Footage From Marvel’s Cancelled DAREDEVIL Video Game Surfaces
Before Ben Affleck’s Daredevil movie was announced, 5000ft Inc. was developing a video game based on the character for the PlayStation 2. Marvel and Sony were developing the game, but there were a lot of issues that hurt the development of the game because they couldn’t agree on certain aspects of it.
The game was supposed to feature a series of vignettes, each one highlighting some of Daredevil's most iconic story arcs and characters. Apparently, Frank Miller’s run on the comic served as a heavy inspiration and the game would have included characters like Elektra, Bullseye, Kingpin, and even the Punisher.
Things on the game really started falling apart after the movie was announced. That changed the whole thing and it went into an open-world Grand Theft Auto type game. Things seemed to be going well with the changes, but Sony and Marvel just had different visions that ultimately killed the project. Sony wanted inventive gameplay mechanics and Marvel water to stick closer to the simple stuff and adhere to the character’s roots. They just couldn’t get on the same page, which led to the project’s demise.
The video comes from DidYouKnowGaming and it gives us a history of the game along with some of the first footage that’s been released. It looks like it could have been cool!
