you didn't seem aware of this, but that Snake Pliskins escape game, the footage shown was a direct copy and paste of the very first "Dead to Rights" game which was also made by Namco, so either that footage was a lazy fake or the devs used an already finished game to use as a placeholder.

@@onaretrotip it depends, Dead to Rights released in 2002, so its hard to say what kind of behind the scenes shenanigans happened, it could be a Journey to Silius situation but considering the footage with pliskin is just him with all the DtR assets looking complete, I think its more likely they slapped a pliskin skin onto that game as a proof of concept demo, or the footage you found is a hoax and the game doesn't really have footage available to the public.

@@Gojiro7 There's no way it's a hoax. I mean, it's not hard to look up more info on the game and see other assets and media for it.* ======= * - like Eurogamer's piece on it: www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-09-28-witness-what-namcos-canned-snake-plissken-game-looked-like Places like Shacknews and Kotaku also have pieces on it, but they just have the same trailer as Eurogamer unseen64 has more screenshots and all videos though: www.unseen64.net/2009/09/16/snake-plissken-chronicles-ps2-xbox-cancelled/ ======= I think you're much closer to the "slapping a skin on DtR for a proof of concept" thing, though it's more likely they were probably just already building the game - no proof of concept needed. Namco Hometek already had the Snake Plissken license after all. It makes sense from a development standpoint to get to prototyping and designing _as soon as possible,_ and if you have your proprietary engine - and an asset library - up and running, you can get right to it and save a LOT of time. Just start working on levels and game mechanics with pre-existing stuff, then modify and swap out with finished assets/textures/animations/UI elements as development continues. Considering Escape was in development and canned around 2005, _after_ Namco Hometek put out Kill.Switch with Dead to Rights, its very likely they'd have all that stuff and be using all that work they did for previous games to get development going on the Snake Plissken game quickly. I think you're right on the mark with the "devs used an already finished game to use as a placeholder" Plus, if the gameplay footage shown here was just meant for internal stuff (progress/milestone checks? Backing up development builds?), it even makes sense that it would look like this... though on the trailer from Eurogamer/Shacknews/Kotaku, the UI is different at least, and I believe a unique level, so _that_ trailer footage was likely pulled from a later build. Still, the point is, it was never officially announced - all this media was leaked way after the fact. No footage was meant for us to see, and in the case of what Pete showed off, it was probably not meant for us to see precisely _because_ it still shows off just *how much* of it was gonna be built off of DtR :) ======== ​ @onaretrotip And y'know Pete, considering it was being made around 2005, I would assume something that contributed to the game getting canned was because of the generational shift - the Xbox 360 came out at the end of 2005 after all. This Namco studio never did put out a game on HD consoles - the PS3/360 Dead to Rights was done later, by Blitz Games in the UK. Snake Plissken seems like one of those projects that would've been more at home on a 360/PS3, but that team didn't seem like they could put out an HD game on those platforms at the time for whatever reason. Y'know: hardware/production pipeline transition struggles.

You heard of the RC Racer, Re-Volt? The game was released on several systems (PC, PS1, N64, DC, Mobile), but it's originally going to have an XBox port, and a GBC version, too. The Xbox version plays the same as the PC version, but with some minor enhancements, and it holds the accolade as the very first Xbox game to feature live support & voice chat. The GBC version was very elusive, until me & the boys at the Re-Volt Discord discovered AsobiTech, who actually worked on the port, and glad to show screenshots. Apparently, the GBC port was later reused & reskinned as a couple unlicensed games by Datel, which are ATV Racing & Race Time.

Man oh man, there's a ton of stuff here that looked so promising! Why did stuff like _Drake of the 99 Dragons_ actually come out when stuff like these couldn't? Sad. This was super long too! I'm surprised you didn't just do, like, 15 in this go and then revisit it with another entry 15 games later, etc. You went a little crazy with this one, lol. A LOT of cool games to take in here. Some I've seen before, a lot I haven't though, but one thing's for sure, I love that they look "distinctly Xbox," y'know? I don't know what it was about the generation - maybe it was because the OG Xbox had a more western slant being the US machine versus Japan's PS2, or maybe it was the more PC-focused slant towards developers, maybe it was just the views on what late 90's/early 2000's Microsoft thought was cool -- but the Xbox always had a darker, edgier, ostensibly more mature vibe to its library, with *a lot* of hard sci-fi. You can see that in their original "Raven" tech demo, and with games like _Halo_ (obviously) and its stablemates _MechAssault & Brute Force._ Looking outside of that, you still got stuff like _Doom 3, Gunvalkyrie, Advent Rising, Crimson Sea, Unreal Championship 2_ or _Dino Crisis 3._ Even the cartoony games were edgier on Xbox; _Conker, Fuzion Frenzy, Cel Damage, Oddworld, Whacked, etc._ Yeah, the XBox was *the* place for darker, more violent games back then and all - or _a lot of_ (maybe not so much _Johnny Drama,_ lol) - these seem to fit into that niche really nicely. Hell, I distinctly remember seeing games like _Duality_ and _Black9_ previewed in magazines & demo discs and those also helping to influence/cement the Xbox's image back then. That's kinda crazy that cancelled games could do that, and I'm sure previews of _Kehl: Fury Unbound, Y Project, A.I. Circuit, Technomancer_ and _Vultures_ still added something to the console's reputation for people reading about them at the time. I would've really loved to see _Black9, Duality_ and _Kehl_ come out, man... I miss it. I miss the XBox having that distinct personality and library of games with a certain "flavor." Hopefully the Xbox Series X/Scarlet (boy, do I not like that name. How do you refer to it as a singular?) will host some exclusive games that will help re-establish some kind of unique personality for Microsoft's game machine...
