Led by Spider-Man 2 technical director Jame Fristrom, who created the game's swinging mechanic, Energy Hook is a game that combines the "swinging and parkour from games like Spider-Man 2, Prototype andBionic Commando mixed with the racing and trick challenges of SSX or Tony Hawk." Fristrom is joined by Paul Whitehead, who contributed art for Spider-Man, Sly Cooper, and Guild Wars.
The team is planning to launch a Kickstarter for the project on Dec. 8th, but until then, you can check out the trailer they've made featuring the prototype below:
