Today on Game History Secrets we talk about the Green Lantern's Cancelled Super Nintendo (SNES) Game by Ocean Software. The game had a troubled development, featuring a lack of direction, shake-ups from DC Comics, and ultimately a lack of confidence in an aging platform.
Liam Robertson is a video game researcher and archiver. In his spare time, Liam creates videos and articles for various outlets, and will also be contributing to the Did You Know Gaming channel.

I’d kill for an AAA Green Lantern game. I love the idea of being able to customize your own, given how many human Green Lanterns there have been. With Suicide Squad finally getting their due and the Green Lantern Corp HBO Max series coming out, maybe it’s possible. The IP has such potential.

@John Collins Almost no one in the gaming industry with the funding for a Triple A game is going to put the care and attention into the game that it would need, and executives and sponsors are going to demand changes and compromises for the sake of profitability. The Triple A industry is on a teetering point where they cost too much to be profitable without loot boxes, because the fact that they can have loot boxes means they're more willing to inject extra money into the project. Especially for an open world game with customizable characters, which presents too much opportunity for random unlockable cosmetics and core content locked behind a paywall like the final few missions of the game or something.

But even IF they vetoed the "Superman has to collect his powers Metroid style", which is admittedly not a great idea, the fact that he couldn't fight any enemies, use any powers other than strength or flight, and that the game was set in a "virtual reality" world were all orders from higher-ups. If they had backed off a bit, the game could have at least been playable.

@@TheZackofSpades The QA work was something I loved.. I happened to be rather good at it which helped, and of course, I still play games to this day. My main hope with QA was to be able to make the games "better" - offer ideas for game play and related mechanics and see any games I worked on go up against others that were out there.. However - The only one where I know a QA Tester actually got credited for any of that was WETRIX on the N64 ... If you look in the manual my real name is there as I designed and came up with the "Rainbow Multiplier" effect and mechanic. I recently did some work for Milky Tea Games on the PC version of HYPER BRAWL TOURNAMENT .. which is out on most formats now. I just wish companies these days actually had QA testers who knew what they were doing - as it seems far too many just think its "Sitting there and playing a game" rather than actually doing any of the testing work (Just look at the QA list for a Bethesda game). I cannot believe ANY half way competent or decent QA tester would want their names associated with some of the bug-filled abominations released by Bethesda.. but there you go. :)

@@TheZackofSpades Its been "dying off" for years .. infact recently there have been a lot of "Devs react to speed runners" videos - with game devs astonished at how broken and easily bypassed some of their own game engines actually are... however whilst not a all speed running tricks can be tested for ( as the speed running community is a LOT bigger than most outsourced QA bodies) many of the more obvious game breaks are very easy to test for as part of QA done by people who know how to QA. QA was never a skill held in much regard - even at Ocean - with one person memorably saying "testers are nothing more than chimps" or something very similar - its been a few years.. Of course though you are correct in noticing something that is almost self evident these days - QA is not done by QA outsourcing teams - who seem to have no idea what a bug actually is, it is done by the player base when the game is released. Why does anyone think the rise in day 1 or week 1 "patches" are so prevalent ? Notice the size of the 'patch' - its actually the next reassembled version of the game with some fixes in it. :/

18:19 Speaking of that, and to go a bit off-topic… I believe someone who worked on Sonic 2 had mentioned that a fully complete level layout for Wood Zone was created, but never fully implemented (maybe from the level's designer Brenda Ross?)… Based on the hacks that I've seen that includes the level, it seems that the aforementioned concept map has never been publically displayed anywhere. Worst case scenario is that it's as lost as Sonic 1's TTS demo.

I don't know if I recall the whole deal with Wood Zone, but I don't believe we have any evidence it ever got beyond the small snippet seen in one of the prototypes; at least in terms of what was actually programmed into the game. You might be thinking of Cyber City Zone/Genocide City Zone, which had its whole layout finished, then all the art assets were scrapped and it was reused as Metropolis Zone Act 3.

In terms of gameplay and aesthetic, a 16-bit Green Lantern game would be awesome, but in terms of story, the 90's weren't a great time to do it. In the modern era, Green Lantern's mythos is largely defined by the emotional spectrum and the various Lantern Corps, which didn't exist back then (Star Sapphire had yet to be retconned into a Violet Lantern). Instead, the 90's Green Lantern books had Hal Jordan's city being destroyed, him killing the entire Corps after they stripped him of his badge, and Kyle Rayner's girlfriend introducing the concept of "Women in Refrigerators".

Man if only they had made all three games, even if they were crap I would have been thrilled to see it. Honestly if it's technically finished I'd say put it on limitedrungames and make a release. WB could use the licensing money anyways :)

Imagine dropping a lucrative comic book franchise and going with a craptacular, money-hemorrhaging Kevin Costner movie instead. Still love me some Ocean® games though. They did the Amiga version of Worms. Or Team17 did and Ocean produced it. I might also have that backwards. Who knows, it's been years.

We'll sadly never get a green lantern game because people will say the constructs will be too limited or they'll play it safe and boring...same problem the green lantern game from 2011 had.

Was the original game ever found? I mean technically it was done, would of been nice to see their work, I mean the "R-type" Shmup level was enough for me and the whole bug planet story sound like a like a decent action platformer..

Most of the music, such as this, is from the SNES Green Lantern soundtrack. Look it up on KZbin and all the songs are there. There's not many so you should be able to find it easily.

Here's something that shouldn't be a secret: Most if not all of the imagery from the comics shown is of Green Lantern Hal Jordan, while the Green Lantern pictured as the player character in game is clearly Kyle Rayner.
