"We're officially excited about The Outsider - despite the fact that it's still a loooong way off yet. Penciled in for '09, Frontier's plans for its all-action freeform thriller are so large it's going to take all that time and more for them to realise its obvious potential. Big cheese David Braben refers to it as the first true open world game, where you genuinely do have freedom of choice over what you do and where you go, how you do it and how you deal with the consequences. More than that, he reckons they've taken their experience in creating classic freeform space adventure Elite and its sequel, watched how Rockstar have set about adding to the template in GTA, and bettered both with The Outsider."
Videogamer: "The last few weeks may have seen South Park: The Stick Of Truth, DriveClub, and Watch Dogs receive delays, but at least those responsible had the decency to tell you. Sometimes we're not that lucky."
some games might be cancelled but the last garduian is not and i think that also agent is still in dev and i hope they take a switch to ps4
I think its more they are going through development hell rather than cancel.
Most games that go through development hell tend to amass a hefty budget. That only result the game needing to sell more copies in order to make an profit.
or maybe the companies are not making these games their main development and making a small amount of people work on it
The Last Guardian will see light of day on the PS4 you can COUNT ON IT!
Frame City Killer = DEAD along with Namco
Sadness = WiiU will arrive but by the name Last Flight and by another Dev team.
The Outsider = No one cares because the Dev team is working on a Much more important game Elite:Dangerous which will go toe to toe with StarCitizen. ANyway The Outsider may see light of day on the XB1/PS4/PC but ONLY AFTER Elite:Dangerous!
Agent = will see light of Day as a PS4 Exclusive now that Metal Gear Solid is multiplat Sony wants another Exclusive Stealth game and Agent will fill that void.
One problem though, Rockstar North is very busy. They got GTAV PC and DLC to do plus Red Dead Redemption 2, maybe Bully 3, plus L.A. Noire 2 and GTAVI. Yes i know other Rockstar studios are the leads in some of these games but Rockstar North are the GO TO GUYS.
Agent went from PS3 exclusive to PS3/X360 game back to PS3 Exclusive to NO way a Dev team would waste time trying to pump out a PS3 game with PS4 on the shelf.
Other Games: Prey 2 - still in Development most likely will see XB1/PS4
STALKER 2 OMG if Sergie wasn't such an idiot people would work for him but as is STALKER 2 has no funds and no Dev team. Get those two things and we may see the ZONE again. Other than that Survarium made by the Original STALKER team is the next best thing.
The Last Guardian and Agent are coming. THEY HAVE TO....they have to. Lol I'm blindly speculating: VGAs or E3.
"5 Games That May Be *Delayed* Forever"
*lists 3 games that have been confirmed cancelled for years*
Great work videogamer.com
Gamers tend to get more excited about the titles they're promised for the future than the ones that are actually available for purchase right now. This leads to a lot of heartbreak, since many of the most groundbreaking games get stuck in development limbo for years, or never get released at all.
Granted, there's no guarantee that any of these games would have been good (see: Duke Nukem Forever), but they're all intriguing as hell, which makes it that much sadder that they seem to be dead in the water.
well I lost hope for this game, but i'll get excited again when they show us something at TGS
the developer already confirmed at E3 after Jack Tretton said the game was on hiatus that it was still in active development and that they just weren't ready to reintroduce the game yet.

" "The game is in active development. [Lead designer Fumito] Ueda-san shared updates a few months ago. Nothing has changed. My answer is, 'Yes, the game is in active development.' It’s not hiatus at all. But we are not ready to reintroduce it. When we are ready, we will do that. Please wait."
So I would guess it will either be reannounced at Gamescon or TGS as a PS4 title.
If team ico is making any game I better be BLOWN out of my mind.it's been a long time since their last game.
I really hope Star Wars 1313 comes out it looked really good from what they showed it was like Uncharted but in space. Not sure why I've never heard of TimeO it has a very interesting concept.
AGENT anyone?
Not trying to be smart but I was really excited for a Rockstar PS3/4 exclusive. Would like to know where the hell that went.
If no one has played them, how do people know that these games are "incredible"? Just by looking at graphics? I've seen some $hitty games with awesome graphics. Even if you may have seen gameplay footage, who knows if these games have outright stupid endings like mass effect 3?
Calling these games anything other than plainly 'interesting' is just hype.
Joystiq: Frontier Developments may have put the kibosh on continued development of its open-world action title, The Outsider, but that doesn't mean footage of the game isn't out there. Ex-Frontier sound engineer Kyle Nichol wrangled some of that footage and posted it up on his portfolio site, showcasing the first bit of in-game action that we've seen from the stalled project.
Finally, I though this game was cancelled or something. It's been more than a year. Glad to hear a great dev back in action. Hope these are not empty promises and this game is indeed the next step for open world games.
