Regardless of headlining a film and starring in a number of latest live-action shows, Daredevil’s solely had one probability to headline a online game of his personal. That movie tie-in game for the Recreation Boy Advance could also be forgotten by most, however at one level, the Marvel character was meant to star in a console earlier than it was in the end cancelled.
Earlier within the week, prototype footage of that recreation—Daredevil: The Man With out Worry—surfaced on the web courtesy of recreation preservation web site Hidden Palace. As previously reported in 2016 by DidUKnowGaming, Daredevil was meant for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PC from developer 5,000 Ft. Studios and writer Encore Inc (which acquired the sport rights to a number of Marvel characters on the time). The footage under exhibits Matt Murdock doing what he does finest: beating up criminals, doing parkour, and tangling with Kingpin, Bullseye, and his on/off flame Elektra. The Catholic guilt presumably wasn’t finalized as a mechanic but on the time of this prototype.
5,000 Ft. (then recognized for the Military Males franchise) deliberate to make Daredevil right into a recreation comprised of vignettes which might present iconic moments from the hero’s comedian e book historical past. After the 2003 film was introduced, the sport’s scope shifted to a extra open-world format, which induced clashes between Marvel and Sony. Whereas Marvel needed to create a recreation that captured Matt Murdock’s essence, Sony was all about gameplay mechanics, and pitched the thought of rail grinding just like the Tony Hawk video games. That…didn’t occur, clearly, and the venture was scrapped.
Marvel and Sony finally made up in time to launch a trilogy of rad Spider-Man games in recent times, and the comics writer has partnered with a wide range of builders over the many years. Daredevil himself has continued to be a featured participant amongst many in titles like Marvel Final Alliance 3 and Marvel Strike Pressure. However curiously, this video hit across the identical time that Insomniac has teased something Daredevil-adjacent could also be taking place within the studio’s not too long ago launched Spider-Man 2. (Matt Murdock and his lawyer BFF Foggy Nelson had been title dropped within the 2018 Spider-Man recreation, and within the comics, Daredevil and Spidey are good pals.) When Uncharted inventive director Amy Hennig and Skydance New Media had been revealed to be engaged on a Marvel venture, there have been hopes that this is able to result in a Daredevil recreation, however the studio’s venture turned out to be a team-up recreation starring Captain America and Black Panther.
Clearly, the demand for a solo Daredevil recreation (or anything that includes him, truthfully) is sort of excessive, and it’s doubtless one thing Marvel is conscious of. The developer who will get the chance to lastly make that occur stays to be seen.
