Great job again boss
The best!
One of favorite heroes for all time and really really hope that one day the Man Of Steel gets the real treatment he deserves. It is an injustice but in the end there will be justice. great video
You should get Angry Joe to watch this.
Here are a few ideas I've been suggesting for several years now...
*▪Don't reduce his power; replicate his responsibility of controlling his superpowers so that he doesn't overdo it.* If you pour it on too much, you create collateral damage in the environment through the reckless use of your superpowers
*▪Game play mechanics should be based in having to hone his powers by hitting a 'sweet spot'.* Superman's perpetual challenge is to use Kryptonian superpowers to save the world when they could just as easily be used to break it. Simulate this challenge that he's always had to navigate in the comics
*▪Put a timer/destruction meter on each task.* Superman's job isn't to just beat up the bad guys. It's to save lives and property. Stop the redundant NPC enemies you have to wade through in level play before too much damage is done, otherwise Superman's not really saving the day now is he?
*•Remove these barriers in the boss fights.* Crank it up and cut loose with his powers when fighting supervillains in the boss fights
*▪Explore all 3 aspects of him -- Superman (hero); Clark Kent (investigative reporter); Kal El of Krypton (alien).* Have levels that require him to sneak around and uncover evidence as Clark Kent, the investigative reporter; levels where he can't use his superpowers. This incorporates the same fun of Batman and Spiderman games by using Clark as the detective
*▪Use corresponding villains for his three identities.* The Kal El/alien missions should see him facing General Zod, Brainiac, and Doomsday. Superman/hero gets Darkseid, Mongul, Bizarro, Cyborg Superman, Metallo, etc. The Clark Kent/investigator missions should put him on the trail of uncovering Lex Luthor
*▪Take him everywhere he has connections.* Don't just keep him in Metropolis the whole time. Take him to Smallville, the Fortress of Solitude, the Hall of Justice, even to outer space (to assist the Green Lantern Corps on a galactic mission or two!)
*▪Increase XP with heroic last second rescues that amazes everyone.* Get bonuses whenever you stop bullets, bombs, and trainwrecks at the last possible moment. Ya know, like a superhero!
*▪Use Superman to inspire hope.* That's why he's here in the first place, is it not? Make gameplay affect public opinion of you in Metropolis, and have the choices you make when stopping other supervillains earlier in the story determine the ending. If Superman has to always make the correct decisions every time, so should you
*▪Lex Luthor should be responsible for the most wretched things imaginable, but will get away with it no matter what.* Superman should personally know all the top secret science projects & classified military operations Lex is involved in, but Superman can never gain the indisputable evidence he'll need that'll stand up in court to legally bring down Lex. Have the people of Metropolis continue blindly adoring Lex as a genius & philanthropist. Since the point of Superman is to inspire hope, the point of Lex Luthor is to frustrate Superman so much that even he starts to question if it's hopeless in a world where men like Lex Luthor can rig the system and get away with their crimes
*▪The overall experience should not only be fun, but to emphasize the immense responsibility Superman has.* Storytelling in gaming has advanced enough by now that gamers could handle such a meta message. Who says a video game can't also have artistic merit?
*▪And for Chrissakes, no Batman appearances!* He's had enough movies, games, TV shows, and animated movies by now. The objective here is to establish Superman as a viable franchise character. If it's a hit, you can bring in Supergirl and Superboy into the fold for the sequels, but the focus must always remain on Superman
That's it, guys. That's your recipe for a good Superman video game. It can absolutely be achieved as long as you approach it with creativity, and honor the most storied source material in comic book history. It won't be easy, but a great Superman game never should be. Making good games for Superman is supposed to be difficult, otherwise the character would never evolve to overcome contemporary challenges
This is sick! I love the idea of the three identities style of missions!
zzzzzz
Really like this but I do admit that in order to not bombard the player with too many tasks have there be a button where Superman uses his super hearing in order to identify things in Metropolis, Smallville and even space. Have there also be many side quests.
Also make thug missions be more about trying to keep innocents health bars alive instead of your own.
Really love this video here. The whole video carefully breaks down how well a Superman game truly can be. loved the concept video at the end!
