  • Really wish I could play this game!

  • Have you ever thought about shopping it to Rocksteady and WB Games they did a damn good job with Arkham City. This game I think would definitely sell especially it being free roam from the looks of it and having classic Flash Villains. I wonder would ya'll have added the Speed Force even if it was a temporary special move/feature

  • *takes too long, seems so slow...*

  • This actually looks a shit-ton better than the Green Lantern game ended up being O.o though I dunno if Sandbox was the best venue for it, doesn't work for every game.

  • @Theninjasarecoming ehhhh actually, I dunno after watching, it did look pretty awesome, I just kinda think stage-by-stage might have helped the flow? I dunno, you guys clearly knew what you were doing, it looks awesome

  • theey should at least make a flash game like this for iOS devices

  • I would have totally played this

  • The potential, IS TOO DAMN HIGH!!!!!!!

  • That's a shame a good game and talent lost

  • flash deserves a game

  • i wonder how fast he can wack off. . .

  • the game when i saw it looked like it was the first xbox

  • I am a little curious about the speed of the combat. Does all of it take place in slow motion? If it takes place in real time, wont it get too fast to follow?

  • @aashishvasu

    This video shows some good portions of combat. The gist of it is that the player could assign a button prompt over an enemy (if you ever played Mark of Kri or Rise of the Kasai we were using the same system). Pressing that button had the Flash dash to the opponent (essentially almost teleporting to him because he moved so fast) and then you could unload a flurry of attacks on them. Pressing buttons allowed you to quickly bounce between opponents.

  • @misterbigmouth if it was like that, it would have been EPIC! i loved the mark of kri!!!!

  • The Game looks awesome! I would tottaly buy it! I mean if it was as awesome as Batman Ac,Aa! Im a huge Dc fan too!

  • were can u find this game for PS2

  • @TheJanorris

    You can't. it was being built for the 360 and PS3 when production was stopped.

  • looks fake

    yet real a little

  • @Kyler1315

    100% real. It was a solid 6 months of my life working on it and I was sad to see it not get done. If you do a Google search for Bottlerocket Flash Game you'll find a Joystiq article about it.

  • @misterbigmouth You did this??? :O

    Congrats to you if you got this far (if you are actually the one who created this)

  • @swifti1001

    It was created by Bottlerocket Entertainment. I was one of the people that worked on it so it's not my baby alone :). A lot of talented people put time and effort into it.

  • @misterbigmouth Why'd you guys stop?

  • @swifti1001

    Our publisher, Brash, went out of business. Since they were paying us to make the game for them, there was no more income. We tried to shop the game around to other publishers but we couldn't keep our doors open long enough to land anyone else and we had to close up shop ourselves.

  • @misterbigmouth Thats so gay. This could've been epic since dc is not even making any flash games but they make stupid green lantern >_>

  • ijlsfhsalkjfs;adhf is there any good games that aren't gonna get cancelled >.<

  • I wonder if rocksteady could do something with this? They seem to be the go to guys on super hero games. You guys were definitely on to something

  • @11slash711 dude if Rocksteady could make Batman Arkham Asylum AND Arkham City a complete masterpiece i dont see why they couldnt do this game.

  • i saw the buttons of xbox!! if this is for the xbox IM SOOO GETTING THIS GAME SOMEHOW!!

  • If this is just the unpolished version, its such a shame it wasent published. Looks like it could have been a very good game. I'm curious, what engine was the game developed with?

  • @TRUSTLBLACKMETAL

    We were building our own custom one. There was good and bad to that. The good was that Programming had complete control over the code so there was nothing bloating the system. The bad was that it's very slow to get tools online for people to actually make the game.

  • dude this is amazing is this real? if so how can i get my hands on it?

  • @spudthenerd4

    Yes, it was real. Unfortunately there is no way to get your hands on it. The game only existed on the computers at Bottlerocket and when the company got shut down, the game went away with it.

  • For six months into development, this looks awesome. Just wondering, how does the combat work? It looks like you attack certain enemies by hitting one of the Xbox's buttons, but then how do special moves get pulled off.

    And if this does go back into development, please get rid of the Flash Tokens. They remind me of "Flying through rings" if you know what I mean.

