TR Military Shooter [XBOX? – Proto Demo]

As games like Call of Duty were really big at the time, in 2005 / 2006 Terminal Reality created a prototype / demo for a military FPS set in Iraq, to pitch it to various publishers. One of these publisher saw the demo and loved it, but said they wanted to make a different game, not a military shooter. That “other” game became the new Ghostbusters which was released in 2009 for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, PS2 and Wii. The military shooter remained just a nice tech demo and never became a full game.

Thanks a lot to Bob for the contribution!

Milo and the Rainbow Nasties [XBOX/PS2/GC – Cancelled]

Milo and the Rainbow Nasties was going to be an action  game / platform in which the player would had to bring the colors back to the world after some weird bugs consumed it all. Originally the game was in development by Warthog Games for the XBOX, Playstation 2 and GameCube, but then it became a Gizmondo exclusive (as it happened with Johnny Whatever), untill its final cancellation. In February 2006, the owners of Warthog, Tiger Telematics, went bankrupt and therefore all their games were cancelled.

The concept of this game was never detailed considering it had a short lifespan, the gist of the plot was the world in which the player was in is overcome with darkness / bug creatures. The player was to clean this world using color, the concept was very similar to Super Mario Sunshine.

NARC is an action game that was developed and published by Midway in 2005, for the Xbox and Playstation 2. A planned Nintendo GameCube version was later cancelled.

Vicente has noticed that in the early screenshots there are various beta differences:

  • The main character models (Marcus and Jack) were changed in the final game
  • The HUD was different
  • Marcus was known as “Hitman” in the beta
  • In a video there’s a chinese talking about the mission, not seen in the final game