Thank you bro! :D
@@ottosantiagolassus Because unlike your avatar Dr Manhattan, Superman is not invincible. It may seem that way from a human perspective but when you introduce threats like Darkseid, Doomsday, Brainiac, Zod and Mr Mxlsptlyx then Superman can be hurt and even killed. Actually Mr Mx might even provide a challenge to Manhattan and before anyone says anything I know I’ve probably spelt the mischievous imps name wrong
@@AListProductions We do have a great superman game. Just download superman mod and boom you have it.
3:24 that’s what I’ve been thinking for a while. The Spider-Man games have laid a solid groundwork for potential Superman games. As much as I love the Arkham games and for Rocksteady to live out their dreams of finally making a Superman game, I don’t want the same gameplay setting as Arkham. I want Metropolis to be a living and breathing city like NY in Spider-Man. Superman as a character thrives in helping out citizens during their day to day lives. If we put him in an empty Metropolis with only criminals to fight, I’d say that effectively takes away a key aspect of what makes him Superman. He fights criminals, sure, but his purpose is to mostly save and help citizens. And in an empty Metropolis, I doubt he’d be doing much of that.
Oh yeah Spider-Man games def for the style of the world… gameplay of Spider-Man style I agree. Some Arkham Easter eggs and fighting attacks imo. I think of putting out fires, stopping robbery’s, saving cats from trees etc for Superman! 🔥🔥
@@AListProductions absolutely agree. Hell, I’d even want a mission of saving someone from jumping off a building like what we see in Superman Grounded or All Star Superman. :)
That why hes saying there should be no health bar! Super man is invincible, we already no that but that's not his purpose, his purpose is to save the citizens around him, the people he love the most! So a game could work without health bars and whatnot, it could be timed, like if you don't save enough citizens while fighting off the bad guy you fail the mission!
Those spiderman games should have other playable heroes!
Yes I agree 👍💯👏🙌👌😊....but a superman games 🎮needs to have building destruction people deaths or at least like arkham knockouts and we are talking super man laser eyes like in superman vs. Batman movie where you see the fight of zod and superman inside a building blasting laser eye blast through it cutting it like fruit ninja to a building and watching it collapse would be one of the best displays ever in a game building destruction and flying speed brings a pull behind it dragging everything not nailed down lol and best way I can explain is comparisons of Magneto in that Nemesis game where he can drag it all of the scenery items cars and debris around in a circle and you can control and throw it but imagine this with Superman flying really fast dragging a pool of objects behind him and then turning left really fast while you're flying forward and just throwing all those objects past you at an enemy this game I wish I could work on it I really do
Superman deserves a good game
yes!
Your mock-up was pretty dope and realistic. Looked crazy dope. Let’s just 🤞🏾they finally make this happen.
It's crazy that it's 2022 and we don't have a modern Superman game, it seems like developers avoid it like the plague because they see it as too big a risk.
Would also be great to play as Clark anytime we like, in Metropolis or even just on the farm and in Smallville. It's something that i really thought Arkham Knight would have, the freedom to play as Bruce. With the character of Superman it would be essenital i think, Bruce becomes Batman and it's his life, Clark is tring to juggle being Superman while also a job and a love life. We need that Clark gameplay!
It’s a risk when done wrong for sure. Movies, TV and comics over the years prove their is profit to be made. I hope someone does it sooner rather than later!
And I agree Clark would be great! Even better because while Superman people on the streets could be high fiving and cheering… then as clark “hey watch where you’re walking” etc
@@AListProductions it's WAAAY lesser risk than what WB is doing right now with Suicide Squad game that nobody wanted, game that doesn't even look interesting, just ordinary shooter with little bit of super powers on long cooldowns.
But at least they had enough brains to do Wonder Woman reskin for Shadow of Mordor
I mean, they literally won first ever fan nomination Oscars award for a scene they told to remove and refused to restore for 3 years.
In addition; start off as superboy who doesn't just fly yet but jumps higher than the average human being; iconic blue jeans & black "s" t-shirt.. .get a job at the daily planet which in turn Clark has assignments/pictures to turn in, regardless how he gets them. In fact the daily planet would be good for putting Clark on mission where superman's interference isn't need, neither should Clark be discovered as Superman, vice versa.
Definitely add Bizarro whether it be boss fight, skin, or multiplayer.
Then there's a variety of superman stories that could be infused with time travel or dlc; red son, kingdom come, all star etc.
