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.
