Vexx is a game developed by Acclaim for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube and released in 2003.  Thanks to the Vexx Fan Club on Deviant Art we found some interesting infos and concept arts from it’s development : “Vexx wasn’t supposed to start like a single hero, it was supposed for the game to be a hero/sidekick thing, just like “Ratchet & Clank” or “Jak & Daxter”; their names were supposed to be “Clip & Mischief” then the previous idea was discarded and give space for the single hero idea, deducing that it was at that moment which appeared the idea of the hero with gloves, seeking for revenge. However, the main character had another name: “Jinx” or “Jinxed”.

Some unused / beta music from the game can be downloaded from here.

Project Snowblind 2 [XBOX/PS2 – Cancelled]

The first Project: Snowblind was a FPS released for the Xbox and PlayStation 2 in 2005. It was originally conceived as a multiplayer-focused third game in the Deus Ex series, Deus Ex: Clan Wars. But after the less than expected commercial performance of Deus Ex: Invisible War, it was decided to set the game in its own universe. Nevertheless, it remains a spiritual sequel to Deus Ex and retains many visible and conceptual links to its progenitors. [Infos from Wikipedia]

The sequel, Project Snowblind 2, was in development at Crystal Dynamics, but it was later cancelled for unknow reasons (maybe for the low-sales of the first game?). The game was set in a city many years after a devastating invasion force had reduced it to a post-apocalyptic state. Only few concept arts remain for this project.
