Vi har stadig ikke noget rigtig godt Iron Man-spil, men selvom at EA tilsyneladende arbejder på et, så er det ikke den eneste gang at et stort studie har prøvet kræfter med IP'en. Faktisk viser det sig, at studiet bag Just Cause-serien, Avalanche Studios, brugte hele to år på at udvikle et spil, der nu aldrig vil udkomme.
I et interview med MinnMax fortæller tidligere Avalanche-chef Christofer Sundberg, at de arbejdede med Disney og Marvel på et stort Iron Man-spil tilbage i 2012, men i sidste ende var de to virksomheder for besværlige at arbejde sammen med.
"It was, I was a mess by the end. It was like, shortening development time, increasing budget, we would have to hire 70 or 80 people to the team that I would have had the responsibility to find a new project for. But the development time was shortened down so much so it was impossible to do. It would have broken the studio completely if we had agreed to that."
"At the end of a project when the team is scaling down, that's when you have to find a new project, and with that one year of development time cut from the original plan, it would mean that I had one year less to find a new project for a big development team which would have been impossible, and hiring all those developers would have been a complete nightmare, so it was for the best."
Sundberg mener dog at projektet kunne have fungeret.
