It did. Unfortunately the studio was horribly managed and squandered its resources. Then it got more funding before MS washed its hands and sold it to Sony. SOE refused to give them a blank check so it ended up being pushed out as it was, and that was that. So much was broken with that game that I am not convinced Sony's decision was precisely wrong; "fixing" Vanguard would've taken a major effort and dang near a complete re-build. I've seen buggy games before, but I don't think I've ever seen a big-budget game where absolutely everything was broken like it was in VG. It's the poster child for terrible management and shoddy workmanship. It's a pity because there was a good game buried in there underneath the mountain of problems.

I believe the original poster linked the VG emulator that has been operating for quite a few years. It is incomplete and far away from completion; that work on it was started dang near a decade ago, before VG shut down, should speak volumes with respect to the complexity of the subject at hand.
