Factor 5 speaks out on 'Superman' game


Last week's closure of Brash Entertainment left a number of unanswered questions lingering, and as thrilled as we are that Saw is still set to get its game on, we're more curious to find out if Superman survived the publisher's swift implosion. The Man of Steel was allegedly the subject of a deal between Brash and Factor 5 earlier this year, and MTV Multiplayer recently caught up with the Lair developer's president, Julian Eggebrecht, to find out more.

While the exec admitted that Factor 5 is working on "several" multi-platform and Wii-specific titles, he stopped just short of admitting that the studio is developing a game based on Superman. "One of our large-scale multi-platform projects was started with Brash because it is a dream property for us, hasn't been given its dues in gaming since the Atari 2600, and has a huge universe to draw from," teased Eggebrecht, who added that "things are obviously in flux and we hope that the game proves to be as indestructible as our hero..."

Though still unconfirmed, it seems fairly obvious that Factor 5 has its sights set on the son of Jor-El. We just hope that there's something left of him after his current cross-universe beatdown.

Several Wii-exclusive titles from one of the biggest developers there is?  Yes, please! 

Though I'm less excited about the prospect of another Superman game...


Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I seem to recall Sony signing a deal with them for a handful of exclusives. I guess they dropped 'em after Lair.

At sentence one, we'll see how that works out. Personally, I liked Rogue Leader. That's about it for over a generation. The rest strike me as beautifully polished...turds.

At sentence two, I hope it's true. My friend used to work with Santa Cruz games when they were making Superman Returns. Now he's working at Factor 5. If this Superman also turns out to suck...oh, the fun we'll have.



What games have these guys made? Anything half decent?



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

It's a mixed record.  The most impressive stuff they've put out is Rogue Squadron I-III.

Tetris Party Friend Code = 116129046416 (ditto)

I hope the wii-exclusive games are not just party games..... or lair status.
