Here’s some footage from F.3.A.R developer, Day 1 Studios’, canceled Gotham by Gaslight game.
Remember those menu designs from that canceled steampunk Batman game we showed you last month? Well the noble scholars over at Siliconera have managed to dig up a video of the game in motion, and it is beautiful. It was beautiful.
Okay, so Batman doesn’t do anything particularly Batman-esque in the video. He just walks around, stopping occasionally to brood a little. Regardless, I could watch that physics-driven cape for hours.
This footage is part of a pitch for Gotham by Gaslight, which would have appeared on PS3 and Xbox 360 between 2009 and 2010 had a publishered picked it up. In the game, a hefty-looking Batman would have attempted to track down Jack the ripper in a 19th century interpretation of Gotham. 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.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why we can’t have nice things.
