It's beautiful.
It'd be like Arkham City, but since the main character is a dangerous sociopath, you don't have to wait until some villain takes over the city. You can start asserting your will over people right away! Also you get robot spider legs.
>>
Superman: Warworld. Supes starts out with an earth sequence that teaches you the ropes maybe with some robots or Metallo or a power suit Lex. Supes then ends up going to or gets captured by Warworld somehow and has to fight but then escapes and just goes wild ala Hulk Ultimate Destruction.

>Raven
Either RPG, or maybe with gameplay similar to InFamous.

Story involves Trigon taking over Earth, and it's up to Raven to rescue the Sentinels of Magic in order to combat him (which is why I think RPG style would work better, but who knows). The game takes you through the hellish ruins of multiple DC cities, and ultimately the twisted realm of Trigon, where you face down your dad.

I think it has potential. It wouldn't set the videogame world on fire, but TT fans might get a good experience out of it.
>>
Ghost Rider.

It's GTA, but every vehicle you enter turns into a fire breathing metal monster of hell fury and street burning mayhem.
>>
>>83682286
>Raven
>story is about Trigon

Who ever would have guessed?

But seriously the RPG style might be fun, it could even be a turn based party system with other DC magics like Zatanna, Constantine, Madame Xanadu, Enchantress.
>>
>>83682343
You have a point there, but you have to understand, this would be Raven's first ever solo game. Trigon has more star power than other villains associated with her, except maybe Deathstroke.

But, I'm all for giving underappreciated villains some love so how about this: Johnny Sorrow and the King of Tears as the main villains.

You get the same reality-warping shit as Trigon with the King, along with more lovecraftian implications.
>>
>>83681726
>Wonder Woman

Gameplay is similar to the Souls series except with platforming elements. Plot is revealed through conversations with NPCs and enemies. Non-monstrous bosses aren't killed and instead are imprisoned at the world hub, some acting as item vendors after their defeat.
>>
Dr Light

Rapelay remake
>>
>>83682378
If you wanted to do Trigon but didn't want to rehash Trigon, you could create a few OC villains for the game trying to assume his power and take his place after his defeat at the hands of the TTs. Some demons, some mystics, maybe even a few that Raven's half-siblings.
>>
>>83681726
I dunno if Hellboy counts, but make a Hellboy game modelled after Resident Evil 4, cel shaded, you got yourself one great game.
>>
>>83682523
That's... actually not a bad idea.

But on the other hand, it implies the players has previous knowledge on TT mythos, be it the show or the comics. Which there's nothing wrong with that, and I was doing pretty much the same thing, but I was going for a more "I remember this Raven girl and something to do with a Trigon; maybe this will spark my memory" mentality.

Raven fighting her half-siblings could definitely give way to something interesting: I've always felt "family" to be an important aspect of Raven's character, and whether a family has to be blood related or not in order to be considered "real". So there's definitely some internal conflict there that I felt wasn't in the... was it Winick who wrote that story? With Trigon's sons trying to take over after he grew weak? I don't remember.

But anyway, I think there's a lot of potential for Raven... anything, really. Game, show, solo series. Just take some lesser known mystic villains and heroes, throw in a few OCs, base your stories around actual real life supernatural stories or myths, and I think you'd get something good out of it.
>>
>>83681726
>Spider-Man

Take the Spider-Man 2 web swinging physics and the Arkham Melee engine (the counter signal is basically the Spider-Sense and I tend to move like Spider-Man anyway), and make a decent sandbox and it's pretty decent. The biggest problem would be including the wall-crawling without being awkward.
>>
>>83682268
So, just the Arkham series but with greater emphasis on projectiles?
>>
>>83682623
You don't have to require players to have a previous knowledge of the TT mythos to make it work. All you really need to know is that Trigon was defeated at the hands of his daughter and her allies and a bunch of people are trying to fill the void.
>>

>>83682423
Nigger what the fuck are you doing

How would a Wondie game play like Dark Souls? At least say God of War or Devil May Cry or something that makes sense.
>>
>>83682623
You can start it with Raven (and the Titans/"other magic heroes") managing to finally put him down? Do the whole "full power prologue" thing that some superhero sandbox games like to do.
>>
>>83682757
I guess so. I don't know, it just gets me thinking of somebody reading the story without any prior history and going "Wait, who's Trigon, and why was he such a big deal?".

But then again, with the right writing, you can make any offscreen villain look threatening. It's really not hard to make "almost-literal Satan" feel like a powerful force inuniverse, even without showing him in action.

Plus, if you're greedy, it gives you prequel fodder for the next game, so... win-win?

>>83682767
Also a good idea. I guess if you just include a strong opening narration, any story would fit in, really.
>>
>>83682748
And murder
>>
>>83682765
You word it like that, and all I can think of is Luke Cage as basically Mike Hagar, and then I wonder why the fuck would anybody play as Danny?
>>
>>83682748
I think something like more recent Far Cry titles would work better, but without guns and non-lethal options for arrows.

Also something more interesting to do than that radio tower shit.
>>
>>83682765
>How would a Wondie game play like Dark Souls?
Lots of timing, dodges, and counters, punishing bosses requiring pattern recognition over brute force, and regular enemies that can be a threat if you're not paying attention.

A Telltale style of game, where choices and dialogue are more important than combat would be perfect for him. It just needs a varied magic system, so the player has to decide what spell/ritual/summoning to use, and when to use it.

Make it similar to KOTOR, have some basic constructs and you can pause the battle to actually make more advanced constructs.