  • @saintdane05

    Combat was handled just like you said...press the button that matched the prompt over the enemy and you'd dash to him and attack him. As for Special Moves...if I remember correctly you were going to use the bumper buttons plus one of the face buttons. And you'd use the ability on the last person you had just attacked (unless it was more of group attack and then it would hit everyone in range).

  • I like what I see! There are some haters in the comments but I think it looks amazing, even just six months into development. Normally I prefer realism but I really like the stylized look of everything, especially some of the very interesting looking architecture of what I'm guessing is Keystone city? I hope it's picked up again someday. Sweet video!

  • ANY chance well ever see this released? :(

  • @misterbigmouth

    Ok, ok. Thanks about informing me. It's a shame that your publisher died. Could of been a very very fun game.

  • this looks like it would've been a good movie game.

  • Flash should be faster than that...

  • @Chin3seDragon

    Multiple reasons why Flash at this point in development was not faster

    1) Streaming was still not optimized and at a certain speed Flash was actually outrunning the loading of assets.

    2) We also found that once you hit a certain speed or above, he became impossible to control. The player could not respond fast enough to turn or stop or do whatever he had to do and would constantly crash. Crashing is not fun.

    3) We were only 6 months into development.

  • @misterbigmouth Don't mess with super heroes...our technologies can't match up with Flash yet...lol

  • @misterbigmouth The sprite outran both players and the loading time? The Flash really is the fastest man alive, even in game form!

  • @misterbigmouth a way that could have been fixed to achieve a faster speed was rather than the player speeding up, everything around the player begins to slow down. It gives the illusion of faster speed without the loss of control and have to worry about texture loads as much.

  • @misterbigmouth Its sadding to hear that,im sure if the game was to be perfected itd be amazing! Perphaps another Dc hero would do

  • This looked like it could have some amazing potential. Then it got canned :(

  • @Aharan648

    Just want to make it clear that saying it got canned is a misnomer. The game stopped production because our publisher Brash went out of business and we couldn't find anyone to pick up the game before we had to close our doors. The game was not cancelled because of anything wrong with it. In fact both Brash and WB/DC were incredibly happy with the design and the game play we already had in the short time we had worked on it.

  • That sucks they cancelled it, looks like it would have been freakin awesome.

  • can't tell if just developing stages, or graphic sucks?

  • @SoreEyeMusic

    As the description of the video says, we were only 6 months into production when work on the game halted. So everything was still very temp. When you work on games very little art in the early stages is "final". You're just trying to get stuff in so you can prove out game play. We still would have had a year and half to go to make everything look pretty.

  • ha, as if those guys would stand a chance against the flash. Even with guns!

  • always wondered how combat would be handled in a flash game. the concept of each face button being assigned to individual enemies is brilliant. i would really have liked to see this game fleshed out.

  • damn if it was finished this could be really good

  • well, this looks like a sonic game made right. I would love to play it!

  • Well a Flash game can't be bad! I just want to run fucking fast

  • Why is the greatest stuff never made :/

  • They cancelled it because it would be so quick to complete, get it?... quick...

  • this looks like an arcade game

  • As cool as it is, it reminds me a bit too much of Spiderman 2 in so many ways. I'd still try it, but probably wouldn't buy a Flash game title. Cool to see it like this but it sucks that it wasn't completed. @badkiller2 would be nice to have a JL game, but preferably one where you could choose who you wanted to play as for each level with free roam in each heroes home city.

  • Wow that sucks.. as a game developer you still get paid even if they game is canceled right?

  • @Theonegamefreak

    That depends on what kind of deal you made with the publisher before hand. Most deals you get paid per milestone. As long as you hit your milestone and the work is acceptable you get paid. And if a game is cancelled usually you try to work in a bit of a buffer so you're not stuck high and dry. Our case was a bit different because the game didn't get cancelled, the publisher went out of business. You do the math on that one.

  • @misterbigmouth Deals.. so you work for a game dev company and you make games FOR publishers.. Is this carrer risky at all?

    Sounds free lancing.

  • @Theonegamefreak

    Most game devs don't have the luxury of self publishing. So one of the big boys (like EA, THQ, etc) pay the companies to make the games for them. So yeah, I guess it's kind of like freelancing but as a whole company rather than a person and there is a chance you could be brought on full time (the publishers buys the game dev). And yes, this career is totally risky as things can go poof at any moment. Just look at what happened to us at Bottlerocket.

