There are a lot of video games that will never see the light of day, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have access to them. The Last Job This was the name given to the project led by Acclaim Cheltenham in the early 2000s and which sought to be inspired by a legend of action cinema such as Heat.
What’s more, the provisional name of the work was The Heist, as pointed out by Games That Weren’t. This association has recovered the remains of a work that involved the participation of about 40 people and that It was even shown at E3 2004but it did so behind closed doors. It was originally planned for release on the PS2, although at one point it was also planned for the first Xbox. Below you have a gameplay so you can see it with your own eyes.
Four criminals would be the protagonists that we could choose to commit robberies and each of the characters would have special abilities. With a year of work behind us, The Last Job would allow the robbery of places as varied as warehouses, banks, yachts, racing circuits and museums. The idea would be to accumulate the largest amount of money in a story of revenge that would be interrupted by the action of law enforcement.
From a third-person perspective, the shooter would allow you to engage in shootouts using desks as cover, for example. In addition, each mission would be divided into specialized sections for each character, so that you could control them all. Furthermore, depending on your performance in each of them, you would have more or less of an advantage in the next area.
On the other hand, Acclaim Cheltenham hired a member of the SAS (Special Air Service) to instruct them for two days about special forces. Although The Last Job progressed normally in its creation, the stake in the heart of the title came with the closure of Acclaim in August 2004, so everything was cancelled. It is believed that around 40% of the video game had been completed for those dates.
Divided into seven parts, you can play a prototype of The Last Job and taste the experience for yourself from the website that rescued it from oblivion.
