It appears that Brash Entertainment had at least two superhero-themed videogames in the works before it closed. At least, that’s what the above vignette indicates if YouTube “director” misterbigmouth isn’t in the business of pulling legs via the Internet.
The footage is a raw reel of a videogame based on The Flash. The director makes it seem as though he worked for Brash, making small notes we can’t verify about the title both in the video’s description and comments. According to him, this title was six months into production with “about a year” to go in the studio before it was finished.
As you can see, it features a man dressed in red that can run fast, do car tricks without a car, collect rings and brawl with several enemies at the same time. It has the appearance of an open-world title, which seems to be the norm with superhero action titles.
When asked about a demo by a commenter in the video section, the director said Brash had several milestone builds complete, but, again, the game was a “good ways off from a public demo build.” Judging by the footage, yeah, it was a bitaways from being released for consumer consumption.
@hpv: You do realize this is alpha footage? Even Killzone 2 looked like this before they added the textures, lighting and effects. Those visual details only get applied after they've nailed down the basic gameplay.
I can only make 2 statements. 1) this is the sonic game we have all been waiting for. 2)i dont like the engine, they should restart with the burnout paradise engine, lol flash collisions would be funny.
@AdamantiumHip Go read the comments. Brash is the publisher, not the developer. It was being worked on by Bottlerocket, the people who had the new Splatterhouse taken from them.
I used to watch The Flash when I was a little kid, he was one of my favorite superheros.

When I was a young boy I used to hover my butt over the cold toilet seat before going poop and I'd say "LIKE THE FLASH!" before sitting on the seat to endure the cold. If I took my time to sit down it was always too cold and uncomfortable. I understand that fat kids never had this issue because they were being fed by their parents... I had no extra insulation on my ass. :(
This game looked like it would've been amazing. Also, I imagine that the route they would most likely take with the Speed Force would by having it be some sort of "rage" type mode where you just go all lightning and badass.

Oh and if you are remotely interested in The Flash then I recommend listening to the Tom Vs. The Flash Podcast
It is the best podcast on the internet.