  • @misterbigmouth Ah shoot.. what are stable jobs in game development? Or are they all risky?

    Is it hard to get hired by Valve?

  • @misterbigmouth Hmmm, I don't understand much gaming and sorry for that, but you could give this prototype to WB Games to revive the project and don't leave it dead, that's what happened to Duke Nukem, D2 and Metal Gear Solid Rising, as Warner affirmed in a review that they are currently looking on making games for DC superheroes due to the success of Batman Arkham City.

    This may not but at least try.

  • It's a little like watching a new Sonic game.

  • @Eragarev

    Good thing we have Sonic Colors & Generations.

  • Holy crap, I mean, why aren't I playing this? This demo was better than Superman Returns, and it got published! WTF.

  • This looks fun to play

  • This looked like it had potential. WE (Justice League Fans) need more then just Supes & Batz to carry the torch.

  • Make* this game DC

  • is there any way to play what was made?

  • @jjeshjod

    Unfortunately no. We still weren't at a point where we had any sort of stand alone beta so it was only playable on our machines with all the assets or downloaded onto a test kit. And once Bottlerocket closed up shop all those assets went away.

  • Mixture of sonic, gta, and arkham city....GENIUS!!!!

  • wow, this game looks amazing

  • Why do all the good games get canceled?

  • lokks like it would have been a fun game to try. too bad.

  • Looks like a badly develpoed DCUO.

  • @Drago2529 Are you blind? Read the description

  • @GOOB3000 "Looks like a badly develpoed DCUO" I said 'Looks'. Not 'is'. You should read before being a jerk about things = =

  • @Drago2529 You still said it...

  • 1 minute in this video looks like 10 hours in real life

  • Who would win in a race

    Flash

    Sonic

    Spiderman

    The guy from the game just cause

    or Superman

  • they superman gets canceled the flash gets canceled

    aw man :(

  • i wana play this how can i get it?????

  • thes game for my iphone 4s ?!

  • @rekair911

    Nope, sorry. When the game was being worked on it was for PS3 and 360 with a Wii port being worked on by a third party. Technology in phones has taken leaps and bounds but they are still not powerful enough to keep up with the streaming that was required to load stuff, at least not in the way our game engine architecture worked.

  • I want that game

  • everyone looks frozen!

  • we need a FLASH MOVIE!! get that guy from the fast and the furious!!

  • this game is CLEARLY EPIC!!!!

  • Can u tell the name of the character?Are u playing with Barry or Wally/?

  • @Parlockembarce

    At the time the game was being worked on, Barry was not back in the DCU yet so the plans were for the character to be Wally. There is probably a strong chance it would have shifted over to Barry if DC would have wanted to keep the game in continuity.

  • WOW this could've been a really good game that i would buy :O y did they cancel :(

  • @TheXmenunited7

    The game stopped production because our publisher Brash went out of business. We shopped the game around but could not find anyone to pick it up before we had to close our doors too.

  • Is it a.....flash game? Ahahahahahahahaha! Get it? Flash -flash? NO? U bastards...

  • Thumbs up if yo were searching for " Online Flash Games"

  • AHHH crap lol this would have been a fun free roam game they cancel this superman and a avengers game when the games are so damn close to being finished are companies that bent on not bringing hero games into a popular mainstream

  • this is so bad ass dude i really home this comes out even tho the production has stoped :( i want to see this out

  • y is the Flash so unloved??

  • It is pretty good, but now that it's 2011, try upgrading it and there shouldn't be an outline when the flash is running. :P

  • As a long-time The Flash fan, I would've really been very happy with this game. Too bad it didn't get released. :(

  • this game need slowmo for showing amazing tricks and fighting

  • This game have an amazing look.

    I ask myself why it has been canceled.

    I can imagine the possibilities we'll have with flash, for example modes to unlock like all Flashes costumes or extra missions like races and lots of secondary missions to enjoy more time the game.

    Too bad... Always interesting games are cancelated.

  • I love the art design in this game.

