’ve seen, it would have been better than Blue Omega’s “Damnation,” which was a total flop from the beginning.

Sadly most of the time original games are the ones more in danger to be cancelled. I’m sorry about the Damnation flop, it looked nice enough, but probably gamers dont care too much for action games if they are not part of a popular series or developed by a popular team :(
