Gen13 gameplay on PS1 [HD]

Gen 13 for the PlayStation.
THE STORY:
A computer lab technician working on a top secret weapon for the government was planning to steal the information and sell it to Ivana for a king’s ransom. While trying to leave with the stolen CD-Roms he stored the information on, the technician had a mishap with Queelocke, Freefall’s teleporting critter friend.
Unexpectedly, the technician was whisked away to an unknown location, and his CD’s were scattered randomly around the world.
Queelocke returned to La Jolla, Gen13’s current home, with a CD. Lynch was able to determine the contents, and realized the threat posed if these CD’s fell into the wrong hands. The Gen13 team must get them back.
Meanwhile, Ivana finds herself a little upset that her CD’s have not been handed over. She immediately initiates a search of her own, no holds barred.
With the help of Queelocke, the Gen13 team will scour the globe in attempt to retrieve the CD’s before Ivana. It is up to the player to succeed, gathering as many CD’s as possible. Ivana’s troops won’t give up easy, however, and are bound to snag a few CD’s themselves. It is inevitable that the Gen13 team will face Ivana in the end to re-capture the final CD’s.
CANCELLATION:
After just a few months of programming, Gray Matter developed two polished interactive levels, an arena mode, and FMV for both the PlayStation and PC. Three different characters were created for the two side-scrolling levels as well as enemies. Four characters and an enemy Boss were programmed for the Arena mode. Below are screenshots from the interactive PlayStation beta versions.
Unfortunately the agreement between Gray Matter and Electronic Arts reached an impasse due to business politics. As a result Gray Matter closed down therefore ceasing all projects and all employees losing their jobs. Due to the amount of money spent and the popularity of Gen13 wavering, EA decided it was not financially feasible to engage another developer and instead decided to cut their losses. Fortunately many of the former Gray Matter employees who lost their jobs were hired by EA Canada and went on to develop Knockout Kings.

Damn, shame this was never finished. I would love a comic style like video bames. Danger Girl was pretty cool. Anyone know more comic like games that are not Marvel and DC?

[@PlayStationMuseum]

Youngblood but that was never finished either.

[@CrimRui]

@@PlayStationMuseum Shame. Hope more comes some day. Thank you.

[@thunderwolf2005]

Spawn, Ninja Turtles, Judge Dredd and Hellboy being the main ones I can think of off the top of my head. They've all had a few decent games, but I imagine you already know most of those. Then there's WildC.A.T.S. for the snes, they made a god awful Druuna game for PS1, and if you're into more comedy style games, The Tick, Garfield, Darkwing Duck, and The Mask have all had 1 snes game that was at least decent. Oh, Battle Chasers for you Red Monika fans. You mentioned that Danger Girl game, aaaannndd I think that's about all I know of. Probably missing a bunch, but I can't think of them.

You think we'll ever get comic based videogames again that aren't marvel or dc?

[@YDJumpstyle]

Amazing

As interesting as this is, I'm glad this got cancelled, lol. It's so unengaging. Like, it's unfinished but even if you polish it up, this looks like such a bland and unfun sidescroller. Even if you fixed everything up, there's nothing to the traversal or action that would've been anything more than the bare minimum running, jumping and punching people. Gen13 deserved a more inspired/ambitious game for sure... they still do, let's be honest. It's a cool property.
It is a really neat find though, and it's always great to see PS Museum drop a new video! Thanks for sharing this

[@joescomics7652]

Awesome!!!

[@PlayStationMuseum]

Thanks! Have you heard of Gen 13? Up until this game, I never heard of it. Bought a dozen of the comics afterwards and enjoyed them though.

[@joescomics7652]

@@PlayStationMuseum Kinda, looks cool though!!!

[@PlayStationMuseum]

It really is a shame that EA scrapped it because although what you see is an early prototype, it had tremendous potential and even this early in the development, the gameplay was smooth. I'll remind you that this is the same developer of the horrendous game The Crow. It would have been their redemption had it been completed. I believe that EA ultimately cancelled it because the comic book didn't end up as popular as they thought it would. I have illustrations that Jim Lee provided for the game that I wanted to post on here but they are stuck in storage. Another obscure fact is that Traci Lords, known mostly for adult movies, provided music for the game. Unfortunately that music is copyrighted so it couldn't be included in the video.

[@joescomics7652]

@@PlayStationMuseum Interesting facts, I've been wanting to make a game with PS1/N64 style graphics.
One, a superhero game,
The other a scary game!
Though currently I'm involved in a visual novel game jam.
So the superhero and scary game's will be next!
