A while ago, after the closing of THQ Australia, it was revealed that an Avengers game, presumably to go in line with the movie, was cancelled. However, a recent gameplay demo of a pre-alpha build of the game was leaked, showing a game that was to go above and beyond a normal video game movie tie-in.
The game is a first person team-based action game, featuring the four main Avengers of the upcoming film (Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, and Captain America). Each character has unique abilities, such as Iron Man's flight and the Hulk's ability to throw enemies. The demo mainly shows off Iron Man and the Hulk's moves, but also shows a bit of Captain America and Thor's abilities.
The game also seems to have had some sort of RPG leveling system, with each player gaining experience from kills and moves. It may have people drawing some connections to RPG FPS Borderlands.
The demo, however, is brief and definitely an early build (as seen by some unsightly graphics), but shows the Avengers taking on some Skrull. The game is relatively visceral, showing blood and screen splatter effects.
Hopefully the game will be revived but the odds of it seem rather slim, at least in this incarnation.[/p]
