Superman Returns Superman Game news at CBR

[romeogbs19]

So CBR has a HUGE story about the new Supes game and it sounds pretty good. Here are two pieces that struck me: First, the game will feature clips of that cut-out Krypton sequence from the movie. Sadly, the second part is that the movie uses no parts of Ottoman or Williams music ... that's too bad! I REALLY hoped it would -- I mean, EA used all the LOTR music ... ah well.

Story is here:

Krypton mention:
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]Some aspects of the "Superman Returns" script that did not appear in the final film but did appear in Marv Wolfman's novelization are present in the videogame. Among them is the revelation that Lex Luthor was behind the astronomers' "discovery" of Krypton, which led Superman to shove off into space for five years on a wild asteroid chase. Also included in the cinematic portions of the videogame is the much talked about "return to Krytpon" sequence deleted from the final cut of the movie. Depending on which DVD sites you read, this multi-million dollar twenty-minute sequence may or may not be included on a DVD release of "Superman Returns," making the videogame the only way to see this footage for the moment.

Score exerpt:
[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]It's my sad duty to report that "Superman Returns: The Videogame" does not feature any of John Williams' nor even John Ottman's Superman themes. Audio Specialist Peter Lehman explained.

Man, that score news might break the game for me ... I know it's just music but -- man, that stinks!

Well at least we will see that sequence in the game t:

 

[Super Kal]

remember, with the 360, you can import your own music...

 

[BrollySupersj]

NO!!!!!!! Mr.Mxyzptlk is in the game, AHHH!! For ****s sake, I hate that little midget. Goddamnit, they messed up with that.

That's cool -- are they doing that with the reg. xbox version?

 

[BrollySupersj]

Well wait I read abit more, it seems like Mr.Mxyzptlk is only involed in the game by doing the Bizzaro missions. If he's not in the main plot of the game, then I'm good.

 

[Super Kal]

I hope so.

He's basically your portal to some mini-games. Races, saving kittens etc. and the first time you get to play as Bizarro. He turns you into him...but after you finish the mini-game you can access it at any point you want through Bizarro statues that are placed around the city.

Ok thats cool, as long as he does not play a part in the story I am good. Because...I cannot express as to how much I hate that character

 

[Showtime]

special power-ups associated with rescuing as many kittens as possible....

"Come here Frisky..."

 

[BatFitz]

Woah, why isn't anyone responding to this news that well? You're getting your Krypton sequence...I'm getting my Krypton sequence....crisis averted partially...now if I could only find a way to edit it into the movie...

 

[explode7]

yeah you do that.

 

[BrollySupersj]

I am happy of all this news, just that Mr. whats his face is in the game, kills it for me, not enought for NOT to get any joy from the game, BUT it does abit.

 

[BatFitz]

yeah you do that.

ah...sarcasm

of all the great aspects of the game, THAT is what is preventing you from liking it...?

 

[BrollySupersj]

Sort of....he plays no part in the main story, but I still dislike the fact that he's in the game.

 

[explode7]

I dislike the villain.

 

[BatFitz]

Well the main thing about this game is branching off from the movie..I'd say that about 50% of the game is non-movie material...story-wise...and Mxylplk isn't the main villian there are many villians in the game...he's only an addition for being repsonsible for the mini-games (Bizzaro, Saving Kittens, Races) But that isn't the majority of the game, unlike Ultimate Spider-Man where the races were crap and you HAD to do them...

Thats the thing that saves it for me, you only have to see his grand stupid-ness when you go to the mini-games, So I'm still ok and excited for the game....I just HATE Mxylplk or whatever. But having him in it doesn't make me not want to buy it, just wont do the mini-games, but if I have to guess I will

 

[BatFitz]

Actually Bizzaro is one of the mini-games...so is that any motivation to do it? and you can just skip through the cut scene...

 

[BatFitz]

remember, with the 360, you can import your own music...

and even so, I'd like to see their dynamic organic soundtrack work as I fly at different heights also...but I have already loaded up so many williams/ottman tracks on the HD already so they'll be set...but I'd like to experience the product as they present it first

 

[BrollySupersj]

Most likely I'll check out the whole Bizzaro ordeal. But I'll cringe at the sight of you know who

 

[romeogbs19]

I hope you can add a custom soundtrack to the orig. xbox version -- having williams' theme in there would be very nice. don't have a 360 yet, and wasn't planning on getting one, so i'll keep my fingers crossed.

did anyone notice how neither jason nor richard are in the game? talk about a kick in the face to singer -- esp. considering EA knew about it and is notorious for over-linearizing (not a word, i know) their games.

 

[BatFitz]

well the love triangle emotional stuff doesn't translate to games well...I mean come on...Next Mission: Explain your way out of leaving suddenly and returning to Lois and take her on a romantic flight

 

[BrollySupersj]

I can't wait to finally regin power punches to every foe I meet in the game, no mercy.