I'm all for this game & it's collectives edition."🦸👍
@@fryyking2958 along with skins that can be used
Well, there is a Suicide Squad game coming out from Rocksteady. Superman is in that one. Should the response to him in that game be great, maybe Rocksteady will be allowed to do a full-on Superman game. Only time will tell though.
I'd love for a game like this to come out and I've been wanting this type of Superman game since I played the Nintendo version of Superman. There's soo much content and possibilities here. Great video man 👍
Thanks bro! Same!!
Love your deepfake videos man
This was a good video with a surprising ending. Would love to see a real attempt at a Superman game like that.
Thanks For watching and for the kind words!
@@AListProductions It'll happen, I would put it towards the end of THIS gen, but probably into next, maybe even a launch game. I say this because they know it will be popular, and they are right - if they think that - but past failures make them careful to fail again. They have the tech to do it now, as YOU just showed. Do not fret it will come, and I will definitely be buying it - ALSO agree I find it funny that you used the exact example of one way to have a fully powered supes against regular humans that I used. A bullet time idea, Xray heatvision punching through walls.. All of it. they would do a button combination if they wanted something to make it feel like you were moving in and making his do the move, etc. It is fully possible with current tech
I feel like suicide squad kill the justice leagues SUCCESS is paramount to us getting a game like this though, so hopefully they knock it out of the park, AND it sells well, and its loved by us all
A story driven open world game will be perfect. Switch between Clark and Superman to develop an engaging story. Combat and fights could be be pulled of if enough effort is being put in and it has the potential to be one of the best. I hope some studio come forward to make an ambitious Superman game.
Oh duuuude. Hell yes! I’d totally be down for a Superman game like this. Damn this sounds so fun 😭 I especially love the speed of Superman. Running as the flash has always been my favorite thing to do with the LEGO games. So having that much speed with Superman would be hella fun
Right! It would be a huge selling game! Thanks for watching bro!
You pretty much summed up everything I’d like to see in a Superman game, I’m sure one day a studio will come along and finally get it right.
Also, I recently saw the interview you did on kashchei2003’s channel and as a fan editor myself it was really enlightening to listen to and hear about the creative process that others go through. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the kind words and awesome support my friend!
Extremely well done. Just one more thing, it would be great to have the main characters playable through the game. Like you did with Christopher Reeve. Dean Cain, Tom Welling, Brandon Routh, Henry Cavill etc.
I think that it just comes down to the amount of effort it would take, perhaps when we have self-generating technology kind of like what they use in elite dangerous, maybe then once we master something like that but more in a more detailed level then we can have something like this.
The problem is is you need everything to be destructible cities would have to be destructible, you would have to fly through a building. To punch through people through buildings. But more than any of this you would have to capture the emotion of Superman
It would have to be a game about being a good person That's the other problem. People like violent games are Superman game really has to be rewarding for not being violent. Meaning that as Superman you are rewarded for saving people's lives, you feel the thrill of catching somebody before they hit the ground, you go up against these insanely violent and evil opponents and you know that you're the good guy it feels like you're the good guy You're saving people. The NPCs would have to react to you, they would have to show emotion, show that they need you and you would have to be willing and able to reciprocate that love. A Superman game would have to be a very real game and I think that's what it comes down to.
Superman is a very multi-dimensional character I think Batman is as well but I think Superman is like the most multi-dimensional superhero amongst the major superheroes. He loves people he truly does his heart is made of gold, the best Superman comics are not the most violent despite what some people may think it's the ones we're Superman shows that despite the fact he is hard to hurt he's constantly in a state of near panic to save those around him so the game would have to fill you of adrenaline because you were literally chasing against time to save people.
Lois Lane would also have to be a big part of that so you would have to have these NPCs that are very multi-dimensional, but they would have to react to things that you do if it is open world and you decide to become an evil Superman you need to feel the emotional crush of lois lane despising you.
