You just became lead designer for the next DC superhero game!

[FakeSympathy]

Which of the DC heroes will you make the next game on, and what type of game will it be?

I'd personally make a justice league game, starring the founding members. It will be a 4-player co-op game both local and online, third-person camera action game. The game will have one of those seamless drop-in and out feature, so players can drop in your game. The story campaign (which can be played by yourself or with friends) will focus on three arcs;

1. arrival of Darkseid and his army of parademons on earth,
2. legion of supervillains and their army of minions on a quest for world conquest,
3. and finally Sinestro and atrocitus teaming up to invade earth, bringing both corps with them after wiping out green lantern corps.

Once you complete the campaign, you can replay it without any dialogue and have the ability to play as any heroes and villains you choose

The multiplayer will feature multiple modes, including horde mode, control point, capture the intel, VIP rescue (VIP can be Dr. Silas Stone for heroes and Dr. Ivo for the villains), and many more

The founding members include Superman, Batman, wonder woman, martian manhunter, flash, green lantern (Hal Jordan), and Aquaman. You will be able to play as additional heroes and villains from unlocking them by simply playing them. As for which version, kinda like what injustice and Arkham games did, it will be set in its own universe so it doesn't affect the continuity of the comics. Every heroes and villains will feature the iconic voices, such as Kevin Conroy as Batman, Susan Einsenberg as WW, Carl Lumbly as Martian Manhunter, etc.

Each heroes and villains will have their own unique set of skills, plus an ultimate move. Batman calls down swarm of bats, Wonder woman can toss her shield to hit multiple enemies, superman can do ground shockwave, flash taps into speed force and runs into enemies, and many more

Basically single-player version of DC Universe Online with the depth of RPG/Open World games like the Witcher 3 and Rockstar games.

Still undecided on whether it be a make your own Superhero and Villain, or play an established Hero and Villain kind of game.

I would make a Deus Ex game complete with stealth options and dialogue bosses with "Plasticman" now here me out Plasticman can go through various of obstacles(which means there is room for great level design) and can shapeshift(which could boost your chances of persuading someone.)

Create a game about Wonder Woman that's essentially a PG-13 Bayonetta

I'd make a game based on the Batman: Vampire Elseworld comic. It's 19th century Gotham mashed together in a huge spiral structure with no empty spaces and everywhere you go you can discover something new. It would be Gotham in a fever dream that makes no architectural sense but has a density of layers within layers. Early on Batman gets bit by Dracula and now on his way to becoming a vampire you can choose to kill your enemies and grow stronger(no skill trees, abilities just pop up at random like growing wings etc) or not and rely and Batman's 'classic' combat abilities and gadgets. If you choose to kill, you become more and more monstrous looking(eventually not looking human anymore at all). The main enemy will be Dracula who now has a base in Arkham Asylum from which he also released Batman's rogue's gallery, which will be familiar but have an obvious dark gothic spin. And for the first time, you get to choose to kill the entire rogue's gallery including a never-before-seen Joker.

I want a Booster Gold/Blue Beetle game where they travel through time and deal with issues.

That or just have them do a team-up dealing with problems in today's world.


Would like to do a collaboration with my friend's idea called the Jimmy League which is a giant team of every Jimmy Olsen from a different universe coming together. Was gonna have them as a side character that pops up if Booster and Beetle go through the multiverse and the Jimmy League shows up in the finale to help them stop the villain.


Style would be mainly RPG

Yes! All of this, in my face.

 

[Squilookle]

They gave me this job, which I personally couldn't care less about?

Ha!

Superman flying through rings it is then. For dayssssss...

 

[Saelune]

Marvel Ultimate Alliance, but ya know, DC.

 

[KingsGambit_v1legacy]

I don't think it would necessarily need to be DC specifically, but I'd LOVE to see a superhero RPG. Not an MMO, not a shallow perk system. Actual role-playing with deep character development and customisation. You could have a morality system of sorts, demanding rewards or extorting people vs refusing rewards and being a boy scout.

I cannot for the life of me think of a superhero RPG, but I'd love to try one.

If it had to be DC, just make a new Arkham, it'll be better than anything else they could do.

 

[CaitSeith]

Spoiler: Bat Cow, of course.

A sandbox game where she goes defeating criminals.

The climax could be Bat Cow v. Krypto.

 

[09philj]

Some sort of action RPG themed principally around the JSA. The good thing about the JSA is that it's got a meaningful spread of levels of experience and power, so any kind of rookie hero would fit in. It would also give a good excuse to create a world with more of a 50s feel, balancing the optimism of that era against the darkness and violence lying behind it.

Create a game about Wonder Woman that's essentially a PG-13 Bayonetta

Was going to say God of War to due to shared mythology, but either one is good. Diana isn't generally as fast or stylish as Bayonetta, but she is strong enough to rip a minotaur in two with her bare hands and much more.

As I've mentioned before, a Jonah Hex game in the vein of whichever Max Payne or Red Dead Redemption game you think is the best. I liked how the Batman TAS episode 'Showdown' connected to the main plot by having Hex battle Ra's Al Ghul's son and the League of Shadows before Batman was even born, and before Gotham was anything more than a quiet harbor town.

League games are harder to do. I say leave each hero in their comfort zone... and maybe have someone get to work on making 'Arkham Beyond' as well.

Yes! All of this, in my face.

Essentially. All they'd have to do is tone the violence and splatter and they'd have it ready-made. Just have something like Circe or Ares wrecking things on Earth or bring in the New Gods, have Diana acquire new weapons and abilities over the course of the game, and there ya go. Simple and to the point

Ooh, now that idea I like. I'd keep them split up for the game though, have Beetle's sections be similar-ish to the Arkham games where its brawling with thugs and some detective work thrown in, while Booster's sections are the ones where you gad about being awesome with superpowers

 

[Neurotic Void Melody]

It would be nice to play as one of the villains. Mayhaps Lex Luthor trying to rebuild and reinforce cities to protect them from DCU 'heroes' constantly smashing up the place like clumsy children. Well, it could start off with those good intentions yet turn into your own fascist dystopia complete with all the cool technology and magic to enforce your brutal reign and pacify the heroes you can't personally manipulate to further your own means. Play different characters off each other perhaps to engineer more disasters to maintain your iron grip on the populace. Could introduce a Batman countdown Xcom 2 styley that you can postpone through various tasks but if it hits zero you have to deal with him yourself, otherwise you are taken out of power and put into wherever is most deserving for all those splendid crimes against humanity you might have just a teeny bit committed.

 

[RaikuFA]

Superman game. Arkham City type game. Storyline is basic as Lex has trapped Superman in a part of the city that has a Kryptonite emitting force field. A bunch of villains are guarding different generators that when destroyed give Superman back his powers. Sort of a sandbox Metroidvania.

 

[DarthCoercis]

Hmm.. DC....

I'd make a 3rd person stealth/investigation game starring The Question and The Huntress. Maybe even a co-op game where one person investigates as Question and directs/assists another person playing Huntress to their objectives.
