Gameplay footage from abandoned Batman game Gotham by Gaslight has surfaced.

Earlier this year, concept art emerged from a Gotham by Gaslight game pitched to THQ. Now, a source has provided Siliconera with video of an animation prototype allegedly from the same project. According to their report, the game was in development by Day 1 Studios, the developers behind FEAR 3 and Fracture, before being canceled.

Siliconera reports that the game was based upon Batman spinoff comic Gotham by Gaslight, a Batman story released in the 1980s and set in the Victorian era. The game "was designed with a foggy world for Batman to explore and he would have the ability to see in the dark. Day 1 Studios tried to work with THQ to publish the game, but after an unsuccessful pitch Gotham by Gaslight was canned."

They should get it going again, the graphics in that video looked pretty good and it wasn't even done proberly yet. Even the way he was walking with the cape moving around was boss IMO. Petition to get it finished and released?

I'm actually pretty happy with arkham city and asylum. However, that cape is truly epic, lol.

This game looks really awesome, reminds me a bit of the spider-man Noir bits in shattered dimensions, but y'know, a billion times more awesome since it's batman :D
