Kane99 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 This is pretty cool. I guess there was an Iron Man game in the works from the team at Genepool Software, which was later closed by Activision, in turn scrapping said Iron Man game in the process. One of the devs who was working on the game, decided to share some screenshots and info on the game. It would have released sometime in 2003, or was worked on in 2003. It had a working title of The Invincible Ironman. But it was scrapped by Activision and then the studio was shut down.

Lens Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Wow, this is really a blast from the past. For me, it's more like finding a rare gem in a treasure chest. The screenshots look so amazing, and I keep imagining how cool it would be playing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Let me just remind everyone else that Superhero games back then were absolutely tragic and this likely would've suffered a similar fate so maybe some things are better left alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lens Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 The Invincible Iron Man game sounds like it had a very good potential and it's a shame that it was scrapped. But the developer was able to give us a glimpse into this lost game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Button Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 The Invincible Iron man was an interesting title and it's indeed a shame that it never saw the light of day. Who knows how it would have turned out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows how it would have turned out? My guess is it'd be at best a mediocre game. Please bear in mind that most superhero games pre-Arkham flopped pretty hard and even now, most modern releases were pretty terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Button Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 The canceled Iron Man game, The Invincible Ironman could have been a very amazing experience. But it's a pity how things later turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, The Punisher game and Hulk game for the PS2 that came out in the 2000s were both pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, maybe it would have been another forgettable title or a hidden gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m very sure that there is a motive behind the developers talking about them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
