That one's definitely in Production Hell, along with the Mahershala Ali Blade.


Is the Akira movie still in the works?

Last I heard, the suits at Warner don’t want to make it because they know they’ll screw it up. There was allegedly supposed to be an Akira scene (and a Pokemon one) in Space Jam 2 that got nixed by executives.

A bit more elaborate. LeBron and Bugs were originally supposed to find Lola in the Akira universe. Got nixed.

Engines certainly are one of the biggest places where games break down and why it's so important to have a good tech department. One of the reasons Cyperunk ate shit was because they needed to do an engine-wide upgrade to include first person view and a ton of new assets. Unreal 3 got a lot of attention during the 7th Gen, but to be honest it wasn't all that good due to it not playing well anything outside of shooters. With what Monolith Soft has been able to do so far is impressive, so I wonder what the next version of their engine is able to do
