NailBiter111 got ahold of some game footage from a cancelled The Flash video game. The video features an early test to figure out how the combat might work. Greg Miller, lead designer on the game, sent CBM the footage and the following statement.

Miller on the game:

This was a very early test of the direction we were thinking of taking running combat. We were shooting for the old school feel of the “Road Rash” series where you could punch and pummel your opponent until you got him to wipe out. Our main difference was that you could assign a controller button to an opponent and this would allow you to bounce back and forth between multiple running foes. The bad guys were going to be Cadmus experiments into super speed who would terrorize Flash from time to time when he raced across the long city expressways. This video shows maybe about a weeks’ worth of work put into the system. It was only just coming online. We got a bit more work done on it before we closed down and we were starting to get some really amazing wipe outs happening but unfortunately I didn’t capture any of that. Regardless, it’s a nice little taste of what could have been.

Its a shame the game got canceled   would of been nice to see what  could of been  done with this!  What do you think?

New screenshots from Rocksteady’s highly-anticipated Batman: Arkham Knight have surfaced and can be viewed in the slideshow below!

In the explosive finale to the Arkham series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city he is sworn to protect. The Scarecrow returns to unite an impressive roster of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn, to destroy The Dark Knight forever.’

Batman: Arkham Knight introduces Rocksteady’s uniquely-designed version of the Batmobile, which is drivable for the first time in the franchise. The addition of this legendary vehicle, combined with the acclaimed gameplay of the “Batman: Arkham” series, offers gamers the ultimate and complete Batman experience as they tear through the streets and soar across the skyline of the entirety of Gotham City.

The game will be released on October 14 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

We got the announcement yesterday that developer Rocksteady was returning to the franchise they started with Batman: Arkham Asylum and bringing us a “final chapter” later this year in Batman: Arkham Knight. While the initial announcement revealed some things about the new title, the latest issue of GameInformer revealed many more details including the size of the map, the uses of the Batmobile, and what the title ‘Arkham Knight’ refers to.

Taking place just one year after the events of “Arkham City,” the plot of the game will see a Gotham that has come under siege from many of Batman’s famous villains including Two-Face, Penguin, Harley Quinn, and Scarecrow, but also a new face. “Arkham Knight” is not just the title of the game, but also a brand new villain that has been added to the mix. Rocksteady has reportedly been working with DC’s Geoff Johns to create the new character, but they’re remaining tight lipped about him for now.

“We hadn’t in the previous games introduced someone new to the universe,” game director Sefton Hill said. “We wanted to introduce someone who could really challenge Batman to go head to head with him in lots of different ways. We’re not talking about those ways just yet but this guy is definitely a formidable foe for Batman.”

The Gotham we see in “Arkham Knight” will be even bigger than the previous versions, taking place on three different islands throughout the city which the developer says is five times larger than “Arkham City.”

“As we’ve said before with Arkham City, it’s not about scale as much as detail,” Hill said, “We want to make sure the world is rich and full of interesting things to do. We’re not trying to create the biggest open-world game ever. We are trying to create a really rich, vibrant, dense open world.”

The Batmobile is the biggest addition to the gameplay of “Arkham Knight,” and Rocksteady wasn’t shy about their ambitions for it.

“We wanted to make the best car in any game ever,” Hill said. “That was our mission statement right from the start.”

With the push of a button, fans will be able to summon the Batmobile to their location in order to speed off into the night. Not only will the Batmobile provide convenient transportation, but it will also serve as the basis for many of the Riddler’s challenges in the new title.

No sequel to “Arkham Asylum” and “Arkham City” is complete without the man himself, and GameInformer has confirmed that Kevin Conroy will indeed return to voice the Batman in the upcoming final chapter.

Batman: Arkham Knight will debut on Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC this October.
