Continuing from the previous thread >>333406838
Design a Superman game
Dante Must Die Mode: Don't remove his powers
If you can't come up with anything good, then design games for other cape shit heroes that haven't gotten games.
>>333444707
>Start game at full strength, all powers
>First mission is to save someone out of a burning building
>The objective is to not snap his fucking neck at super speed. Don't crush him with your super strength. Don't hurt any civilians in the process
The true power of superman is his ability to hold back.
>>333444707
>can't remove his powers at all
Then you're looking at QTE: The Game. There is no way to make a sandbox SM game w/o making the player feel contained and limited.
>I want a videogame where you are a God but can't use his powers for cool things or else he'll get depressed for a month!
Said nobody ever, the anon from the previous thread had the right idea, an Adventure Game that deals with Superman making tough decisions
>>333444993
This. Trying to end fights without killing the criminal and without collateral damage is the way to do things.
Paste superman characters onto burst limit lots of fights happen in space.
Superman is a moralfag which is for sure the worst thing ever.
There is a reason every superman game is awful, it's hard to figure out a GOOD idea for him. It would basically just be escort quests.
>>333445387
You're thinking like an indie cuck/modern day AAA developer who's too afraid to let the players figure shit out themselves.
If you want a sandbox Superman game, make one with a wide variety of random events like Spider-Man 2. There should be no markers or waypoints. Metropolis is your home, learn its ins and outs. User your X-Ray vision, your super hearing, and your connection to the people of Metropolis to find trouble and fix it. Increase the tension by implementing a Dead Rising type of time system. You can't be everywhere, so choose. Your decisions could have consequences later on. You failed to stop the burning building at a chemical factory. Congrats, the Employee of the Month, Rex Ruthor is now balled and wants revenge on Superman.
Fully destructible environment.
Missions are stopping villains from destroying or murdering.
Adapting his powers to video games is simple enough.
But while I think Metropolis would be a fine sandbox alone, I'd craft "story missions" in large levels that can accommodate his power set but also be tuned to whatever the story demands of it. Think Peach's Castle to the Painting Worlds in Super Mario 64.
Things where Superman might spend a mission in Gotham, or on different planets, or in Atlantis.
It would let them show off a bigger universe as befitting of Superman, while still providing lowkey scenarios where you can just be a superhero helping people in need.
First few levels are him being raised by the Kents. Them teaching him to be good and humble while Clark is learning about the different abilities he has.
Slowly make him do smaller stuff (people falling from a building, stopping robbery, ect.). And over time building up the problems while slowly adding more and more heroes Supes meet. Get Flash in it while he helps Supes with his speed, Wonder Woman with getting someone to confess, Batman helps with detective work while the two talk about while they disagree of their method they are happy to have each other.
At the end of the game you lead them in a massive fight against Darkseid along everyone you have meet and in the end you form the Justice League.

>Adapting his powers to video games is simple enough.
Yes, let's give full-control of a character that can bench-press a solar system while taking a Super Nova to the face. Great idea,
No. His powers are absolute trash to try and adapt, what will happen? Kryptonite will be so common that every common mook will have weapons made of it?
>>333447794
>bench-press a solar system while taking a Super Nova
You do realize that not every incarnation of Superman is Silver Age tier?
90s-era Superman couldn't even survive in space unaided for most of the decade.
just make the main story a boss rush mode, and then throw in a sandbox mode where you can just fuck around.
You could even add a multiplayer/co-op element to the sandbox portion, think multiple superman flying around fucking shit up.
>>333448376
Not him but I love Silver Age Superman.
>>333447794
But he is right. Post Crisis is a much more tone down Superman. He has super strength and other abilities but nothing to the point of godly like in Silver.
But what about the Flash?
>>333448982
Sonic was shit enough
>>333447794
I think the most you could do is an origin story, with Supes slowly adquiring his powers. Final levels could be you with Supes at his 100 %, with frantic battles against all sorts of crazy, giant enemies.
>>333448982
While I love reading the Flash comic I can't imagine a game with him that would be interesting. Also fuck Speedforce
>>333449365
>IT WAS ME, JAMES!
>>333449365
best villain
Is this the new One Punch Man?
>>333448718
Silver Age Supes is good but then chucklefucks glean all their knowledge from out of context panels then proceed to shitpost while they act like they have any idea what they're talking about.
You simply can't, it's impossible. How you can make a video game where Superman is a villain. He'll harass the player to quit and you need to find kryptonite to stand a chance against him.
>>333449549
The problem was that Silver Age was all about being weird as fuck. And DC didn't really care about putting a solid idea on how strong Supes should be since he was from the Golden Age. It was only around the 70's when they started really trying to solitify what DC characters can and can't do while Marvel knew how to deal with how strong their characters were at the get go.
I don't think you can give him a sandbox game that'd be worthy of the Superman title.
The only approach is probably a story-centered game, that's the best I can come up with.
Or a game that's about Superman, but you don't play him.
>>333450083
Black Bolt is fucking awesome. Wish they'd make The Inhumans sooner.He's one of the very few good things in Marvel.
>game has tons of interactions with his supporting characters
>robot enemies you're allowed to destroy
>Boss battles are in areas where you can destroy the environment and not feel out of character (alien spaceship, canyon, abandoned city)
>Mr. Myx. challenges and mini games
>cheesy hero moments where you get to be the big blue boyscout
>fights with Metallo and Parasite where you have to get creative to beat them
>fights with Darkseid, Doomsday, Mongul, and Luthor in power armor which are just big meaty violent slugfests>game allows you to ignore canon and romance best girl Lana Lang
Make a game about Superman saving people. Superman's conflicts aren't usually with his antagonists, but rather with the havoc they create or with tragedy in general. Make the player be creative with all of Superman's awesome powers for maximum saving.

>>333450652
Does your game have an unlockable Christopher Reeves skin?
>>333450652
>Lana Lang
>best girl
Step it up kouhai
Make a "game" like Asura's Wrath
>>333450970

mah nigga

Just have to check anon
The last thread was full of idiots
Uhhh, 30GB game.
Multiple cities, intricately designed, 2 of the cities are DLC. You have to WALK around town as Clark Kent until plot activated battle happens, once you gain enough rapport, you can freely use your powers in the respective city.
Combat consists of aRPG elements, Superman grows in level, stat points can be allotted during level ups. It's fluid and fast like DMC3 (not DMC4), but not too unreasonable to be crazy, mosttly like Marvel Nemesis, without the fixed target and shitty bugs. Superman can do everything he's supposed to, you don't magically unlock abilities; you have everything at a base level which can do more damage like in DMC3.
The music would be something like a mix between Hitoshi Sakamoto and Martin O'Donnell. Impressionistic, romantic and full of purpose. There would uh, be musical cues to let you know you can save people.
Uh, sound direction is led by someone who was behind The Evil Within and the guys behind Resident Evil 6. Lots of eerie noises for enemies like The Parasite and Doomsday, you can hear the metal whinge and crunch, steel beams churn and snap; that kind of stuff.
Graphics would be uh, relatively high end, like Vanquish, but without the upscaling nonsense. No pop in, maps aren't proceedurally generated. Uh, and I guess that's it.

Anon, you're making me believe that I can fly
>>333452972
Well if it's like Spider-man 2 and people are just yelling "MY BALLOON," you might feel a little overburdened with responsibility.
