A geeky chat with a friend made me recall the announcement of this would-be-masterpiece:

With Prison Break nearing completion, ZootFly today announced it secured the official Mr. T graphic novel license from Mohawk Media.

ZootFly will develop a series of games packed with the trademark over-the-top adrenaline-pumping action of Mr. T.

The games will feature knuckle-whitening action-adventure, furious brawler combat, gravity-defying platforming, and environmental puzzles.

The first game will see Mr. T take on Nazis and their gigantic machines in the varied universe of South American rain forests, lost ancient cities, industrial complexes and contemporary military installations.

Along with Mr. T and other characters from the graphic novel, the game will feature none other than Will Wright. In this universe, Will Wright is not a top-notch game designer but a top-notch American geneticist who was kidnapped and coerced to work on a diabolic plan. Mr. T and Will Wright will join forces to annihilate the Nazis and their hardware.

Platforms include PS3, Xbox360, Wii and PC.

Alas, it's been five years and I haven't played this jewel to inebriated glory, because as far as I know, absolutely nothing else has been said about it since it was announced. Does anyone have any info on this?
Too good for this world, surely.

I pity the fool that forgets about great games such as these.

But seriously, it just vanished! Kinda like that alleged Bob Ross Wii game.

Same people that made Prison Break? Oh shit, we gotta hope this has been canned.

The first chapter had something to do with his mother. The scenario was too long and the devs ran out of time.

Persona7 · Apr 20, 2014

Oh yeah, I remember that announcement.

Lucumo · Apr 20, 2014

Hm, this makes me remember the Mr. T WoW commercial.

Oh hey, that was another one I was keeping an eye on...There was so much unexplored potential in motion controls, let alone now that technology is there to make them more refined....But I disgress.

Aw man. Do they still have the license, though?
