Arrow What Would You Want in a Video Game Set in the Arrow/Flash/LOT/Constantine Universe?

[Slade W]

Would you want its storylines to be based on those used in the shows, or would you want them to be original storylines, perhaps set in an alternative universe, or the same universe that the shows are set in (perhaps the video games storyline takes place during the summer break between seasons)? If you want original storylines, what type of stories would you like to see?

What characters would you want to be in the game, and what characters would you want to be able to pick? Would you want to be only able to pick Oliver, Barry and John Constantine etc or their supporting casts too? Would you want to be able to pick the villains for their own missions?

Should the characters only be able to go up against their own villains, or against the other shows villains too? For example, Oliver vs RF and Barry vs Ra's al Ghul and Deathstroke.

Should missions be character specific, or should every character be capable of doing every mission?

Is there any villains or heroes that have not been on the show that you think should make an appearance.

Should the game have levels, or be similar to the Arkham games and be an open world?

You do not have to answer these specific questions btw, they are just examples.

I'd heard rumors that there was going to be an Arrow game based on the same engine as the Arkham games, but it seems that never happened. I mean, this rumor was from way back–I thought it was supposed to be set between S2 and S3, or something. I'd love a game like that, personally. Have a main story set from Oliver's perspective only and then DLC for Laurel and Thea, maybe.

I don't want to play a Felicity simulator where the player character barks orders to superheroes from a laptop.

I'm good thanks.

I'd rather it not be a CWverse game.

If Rocksteady were to do something Green Arrow or Superman would be at the top of my list. And I'd want it to be in the Arkham-verse.

If such a game was made, I would love it if the fights against henchmen were similar to how they are done in the Arkham games.

I'd like it to be like the Arkham games in some ways, but also have some 'RPG' elements with regards to how the Player Character reacts to things (including perhaps choosing dialogue options) and making choices that could affect how the storyline plays out, thus making it replayable.

That is quite interesting. I suppose it would be interesting if you could choose whether you want Oliver to be a killer too. They could give you choices when it comes to killing people, responding to people or making other decisions, and your choices set you on your path to either becoming the hero that does not kill, honours Tommy, tries to be happy and trusts his friends like he is trying to become in the show, or if you choose the more ruthless and darker options like killing people and not trusting your friends, working with people like Malcolm Merlyn etc, then you end up as the leader of the League of Assassins or something like that. That would be pretty cool IMO.

I think a game based around S1-S2 Arrow where it was more street level, would have been really cool.

I honestly think they missed the boat though. And games based on TV shows generally a) aren't good and b) don't sell well.

 

[Dark Raven]

If the game is basically Olicity where you try to pair them up and resolve romantic issues, then no thanks.

I think it'd be a cool concept if done properly. It'd have to be similar to the Arkham series in terms of gameplay. Storylines I think should be original and not rehashed of the shows. Same characters could be used, but new storys and stuff needs to happen to be successful.
