Agent is a cancelled action adventure that was in development at Ensemble Studios before their closure, probably in the works for the Xbox 360 and PC. The project was revealed in an article about the “last visit” at the studios by Gamasutra, in which they were able to check some of Ensemble’s lost projects. Agent had an art style inspired by Pixar’s The Incredibles and it seems that the gameplay could have been similar to Tomb Raider. On September 9, 2008, it was officially announced that Ensemble would be closing after the release of Halo Wars and Agent vanished forever with them.

Fuel is a racing game developed by Asobi Studio for Playstaion 3 and Xbox 360, published by Codemasters in 2009. The project originally started in 2005 as a different game known as “Grand Raid Offroad”, which was used as a tech demo to build on the final version. We are not sure about the general differences between “Grand Raid Offroad” and “Fuel”, if you played the game and can notice some changes in this early screens, please let us know!

Cops: The Police Experience is a cancelled action game that was in development at Pyro Studios from 2003 (early concepts and prototype) to 2008, that would have been  published for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. As we can read on Anait Games, in december 2008 the studio laid off 30 employees just before the xmas holiday and the Cops project was officially canned. With the cancellation of Cops, Pyro Studios was then able to concentrated their resources on the “Planet 51” game, based on the the animated film created by Illion Studios and planned to be published by Sega  in winter 2009.

Another rumored cancelled Pyro project was known as “InZero” but it’s currently unknown if the 2 projects were somewhat related.

Guitar Hero 3 was developed by Neversoft and published by Activision and RedOctane. It is the third main installment in the Guitar Hero series, and the fourth title overall. The game was released for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360 in October 2007. [Info from Wikipedia]

Dirty Harry noticed that in early videos of the game there are some notable differences:

  • In the final, there is no 1x combo. When no combo is earned the amp is blank, only showing 2x, 3x, and 4x combos.
  • All of the combos are orange. In the final the 2x is orange, the 3x is green and the 4x is pink.
  • The frets at the bottom look more like they do in Guitar Hero II in the beta.
  • The ‘Star Power Ready’ message is much more bland and less exciting than in the final.
  • There is no lightning effect when you get star power.

Thanks to Dirty Harry and Jason for the contribution!

As reported before, Big Huge Games was working on a new, THQ-published RPG for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. When THQ was hit by financial troubles, Big Huge Games was sold to 38 Studios where it seems that they still work on Ken Rolston’s new “masterpiece”. It’s currently unknown if this game will ever be released.
