A Superman Game ?

[Parallel Streaks]

. Actually Superman 64 is accounted for one of the worse games in history.

God, I could swear that that game was actually made by LEX LUTHOR to make people hate our super-powered hero. Most people hate him anyway, he's gaudy and dull.

HEres an idea: make a superman game where, perhaps, he DOESNT have his powers? I mean come ON people. THeres any number of excuses why he doesnt have them. like, CURSED BAH DEE-MUNS!

Then he's not superman ! ,,,, although i do remember watching some episode in justice league where he was on a desolate planet with no powers and some thing some thing and surving with a pck of alien dogs.

exactly. heroes losing their powers WORKS. everybody does it. so you just havea game where superman regains his powers one by one, and finally he gains invincibility just in time for the fuck-all destructoporn final level. And then he fights doomsday as the last boss.

i have solved the quandary

The last Superman game had the idea that the more Civilians that were hurt the more 'life' you lost. It's the only way it could really work.

Nah Superman is one of the more boring superheroes out there and to encompass all of his powers in an effective way would be pretty difficult. I'd rather just leave it.

Only if Rocksteady (the devs of Arkham Asylum) were doing it

I did a review of Superman Returns (the game) called "Superman Returns: a retrospective review" ( http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.140883 ) I had some suggestions in their. Among those suggestions:
A destruction mechanic
Reining in Supe's invulnerability to a more reasonable level
Better flight mechanics
More brutal and spontaneous boss fights
That's what I'd suggest.

Seriously, I'd rather play as a blind bum that Superman.

Hmmm....

That actually might have some potential. A kind of mystery-puzzle game where you wander aroiund unable to find out what the hell is going on because you're a tramp who's blind.

OK, maybe not that great

But maybe better than Superman

If a Superman game was made as a sandbox, based on his days in "Smallville" (as the TV series goes, not what he WOULD have done) then it could work, with him finding his feet and developing his powers due to circumstances that push him to his current limit and force an "evolution" (inFamous style).
Or they could go with another Smallville based idea of the "Phantom Zone Escapees" thing and make it so he has to hunt down beasts that could actually kill him, while also fighting off Zod, Braniac and Doomsday.
I know some people don't like the TV Series, but it does have some good "potentially a game" ideas.

You guys do realize they've already tried many times to make a good Superman game...and its either mediocre at best or abysmal. They should spend their time elsewhere.
