SalvatrixIn 2008, game developer Factor 5 was working on a major Superman video game for Brash Entertainment. The game was originally going to be a tie in for the second Bryan Singer Superman film which never got made, but evolved during pre-production to be based less on the proposed movie and more as a companion release.
The eventual financial crisis in late 2008 wiped out many game studios and publishers, including both Brash and Factor 5.
This video is a montage of actual gameplay from our first playable pre-production build. It shows the ease of engaging in melee brawling even in a full flight environment, as well as how that brawling interacted with the urban environment such as crashing through buildings (while still brawling).

This video was a "target render" created by the artists during pre-production. It's intent is to show what they gameplay might be like with visuals closer to the the final expectation (as opposed to the very blocky placeholder art in my other actual gameplay video - youtube.com/watch?v=taV51y3Y-KA )Blue Steel - Setting the ToneSalvatrix2016-03-29 | In 2008, game developer Factor 5 was working on a major Superman video game for Brash Entertainment.

This video was created early on to demonstrate the story tone they were aiming for - Superman finally facing foes that were on his level, a chance for Superman to be unleashed. There was to be no rescuing kittens from trees, no defeating weather events, no kryptonite crutches, and no mowing down countless hordes of robots.

Almost everything in this video was eventually made functional in gameplay prototypes such as crashing through buildings, walls, and ground; jumping foes fighting flying foes, grappling foes while crashing through buildings; etc...