Recruit fellow lanterns to your party, maybe even recruit normal aliens and see if they can overcome fear and train them to be GLs.

RPG shenanigans with magic /other dimensional foes.

>>
>>83684278
It's... true? I've honestly never read anything with Enchantress and had never heard of her, so the natural progression is to look up information on her.

She actually sounds like an interesting character concept, so now I know whether I should look for stuff she's involved in, and get to know her better. What's the problem with that?

This is a nice thread. I'm liking a lot of these ideas.

>Antman
Puzzle game where you switch between big and small to solve different parts of the puzzle. Similar to The Silent Age on mobile phones if anyone's played that. Maybe include some flashback missions where you play as Hank or some Wasp DLC/side missions.

For Green Arrow I was thinking a parkour shooter like Dying Light with grappling hook arrow for traversal through the tall buildings.

For Wonder Woman, hack and slash like Metal Gear Rising. Imagine Rules of Nature while Wondy is fucking Ares or some shit.

For Daredevil, just a straight rip of Arkham with less gadgets and heavier focus on combat or a brawler like Watchmen the End is Nigh/God Hand/Asura's Wrath, etc.

Superman.

CUHRAYZEE almost pure action game made by Platinum Games. Instead of being more of a cash-in like their other licensed games, it's a full-fledged game with a massive budget.

Gameplay is similar to their previous games, but fit around Superman. The objective is to take down various enemies and bosses, plus maybe save some civilians and prevent property damage here and there (instead of making the whole game an escort mission, how about it features prominently enough that it should be on your thoughts most of the time but not a priority either?).

Combat is like a cross between Anarchy Reigns, being over-the-shoulder, but with some Zone of the Enders 2 thrown in there as well. Like a fancy beat 'em up but where you have Superman's powers, can fly (air combat would be a thing and a very big deal), can pick up vehicles to throw them at enemies, etc.

Enemies could include Luthorbots, Brainiac drones, Parademons, the works. Just get fucking creative.

Boss fights could include Zod, Faora, Doomsday, Mongul, Darkseid, Brainiac, lots of weird, alien giant robots, etc. Just throwing out some suggestions here.

It could be a very fast and technical game, especially against the bosses, who should absolutely be on Kal-El's level. I'm talking Ninja Gaiden Black/2 fast, where the bosses can instantly rush at you in just a few frames and fuck you up real quick if you're not careful. To compensate, you could be given a slow-mo ability to make reacting against enemies or bosses easier. There could be lots of cool, hidden tech too, like using your heat vision to hit a reactive part of an enemy to blow it up instead of just punching it to shreds. The philosophy behind making this game should be the same as any hardcore action game, really.

I just made the perfect Superman game. You're welcome.
>>
Wonder Woman

Make it like God of War

This is the only way to do a WW game.
>>
Static Shock canon to the Arkhamverse but taking place prior to Arkham Knight,
Open world, map 40% the size of Arkham Knight with combat similar to Infamous Second Son.

Heavy emphasis on manipulating the environment with electricity, as well as antagonistic bang babies manipulating/using the environment to their advantage.

Gear is a side character in single player or a second playable protagonist for Co-Op.

In some obscure or random pockets of the map, I'd probably add a few characters mentioning Gotham, and possibly a 5$ DLC involving the Virgil and Gear chasing out the mysterious Red Hood, a wandering mercenary who travelled to Dakota hoping to establish his own drug ring.
>>
>>83692293
>God of War-style WW game

There is NO reason why a GoW-style game would work better than a cuhrayzee one for WW.

Iron Man, done by whatever branch of Square Enix made Just Cause 3. They recently released a new DLC where you get a jetpack wingsuit that functions like Iron Man's, and weapon systems similar to Iron Man.

It's an open world sandbox with events happening around the map, similar to Spider-man 2, but it's not separated into missions, they'll all just be happening one the main map. Right bumper/trigger speeds up/slows down you while left bumper/trigger speeds up/slows down time. These both drain your speed force meter, time more than you. Zoom is the main villain

I think she fits the more graceful, fast, frenetic style of play cuhrayzee action games have, more than the slower, more brutish style the GoW series has.

I can play Bayonetta and think, "Yeah, I could see how Platinum could make a good WW game."

I just don't want yet another grimdark edgy WW game that emphasis how much of a warrior she is. I don't want to play a WW game where she's basically just an angry, female Kratos.

I always liked the idea of a Superman Game where you are basically a god, but if you cause too much collateral damage or fail to save too many people, the Justice League get called down to rein you in, basically in the same way as GTA. Instead of Stealth Missions, there's be "Investigative Reporting" modes where you have to play as Clark and keep a low profile while gathering intel. Don't give me any shit about that not making sense, neither does the Ace Attorney franchise.

Luthor would be in the game but the final boss would be Darkseid on Apokalips, as collateral damage would instead be encouraged because fuck that place. There would be a few other places like that, like the inside of a Braniac ship or something.


I personally would rather a Green lantern game or something but I have no idea how you would do that in a satisfying way unless it was some Scribblenauts expy
>>
>>83693313
Agreed, that's actually more or less how I'd envision a Flash game to play.

You could also have different levels of each, with your meter draining according to what level of speed you're going and so on.

The game could also use these to fuck with your perception of time. For example, for one mission, you might need to get across Keystone City or Central City in under 30 seconds to find and disable a bomb or else it goes off. While if you try to get there normally, it'll certainly go off and you get a game over, if you 'slow' down time around you enough, plus use your super speed, the time limit is suddenly much, much more lenient to you, more like 3-4 minutes.
