5 Cancelled Fallout Video Games You Never Knew Existed

2. Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel 2 - PS2, Xbox (2005)

There wasn't much love for the Fallout series' foray onto consoles. The original Brotherhood of Steel was a repetitive hack-n-slashy game that was released in 2004, with its mildly redeeming grace being that you could play through it with a friend. Hordes of Fallout fans took up their pitchforks and nail boards against Brotherhood of Steel, calling it unfaithful to the Fallout mythos and an insult to the series. The game sold poorly, which led to its sequel being unceremoniously axed late in development. What really rubbed irradiated water into Fallout fans' wounds was the fact that Interplay cancelled development of the eagerly anticipated Fallout 3 'Van Buren' to work on Brotherhood of Steel 2, believing that the future of the series lay in consoles. Suffice to say, this didn't endear Interplay to the die-hard fans of the previous, PC-based, games in the series. The story of this abandoned game would've pitted the player against the Cyphers, a luddite group who get their hands on a G.E.C.K - a terraforming device designed to regenerate the land, though in this case at the expense of other people. The gameplay was to include stealth, sniping, and a loyalty/morality system. Like the original, it would've been a game that was playable locally with two people.
