10 Awful-Sounding Video Games That (Fortunately) Got Cancelled

10. Eyedentify

Developer: Sony Computer Entertainment Year of cancellation: No official announcement If there's one thing developers need to learn, it's that we don't like talking to our video games unless it's to real people. Eyedentify was announced back in 2005, and was planned to be a PlayStation 3 exclusive that made extensive use of the EyeToy (not the more advanced PlayStation Eye). Eyedentify was supposed to let you give voice commands to a couple of virtual women, in order to complete a variety of missions. The pre-release material also showed the player joking around with them as if they were real people. As many predicted, the game was never heard from again after the 2005 announcement. The technology to speak naturally with an AI in a video game doesn't exist today, let alone almost a decade ago with technology that was already outdated. Eyedentify just wouldn't have worked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZkFL7livcA
