News from <a href="http://www.dreamcast-scene.com/index.php/Main/News200504#GeistForceVideo">Dreamcast Scene</a>

It should have become one of the first games for the Dreamcast in 1999, but due quality doubts it was canceled in the same year: Geist Force? by Sega.

Now a video footage which shows various gameplay scene was found in the abyss of the internet. Even it was taken several years ago and floated around on some FTPs, we've finally found a sever where you can download it. Enjoy!

Head on over to the link above to download :)

HI

Wraggster, that is a very old common video file. It was/is part of a VHS tape & VCD games preview. That i think that was a given-away in some game-show. The complete preview video even has never seen Sonic Adv. footage and alot more.

Plus i have more videos from never seen DC games, even for Saturn and others.

I love collecte those videos and imagens.

It was released on VCD? As far as I know it was only available at some file sharing clients such as eMule and FTPs.

So at least it's now on a HTTP and everyone can download it. ;)

The game looks great. Maybe someone, somewhere has a prototype GDR of this...

Hey, Mekanizer, you have more videos from unreleased games? Could you please upload them somewhere? Which games is it?

[Maximo2703]

yeah it does look like Sega's answer to Star Fox although seems to have the graphics just as good as the recently released Star Fox Assault

Looks wonderful! What happened to it? Since it was an early game it could not have been cancelled because Sega stopped DC-production?

from IGN



May 21, 1999 - It appears that Geist Force, whose's status has been more uncertain than Oprah's dietary habits, has taken a flying leap of the cliff of gaming oblivion. A spokesperson from Sega told IGNDC that despite earlier rumors that the project was being handed to other programmers inside Sega after a recent internal shake-up, Sega COO Bernie Stolar recently decided the project was better left unfinished.

Prior to E3, Sega claimed the title was still on target for a September release with the system, but apparently after further examination early last week, Stolar decided to cancel the project as it simply did not live up to Sega's AAA billing. While it is certainly a bit depressing to see Geist fall by the wayside, it is nonetheless a positive sign to see Sega upholding some standard of quality for their titles.

Sega did manage to say that certain element of the title, such as art direction and certain gameplay aspects are being saved in hopes that they could be incorporated into later titles, but as of yet were not prepared to comment on what, if anything, they had in mind. We'll be sure to keep poking around, and you can expect the full scoop when it surfaces.

Heh, take a look at Wild Metal. I don't think there could be a game any worse than that. Although that wasn't a SEGA title.
