Carrier 2: The Next Mutation [PS2 – Cancelled]

Carrier is a cult-classic survival-horror game developed for the Dreamcast. Many fans  wanted a sequel to this game. A sequel, called Carrier: The Next Mutation was being developed  for the Playstation 2. The game, being developed by Jaleco, was sadly never released. Jaleco was  known for the popular arcade series, Bases Loaded.  Like many survival- horror games at the time, Carrier had tank controls, and limited  supplies found throughout the game. The game also used prerendered backgrounds to spice up  gameplay. The game also supplied your character with a pair of special goggles: these goggles  would be used to identify NPCs. The story was similar to many survival- horror games at the time: it would follow two government agents inspecting an aircraft that got disconnecting from  the mainland.  This game was going to be released in early 2001. Sadly, how much of the game that  was completed was never official stated. Even though the predecessor had a place in many fans  hearts, it would overshadow by games such as Resident Evil at the time. This is the reason many  fans believe why this game was sadly cancelled.  We can say that Jaleco is now a dead company, the company was considered  inactive since 2013. A name changed for the company occurred in 2006, and mostly produced  japanese cellphone games. While looking around, it seems Jaleco was delisted from JASDAQ  Securites in 2013. Also, the parent company went bankrupt in 2014.

Vectorman [PS2 – Cancelled]

vectorman3dlogo.jpg

A Vectorman game for the Sony PlayStation 2 was in development by Pseudo Interactive, but it was soon cancelled for unknown reasons. According to initial reports, it was to have been vastly dissimilar to the 16-bit games. This project was interesting because it had full destructible environment and a grappling hook similar to the one used in Just Cause 2.

Joseph was able to test an early build of Vectorman PS2 and shared some interesting info:

I play-tested this game for Pseudo Interactive before it got cancelled. I had never heard of Vectorman at the time, so I wasn’t comparing it to a game that already existed. But what I found was: the physics engine was awesome, and the AI was incredible. At the time, I had never seen a game where some AI will hide behind walls, others will run and gun you, a couple will try to sneak around to flank you… the AI programming was simply amazing, and it was all done by one guy.

What I did NOT like about the game was how confusing I found it to figure out where I was supposed to go next. But this was probably because it was in the alpha stage and the texturing wasn’t done yet.

ProgrammingAce has posted some good quality screenshots from the Vectorman PS2 project on the GamerHistory Forum, you can check them all in here!

Thanks to Martin and MicroChirp for the contribution!

Thanks a lot to Frank Trzcinski for his help in preserving some concept arts created for this lost project!
