They would've had a more serious tone than both Perfect Dark Zero and the original N64 title, and would have been securely based in sci-fi rather than fantasy.

After the team became aware that a Daredevil movie was in the works, the game became open-world.

The first is a Rogue Squadron Compilation with new features, including updated online multiplayer. The game was originally planned as an Xbox game, but several factors led to the game being developed for the Nintendo Wii. This Wii version had no online multiplayer, but included new modes that supported wii motion plus. The second project was Star Wars Dark Squadron. This would be a flight combat game like Rogue Squadron, but the player would take control of Darth Vader and control the imperial army. The third game discussed in this video is an action-adventure game staring Chewbacca. The game would have seen chewy as a bounty hunter, and would have took place before he became friends with Han Solo. Liam Robertson is a video game researcher and archiver.

This video details a cancelled Ghost Rider game by Neversoft, Crystal Dynamics, and Marvel from 1996. The game used a tweaked version of the engine used for Skeleton Warriors, and was planned to release exclusively on the original PlayStation. Support for the game was dropped when its publisher, Crystal Dynamics, decided to pull out of its publishing deals and focus on developing games in-house. There were also concerns surrounding the game's genre, as Crystal Dynamics believed sidescrolling games were falling out of fashion.

This video details 6 abandoned games from various publishers. First up is an Electra game from Marvel which would have been a spin-off of the cancelled Daredevil game previously features on Unseen64. The second title was a potential first person Command and Conquer game from EA and Criterion. The third game was contemplated during the earliest stages of development for Kid Icarus Uprising. Masahiro Sakurai had plans to create a Star Fox game on the Nintendo 3DS, but the project eventually developed into a revival of Kid Icarus after Sakurai came to the conclusion that his desired gameplay mechanics didn't suit Star Fox. The fourth game is again from Criterion. It would have been based on the Mad Max franchise, and published by 20th Century Fox. The fifth game is yet another Dirty Harry title. This game would have been an open-world crime game published by Warner Bros. The last game in this list is connected to Factor 5's PlayStation 3 title, Lair. Early in Lair's development, Factor 5 wished to use to the Dungeons and Dragons license.

This pitch in particular was developed by Chicago's Day 1 Studios, who had previously worked with Lucasarts. The project was planned to be published on Microsoft's Xbox 360, Sony's PlayStation 3 and PC.

This video details the development of a failed pitch of a video game tie-in to the Watchmen franchise. The proposal was developed by Bottlerocket Entertainment, who was mostly comprised of ex-staff members from Sony San Diego. The project would have featured various gameplay styles inspired by the comics, and would have followed the Watchmen team as they impacted historical events such as the assassination of JFK. Another idea Bottlerocket had was an open-world third person action adventure game that revolved around Rorschach. The target platforms for Battlerocket's game were never fully decided, but they were planning a multiplatform release, possibly for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 (PS3) and the Nintendo Wii.

This video details the development of an open world Flash video game. The project was developed by Bottlerocket Entertainment, who was mostly comprised of ex-staff members from Sony San Diego. The project also had involvement from Warner Brothers, who had the license for DC Comics’ franchise and character of Wally West. Through Liam's analysis, it’s easy to see the title's gameplay was ambitious even in its prototype stage. In its earliest stages, the developers even considered having cameos from other super heroes such as Batman and Superman. The target platforms for Battlerocket's game were the Xbox 360, Sony's PlayStation 3 (PS3) and the Nintendo Wii.

This video details the development of a prototype skateboarding game titled Sonic The Hedgehog Extreme. Sonic Extreme was developed by Vision Scape Interactive, and was originally developed without SEGA's consent. The project reused technology developed by Vision Scape for their Tech Deck Playset software, as well as a cancelled game based on Nickelodeon's Rocket Power cartoon. Vision Scape presented the pitch to Sonic Team's Yuji Naka, and Naka seemed to be impressed. Communication from SEGA broke down after this meeting however, and the project progressed no further. Around two years later, SEGA demonstrated their new title, Sonic Riders, which resembled Vision Scape's pitch. Vision Scape hoped that the project would find its way to Xbox, Gamecube, and PlayStation 2 (PS2) once it was finished.
