Justice League: Unleashed

Hey everyone, i was thinking the other day about Ps2 game i finished for the 3rd time last month...it's **Justice League Heroes** (Don't judge me)
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

and thought to my self
Why we didn't have JL game on Ps3/360/pc ?!
the first problem was how to make a game about Superman
the 2nd problem is how big the game have to be to fit the 7 memebers of JL (Batman,Superman,WonderWoman,M M,Flash,Green Lantren,Arrow)
3rd problem is about boss fights
4th problem is about gameplay
Last problems the plot/story
a someone who can't get hurt at all (Which is completely wrong...but hang on i will get to that later)
so i sit with my self thinking of how it's possible
----------------------------- ------------------------
----------------------------- ------------------------
Developer:
----------
Rocksteady.

1.The Plot:(I thought of it while i was typing the blog...so have mercy)
-----------
The story take place after JL became offical team by 3 years
Where lex luther became the president of the USA and frame a crime for the JL and consider the JL as out-law group and had to be taken down
he give the army weapons to deal with Superman and can hurt him with red solar radiation and Kryptonite weapons
the JL decide to not give up
Batman want turn the table on Lex Luther so he is looking for clues to prove that Lex is not the great man who want to save the people from The JL
but Lex brought Suicide Squad and told them to get rid of both Batman and SuperMan after that he went to Arkham and put mind control device on all Batman enemies BUT The Joker and give order to end Batman life and on top of that he give Amanda the order to release Doomsday after Supeman but only after she plant a mind control evice inside Doomday so Lex can control him and after that he put a bounty on all the rest of JL memebers
The Suicide Squad went after Superman nd all of them got weapons that can hurt and kill Superman like red solar radiation and Kryptonite weapons
While all Arkham went after Batman
Mainwhile,Brainiac/Darkside gather a group of Superman enemies like Mongol,Lobo,Kalibak among others and they want to invade earth to kill Superman
Darkside want to turn Earth in Apocalypse 2.0 and Brainiac want to gather everything about the earth and seeking civilizations to shrink and abduct, which he then adds to his collection of captured worlds.
and later on The JL face Lex's USA army all that before the invasion
after that they face off with the invasion army and take to the fight to Darkside in his Home
after that Batman had enough evidence and videos to prove that Lex is the one who unleashed doomsay and he is the one who Framed the crime for JL

2.The map:
----------
This isn't really that big of deal this gen looking at how many games go for the very big maps
Gotham City:
all it need to be is as big as Arkham Knight map or maybe a little bigger

Metro City:
Same thing too and both beside each other
and you can travel easily between the two by flying with Wonderwoman,Superman,MM,Green Latren or Flash running and Batman usin his Batwing

3.Gameplay:
------------
Arkham Combat System can work on Flash,Batman,Arrow,WonderWoman
Superman,Martian Manhunter,Green Lantren can have gameplay similer to DragonBall Xenoverse/Saint seiya gameplay but with far better animations in bossfight while have them have the gameplay of Destiny warriors gameplay when facing large group of enemies
and it will make you fight hard as superman when he is facing enemies with red solar radiation and Kryptonite weapons...or enemies with yellow entity of fear known as Parallax given by Sinestro to Darkside Army
the USA armyusing flamethrower on Martian Manhunter etc etc
you guys get the idea
and all of them have their own side missions and you can switch between them like GTAV

Boss Fights:
------------
Batman,Flash,Green Arrow,Wonder Woman can have Boss fights similar to Arkham Origins
Flash final fight is against his arch enemy *Zoom* who have the same powers of flash and have that fight with few QTE as the final fight
and Mirror Master,Glider,Captain Boomerang,Trickster throughout the his playthrough
WonderWoman face off with Darkside Son
Batman fights with the whole Suicide Squad/Batman Enemies throughtout the whole game as bossfights
Arrow face off with DeadShot/Count Vertigo/Merlyn/Brick with Merlyn as final fight
With Batman Facing the Joker and later go wear HellBat and face Lex Luther (In his power armor)
Superman Fight with Doomsday need to take place in Metro City while have the plot to have the city evacuated so they can go nuts on each other while having the gameplay of DragonBall Xenoverse
Green L fight with Sinestro take place outside of earth
Martian Manhunter final fight with is with Mongol but have him in place full of fire around him to make the fight make fun
Superman fight with Brainiac and up rip his head off
then later face DarkSide with Darkside as the Final Boss Fight in the game with DragonBall Xenoverse style of gameplay or Saint seiya

uh....that's all i can think of
So what you guys think ?!
I would welcome any better ideas :)

It would be easy to make a game about Superman. My question is how do you make a game about the Flash?

If Marvel Ultimate Alliance can fit near almost the whole Marvel Universe I'm sure these consoles will have no problem fitting seven playable JL members in a game.

Is this a brawler type of game similar to Transformers: Devestation? I like the idea of each JL member fighting and controlling differently. Batman, Green Arrow and possibly other gadget type heroes would use the Arkham style of combat, Superman, Wonder Woman, Shazaam would be the brawlers with Green Lantern and Flash being more of a zoning type of characters.

I doubt Superman would rip Brainiac's head off, that is very uncharacteristic of him to do this.

Wonder Woman should face the Furies, Silver Swan or Ares.

