Snake Plissken Almost Had A Video Game To Rival Metal Gear

A former Namco developer recently uploaded this milestone video of early footage from a cancelled Snake Plissken game that was in development at the Namco's Bay Area studio, developers of the first Dead to Rights and innovative cover shooter Kill Switch, in 2003 and 2004.

Tentatively titled Snake Plissken's ESCAPE, the video's description says the game featured Kurt Russell's likeness, and a nearly finished campaign design with a storyline approved by the Escape franchise's principle creatives—Russell, John Carpenter, and the late Debra Hill.

Holy crap... I would still pay for this game. The article does not really say what happened to it but... Damn, someone should be getting the right and doing it GTA style
