Platform: PlayStation
Developer: Rabid Entertainment

Rabid's one-time planned Violent Seed was looking fairly promising. Even in its early stages. The title was to be a shooter for the PlayStation.
In Violent Seed, you would have played as an alien race who came to a futuristic earth to harvest technology that the human race developed using the aliens' "seed." So instead of classic shooter gameplay where you play as one ship battling an alien race trying to take over earth, Violent Seed had you playing aliens trying to destroy earth.
Violent Seed's features not only added to the game's play, they also added new advances to the shooter category in general. For instance, through special targeting you could have located enemies or objects on the ground and then use them as bombs or debris to increase levels of damage. Each of the game's five weapons had different stages of power, which would change the form of your ship each time you increased the weapon's power.

The game would have begun in the US with you traveling around the world, accessing secret stages and destroying as many obstacles as possible. The game's interactive backgrounds would have shown varying levels of damage, depending on the force of impact, and many of the game's levels were two screen-lengths across, making for a bigger roaming environment.
WHAT HAPPENED?
The game was quietly canceled.
Viper Red Sector
Platform: PlayStation
Publisher: New World Comp
Developer: New World Comp

What is this all about? Yet another creation of mankind goes bad and turns against its creators in Viper: Red Sector, a game of flight simulation and aerial combat. You would've played the role of the only fighter pilot on earth whose brainwaves could control a squadron of robot fighter planes, which were designed to eliminate a race of irate synthetic humanoids. You would've guided these planes, one at a time, against the enemy in six campaigns and more than 40 sorties. Your planes wouldn't have flown on rails: You would have swooped your fighter anywhere you wanted through the game's texture-mapped environments. Advanced AI, too.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Viper Red Sector was canceled without explanation shortly after 3DO purchased New World.
Virtual Gallup
Platform: PlayStation
Publisher: Sunsoft
The Basics
Virtual Gallup was to be a realistic 3D-rendered horse racing game in which you controlled the horses as the jockey. Racing well would've won you points to use to upgrade your horse's speed, stamina, dash, and gait, which would've increased your horse's chances of being victorious in the next race. The developers planned to store racing statistics in the game's database, which was designed to keep track of the past three years of racing.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Virtual Gallup disappeared for no apparent reason.