To know that she'll never love you again because you've done evil things. They're also has to be other superheroes that can rise up against you or help you depending on how you behave in the game. And vice versa super villains that help you or rise up against you depending on how you behave. If you choose to remain a good guy throughout the game and you truly live out the game to the best of your ability to be as Superman as you can be then there has to be super villains that can alter their behavior and calculate differently and try to outmaneuver you because that's the only way Superman game will be good. It has to be truly open world those super villains are always up to things, their behaving and hiding in the darkness, you might see signs of their behavior you might see civilians getting kidnapped or hurt or dying and you have to inspect that area you have to use your X-ray vision to try to figure out what's going on Where's the chaos, do you understand what I'm saying? This game would have to be like unlike any game that ever existed.
Totally agree on "a game about being a good person" part
Seeing the "extra" concepts at the end gave me goosebumps... just imagining selecting a suit and loading into a world where I can have my dream of being Superman... *sniffle*
Thank you!
Yes,We all deserve a Good Superman
And the gameplay you showed at the end
That was good
I really loved this concept, I'm not into playing games, but I would definitely give this game a chance 😻👏🏻
You’re missing out on some classics!
Your mock-up was absolutely incredible awesome job I’d love to see a game like this
nicely put together and i like that u added in the very recent sandbox at 4:17 that i saw in another video a few days ago
I feel like a good health system for a Superman game wouldn't be Superman's actual HP, but Metropolis' HP. Like, if too many people are killed or something along the lines of that, then you would fail the level/mission. Kind of like Megaton Rainfall, a VR game I personally love mostly because It's the closest thing to being Superman in a video game that I've ever seen.
This would be such a dope game that mod and edditing of yours at the end looks amazing!
Excellent video bro! There are so many people that need to see this and be taught some basic common sense! It’s criminal that we don’t have this type of Superman game yet! All I can hope is that when it finally does arrive it will be well worth the wait!
I agree! We need it. I would dedicate so much time to the game lol!
I love every idea you had about this Superman concept 💪💪
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
(☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞ ⁿᵒ ᵖʳᵒᵇˡᵉᵐ
Great video and really nice to see more people making videos on how a Superman game can definitely work and that he isn’t really that hard to do. Too many people or should I say “casuals” always complain that he is too OP and that there is no challenge which is complete stupidity. It’s not that hard to realize to just give him enemies on his level and it should be fine without leaning on crutches like Kryptonite or Red Sun.
Exactly! Misc missions around the map for side quests can be “save cats from trees”, “stop bank robbers” “stop car theif” “put out fire” etc. fun stuff you can fully use his abilities… and the main story incorporate kryptonite, Zod , doomsday, or brainiac. - thanks for watching!
When he's not in physical danger himself from supervillains or weaknesses, the emphasis should be on the people and the city being in danger. When too many people die and there's too much damage, game over.
@@axebomber2108 Exactly right, quick time events should definitely be incorporated mid battle to save someone trapped in a car or under some rubble. Like an enemy jumps on you, tap X button to get them off, quickly survey the civilian for a quick time event, save them or others and get back into the action. It shouldn’t feel repetitive but something of a balance, something natural to Superman and what he does.
It just can’t be repetitive to the player like Superman Returns was.
Excellent video, bud! Really hoping they develop a Superman video game soon, especially after the Wonder Woman announcement.
Thanks and Agreed! Is her game open world? Or do we know anything?
@@AListProductions Yes! It’s all but outright confirmed the game is in Themyscira. The teaser description says Wonder Woman will be “Open-world action game” that uses Monolith’s Nemesis System that started with their Middle-Earth games Shadow of Mordor/War. So we also can assume that the combat will be like Arkham since those games had essentially the same style.
The king has returned.
No you!
I recall that Superman is vulnerable to magic as well as kryptonite. I think that would be a worthy avenue to explore. A villain could gain control of Zatanna and John Constantine and set up the kind of challenge we’ve never seen before.
I like the concept video, but think it needs more rings to fly through. Note to any prospective developers, that was entirely sarcastic.
4:47 the theme in the background would be perfect in this game. It’s different from the movies etc. it’s like Spider-Man PS4 and how that theme is catchy but also different from everything else I personally love it and also love this concept.
This was custom score from one of my films :)
@@AListProductions OH NO WAY! That’s so epic good job on that. You captured the delicacy and hopeful vibe of Superman in this theme. It differentiates itself from all other Superman themes and it’s an amazing thing. Personally I think it’s kinda hard to step out of John Williams shadow but for me you accomplished that. If it’s not a hassle is there anyway I could have a link or something to listen to it?
