If Project H.A.M.M.E.R. still existed, this would be a preview of it

NeoGAFfer Shiggy has posted some more screenshots from the vaporous apparition that once had the name Project H.A.M.M.E.R., this time focusing on the in-game perspective. It's strange how disparate the action scenes look from the shots of architecture we were given: those screens were crisp, stylized, and made use of heavy, thick shadows, while the "real game" is, well, blurry. But next-gen blurry! It's like they were making two different games. Or, we suppose, it's like they put two different games on "indefinite hold".

As of now, it is still "indefinite hold" rather than "dead forever," so you can take these screenshots as a preview of a potential future game. At the very least, some guy is poking through the game getting some screenshots.

The game that almost was: Project H.A.M.M.E.R.

Oh, Project H.A.M.M.E.R. You were a go, then you weren't, then you were, and now? Officially, the last we heard was that the hammer-wielding hero's adventure was on "indefinite hold," but the word in the backchannels is that the game is no more. It is dead. It is an ex-game. And frankly, we are sad ... especially now that, thanks to NeoGAF poster Shiggy, we're seeing a little more from the probably-defunct title.

In these screens (and the video after the break) from the devkit, the game looks to have had a very distinctive feel, similar in a sense to No More Heroes (or perhaps more like Killer 7) ... or any number of stylized comic books we've seen over the years. In a word, it could have been gorgeous, and as a bonus, we could have been beating things with a hammer.

Project H.A.M.M.E.R. gets cold shoulder in Japan?


According to German gaming website GameFront, the latest issue of Famitsu is reporting that Project H.A.M.M.E.R. has been officially axed for Japan. This follows rumors that the game was going to be canceled altogether.

For us, we feel it's the right move, considering the demo we played back at E306 was not the least bit of fun. But, what about those of you hoping to get some intimate time with the title? Think this is the beginning of the end entirely for this game?
