10 Best Video Game Sequels That NEVER Happened

10. The Thing II

It goes almost without saying that having another game about the horror film classic The Thing would have been awesome.

And, indeed, the work that had gone into planning the game before it was cancelled in 2003 does suggest it would have been a fun experience. For example, developers had designed a "burst-out" system, allowing various creepy new Things to bust out of random NPCs, bringing you some genuine and delightful horror.

These were also supposed to grow and mutate, turning more horrific as time goes on.

Tragically, these plans for gross, ever-changing beasts were cut short, as the studio creating the game - Computer Artworks - closed down, prematurely ending both The Thing II and also an Alone In The Dark sequel.

While the games hadn't been very developed, it's still a shame that they were canned, as those involved in creating The Thing II did seem to be approaching its development from a smart perspective. After all, there's no point creating a game based on a really cool monster without first making your monsters as nuanced and scary as you can.