@@CaramelloGuy sadly it’s not online anymore! Shoot me an email and I can send you it :)
@@AListProductions What is your email fellow sir? I would love to listen to it.
Omg how do we build this game, this was the best video I have seen on UA-cam for years. I see your vision. Partitions need to be signed to approach companies with the back to create this.
I have lived and adored the icon for years. What a powerful idea. You have my full support.
It would also be awesome to tie it in to the Arkham series somehow
This is really great video. I love your ideas for the game and all the concept art you created. Love that you have a Christopher Reeve likeness head. Would be great to get some audio clips from him in there as well. Again really well done. Would love to see this as a real game!
As a fan of Superman and videogames, I gotta say that your concept is... Amazing! We need this to really happen, gotta love to play that game as much times as I can. :'D
A open world justice league game would be cool.
Single player has pick a Hero and each hero has their own storyline or play online for the justice league storyline.
I think something along this line would be sick.
that would've be nice
Really nice work at the end. It looked like a genuine game. Clearly, you are being modest, but your passion shows.
Dude legit. That would be an awesome game your video mock-up was amazing. I don't know how a company wouldn't make that game if it was pitched to them
Thanks very much! I wish / hope someone in that position sees this and decides to make it. I don’t even need credit I just want it made!
I think instead of the city health bar, there should be a reputation meter, similar to Infamous 2. If you stop crimes and save people, your reputation goes up and civilians applaud and cheer when they see you. If you choose to just destroy buildings and set places on fire, your reputation goes down and people actively run away from you, and maybe if it goes down low enough, police and military would act hostile to you, like the star system in GTA.
I like it
@@AListProductions Thanks!
Melts an entire restaurant of innocent people. "I help wherever I'm needed"
Nice ideas.
For #2 - Do Not Power Down Superman: I would take a slightly different tack. Start Superman at lower levels of powers, and have him work up to being Superman Prime, or wherever the game wants to put him. This would give the players a progression path, challenges, and a reward system for advancing.
Start the game as Clark just as he learns the truth about his origin. Then the game can be about learning how to use his powers, like he can only jump really high at first, but learns to fly later and his powers are unlocked one at a time like in Smallville. Could be really epic to have a scene like Nathan Drake walking through the snow and having the fortress reveal, putting the suit on for the first time etc.
That concept of the game was really awesome! Great job!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Glad you brought up powering down Superman I have noticed this argument constantly yet no one powers down some other godlike characters in gaming. Dante and Kratos come to mind but also Batman and Spider-Man aren't powered down either and are experienced.
Everytime people bring up a Superman game also they always want to do another origin crap and it's like wth? Spider-Man nor Batman had any of that but for some reason folks think Superman needs a origin tale for a game. People aren't thinking outside the box here when it comes to the character or Tell Tale nonsense I have seen folks pitch and I'm like " I don't care I want to be Superman "
I agree! I think it's just people can't think of a way to do the game with him at full power, but its really not that hard. Loads of franchises like you mentioned have people full powered. No one wants to play a game or series based on (insert any character) and they are powered down, they are playing them because they LOVE that character not a weaker version of that.
Yes! I think start with him having been superman already for like 4 years, and if you want fun flash backs that can be part of the storyline.
@@AListProductions Excatly do the Spider Man PS4 approach , where he's been Superman for 5 years, 6 or 4 like you said and let's say he has fought a good chunk of his rouges gallery but not everyone like in Spider Man.
He fought Metallo, Parasite , Toyman, Atomic Skull , Livewire and Lex Luthor and the Intergang and Bruno Manheim but hasn't encountered like General Zod, Mongul , Darkseid or Brainaic yet nor has he encountered Phantom Zone Criminals yet or Cadmus and like Kara Zor El just arrived on earth . Just has Spider Man and Batman had villains not part of their rouges gallery fight them ( Deathstroke and Taskmaster) have Superman fight the same , have a fight where Superman is battling Major Force etc or Captain Atom ( before he becomes your ally )
@@kingcyrusthegreat3887 yep! I hope a studio takes it on and makes it! Endless possibilities!!
This was a great video! Good job man!
Thanks!
Chainsaw!!! I’m super surprised you haven’t watched and shared your thoughts on our Star Wars Film. I hope one day you get the time to check it out.
