Superman Video Game

[PalmerTheThing]

SR was fun purely for the aspect of flying around the city.

of course, I think there was a code you had to input to give Metropolis "infinite health" so you had the luxury of just flying around and goofing off.......lol

Wow! So the city has a health bar instead of Superman?

Man Arkham Knight can kiss my money good bye, I'm going to go wait at my local EB Games for the next 8 hours until the store opens so I can be the first person on March 9th 2014 to grab my Superman Returns copy.

Boy life is amazing.

yep......that's how they got around the issue of Superman's invulnerability. give Metropolis a life bar instead.

which wasn't a bad idea, per se.

I just remember the game being overly repetitive and it got boring really quick.

plus, I hated the movie........so I didn't really want anything associated with it.......lol.

That was the problem. It got boring quick. It was fun being Superman for a while, but it was a short while.

Here's an idea. I'll leave plot and story for TPTB.

I've thought about ways in which Superman could get a good viable game. They could introduce time limits for certain missions? As well as that you could make use of the Clark Kent persona and switching back and forth? They could introduce the switching as a means for Clark to get into places Superman could not go. Like say Clark Kent the reporter has to go undercover to get intel regarding *insert bad guy here* or something. He could switch in the same way you could switch between Catwoman and Batman in Arkham City, oh and each persona has intersecting and individual missions.

As for health/life for the Clark persona he could take a certain number of blows or perform a certain amount of actions before others realise he's Superman/not normal thus compromising the identity. For example Clark takes a bullet or two and the other guy realises he's not normal/he's Superman=Game over and Start over. Oh as for how the game varies with difficulty, as levels get harder you have less and less places to change between Clark Kent and Superman and it's more easier to slip up the secret identity.

You could also do missions where the player has to possibly choose and triage big natural disasters and super-villain attacks etc and explore the consequences arise when you choose one thing over another. Think the light/dark side or other choice-driven decisions you would make in games like Star Wars: KOTOR or SWTOR. So perhaps maybe Bioware should try making a Superman game?

Basically what I'm trying to say is we need a game which really takes us into a day in the life of Clark Kent/Superman just like how the Arkham games make us get into Batman's mindset. Superman makes life and death decisions and deals with consequences every day, we incorporate that. Clark Kent has to struggle to keep up a disguise and act, let's incorporate that.

If there's a will, there's a way.

I will never know why they can't seem to make a Superman game that isn't a fighter or whatever. The character is pretty omnipotent depending on the writer but he can still get killed.

 

[OutOfBoose]

I think Superman game can be done as a Telltale game. Where you don't need to control the powers of Superman, but you need to control the choice.

 

[the last son]

Boooo. Give us a superman action game already. This is ridiculous. Just get creative.

Sounds nice, challenge is... okay, how do you program that? How do you fit the world world (solar system? universe???) onto a disc? We can talk about Procedural Generation, but it's not to the level where you can make a beautiful fun filled gameworld, is it?

You assume I want this game to be an open world game. I believe that would drastically limit the potential this game would have. I was thinking this game should have format THQ's Punisher. As for the case of Clark Kent, I'll refer to All-Star Superman's Interview with Lex during the riot. They could lift that scenario and make a level out of it, or something like it.
