A cancelled game that was in development by 3DO for the Playstation 2, but not many infos are available. From the few screens it seems that Big Freakin Monsters’s gameplay was going to be similar to the Rampage series, in which players take control of gigantic monsters trying to survive against onslaughts of military forces. Each round is completed when a particular city is completely reduced to rubble.

It was later confirmed that the company had gone into administration, leaving 40 of the original 185 staff still employed, but the future of Time Splitters 4 has become uncertain and maybe it will never be finished and released. The studio was bought by Crytek, the developers behind the Crysis series and Free Radical have changed their name to Crytek UK. It’s currently unknow if TS4 could ever be finished and released by Crytek. [Infos from Wikipedia]

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.