Love to see videos like this, i have a feeling 2022 is gonna be great!
Thanks me too!
I hope we can get a Superman game like this the only time u get to free roam as Superman is the Lego games
Legit! I think the world needs it
I'd like to see a Superman game, but the hard part about it is that him, being the good guy he is, always trying his best to pull back and not kill and avoid destroying everything around him, would need to be put under a lot of limitations. Batman games have almost no civilians around so the players wouldn't be able to hurt them, otherwise it'd be against his core, in Spidey's game, when you press to attack innocent ppl, the game makes you greet them, but the thing is, neither Batman nor Spidey have the same level of destruction power as Superman, they can get destructive, but not on planetary level like Superman. It would either need to set big battles on desert planets, or they would need to do some kind of punishment for each act of villainess the player does, like destroying things for fun. Superman is the kind of super powered human that could go through a mountain like it's nothing, so it really needs to be taken into consideration. Whenever there's some type of destruction around the city, it should never be Superman doing it, not on purpose at leat, he should be trying to stop the villains from doing so.
For common thugs to be taken as some kind of threat, they must be using kryptonite bullets or weapons, and power armors that can take a Superman punch, or a laser beam, or anything he can do, otherwise it would just not be fun at all, 'cuz even though he's not immortal nor invincible, he is reeeeally close to that, so either the AI of the enemies is super well made and they're really clever when facing him, or they would need to be super ultra strong.
Another problem with leaving Superman with no consequences and limitations to villanous acts the players would for sure make him do, is that we would not have a SUPERMAN game, we would have a Homelander game, or a Omni-Man game.
So yeah, it would be great to have a game with him that works well, but he's a really hard character to adapt to things where there's interactivity and an open world (like I said, if the player can destroy cars, buildings, and kill civilians, good or bad, human or not, it's not Superman, if there's something like that in the game, it would be a scripted moment where he would feel the weight of being reckless).
Dude that ending was so cool
Thank you very much!
Nice game concept the breaking of sound barriers and open world feeling
YOU ARE SAYING EVERYTHING WARNER BROTHERS AND DC'S NEED TO HEAR!!!
Also, don't you think guys that it is about time we have a great Justice League game?
Cus I think we Do!
You guys have a great concept at the end. I love that concept. I would buy it.
The game would need to revolve around who Superman is as a character; a beacon of hope and justice. Too many people focus on the POWER of Superman instead of the Kansas farmboy he really is. To that end, I'd want a mixture of dialog options and writing that would be a mixture of Fallout: New Vegas, Telltale's The Walking Dead, KOTOR 1 and 2, and Detroit: Become Human.
Have Superman's missions actually become moral conundrums, with some sort of morality system where you can make tough choices as Superman, for better or worse. For example, someone's about to kill themselves because of a terminal illness. Do you, as Superman, save their life, or do you allow them to kill themselves? Or do you HELP them do it? And all of your choices would influence the NPCs in the game and lead to multiple endings based on your choices.
And depending on how you play, you can open new dialog options in other missions. Maybe you did the "Halls of Evil" sidequest before this one, so now you know there's a cure for the terminal illness, BUT it turns out that the person didn't have the best life anyway and WANTS to die regardless, but their family wants them alive. Do you force the cure on them anyway?
And then these choices reflect the combat missions you'd have in the game. Maybe the family of the suicidal person tries to help you in a battle against Metallo, or they've actually funded a taskforce to try and take you down. Your decisions as Earth's Guardian would make the game easier or harder, and even the CORRECT choice could make the game harder as well.
Even sidequests would have importance, like helping a local recreation center curb rising crime rates in the inner city. Your actions would either make things worse, better, or somehow there would be no change whatsoever. But the environment would change permanently, and you'd either have more random enemies to fight or less.
I agree with everything else in this video, but that's the kind of Superman game I'd want to see. You're Earth's defender. Now you have to live up to the name of Superman and actually make extremely tough decisions with almost every mission you have. Simple "punch the bad guy" missions would actually be the easiest part of the game in comparison, and even then you'd have to try minimizing collateral damage.
Wow. Looks so good.
The open world concept is on point ! Really got me thinking about the endless possibilities, like taking superman not only into space , but to other planets even! Make it open universe!
