SUPERMAN...please let it be Superman

toxic-inferno4089d ago

A good Superman game would be extremely difficult to make. However, the same could have been said for a Batman game 5 years ago...

If it is a DC game, I seriously hope that they use the mould of the Arkhamverse to shape it. I can imagine that the freeflow combat would work brilliantly for a Superman game.

The last superman movie tie-in, though wasn't really successful, looked pretty good. The flying mechanics were very well done, and I'm sure it will be great using the tech we have now. All they have to do is work on the game mechanics, enemies and a good story. But it definitely has a lot of potential.

@ cyborg47

Actually, after reading your comment, I'm fairly convinced. While the gliding sections of Arkham City weren't exactly "flying", a lot of the same mechanics could be used, such as the "drop attacks" that Batman could perform.

As a Batman fan, I'd still prefer another Arkham game (maybe where part of the game sees you returning to the abandoned Asylum to hunt for a villain in the ruins). But pretty much any DC hero game would be great!

I would love a superman game if done correctly. The only problem I have is that it's almost impossible to make SM into a game. The world would have to be GTA size and scale at least. The thugs need to be realistic, and not like spider-man type of fighting. Think about how GTA works when you break the law and the police come down on you then the FBI then the military. Superman would be the last one to end it all, we need AI that is ready for superman and his powers. Not just robots and aliens, I would like a world that I have to choose between saving the women being attacked or the kids in a burning building on different end of the city.

The detail needed has to be with how well superman is able to protect the city and it's people. Flying someone to the hospital when they just got in a car wreck should be the hard choice that while you are en-route you see a hostage scene taking place and decide which is more important.

Imagine a Dam breaking and having to devert the water or stop it with ice breath before it wipes out a small camping grounds filed with people. Or having to fly and detect a lost child in the woods. It would need seasons and weather that can affect your powers. At night it's easier for your energy to be drained and not heal as quickly.

Maybe Lex covers the sun with a Red film that lowers your powers like in the cartoons. How about someone like the flash challenging you to a foot race? Or wonder women to a test of strength? It would be a more living world not just about stopping robots every few mins.

Sadly a good superman game is rare and some of them are huge flops or evil to some gamers so it would be good to see something new and good for superman.

Also if its not up to them an Aquaman game that could make him cool and so people will hate him less.

InMyOpinion4089d ago

A Lobo game would peak my interest.

It might be DC Universe Online 2 as well.

WildStyles4089d ago

It's going to be the Justice League people.

KillrateOmega4089d ago

I hope that's it's not Arkham 3. Rocksteady has been doing so well with the Arkham series so far.

Heisenburger4089d ago

I'm not saying that this is what I want(because I don't) but I heard of the success that the green arrow show has had, so maybe him.

I also heard that Deathstroke is in it. Considering that he is one of my faves I guess I should give the show a chance.

I just wonder if they mean DEATHSTROKE, or some guy named Slade Wilson like in Smallville. Boy was that a kick in the teeth.

They really mean they are pivoting to slot machines on mobile devices.

CrimsonWing69161d ago

I don’t think there ever was a time for GaaS. Its entire resistance is revolved around making a game that generates recurring revenue constantly throughout its lifetime. It’s straight up a corporate scumbag design.

I watched the video seeing if anything changed since the initial Suicide gameplay vid before the delay and it looks the same. So weird watching all the characters just start a gun to their back and bounce super high shooting with no kick-back animation in an empty dead world. The voice acting is cringe and there doesn’t have any sense of atmosphere or immersion like the Arkham games.

And they expect you to pay $70 to $100 for this and then pay more for Battle Passes and items to make grinding less a chore. Yea, no thank you. I hope you learn a hard lesson with this one.

yea, because thats what people want, especially after those games sold millions and are not live service games haha.

so dumb haha.

Abriael169d ago

Genius executives at work. "hey, what we're doing is working great. Let's change it."

LOGICWINS169d ago

"Invasions" is technically free live service game with new content every 45 days. It's the best mode MK has ever had IMO. As a single player gamer, it gives me a reason to stick around after the story mode.

garos82168d ago

You have a terrible taste in games

-Foxtrot168d ago

I feel like their whole approach relies on how the Suicide Squad sells

Flewid638168d ago (Edited 168d ago )

Wait....why does live service = bad?

Oh great, looking forward to the sh*t future of gaming. Thanks industry!

PunksOnN4G169d ago

New mk sold less then the last in the same time frame the NEW MK is legit a live service game with its horrible monopoly board. I just wanted a normal title...

FatalityX77169d ago

It's not on older hardware, so that's why it seems less. No ps4/xbox one versions.

Sgt_Slaughter169d ago

I doubt older hardware would make a difference, given the ratios of sales of other multi-gen games

PunksOnN4G168d ago

Nah the new MK full of live service shit even the singleplayer monopoly board they gave use instead of a normal kyrpt says enough and sales reflect that also this MK is very combo heavy it not noob friendly what's so ever like others

Flewid638168d ago

Wasn't the last one a live service game?

MehmetAlperTR168d ago

More live services.. LOL.. i hope you ll see the deep.
