Will DC ever let a good developer work on Superman?

Only person that liked Returns...

No.

He is too powerful and doesn't use laser beams to shoot monsters in a first person perspective.

>Will we ever get a good Superman game?
...or movie?

Would have loved to have seen this Flash video game come to fruition.

A good game dev will let supes destroying stuff easily and being invincible, only when he met with his equals (Doomsday, Darkseid, Bizarro, earth prime superboy etc etc) his life meter actually depleted

>>15584649
I liked it. it had the bones of a good game. Put in a greater variety of villains, a final boss that isn't a tornado and a greater capability to damage the city during combat and it'd be great.

>>15584708
Also I would of like Bizarro and Mongul to be capable of hurting you.

>>15584651
>>15584649
I liked Returns' idea of "Superman is pretty unbeatable, so we'll give the city a health bar instead" but it was done all wrong. The city was lifeless, absolutely no interaction. The missions were all the same and many of them cheap as hell.

If they made a lot of variety to the missions, like instead of fighting off robots every time you had to stop a construction disaster, or figure out a way to use your powers to stop an earthquake or tornado or tidal wave, save kids from a burning building etc etc. Put actual people in the city who you can talk to and interact with, like Lois and Jimmy, get some other heroes to be recruitable like Powergirl or Firebird, add in some bosses like Doomsday and Darkseid, and you could have a hell of a game.

>>15584708
Metropolis neeeded to be more than the same gray city block copy pasta'ed again and again. Seriously, have the Devs ever played a sandbox game?

>>15584703
>>15584708

Have the City Health bar in normal missions, Supes is invincible, but flying through building and hurting civilians lower the City.

In Supervillain mission Supes Health bar appears and you have to deal with the threath and take care of yourself.

What else?

>>15584784

Have "guest stars" like Batman, Flash, Captain Marvel etc etc

Game should be about balancing your life as Clark Kent and Superman. You need to find the emergencies as Clark, then find a phone booth or an alley or something to change into Superman without anyone seeing you, save the day AND get back to the Planet to write the story, or you're fired. You can also woo Lois by buying her stuff and taking her on dates.

This game got me into comics. True story.

If only there were more variety to the missions and a better story.

>>15584827

GTA Clark kent?

>>15584784
Different ways of beating missions based on what powers you want to use. Like say, you get extra points for stopping a volcano with super strength instead of with ice breath. That would mean giving each power its own unique effect on the environment and enemies instead of just a different amount of damage.

How about missions that involve spying and figuring out the bad guy's plan instead of just bum rushing them? Using your X-Ray vision to spy through the right walls, or super hearing to pinpoint the right conversations.

>>15584827

Grand Theft Super?

>>15584827
NO

They tried to do the whole dual identity with the Ang Lee's Hulk movie tie-in, and it was a horrible chore to be Banner.

>>15584784
I recall someone else thought of this, but with the boss battles, there was a 'let's take this outside' feature, with Superman luring the opponent either out of Metropolis or into an emptier area, which enables Superman to use stronger attacks now that there's less risk of killing anyone with collateral damage.

>>15584855
How!?
By finding a small island to slam over the top of it?

>>15584827
loooooooooooooooooool

faggot game

>>15584855
But Superman never investigates. He always just charges in and smashes. I don't want to play Arkham Asylum again, I want to play a hulk game on crack.

Superman Returns was ALMOST a good Superman game. But it had one thing seriously against it.

REDUNDANCY IN FIGHTING ENEMIES. Everything else was good... Superman being invulnerable, Metropolis being Superman's life bar thus urging the player to protect the city... all that was good. If they switched up the enemies and not have them attack every third second, then then game would be perfect.

Otherwise... yeah, a swing and a miss. Superman Returns ALMOST clinches it, but almost doesn't cut it.

>>15584894
I mean as side missions, like one of the Spiderman games

>>15584846
And, you know, it didn't suck

>>15584894

You don't get more Hulk on Crack than Ultimate Destruction. Supes doesn't play like that.

We have

>>15584932
You son of a bitch.

http://www.pentadact.com/index.php/2005-08-20-quest-ideas

A very interesting concept regarding invincible heroes.

>>15584886
Sure, or you could try and close/cave-in the mouth of the volcano

Give us a dozen different ways to complete a mission, maybe even unlock different outcomes based on what way we chose. That way we can keep trying something different when we play again

Make it a story where Brainiac has abducted every citizen in Metropolis, giving carte blanch to all the hyper-destructive mega action you want.

Boom.

The bigger question is how do you does it play. The only game that's done a great job of mixing flying, melee, grappling, and shooting is Zone of the Enders 2.

>>15584991
ZoE2 with Superman mod?

I'll buy it.

Wario Land 2 had an invincible character. Just make the game about Supes have to rescue people before they die.

well since Bats got a great game after his second new movie, and Supes has a second new movie on the way being directed by the same guy.... hope is there.

>>15585234
But its not a second movie...
Its another reboot...

Isn't the whole point of Superman in the first place that BEING A SUPERHERO IS NOT FUN?

>>15585262

Superman Returns was a boring piece of shit, anyway. I welcome a reboot as long as Superman fucking fights someone.

>>15585275
BUT THATS THE POINT
They got the boring shit out of the way with Superman Returns!
NOW WE'LL JUST GET THAT BORING CRAP AGAIN

>>15585265
uh... no? Superman has fun all the time.

>>15585303
I hope Nolan doesn't give us another origin story. Everybody in the world knows Superman and where he came from, he's the numero uno most recognizable and popular hero in the world.

