Footage From Canceled Steampunk Batman Game Surfaces

[Dominic Burchnall]

Just throwing an idea onto the table, cos it looks about the right time period (and apologising in advance if it turns out my Batman lore is not up to scratch), but I think a really good final villain for this game would have been a newly resurrected Solomon Grundy. Maybe you feel his influence throughout the game, battling grunts in his employ, fight him in his human form, then the finale of the game has you square off against him as his regenerative powers set in. Solomon Grundy vs Steampunk Batman... what do you rekon, Escapists?

Get a kickstarter and MAKE THIS GAME!

Man that cape was wicked though. Would have been nice to see something like that used in Arkham City!

I know. Cloth seems to be one of the hardest thing to do right in a game, but that was awesome.

OT: Maybe now a publisher will pick it up seeing the reception and it will get released in 2014 or something. At least I can dream.

That cape... Those physics... That was amazing!

That's exactly what I was thinking. I mean, I won't lie, I thought he looked like a fucking moron with his cowl and everything in a 19th century cape, but goddamn if that cape wasn't beautiful.

Argh! Somebody start a kickstarter! If all else fails somebody phone Notch!

Hopefully Rocksteady sees this and decides to pick it up. A Steampunk Batman game would be quite awesome in my opinion.

That video was pulse-pounding. I totally got chills from watching batman walk around on rooftops while the camera leisurely checks out his 'utility belt'.

What the fuck. Show us some actual gameplay.

I wouldn't mind seeing that Batman outfit as DLC in Arkham City.

Damn it ninja'd but I agree we you pal, I would like to use that costume in Arkham City not to metion that badass cape.

 

[The Pinray]

Just release more videos of the cape. That's all I want. O.O

I kinda feel like Rocksteady is making their Arkham games into a trilogy. So maybe after the third Arkham game they could pick up this one. You guys know the Arkham gameplay would work well in this concept. It's almost too perfect.

I can dream anyway...

Publisherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs *kneels and shakes fist at the sky*


Stop being stupid and understand the average geek consumer better.

This is a peanut and jelly sandwich. PEANUT AND JELLY SANDWICH.

Steampunk and Batman, married. For fuck sake what publisher went: "Nah this won't sell."
"Fools! Surrounded by fools!"

 

[Monkeyman O'Brien]

Okay I would play this just for how pimp Batman looks in that cloak.

See this THQ, this shit right here. This is why you are going broke.
Maybe if you focused on interesting game ideas instead of shitty tablets that no one wants, maybe you would not be going bankrupt within a year.

"Day 1 Studios' pitched the game to THQ, who didn't bite. Unable to find a publisher to fund the game, Day 1 eventually canceled the project."

All of my rage


... on the other hand, here's hoping that Rocksteady (in partnership perhaps) will be able to pick this up as a follow on to Arkham City. It would be I think a more fruitful new direction than the logical expansion of Arkham locations:
-Arkham County
-Arkham State
-Arkham Nation
-Arkham Planet
-Arkham in Space
-Arkham to the Future
-Live free or Arkham
-Arkham 2: Arkhammer

Don't forget Green Eggs and ArkHam.

Seriously though id love to see what they do with Jack, even if the guy was most likely a crazed American docter with a pimpin moustache.

Wow, Batman must have had some serious hydraulics in his boots or something.
