The fact that we've gone like twenty years without a Superman game proves that legacy entertainment companies just don't understand video games at all
Even when Universal was getting it right (Crash and Spyro) they still blew it

lol he's wearing his underwear outside his pants

I forgot who said it but someone once brought up that it is impossible to make a Superman game because it's fucking Superman.
You can have Batman and Spider-Man fight groups of thugs leading up an iconic villain with super powers but any type of normal person trying to fight Superman looks fucking retarded.
You can literally shoot Superman point blank with a fucking gun and it won't do anything. What is some goon on the street with his fists supposed to do?

UHHH LEX LUTHOR SUPPLIED EVERYONE IN THE CITY WITH KRYPTONITE BRASS KNUCKLES!

Fuck off

Superman never fights unless it's with some universal threat or someone uses his weakness. If you're going to make a game with him you'd have to have all his villains at the same time or make him lose his powers. You can't just throw goons here and there like Batman and Spiderman

I forgot who said it

Some guy on Reddit in 2011 and it just got partoted everywhere forever

Nooooo you can't fight armies of mindless mooks where you spam square over and over forever how can we make this into a looter shooter without that

You can't just throw goons here and there like Batman and Spiderman

Thank God. Fighting copy paste goons is fucking boring. The only games to make that fun are Dynasty Warriors

I don't know why but Superman is such a boring character to me compared to like Saitama from OPM. Maybe it's just Western writers being dogshit at anything.

I think you don't. The DC characters that everyone knows just don't fit into normal game setups to begin with except Batman and you should really blame DC for making it's heroes too overpowered.

Think of all the assets they would have to create just for a Green Lantern game, think of how fucking unplayable and stupid a Flash game would be, think of how boring it would be to fly around as Superman being unstoppable unless Kryptonite was used.

Its no wonder they went with a Suicide Squad game sadly when you take into account how infallible and boring they all are.

You don't want a game, you want a power fantasy. And that is fucking dull after five minutes. Ask anyone who has played a Dynasty Warriors game.

Superman is simply DIMELESS!! Even GODulk has KINO capeVIDYA.

I've always wondered, how could you incorporate the need to hold back in a game and make it fun? Huge part of his character is how he needs to handle everything with feather touches or he'd just break everybody and everything.

Which superman comics have you read

Some anon had an idea about the planet getting nuked by aliens and covering the atmosphere with smog so superman got nerfed from lack of sunlight. And as you help the humans resist the sky gradually clears and your powers gradually return, and the last boss fight is an over-the-top shitty cutscene battle when you get the power to fly and fling mountains and shit back.

UGH!!

SUPERMAN IS SOOO BORING!!

I MUCH PREFER EPIC SUBVERSIONS FOR ADULTS SUCH AS THE BOYS AND INVINCIBLE!!

space monster mooks have taken over the city and you have to defeat them

they kill you in 10 hits

done

b-b-b-but superman should be invincible and kill everyone in one hit

no that's autistic flanderization of superman

They should just get a Chinese company to make a Rivals for DC, since western devs clearly cannot be trusted and would just make another Suicide Squad.

Swamp Thing would be my main.

Probably Tencent. No way Netease will compete with themselves and they're the big two (outside mihoyo) in China.

Evan Wright from hotline Miami 2 fights holding back in a non-lethal way and it's pretty fun although it gets really fucking badass when he takes off his jacket and stops holding back.

Im a Gokubro and I support Superman fucking my wife

stop making this thread stupid warner bros kike shill

Something along those lines in a Superman game would be great. Make the majority of the game about him needing to hold back. Then he goes to Darkside's planet or something where the player gets to use everything they've learned. From that point, instead of the threat of failure being "oh shit I accidentally punched a robber to hard" it turns into "oh shit if I don't really try here they're going to kill me" I just don't know how you make the concept of needing to pull your punches fun in a beat'em up.

AAAAAH IM CONSTRAINED BY THE ABILITIES OF THE CHARACTER AND FORCEd TO THINK OUTSIDE OF THE GENERIC ACTION GENRE WHEN MAKING THE GAME. HELP ME JOHN ROMERO IM GOING INSAAAAAAAAAAANE!

Hulk and Goku(both stronger than Supes) have games.
The "too strong" excuse is retarded.

