Man I was so hyped for the original concept for I Am Alive. Love this trailer:

What are some other games that changed drastically mid-development?
Was that game even released? Was it cancelled?
I haven't heard about it since that trailer.

They scrapped it mid-development and moved it to a smaller team. I think it wasn't even released on disc, only digitally on consoles.

It was, it turned into a black and white lite game. Wasn't too bad...

Jesus christ
The Stalker tech demos blew everyone's mind back in 2003
but when the game finally released in 2008 none of it was still in the game and it ran like shit even on decent pcs.
It was a buggy mess and fans tried to delude themselves by saying "b-but it's so immersive" and "i-it's not bugged, it's challenging".
It's not terrible but still just a shadow of what it was supposed to be.

Got some links to the 2003 stuff anon?
>>331415420
Oh yeah I vageuly remember that. Weren't you supposed to be able to drive cars in the first versions?
>The Sonic '06 tech demo shown at E3
>Actually still the same
In the sense that the visuals basically stayed the same and nothing else was added

But yeah, proper physics, cars, being able to hit something with a pistol from more than two meters away ...

The first one was initially an SNES game with co-op and generic Euro-platformer graphics, The Great Escape started out as a 2D game like the first one but with a more Donkey Kong Country-esque render look, Rayman Raving Rabbids was once Rayman 4, a platformer instead of a minigame collection, Origins was supposed to be, well, an origin story instead of whatever the fuck the story of the final game was and so on.
>>331414896
It was a fun little game.
>>331417158
huh no shit
anything from the original Origins was released?
>>331414793
I remember seeing this trailer and getting hyped as fuck, and then I somehow forgot the whole thing. For some reason I thought The Last of Us was this game.

I'm with you, watched the trailer from a DVD of my favorite printed vidya mag, there was also one where a shack full of bandits got wiped out one by one by the marked one which implied some kind of amazing AI that was communicating like the one in FEAR, turned out to be bullshit.

Only the first trailer that shows how Betilla created him and a scrapped nymph.
E3 2001 trailer still looks fucking amazing and makes me want to play some Douk again. It seems to have everything that made old school first person shooters fun

The final product is just reskinned Call of Duty

You didn't actually play I Am Alive then. Hell, I don't think you played TLOU either, or followed the development because it was pretty much what it was expected to be

Funny how people still claim that the E3 2001 version would've been a great game when most of what was shown were scripted cutscenes, vehicle sections and turret sections - everything that's wrong with modern FPS games.
>Aliens: Colonial Marines
>started development in 2001
>lost in development hell for years
>was restarted again in 2006
>supposedly a classic FPS style game like AvP and AvP 2
>modern military shootans happened and Gearbox decided to cash in on those
>push out trailers and screenshots of A:CM with scenarios and graphics that are impossible in the actual game engine
>final product was a lame modern military shootan with lots of scipted events and none of the fun that was promised
I'm still pissed off about this. It could've had been the greatest action game ever, but they just had to cater to the CoD babbies and look what happened. The colonial marine campaigns in AvP and AvP 2 are near perfect, all they needed was to extend from those and apply modern graphics. Hell, even AvP 3 had a pretty good marine campaign.

After an EA focus group made up of literal children thought it was "too childish" it was remade into the generic brown'n'bloom shooter Fuse.This is the real reason I hate EA.

Oh wow, this game came out?
Borderlands before it ripped off its artstyle from an MTV cartoon.

Looks like an horrible meme game to me.