Just give us a Brainiac or Darkseid fight.

>>15585275

Well that's everyone's hope right there.

>>15585265
Depends on what you consider fun... I mean if you're looking for collateral damage and a body count from him, I suggest that you keep looking... (Not that there's anything wrong with that, because there's something to be said for destroying everything)
...Given that... I'm not sure how to make the game not boring... Without it just being an endless spree of super villains. I mean Superman can't beat up thugs like Batman or Spider-Man... Even if they all are affiliated with Intergang, they should go down just by Superman tapping them.

>>15585303

No, Superman Returns had a focus on non-combat. It's very easy to tell an origin story and INCLUDE A FUCKING FIGHT SOMEWHERE.

>>15585381
Like has been said ITT, the fun and challenge would come from using your powers creatively in ways that do not involve just beating someone up.

>>15585428
Supes did have a fight. He fought Luthor. Luthor stabbed him, then his cronies stomped him. Fight over.

>>15585428
REGARDLESS
A reboot mean origins and Luthor AGAIN!!!

>>15584866
>They tried to do the whole dual identity with the Ang Lee's Hulk movie tie-in, and it was a horrible chore to be Banner.

OH MY GOD.

HOW DARE YOU REMIND ME OF THE FUCKING BANNER LEVELS.

OH MY GOD.

>>15584621
lol, no

>>15585447

Give Luthor his power suit and kryptonite.

There.

>>15585558
Why would he have a power suit made when Superman first arrives?
And he always has kryptonite!

Two things you need in a Superman game:

1- Power.
2- Freedom.

Make a Booster Gold / Blue Beetle game in the vein of Gears of War or Army of Two instead.

Superman games are fail tier.

No, we need a DC GTA.

Will we ever get a good Aquaman game?

>>15585829
I think you should shoot for a good Aquaman comic first.

Only if it's released independently of a movie. If it's a movie tie-in it has no more worth than a t-shirt or action figure-- as far as WB is concerned, it serves the same purpose. If it's a game without a movie tie-in, it's its own event and merchandise and hype revolves around it. Ghostbusters, Arkham Asylum, and War For Cybertron (that one's not out yet, but it's looking really good) all are independent of movies and I think that's what makes them better.

>>15585829
no.

because Underwater levels suck.

>>15585838
>I think you should shoot for a good Aquaman comic first
Hey, SOME of his comics were good.
mid-90's spear-armed Aquaman was pretty boss.

>>15585838
>implying there haven't been plenty of those

>>15585851
to elaborate further:

Underwater levels suck because Underwater controls are just about always clunky and broken no exceptions.

plus Underwater is fucking boring, there's nothing but sand and fish.

if we're gonna make an Aquaman game, it has to be as far away from the Ocean as possible.

Solution? make a game based on the basic idea of "Aquaman's Outrageous Adventure!"

>>15585947
BioshockxAquaman crossover :D

>>15585947
make him protect Atlantis

>>15585947
I dunno, I say it could be done.
We just need people who know what the fuck we're doing.
There's plenty of freaky shit terrors that live down there.
One of the levels can be the mariana trench.
he can fight cthulhu

>>15586016
>he can fight cthulhu
So you want a game thats impossible to win.

>>15586033
.....yyyyyyyes.
yes, I think I do.
He can be an autokill enemy.
You see a tentacle coming out of the darkness, aquaman fucking swims for his life or else he gets dragged down.

>>15586033
>implying the Chtulhu would be that huge of a threat in the DCU

He isn't even near being the top dog in the mythos.

>>15586033
>implying that Aquman and Etrigan didn't JUST kick cthulhu's ass in the last issue of Brave and the Bold

>>15586055

This is true, but his waking is like INSTA-LOSS. Since just seeing him and perceiving his form causes you to go mad.

>>15586055
>implying Cthulhu wouldn't kill them all with nothing more than his presence

>>15586069
>implying that was Cthulhu
>implying those comics aren't crap

>>15586112
I have strong evidence to support that it WAS cthulhu, but I'm way too lethargic this morning to really care.
So fuck you, it was cthulhu and the deep ones ect ect....

>>15586159
Oh, well lets see here.
No.
If it was Cthulhu they'd be dead.
And if they aren't dead it wasn't Cthulhu.

>>15585320
What the fuck is with Luthor's face.

>>15586200
he mad

>>15586183
The supposed fact that you didn't read the issue automatically discredits your arguement because you haven't even seen what i'm talking about.

read the issue.
then come back to me for debate.

>>15586225
Did they fight this creature?
If so, did they live?
If so, it wasn't Cthulhu.

SUPERMAN IN SPACE

problem solved.

>>15586159
>>15586183
>>15586225
>>15586242


I think I have the answer to your problem gentlemen.
If either of you have read Arkham Asylum: Living hell, you'll notice that there IS character named Cthugha (or something like that) but not cthulhu.

Anon defending that it's cthulhu, it might be DC's version of Cthulhu, AKA Cthugha. Hence why no one went mad at the sight of him.

though then again, Aquaman never directly looked at him, only Etrigan. and Etrigan is a demon anyway, so he wouldn't be affected.

>>15586242
>implying that cthulhu didn't get taken down by a fucking BOAT in the original story.

>>15586200
He's jealous of Supe's cake. It's better than all 40 of his.

>>15586335
>implying that was being "taken down"

>You go mad if you look at Cthulu.
>Implying this means he's unbeatable in the DCU.
>Forgetting about the Joker.

>the last few posts in this thread

>>15586391
>implying the Joker is THAT insane