  • Tomara q esse jogo saia gostei muito entao por favor fasão-o

    serei o 1º a comprar

  • i would have loved this :(

  • This game looks really great! It kind of reminds me of Mirror's Edge and the 3D Sonic the Hedgehog games put together. It's a shame that this game wasn't completed. It think it would have good reception.

  • This reminds me of pepsi man

  • I would have loved to see this game released, because it looks like it'd be a pretty fun game!

  • The game's character models good

  • Wow conceptually this looks AMAZING! Shame that this had to be cancelled, hopefully will see the light of day eventually. Were did you guys go to after it happened?

  • @AmbientMess

    Bottlerocket pretty much went all different directions after the doors closed. A big chunk was "hired" by Namco to finish up Splatterhouse but once that game was done, they were all released back into the wild again so we are all over the place.

  • @misterbigmouth YOu guys ever thought of finishing the game, polishing it up and try to ffer it to DCU again?? At worst, you'll be refused, you can steal release it as a fan made game, or change the character and trademarks and make it your own game. It does show alot of potential.

  • @badkiller2

    It would be awesome if we could but since everyone has gone their own ways that makes it pretty impossible. People are so busy with their new jobs that finding time to work on something like this would be next to impossible. Plus most of the guys have families at this point so any time outside of work is spent being with them, as it should be.

  • @misterbigmouth Ehh, too bad. Such a sad ending to such great potential.

    Oh well, at least you guys tried.

  • I would buy this game if it was finished. I hope you can finish it and we can play it.

  • looks bad

  • If they actually put some money and some effort into these games they could actually turn out to be quite awesome.

  • can i buy a disc of this version for xbox 360? please?

    YOU WILL LITERALLY BE MY BEST FRIEND. O.O

    lol jk but seriously can i buy a copy off of you?

  • Only 600,000+ views without advertising - obviously no interest in this whatsoever :P

    Hope to see it revived, as you say "when/if the stars aligin favourably"

  • Everybody's hating on this, but this game looks sick

  • @british2021

    Actually the majority of the comments are pretty positive. Which leads me to believe had this game actually been finished and came out it probably would have been pretty well received. I like to see things like that because I'm still hoping someday this game might be made and showing overwhelming support for it through these posts might be a way to make that happen.

  • @misterbigmouth it looks like a good concept idea, but there are alot of elements that need to be fixed. The game's character models need to be more stabilized. When the flash ran, it looked like a big jumping blur. The fighting styles are quite amateur at best, but if they connected the punches, like in batman. I would enjoy playing it if these, and a few other problems are fixed.

  • Oops, nvm Brash went out of business, huh?

    Sorry bro. Hopefully y'all get a new publisher.

  • @srs1797

    I wish we could have. The game has been out of production for over two years now and everyone has gone their own ways. But my former boss is still out there floating around and a few of the Brash guys work at DC now, so maybe...just maybe...the stars will align one day and let us resume this.

  • @misterbigmouth

    Dude this game looks freaking epic, and I'm sorry that it couldn't have been saved. Honestly, if y'all could've finished it, you would've made DC A LOT OF MONEY! DCUO is okay, but nowhere close to this man, I hope Brash reconsiders, y'all did an amazing job.

  • I would have played it looks like it would have been tight even without touch ups

  • looks pretty good to me, hope to see this come to life one day. keep at it

  • Is there any chance we can see the flash game on PS3/PS4.

    ( sorry 4 my english)

  • this reminds me of the superman games on the ps2... and that's not good...

    For tis game to succeed it would have to be like Spider-man Shattered Dimensions, or Batman Arkham games... because those were good super hero games.. And a flash game sure would be refreshing!

  • Lol i wish flash forget his controlling in middle of oncoming traffic and die of accident

  • Right next to turning into Wonder Woman into a biker chick, not making this game is one of the dumbest things DC has done.

  • Xbox arcade!!!

  • looks like it woulda been pretty dope.it cancelled?

  • LOL ! xbox game !!!! LOLOLOLOLOLO!

  • @WorgenAlcorn

    Why is it funny that it was on Xbox?

  • @misterbigmouth Would this game have appeared on PC?

  • @WorgenAlcorn LOL ! your mum !!!! LOLOLOLOLOLO!