**It would be easy to make a game about Superman. My question is how do you make a game about the Flash?**

Flash would be amazing using Arkham Combat like i said and give him side missions where he face off with his enemies and save people
you can give each character 10 or less side missions
that give you a 70 side missions in the game
and he can run from Gotham to Metro city like Lego games or Prototype style of running
as for the flying Super hero they can use the flying system from Superman Return (do you remember that game?!)

**If Marvel Ultimate Alliance can fit near almost the whole Marvel Universe I'm sure these consoles will have no problem fitting seven playable JL members in a game.**

Great games...i wish they make part 3
DC made a game with that type it called "JL heros" you can see the link in my blog
but i want something different than that

Yeah, have Batman looking for clues about Lex are only in the cutscenes but it's indeed brawler
but if you think about it WonderWoman would fit better in Arkham combat (think about Batgirl combat system but with far more impact and power like she can use a combat takedown where she lift an enemy and fly in the air and slam him to the ground or use the rope to slam them or through them)than Destiny warriors which i think fit Superman,Green Lantren,Martian Manhunter more because their powers

and what do you think about
Batman,Flash,Green Arrow,Wonder Woman can have Boss fights similar to Arkham Origins and Superman,Martian Manhunter,Green Lantren can have gameplay similer to DragonBall Xenoverse/Saint seiya gameplay but with far better animations in bossfight

BTW what do you think of the plot i made ?!

Why go the whole "mind control" route? Luther is President, has Waller and the SS, so just set it in the wake of Injustice with Waller discovering the details of an alternate universe's Superman going rouge and reporting that to the new President who just so happens to be looking for an excuse to start a cold war against Superheroes.

And the issue with a Superman game is the same as always: even a grunt armed with Kryptonite isn't going to be as much of a threat as Doomsday. Likewise Superman isn't going to need half a dozen punches to drop one or a dozen goons.

[Ezz2013]

That's a very cool idea too

Now about "Mind Control"
The mind control for Arkham asylum so they don't go rouge on Lex later
and mind control for Doomsday
so that Lex can stop him before he destroy the whole earth
have him do one mission and that is to kill Superman and get back to base.

as for Superman
this is why i have the army with weapons that can hurt him alot with the gameplay style from Destiny warriors ...so you can have as many as possible who can hurt him badly but with better AI than those games.

[Godmars290]

Mind control on any level is too cliche.

You've got Lutor as President, Amanda Waller one of the most amoral if not brilliant tacticians in the DCU next to Batman, the Suicide Squad...and Cadmus, a covert counter-hero arm of the government, mounting up against Superman and the JLU.

Have Luther or Waller using underworld/covert connections to create a "Legion of Doom" which targets the JLU and Superman in particular. A suspicious Batman sees that they're too well organized and funded, have leaders who are ex-SS, investigates one of their labs and suddenly he's in a boss fight with a henchmen who's also a Doomsday hybrid. That running boss fight becomes a delaying tactic for Wonderman to come in and things further escalate as more hybrids start showing up. By the time Superman has to be called in its revealed that Darsid's been supplying Luthor with cells from Doomsday as part of a scheme to take over, Brainic's been doing it in order to subvert himself into Earth's networks through Cadmus, just anything other than mind control.

[Ezz2013]

That's far better than my own plot.

I had been looking out for this post after you mentioned you were writing it but for some reason it didn't pop up until just now. You've got some great ideas, I can definitely picture them happening in a quality JL game for sure. I do think I'd take the Lex angle out of the running entirely, it kinda makes it almost too big & complex. The simplest thing would be to just make Brainiac the main antagonist & have him employ one main villain per hero w/ quick cameos from others maybe? Save Lex for a mainline Superman game, because he's too big a villain to take a back seat to any others & Brainiac would be a better villain to encompass the entire League.

As far as Metropolis & Gotham as full open worlds that would have fast travel between the two I got to thinking about your idea of Brainiac being the main villain...considering he's always like to bottle up worlds, what if he bottled up the main home cities of each hero? You could have WW's Themescyria, Batman's Gotham, Supes' Metropolis, Aquaman's Atlantis & GL's Coast City all in peril bottled up by Brainiac. Considering that'd be a lot of open worlds for any dev to pull off by making each one of them their own seperate huge place, maybe this time he throws them all in the same bottle, so that when you traverse the maps you can be in the dingy Gotham setting & see the huge shining skyscrapers of Metropolis in the distance...you'd have multiple different settings w/ it's own Easter eggs pertaining to that hero, but they'd all be traversible in the same map. Can't remember what story but I recall Hal Jordan as Parallax destroying Coast City (later revealed to be under some mind control), so that would be a cool sequence, where his section of the city was destroyed entirely.

A JL game will be a huge undertaking for any dev for sure but maybe keeping all of the cities in one map & maybe keeping it down to one main villain per hero would make it definitely feasible. I'd say Zoom for Flash, Black Manta for Aqua Man, Ares for WW, Sinestro for GL, Doomsday for Superman & either Joker or Prometheus for Batman (we've seen a lot of Joker stuff in the Arkham games & Prometheus would be a better physical match, plus I've always dug how his story ran as a kind of anti-Batman)

I definitely think. Rocksteady is at least trying to figure out how to do a JL game as we speak after everything they teased regarding them in Arkham Knight...I think Montreal is also working on a Suicide Squad game after all of their teases in Origins...it would be a cool crossover if the Squad actually came out and begrudgingly helped JL defeat Brainiac. It would be insane to see what would amount to basically the entire DCU in a single game...Each sequel could recreate big events like Crisis on Infinite Earths....lot of big potential for sure!
