Cancelled Darth Maul Game May See Release on Current Gen
The developer of the cancelled Darth Maul 360/PS3 game is hoping it will see the light of day on current gen.
Hey remember that awesome Dan Borth [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2014/04/09/art-from-the-darth-maul-game-you-39-ll-never-get-to-play.aspx] has hopes that the game may see release on current gen, and is currently working on a demo of the game for PS4/Xbox One/PC to show perspective publishers.
"We have been burning a candle for this game since it was killed in hopes we can get it turned back on again. If that is to happen we need to approach EA with a demo that will impress them. I think we have that or are close to it. Still it is completely not up to us," Borth elaborated.
For a bit of insight into what the game would have been/could still be, check out the gameplay footage from the cancelled version to the right. Borth says in a reddit AMA [https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3q2mpm/hi_im_dan_borth_of_red_fly_studio_the_creators_of/] that the game would have/will feature young Maul from ages 9 ~ 11 - right before Episode 1, and "Showcase the torture the Emperor put him through. Show how you as the player would have made the same mistakes and ended up a Sith."
As for how the game would have/will play, Borth said the team had "settled on a reverse fear mechanic and combat that was similar to Arkham," and that Maul would only ever take out his lightsaber staff to fight Jedi.
Sounds like it would have been a pretty cool game, perhaps something along the lines of The Force Unleashed [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/tag/view/the%20force%20unleashed?os=%20the%20force%20unleashed] but with a better main character.
