An E3 of dreams would have to consist of a fully-realized Superman game, right? It seems like one must be announced soon, there's too much pointing in that direction. Hopefully a developer can deliver and bring the man of steel to consoles.
Adam Braunstein "Assassin's Creed Mirage is a very smart reboot, taking the series back to its roots. There are several other franchises that really need to take a leaf out of the same book."
RE: got soft-rebooted with REVII already
Batman: Well ... yeah the next Bats is least likely to be a continuation of Arkham ...
Battlefield: BF games seldom resemble their prequel counterparts ... most were mini-reboots sort of ...
Ghost Recon: YES! please, reboot and return to roots
Halo: yeah .... ok
personal additions:
F.E.A.R, Quake (a la Doom'16 style), Rainbow 6, DeadRising, .....
Resident Evil will need one eventually, our favourite old school characters are getting old in game and they won’t be around for much longer. Capcom should use a remake of the original Resident Evil as their reboot and update the game so the Arklay Mansion incident happens in the 2020s so the characters are young again. After this game they can do anything they want with Chris, Jill, Claire, Leon etc. Hopefully they won’t continue the new timeline in real time with us so the characters won’t age so quickly again.
Halo needs one because I think they’ve done so many novels and the like where they expect you to have read everything to understand their main games.
Same could be said for Kingdom Hearts, they expect to have played all the side games and even the current online game they have going on with the upcoming mobile game Missing Link. KH4 could have started a good softboot for the franchise but even in KH3 with Maleficent’s side plot where she was looking for the black box, those plot elements are from the MMO Kingdom Hearts X. It’s kind of a joke now how convoluted the story has become and yet they still continue to do it.
Assassins Creed needs to go back to the beginning and make a game what AC was all about. I thought AC Mirage would do that but the main character is someone introduced in Valhalla and the gameplay video I saw he could teleport, like it was some power similar to Dishonoreds “Blink” which is beyond silly for this kind of game, it’s not even the First Civilisations technology aswell.
Mass Effect is one but don’t include the reapers.
Strike Series needs one as nothing has come out since the PS1 days.
And maybe something from the Landstalker/Alundra lineage.
DC: Dark Legion has been announced for 2024 by FunPlus and Warner Bros.Interactive. It looks to deliver an immersive multiplayer experience.
James Gunn's DCU plans need to finally give Superman a proper gaming outing. By looking at the DC Comics lore, leaving Earth is the way to go for Kal-El.
The beginning of EAs Superman Returns was a good little side story that should have been explored more. Having to compete on War World was a great game level and could be expanded on even further.
As I have said before, there's zero reason why we can't have a good Superman game. Superman 64 proved this.
I feel like Gunn is prioritizing Superman this go-around. A game would make sense. Now more than ever.
At this point, I'm just curious to see if an adequate gameplay loop can be applied to Superman. I honestly don't know how you would handle the invincibility and huge assortment of powers. Do you depower him? Make up some story so he can behave more like a video game character? I don't know, there must be more creative ideas than that.
As long as it is better than the N64 Superman D:
It would be interesting to see what they came up with, but I would hope they would do it on VR. Now that could be awesome as long as it's done well. I also would agree that every superman game ever attempted suck. That's why I think a fresh start on VR would be the way to go with him.
They should just remaster Superman 64
I always thought the Superman Returns game had it right with Metropolis having a life bar rather than Superman. They could easily incorporate something like that.
