Edit:
Midway shutting down? Too bad, didn't really like their games anway - apart from Area 51, Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe maybe Blacksite, but they didn't really develop any real blockbuster of a game.
[QUOTE=simkas;27477142]After reading a bit about this, it seems that the game isn't actually dead. A company called "Phosphor games" , which seems to be made up of many ex-midway staff is working on a game supposedly called "Awakened", which seems to be pretty much the same thing as Hero.

I think the "unannounced" game there is Awakened, considering that the picture of it looks extremely similar to something from one of those trailers.

In fact, those videos appear to be actually of Awakened, not Hero.[/QUOTE]
please baby jesus let this be true
Warping ninja girl in video 2 was pretty darned awesome.
Wow, looks like it could be awesome if well executed.
[QUOTE=General;27480041]Why was this cancelled? It's pure gold.[/QUOTE]
Midway ran out of money.
The game is NOT canceled anymore though, it just have been renamed Awakened and is being developed by a new devteam mainly based on Midway developers.
This is amazing. Seems like a Next-gen-3rd person game of Hero X.
If anyone else played it other than me :frown:
That looked pretty awesome, but when was the last time superheroes used guns?

Phosphor game studios.
This reminds me of X-Men
[QUOTE=Xokiller65;27474403]Reminded me of psi ops[/QUOTE]
Reminded me more of jerico with customization options.

This reminds me of InFamous, but in a more open way concerning your character.
This reminds me of [B]-super hero game-[/B]
Hopefully if this does come out it will show people what a hero game should be like.
first trailer reminded me of bioshock, and the second of prototype
RIP Midway :(
My childhood

Let this be true, :ohdear:
Sigur ros music is overused in trailers now, I'm quite sick of hearing it. The game looked to have potential if I had a lot of polish done to it, shame its cancelled.
Hancock put me into a super hero mood, now so has this... Dammit world get more super heroes...
I forsee thousands of hooded, angsty heroes if they give it multplayer

From the look of those screen shots on their home page, it looks like you're right. It seems it's going to be using the Unreal Engine, also. This is great, an amazing game like this should never go undeveloped.

I want to be one.
:smith:
Looks like another generic superhero freeroam in a city game.
So it was a game based on the show Heroes?

The storyline for the game, according to the walk-through, involves a natural disaster that leaves thousands dead and a city in chaos.[/quote]
Sounds almost exactly like infamous with customizable powers.
