GameSpot has published a new feature entitled "Heartbreakers", in which they detail a handful of games that have been cancelled over the past several years. Included in the list are Black Isle's TORN, Fallout 3, and Baldur's Gate III, as well as Origin's Ultima X: Odyssey. A snip about TORN for those of you who remember it:
When I was discussing the idea of a feature about heartbreaking game cancellations with Carrie, Black Isle's Torn was the first game I thought of, and maybe not even so much for the game itself (I'll explain why in a bit). Torn was supposed to have been an "alternate-medieval" fantasy game that used the "SPECIAL" character development system that the studio first used in its classic 1997 role-playing game, Fallout. You would have gone on an adventure through a fantastic world populated by the elves and dwarves you might expect from this kind of game, but these characters would have had different motivations and roles; in fact, an entire alternate creation theory had been devised for the world.