Oh yeah for sure! I think that's where the concept of "leaving" areas for seperate loading screens. Imagine going to the moon, sun, mars, etc!
I see your vision it's beautiful
I'm really crying right now seeing this video, Superman needs to be on top again!
i love the idea of flying into the sky and it opening up a map of the world.
metropolis / smallville / fortress of solitude / watchtower
having a metropolis that is insanely huge bigger than gta5 then fly up and it open up a map to travel then cutscene is him flying into space slowly and into orbin then flying down showing him flying down and it loading you into the sky.
smallville would be awesome having you fly through seemingly endless corn fields and the small city to see your parents.
fortress would be super training for superman and upgrades.
watchtower would be superman interacting with others and finding missions on earth to stop with ar training like batman arkham knight where its all simulated fights to learn just like fortress.
but one thing i'd love is switching between clark and superman. you walk around metropolis like gta and can take pictures and write reports from events happening in the city. like random things. like a robbery going on and you change into superman and get clark to show up after and interview people from it and it goes into the daily planet.
switching back and forth. and you switch to clark in smallville to go into the school and businesses.
if they add superboy and others it would be cool but superman alone would be great. superman returns was a great game.
100% ! You walk around as clark you could have people be like “watch where you’re going” etc since he’s just a guy, could be cool!
You have my support brother
Beautiful idea man
5:54 *Lands out of no where and heat visions a family of 4 in a van to a fiery death* "I help where I am needed." 😂
Oh guau 🤩, you were talking about it and I was like, “where’s that game? Me want a game with all that he’s saying.”
Awesome
im glad youre still making youtube videos. i remeber that video "batman vs superman" from 2011. loved that video so much as a kid.
Thanks! Might have slowed over the years but always appreciate comments like these
@@AListProductions little did we know that in 5 years it would happen
@@dontwatchanime8063 damn right!!
Superman is my second favorite superhero next Spiderman and yes the possibilities are endless so I hope they make this happen. It would be epic
Add that you can play as a member of the Superman Family too. There are multiple Superboys, and Supergirls. You can have Steel, Eradicator, Guardian, Gangbuster, and Thorn. There could be missions that can only be completed by certain characters.
Yes, yes, yes. 100% As a superman fan, this is the game I want and the game so many comic fans want. Excellent video.
very very good man! congratulations for the video, who knows we will be close to a superman game.
for a few years now ive had this crazy idea for a cool superman game which basically includes all the points you bring up and more. One thing though is it would depower superman, however not for the whole game. you would start out fully powered for like an opening tutorial bit, then story reasons get you depowered some, and then over the course of the game you get stronger and stronger to when you would be at your full strength so people get time to learn and focus on his different strengths. the main story would also be more RPG like in progression and events where you have multiple ways to handle them leading to some different outcomes. (this way you can't have people complaining about superman not being superman because its literally up to you to figure out). building on that, instead of a metropolis health bar, its more of a metropolis popularity thing, with there being a sort of contest between you and lex trying to win over the people of metropolis. if you are more aggressive with situations, your vote will go down which could affect direction or interactions in metropolis, such as people running away in fear rather than running up to you in excitement. I think it would be an interesting take on the superhero game with the push being that its really *your* superman story and not just you playing a superman story
hopefully one day we get something. would love any dc game really thats just outside of batman related stuff
I agree with your points you made
Thanks for watching!
I completely agree with you. We do need a good Superman video game. I like the concept of the the game but when you change skins It would be better if you have it in the fortress of solitude background. Just a thought
Fantastic Post, AListProduction!!!
As a Superman Fan for 5 decades, I think what they need is have places all over Earth in NODES, like Paris (and the nuclear bomb in the elevator as a nod to Superman II), and perhaps some other French cities and landscapes. When finished, the man of steel has a cut scene of flying over the planet like when Christopher Reeve flies into space, orbiting Earth, where he'll go to the next "Hot Spot". Once complete in any mission, he will be able to fly around in any of the previously visited nodes and have random events happen, though no more "Main Campaign" level missions there. Off to Afghanistan, to stop a "rogue nation" from unleashing nerve toxin on the populace, while battling mechs that have superspeed and Red Radiation lasers, temporarily weakening Supes if hit. What's next? How about a trip into space to CAREFULLY repair the International Space Station, which has a ruptured fuel line, and therefore a decaying orbit. Kal must repair the busted out fuel lines, and gently give nudges to the platform, or it could break up all over Earth orbit, and thereby not only put the astronauts in mortal danger, but also make it hazardous for future launches due to the immense debris field and falling larger pieces of the station.
