When you find yourself trying to remember a show (or any works) that's on the tip of your tongue but just out of reach, come here - the collective brain of the TVTropes community can probably help. Post all the details you can remember (examples help). If you're looking for a trope, head over to Trope Finder. Have general questions about tropes? Visit Ask The Tropers!
There was a game called Survivor announced in 2004 - initially for PC, Xbox, Playstation 2, and Gamecube, but later re-announced as coming out for PC and Xbox 360. Hurricane Andrew does seem to have been one of the scenarios planned for it. It was being developed by a German company called Replay Studios, but was officially declared cancelled at some point, and the studio's website now seems to be deceased. Might that be what you're thinking of?

Yep, that was it!
Oh hai TV Tropes
I remember seeing this YEARS ago on Gamespot, as a few screenshots of a new disaster-based video game. I can't for the life of me remember the title, or really anything beyond the fact that it was for the previous console generations about about surviving real life disasters (I think Hurricane Andrew had screenshots). I'm guessing the game fell into Development Hell and has been quietly canceled, because there's nothing about it and even the Wikipedia category for survival-based video games has nothing on it. It looks to have been a third-person game, and was suggested to be a free roamer.
Can anyone find anything on it? For the record, I've looked at virtually every disaster-related game I could find and no dice. So it's definitely never been released, and may not have ever gotten anything more than a few scant previews early in the alpha stage from Gamespot and IGN.