They can make a game that's more about puzzle solving, make it more about complex boss fights or just have him fight super powerful aliens or whatever
It's all about creativity.

This but unironically. It's extremely hard to come with some innovative thing in an already established genre, principally when most game developers just follow the "rules" they learned either in college or through youtube tutorials
That's why indie tards love to make wacky "unique" games. It's easier to make up random shit than try to modify an old system

You know what they should do in a superman game? They should put him in a virtual world created by Lex Luthor. And then the virtual city is filled with kryptonite fog. Maybe have Superman fly through some hoops. It'll be perfect

Tencent got some DC rights, they are reruning wondy's skin in honor of kings.

tard, give us an example of a game where goku and hulk are featured are the main character (meaning you only control them)?

so if you think that not being MC = "have games", then superman already "has games" (like injustice)

Hulk Ultimate Destruction.

People say stuff like this but then you watch any Superman media and he’s literally fighting off armies of mooks all the time.

Goku fights with people as strong. Meanwhile there's what, 2-3 villains that are as strong as superman? The others use scheming and weaknesses to get to him

Just make a Hitman style game and make it about Clark Kent trying to get scoops but also give the players access to the Superman powers which he has to conceal. At the end of the level you get a ranking based on how close to the ideal Superman you acted like.

Its not even innovative.

the new movie looks like dog shit

What is Superman holding back

What is Kryptonite

What is robots made by Lex/Brainiac who mysteriously are strong enough to fight Superman

Who are Superman's Rogue Gallery

Who are random space aliens who are randomly as powerful as Superman

Who is Mohammad Ali

Who is Batman

Who is Godzilla

>Who are random space aliens who are randomly as powerful as Superman

You can easily fill a roster with superboy expies alone

Superman has more than enough lore to make it so he can have challenging fights.

Set it against a group of canon enemies that give him a hard time

Use one of the man plot devices to nerf his power level and have it grow as the game progresses (Similar to how Batman usually starts his game as a basic Batman but gets more gadgets and moves)

Like you're crying about Lex Luthor supplying everyone with kryptonite brass knuckles when there's literally a gang whose whole schtick is they're common thugs who got gifted Alien Technology to be a nuisance to Superman.
And that's not just getting into typical gamification most characters go through.
The issue isn't Superman is hard to write a game for, it's that Devs are just that lazy and uninterested in Superman.

Cry more DCuck.

Superman has a pretty large rogues gallery

Lex Luthor

Brainiac

Darkseid

Mongel

Parasite

Metallo

The fourth dimension guy whose name is really hard to spell

Superboy

Bizarro

Livewire

You really telling me you can't make these guys into bossfights or have mini-versions of them as enemies?

which ones

The real reason why Superman hasn't gotten a good vidya yet is because of his ability to fly.
Superman being able to lift 6 gorillion pounds on his eyelash in 1 panel of an obscure comic or what ever means nothing since he already has foes who can hurt and match his strength, you can just invent new foes like DC already does, and you can just nerf him too.
The actual challenge is having Superman flying feel right while in an urban environment. Flying and saving the city are his 2 most basic attributes everyone knows about him, and having a game where he flies like a handglider or a jet won't feel right and having him fly though a city would be difficult too.
Also Superman is unfortunately DC, which means he's a side character to Batman like all the other heroes in DC comics. Batman is basically John Goodman in this scene youtube.com/watch?v=jHFTATeWH5g
Supes is lucky DC is giving him a new film.

Just have Platinum make it and have Lex Luthor make an army of doomsday clones, mind control shazam, cause Darkseid to invade, have the red and yellow lanterns gang up on him and an optional batman fight

Boom there's your Supes game

EA Motive is developing a single-player Iron CHAD game

open world

multiple suits and weapons systems

no microtransactions

flight mechanics from anthem

Ironbros.......we will make it.

Superman is up there one of the greatest comic charcs written. Saitama is just ...

Based.

If (you) were superman you would steal banks aint ya

Would Superman download a car?

He could pirate luxury cars

sucks to suck. couldn't be MY favorite superhero.

They've done 3 Death Battles with Supes vs Goku and every time the animetrannies get buttblasted cuz Supe wins.
Supe is more powerful and its not even close.

A good way to balance his ability to fly is to make invisible timers, like the hostage will die if you take too long or you've to choose where to go and sacrifice the other place. But that's hard to make and most people don't like that
