The Games That Got Away

[Aragorn]

The original Rising concept is very doable with modern tech. I would not be surprised if Konami comes back to it at some point; although at this point MGR has cultivated a very different kind of fanbase so dialing back on the action cheese in favour of typical MGS midquel drivel in a stealth centric experience might not be as tantalizing as it was in circa 2011.

As for Half Life 3, I don't think Valve will ever make another game again. They're a very different kind of business now.

One that I think about quite often is the original concept for Prey. The bounty hunter build.

There seems to be a running theme with bounty hunter centric games going no where. The infamous Star Wars 1313 comes to mind.
