Gears of War: Exile is a cancelled game that was planned for the Xbox 360, to be played with the Kinect. Originally meant to be announced at E3 2011, although no such appearence was made that year. There is no information about GoW: Exile, although rumors speculate it would be on an on-rail Kinect game. Some test footage was shown, in which people used the Kinect to act out a scene from Gears 2 (does anyone have a video of this?).

A brief quote from Cliff:

“Let’s just bury the hatchet now, Gears of War: Exile was an unannounced game that I can’t give any details about that has since been cancelled.”

While there is no information about the game, the game’s logo has surfaced proving the game was indeed being developed.

As we can read on Wikipedia, Super Turrican was developed by Factor 5 and published by Seika for the Super Nintendo. Factor 5’s Super Turrican plays similarly to Mega Turrican and shares a similar visual style, but the game has a different set of levels and features a freeze beam in place of the original lightning whip. DEC noticed some reference about the beta version of Super Turrican on the Factor 5 web site (http://www.factor5.de/secrets_super_turrican.shtml) and several other web site relay this information when the already known version was planned to the Wii virtual console.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (GRAW 2) is a shooter developed by High Voltage Software and published for the PSP in 2007. Edward Kirk found out that in the final game there are still some unused options that are usually hidden.

This game contains a number of debug options and a level select which, when enabled, turn it into a “Pre-Certification” version. The released game contains a file called Game-txt, which can be edited to enable the debug menu and other options used to test a game.

The debug has a number of different options which affect the game, such as …

… wireframe mode. Although the Game.txt file does identify the enabling of cheats, the features found so far are definitely for debugging and testing, rather than just making it easier to get through the game.

Star Wars: Battlefront is an action game developed by Pandemic Studios and LucasArts, and released on September 2004 for PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC. Development for Star Wars Battlefront began at Pandemic Studios in 2002. Greg Burrod, executive producer on Battlefront stated “We wanted to create an online shooter title for the Xbox, PS2, and PC which would allow for team strategy and would feature battles and worlds from every one of the six Star Wars films.”

A beta version of Battlefront was released as an extras DVD for one of the trilogy sets. It’s quite interesting and has a lot of ideas that were not in the final version. The build date is February 03 2004, 8 months before the final version was released. Also, the HUD was different and the graphic was still unfinished.

Stranno posted a video and some comparison-screens between the beta and the final version on the Assembler Games Forum!

“Odema and the magic book” is a cancelled 2D sidescrolling action / platform game that was in development by french team Namdoo for the Gameboy Advance. From the video below we can see that Odema was going to be somehow similar to a “kiddy Metal Slug”, with 7 huge worlds with multiple pathes, more than 30 different enemies and 14 Bosses. Namdoo managed to create a playable beta version in 4 MegaBytes only, everything was packed on the cartridge and unpacked on the fly, at 60 frames per second, but there was still no sound or sfx. The game was about 75% complete when they had to cancel it.

Thanks a lot to Collect-Thor for the contribution!
