Throwing Digital Sheep discusses why it is currently near impossible to make a Superman game that stays true to the character.
Join John and Ryan on this week's episode of The Game Deflators Podcast as they dive into the intriguing world of Clair Obscur Expedition 33. Hear their thoughts on the The Last of Us Season 2, and explore the record-breaking success of the Final Fantasy Magic: The Gathering set, now the best-selling in history.
Honestly would be nice, but this game is such a complete product. I have been spending hours just cleaning up the mini bosses. I found such an over power build and when I got to Frozen Heart it was just EASY party the three dancers to 300k exp over and over.
I haven’t even gone to the Axons yet and I am pretty sure the rest of the game is going to be a cake walk. I beat sprong just a bit ago and MAN did I over kill. And NOW I got the cheater Picto? It’s over the enemy never getting a turn lol
Clair Obscur Expedition 33 has proven that there is an audience for turn based game play, but what else has been doing that all along?
Yea but what we need back is that classic square turn based combat and for AAA not to be afraid to go back to it. It is also just so frowned upon. Yet look at clair obscur, persona, and plenty of games that are beloved.
All I hear is there’s no loss in this style of game and we still have very quality options. Square did 14 turn based entries, not including the side games like world of final fantasy and other classic games that are turn based.
Square wants to evolve their engine and expand their styles. We really need to let them work it out, I don’t mind photo realistic action rpgs and anime ones like tales of franchise. Let’s just take it in strides and measure the content on what is delivered maybe?
i mean, ever since Final Fantasy move away from it, u really only had Atlus and Dragon quest 12.
its a shame that asquare feels the need to move away from it.
but im glad that exp33 brought it back, wkth alot of success.
like can u imagine ff16 or ff7 remake to be like that? daaaym.
what?
Sea of Stars, Eiyuden Chronicles, Triangle Strategy, Octopath, Bravely Default. DoS, Yakuza, xcom, marvel xcom and many, many (indie) games are turnbased. Most games i play nowadays are turnbased and I never ran out of good games to play.
Wasteland 3 is the only one I played of them and while I enjoyed it a lot, I had to wait a couple months to play because the loading times and bugs were unmanagable, really hope if they release a sequel they give it a bit more polish for launch, cause the game itself was hella fun.
I've always loved both turn-based and action rpgs. For me, it's the overall combat flow and mechanics that interest me more than whether I'm moving around or standing still.
I played 300+ hours of P3Reload, SMTVengence and Metaphor last year. And Metaphor was a GOTY contender last year. As was infinite wealth.
So i don't know where this Turn based games are dead narrative is coming from...
Xbox Cloud Gaming adapts to how you play—Touchscreen, controller, or mouse. Here’s how they’re helping devs support it all.
It really is a challenge bringing superman into a game. Interesting read. I think your best bet would be to create a justice league game and maybe utilize superman on a specific mission designed around him, I don't know. I do know that I'd rather have no superman game than another stinker.
Agreed. Basically the technology has not yet reached a point where we can have a superman game. You would have to be able to fly anywhere around the world, and also destroy anything. The only other way to do it is to remove all his powers at the start of the game, and for him to gradually gain them, with the last one being flight. But I'm not sur ethat would work either, it's way too cliche.
I would like a watchmen game from them .
I would love to see what they could do with the Judge Dredd universe.
I don't see what's so hard about a Superman game.
His abilities can be easily translated to weapon type actions seen in other games. We have already had numerous open world games where the character could fly from one point to the other.
Superman may be invulnerable but he is not invincible, so he can have a health bar and can be damaged by extreme means.
The only thing that would be a challenge is duplicating the amount of damage to your environment in the same way Superman II and Man of Steel did.
But who knows, if Crackdown turns out to be everything that is supposedly promised then we may have our answer to that problem.
