Vaywing 4

Vaywing 4 (ベイウィング4 - Beiu~ingu 4) was a game planned to be released on the Nintendo Gamecube, PlayStation 2, original X-Box, and in the arcades. The game was canceled due to the previous Vaywing game not receiving favorable reviews, and never began full development. The only thing remaining from the development of this game is pieces of concept art as well as some 3D models. There is even a very short, 1-minute demo said to have been created from this game. The console that the developers would focus on for Vaywing 4 would be that of the PlayStation 2, with the other two consoles planned not being as important to the developers.

Vaywing 4 was said to be in development for a long time, even bringing together a new team at Ocean Games that would go on to make other great games. Vaywing 4 was the reason that Team Beta, a development team within Ocean Games. This team would later make such titles as the original Warp, the Heroes of the World series, as well as Year of the Dragon: Race of the Crystal.

Team Beta were said to have been developing this game for about 6 months before it was shelved, with the team leader later stating in a Warp 3 interview, "Well, it wasn't much. But we were enjoying developing the game up to the point of cancellation."

And, after the cancellation of 4, there were no other Vaywing games set to be released for many years, due to Ocean Games not feeling it had a place within their current arsenal of releases. However, in 2010, Vaywing was revitalized for a new audience with a WiiWare exclusive title, Vaywing: Classic, matching up with the companies other WiiWare titles. However, after the release of Vaywing: Classic, there was once again another drought with Vaywing releases. But, in 2020, Ocean Games announced that they'd be developing a new Vaywing game after the success of the small Vaywing eShop game released only a year before. The new game would be titled, Vaywing 4: Proton and would be a return to the mainline series of Vaywing titles.
