Playstation 2 (PS2)

Cold Fear is a 3rd person shooter horror title developed for the PS2, Xbox, and PC. Developed by DarkWorks, published by Ubisoft and released in 2005.

Development:

Cold Fear didn’t start as a horror title, based on information and speculation, darkworks was working on several new projects with several publishing and developing houses. In 2003 when DarkWorks was working with Capcom thier project: Lost Mantis/USS Antarctica was canned. In 2004 DarkWorks worked with Namco U.S. on a new title. The game was Time Crysis Adventure. However the game, much like Lost Mantis, was canned, but not before Ubisoft stepped in and took over the project. TC: Adventure evolved into the game Cold Fear. There are several Concept Art images that remain of Time Crysis: Adventure. You can view the Concept Art below:

Alpha Stage:

Prior to the games release Cold Fear orignally looked more detailed and gritty. The enviroments showcased in these screenshots are different in the final version – similar but different. The main chracter in this build was not from the USCG (United States Coast Guard) but part of the Navy Seals and was involved in the operation that invaded the russian ship at the begining of the game.

Tom Hansen Background

In the alpha build, Tom Hansen was a 29 year old captain of the navy seals – he wasn’t part of the USCG (United States Coast Guard). It can be assumed that – much like the final version – the navy seals was wiped out. Making Tom Hansen the last survivor on the russian ship. It’s possible that Tom was the leader of that Navy Seal group.

Scooty Racers is a cancelled racing game that was in development for the Xbox and Playstation 2. Rapallo (Italy) based publisher and developer Trecision announced in 2001 that it was working on this arcade racer for next generation consoles. In the game, players race agile scooters through large free-roaming environments depicted using a cel-shaded graphical style. For the project Ivan Del Duca from Milestone ( known software house specialized in racing games ) and Rick Gush from Westwood were hired by the italian company. In the later stages the game was adapted to the Popeye license and renamed Popeye: Hush Rush for the Spinach however all the efforts were wasted when Cryo, the french publisher, closed doors in 2002.

Trecision got back the full rights over the game however, the closure of Cryo hit Trecision heavily, as the shareholders decided not to sustain the company anymore. Trecision filed for voluntary liquidation in July 2003.

Renegade Zero is a cancelled action game / third person shooter that was in development in 2001 by Cinematix Studios for the Playstation 2 and PC. We can read some more info in an old press release:

They hired the six most notorious bounty hunters in the galaxy to find “Renegade Zero”, an outlaw so dangerous that only a few people in the galaxy know of his existence. But with this kind of a job, you’ve got to watch your employers, and your partners, or you’ll be taking one in the back.
Renegade Zero is an action adventure shooter for the PC, Mac Playstation 2 featuring dynamic changing gameplay, fast action, a deep storyline, exploration, and adventure. Renegade Zero introduces a new level of realism and detail to it’s visual design and artwork, and expressive 3D characters with unmatched realism.

Cinematix was working on 3 games in 2001 / 2002, but they had to close down after a while, maybe for the lack of a publisher interested in their projects. Renegade Zero, Hirelings and Tankers: Smoking Barrels were all cancelled and vanished with the closure of the studio.
