Your Favourite Vaporware Game


Recommended Posts

As a gamer, I think it's safe to say that I've been sucked into the marketing of most game releases (most recently, Half Life 2). But are there any other gamers out there who have had their dream game put on "permanent" hold?

I was reading through some of my old PC Gamer magazines and I saw a full page spread on Prey. Anyone remember Prey? At the time, it was my dream game - Quake with cooler graphics (I think the first to feature coloured lighting), monsters, and guns - and me with a new Voodoo card :D Then, it was delayed.... and delayed.... and delayed. Then, once they had delayed the game beyond belief, I heard it was cancelled. It was a sad day. And thus goes the story of my favourite game that never was :no:

Anyone else? I imagine Duke Nukem Forever is one :blink:

EDIT> Apparently you can buy the (non-existent) Prey here: Prey for Sale

HL2 is only few months late on their initial announcement. That doesnt qualify it for Vaporware, especially since the source code leak. DNF is a different case...

Games like HL2 and D3 aren't vapor, pretty much every game gets delayed. Not sure if anyone was claiming HL2 was, mind.

Mine would be Republic. That looked so bitchen but it was delayed over and over. However, it did eventually get released and it turned out it was crap. Ah well.
