Today, let's have a look at that canceled tie-in
Avengers game that got recently revealed!
Granted it was a bit too early in development to have a clear look at what the gameplay or style of the game would have been like.
We just know it was supposed to be based on the film (plot or just "universe"). It was a multi-console FPS for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. It seems it would have featured online capabilities, co-op play and level-based progression for the characters.
Why was it canned? Well, THQ was going bankrupt, they had to let people go to save money. This game's studio was shut down, so the game got canceled and no other developer picked it up.
Gameplay footage was later leaked online from an anonymous source.
People are going crazy online
just because it was canceled. But I fear that had this been actually released those same people would be the ones hating it!
It looked sort of awkward. I mean superheroes are all about the visuals. That's why the game hesitates to actually be a fully first-person shooter (in the above footage) and the camera pulls out at several occasion to showcase the heroes.
The game was looking nice graphically at least. I can imagine Iron Man would have been great to play with. But that's because of his shooting ability.
The more brawler characters might have been sucky to play with, kinda boring and repetitive I'd guess. Hulk and Thor would end up being the least fun characters of the bunch. (despite my love for them..)
Though Captain America could have been quite interesting.
Canceled game, yup. Sad to let such project go but we won't be really missing anything to be honest.
(does this confirm
the Skrulls as the movie's main baddies btw?)
