The PS1 beta is... eh. Much better than the N64 game.
To my knowledge this was being developed near the end of S64's time, this was what they were trying to redeem themselves as after a shitton of bad ideas from DC (unsurprisingly) for what a S:TAS game could be with shit like making it a sim city simulator with superman as a mayor.
People are just now noticing it I guess, or some e celeb on Youtube noticed it and started talking about a HIDDEN GEM
No, IIRC it was the actual ex-Titus developers rediscovering it on Twitter and making it known that the prototype had leaked. Neither them or DC really seem to give a fuck since it's a project that's been dead for 20+ years that was a clusterfuck during development.
I.... liked Hulk Ultimate Destruction.
June 22, 2000 is the build date of the prototype, not when it was dumped online.
Originally, the plan was that BigSky Software, a subsidiary of Titus, was going to port the game over to the PSX, though after the universally panned reception of the N64 game, it was decided they they would completely retool the game for the PSX. Things went smoothly for the most part, and the game went as far as accepting preorders from retailers and even being licensed and issued a product code by Sony. Around the same time however, they had lost the license for Superman from WB, but continued development without their assistance, in an effort to surprise them with a finished product and get the license back. Unfortunately for Titus, they were unsuccessful in doing so, forcing the game to be scrapped.
