Videos and details from cancelled Superman game by Factor 5

Factor 5 (Turrican, Star Wars Rogue Squadron) was developing a Superman title in 2007-2008, but the economic crisis forced the project to be kill along with the published and the studio.

Details:

• JLU main inspiration.
• Super brawls inspired by the show.
• Mechanics: aerial brawling, large urban environments, crashing through buildings, fast target engagement, knocking your foe into the next block, shockwaves from hits, impact grooves in the streets or building sides.
• Before the cancellation, the main aspects of the gameplay were fully made.
• All enemies were of similar power level.

Artwork:

While the gameplay may have been based on JLU, the environments were based heavily on both the Superman animated series and early 20th century artist Hugh Ferriss – featuring elevated highways, railways, and airships. pic.twitter.com/69vazGZnRC