  • if i had to critique something i would comment on how i think the flash should be faster somehow, but really that's minor I know there are limits to games like this on how fast you can make something move and still control it all and all I'm sad that this was canceled! i saw the title and got excited now im sad all within 1 minute and 6 seconds WHAAAA!!!! i would have bought this without hesitation! flash is a favorite of mine :(

  • kinda reminds me of DC universe online..

  • @BxBaNgEr828

    DCU definitely ended up doing a lot of things we were trying to put into our game. I highly recommend playing it too especially now that's free. I just saw a blurb that Flash will be the focus of an upcoming expansion so it will probably be the closest you'll get to playing a Flash game for the foreseeable future.

  • will there ever be a chance of this game to come out

  • this game looked like it would've been amazing

  • Please somehow reboot this project the concept is amazing.

  • cade o download ?? bota ae manow o download

  • Game was cancelled. This video is showing how far they came with it. This is all in the description. Too bad because it looks like a really good game.

  • @velocity1979

    Thanks for the compliments. It was definitely coming along nicely. I wanted to specify again that the game wasn't "cancelled", at least not in the negative connotation kind of way. The game stopped production because the publisher went out of business. Everyone was really happy with the progress of the game and had that not happened you would have already been playing the game.

  • This game looks so fucking sick

  • is that wally or barry?

  • @hkaos

    At the time the game was being done, Barry was not back in the DC universe yet, so it was Wally.

  • when is this out?

  •  i dont know any game i should buy it for ps2

  • i hobe this game is in ps2

  • it may look great but i'm just afraid it will be as disappointed as Superman Returns back in the ps2. since they using new engine, it will be plenty of bugs.

  • only way for this to work is by having the game voiced

    by the original cast from the series and an updated

    version of the series and call it the son of the flash.

  • holy shit!!! i would buy the best pre order you can get!! try and make a complete bundle with the flash xbox and controllers

  • when is this game comming out cause it looks awsome

  • @Kyrov100 it got cancelled

  • Where Can I Get It ?

  • @IgOd425 to bad

  • I Want A GOOD Flash Game Cause Hes My Fav Superhero

  • Not Very Good Graphics

  • @IgOd425

    To reiterate what I've said many times here (and in the description of the video), this was only 6 months into production. Almost everything you see here was temp work so we could get stuff up and running. To give you a little insight into the world of making games, it is rare that anything that goes in right away into ANY game is final quality. You need to get assets into the game quickly to test out game play first and then everything gets finalized later in production.

  • THIS GAME LOOKS....terrible

  • omg why would they cancel this looks really good like seriously i would by this game it looks pretty fun and awesome :D did you guys ever add in the like fazing through walls and stuff cause flash can vibrate his molecules very quick?

  • seems like it would have had a good concept too bad you couldn't keep it going

  • Looks incredible, would have totally bought it

  • a video game based on the Flash, that would have been refreshing. especially if it had a Wii exclusive and no support for sony or microsoft. a huge expansive world, running at high speeds, and dispatching criminals to be locked up, this would have been a great game.

  • @RAPTOR948

    Uh...yeah keep dreaming for that. The Wii has no where near the horsepower to pull that off. The Wii port that we were planning on doing was going to have to be a pretty scaled back version of the 360/PS3 version we were making because it just can't handle things like the other boys can. It's still a cool machine, it's just not built to be a graphics powerhouse.

  • this remind me Pepsi Man from PSX.....hahaha....was a nice a fun game....

  • @elisangelagvieira Man! I was thinking of the same thing.

    PEPSI MAAAAAAAAAAN!

  • Wow. It actually looks like it would be fun to run all over this city. Too bad... =(

  • Wow it actually looks fun, i would love a DC game that wasnt Batman or Superman (i love those two heros and LOVED Arkham City to death) but i want a more range of DC Superhero games, it resembles Jets Set Radio Future and thats a good thing, so if you every do deicded to continue working on it, i'll be supporting you guys, hopes to this game getting made!

  • I could picture this getting released.

    Game Informer and all those other reviewing mags would shit all over this game because it vaguely resembles Sonic.

  • A shame they cancelled. I love these games where you can explore all the town. Also love the flash tv serie.

  • is it base on a flash movie?
