Capcom's Canceled Games "Timeless" and "Ghouls n' Ghost" Surface

Here's our first look at some of Capcom's canceled games, Ghost n' Ghouls and Timeless, which were in early development back in 2016 - 2017.

darthv721382d ago

An updated, more mature reboot of Maximo is long overdue.

Nitrowolf21382d ago

Heck yeah! I remember playing that one on the ps2

bouzebbal1382d ago

Oh man!! I want a new Maximo so bad

1381d ago
thesoftware7301382d ago

Yes!!

When I first moved into my own place in 2002-2003 maximo is the only game I had for my ps2 at the time..I played it to death and me and my son still have fond memories of it and wanted a sequel.

I kind of remember them talking sequel but nothing ever came of it..oh the disappointment.

FreeckyCake1381d ago

Even when I interviewed Jonathan Casco, he seemed excited to go back and work on a continuation of Maximo.
I'll have to disagree with a reboot tho as the third game was meant to be the last one in the series in which Maximo was finally going to save Sophia from a religious cult that was menacing a city called Mashaad.

I loved that game, I would love to see an updated version or sequel

Damn, Ghouls n Ghosts would have been hype, I was hooked on that game as a kid.

specialguest1382d ago (Edited 1382d ago )

It would've been a down anyway. Taking the classic 2d side scroller and making it 3d means it's a totally different game in GnG skin.

If it was 2.5D game, hell yeah bring it!

sprinterboy1382d ago

Tbh going off the pictures, I'm glad they cancelled, both games looked meh from the pictures?

Smitty20201382d ago

I still play on my sega n this game is always my first play

adamwparker1381d ago

We already have modern Ghouls n Ghosts.

It's called Dark Souls...

Fluttershy771381d ago

Ghouls and Ghost is a freaking classic, I learn how to beat it on Mame (I can even speedrun it), and the whole point was to do it also on an actual arcade machine but.... haven't seen one in a while.
The last two G&G games we got are for iOS (I haven't play them but I can tell they suck)... I was hoping to actually see a true G&G for the new console gen...
I agree that a true G&G must be 2D... but idk, as long a they stay true to the original, maybe...
Meh Whatever: is canceled.

Ghost n Ghouls would have been fantastic with modern day PS5 graphics.

thesoftware7301382d ago

Deep down should make a return on PS5 as a new GnG!!

The games were already brutally difficult, so a darker theme would fit if some correctly.

Imortus_san1381d ago

How would it be a return if it never even got released.

DafunkyRebel1382d ago

The devs probably could even beat the first stage to unlock the rest of the game so they just canceled it

Einhander19711381d ago

Yes still have Maximo on ps2, ultimate ghouls and ghosts psp as well.

Sony shares big new PS Plus stat, but not the one we want to see

PlayStation Plus has improved the split of PS4 and PS5 players on its priciest tiers, but Sony continues to hide total subscriber numbers.

lol acting like it’s equivalent to ms numbers

Mr Logic17h ago

Uh...They're definitely not equivalent.

"Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service now has 34 million subscribers."

"the total number of PS Plus subscribers across all tiers was 47.4 million"

darthv7217h ago(Edited 17h ago)

That PSN number seems like it should be much higher... especially when you consider that PS4 alone has a sell through of over 117m. To not even be at least half that is rather interesting.

To the XB side, having 34m to an install base of roughly 50m (XBO sell through) or even 85m (360 sell through) is a greater percentage of unit to member ratio than PSN.

That's not the "gotcha" you think it is Darth.

darthv7212h ago

^^it's not supposed to be bloop.... it's just an interesting observation.

Have you ever heard of a PC before? I hear they are pretty popular.

MS started lumping gold subscribers in with those GP numbers... keep in mind.

shinoff218316h ago(Edited 16h ago)

What. Definitely more os plus subscribers but that makes sense due to actual console sales

Darth the difference between the bases are huge your right but you gotta think. Ps players buy more games, where as the Xbox base relies on gamepass for their gaming. So it makes perfect sense

darthv7216h ago(Edited 16h ago)

What makes perfect sense though? You say PS players buy more games... so then logically there should be more PS+ subscribers given the increased number of online multiplayer games in the PS4 generation alone. The PS4 was the first time that + was required for online play much like Gold was for 360 users.

Keep in mind we are talking subscribers, not simply XB/PS users. I assume you meant to say offline single player games, which is most likely true as well. That gen also saw a significant increase in games with an online component comparted to the previous gen.

victorMaje15h ago

I for one will be going back to essential at the next renewal. When I feel a game is good & right up my alley, I’ll check trusted reviews & just buy it.

jznrpg14h ago(Edited 14h ago)

I have the top tier until 2028 as they gave me a massive discount for all the years I had left but I’ll most likely go to essential as well. I buy my games but my kids do use the service occasionally. They do prefer to own their games as well since any game can leave the rental service at some point and they don’t like that idea. They mostly use it to demo games then ask me to buy games if they really like it.

RedDevils9h ago

For me, I will cancel it all together but unfortunately I still have it till 2030 lol

meganick13h ago

I would like to see Sony add a fourth tier of PS Plus for people who just want to be able to play games online without any of the perks like monthly games, store discounts, or anything like that, and it should cost $20 annually, $30 maximum. There’s no way I’m paying $80 just to play games online. Even the original $60 fee was too much, and I would often wait for sales to re-up my subscription.

P_Bomb10h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Essential is too expensive, I agree. We’ve got one Essential and one Premium sub. Dropping the Premium when it expires.

gamerz6h ago

Just let my subscription lapse for the first time since 2010. Will sub again every now and then for a month or so to access my old ps+ games but for me it's the end of an era.

DivineHand1256h ago

Let those numbers continue to drop because it is now too expensive. $80 per year just to play online. I noticed they didn't offer any discounts on the subscription or controllers during this year's days of play for the first time in many years and they will feel it when people choose not to renew.

My subscription will lapse next month and it will stay that way until further notice.

KevtheDuff2h ago

There were savings on subs and controllers here in the UK? I bought a controller yesterday in the sale..
It would be weird if those deals were not in other territories too?

RaidenBlack1d 12h ago

Hope SH2 gets more polish before release.

P_Bomb1d 12h ago

I’m not paying $94 CAD for what they’ve shown me. Looks rough as sin.

Fishy Fingers1d 11h ago

Ive seen better lip syncing during a Punch and Judy show

Sonic18811d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

This looks terrible. Capcom should have done the remake 😂 The animations and gameplay looks stiff.

-Foxtrot1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

Okay. I was saying before in another article how SH2 looked better than the last trailer, which is true but damn this looks rough as hell.

I wanted RE4 / Dead Space remake quality

Sonic18811d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

I wouldn't buy it for $70 dollars. Maybe when it's on sale.

-Foxtrot1d 11h ago

Yeah full price, deluxe editions, Konami are f***** tripping here.

CrimsonWing691d 11h ago

The characters look terrible to me… like it’s distracting.

repsahj1d 6h ago

I will give this game a chance!!! let's go!

Cheat providers for competitive games should be illegal.

Rynxie1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

This is what developers and manufacturers should do. I know going after cheat devices/makers is a cat and mouse game, and cost money. However, they can get that money back by sueing these manufacturers of cheat devices. Take a page from Nintendo's playbook.