What's that you say? The Mariana Trench is experiencing tectonic activity? Who's this a job for? SUPERMAN!! Someone said they saw Metallo attacking Metropolis? Who ya gonna call? SUPERMAN!! What's different this time? You've got superspeed, super breath, freeze breath, heat vision, powerful punches, and flight to show this goon what it's REALLY like to go up against the Man of Steel! Along the way, there are a vast array of mutants, aliens, and techno villains that can give our hero some irritation, and because he's so powerful, he has to gauge his strength so as not to put them out of commission permanently. Need a world-ending scenario? Mongul, Darkseid, Luthor, Parasite, Brainiac, General Zod, Hank Henshaw, even Mr. Mxyzptlk for just plain silliness to mix things up a bit (perhaps literally). The list goes on and on.
The whole thing here is NOT about meeting Lois for a date, or to arrive to work in time without Perry White chewing out Clark Kent. This is about Superman at his most awesome! A crowbar to the head? "What was that? Did something throw popcorn at me". Try a 10-kiloton bomb, and he just may take notice. How fast is he? Love the Bullet-Time reference so much!!! Use that X-Ray vision, punch through walls and pull those bad guys right out of the room they were in. Fantastic idea! The ideas are only limited by the development team. But if they're smart, they'll listen to the fans. "Let's run over Superman with a steamroller! That will flatten him"!!! Superman sneezes and launches it 2 miles down range, and into a lake. "Let's shoot him with our guns that go PEW PEW". DUDE, he can withstand a NUKE!!! If they make this game right, "You'll Believe a Man Can Fly"!!!
Open up forums for ideas, and of include things NOT to include in the game. My #1 bad ideas by developers for all of his games? Stop depowering him and then have him earn power-ups!!! Bring him home, and don't look back! He's a SUPER MAN; keep it that way! RIBBIT!!!
This was EPIC!!
Thanks so much!
I am all for this idea, and at the end with Tim Daly as the voice of Superman? Perfection.
Great video man, you touched all the aspects of a great superman game. Thanks a lot
Thank you for watching!
A Superman game with an infamous hood or evil system I think is going to be the move where u can kill villans if u choose or something on the lines of injustice but gives u the option of what kinda hero u can be would work here
Dude!!!!! This would be badass, especially as evil super man
Great video. I love the Tim Daly voice over during the hypothetical gameplay footage. I like George Newbern and the rest of them, but Tim Daly was always my favorite.
Yeah I had to come up with something in the mock up haha
This is something a true superman fan would say. 100% agree with this
🙏❤️
Excellent video! Been wanting a good Superman game since I’ve been a gamer
Cool concept dude 👍🏾 Would be great to see this come to life.
Thank you! I agree
Damn man that Superman game look really great! WB should listen to your ideas.
Im glad this video was recommended to be. So well made. Great work man
The powers things could be done in away so that you can gain all them by end game, and by that time you’ll be fighting threats on your level
I would like to see someday in an videogame style Animation the first Superman/Spider-Man Crossover, with the Injustice Superman and the PS4 Spider-Man.
Would be cool!
I don't.
Injustice sucks.
Definitely need a Superman game. I was saying this to myself. Good video
We still want this game!!!!!!!!
This video is right on point. It's EXACTLY how this "future" game should be and it's about time they start working on it - with the mentality, references, and nuance you're suggesting. Rocksteady should definitely be the ones to make this video game. They've done such a great job with the Batman series that they should invest more in making superhero games, with as much time that's needed and attention to detail, as they've done with the Batman series, with a series of Superman games. Best of luck!
you are absolutely correct mister
Developers please pay attention to this guy’s video. This was perfect.
Thank you! 🙏🔥
I would love for a flash version of this video awesome stuff dude completely agree ❤
Imagine a destructable city, that slowly repairs itself. Imagine fighting a villain, and in the process putting a bunch of holes in a building... then a few day/night cycles later, thee building now has a construction crew working on it... a few more cycles and it's back to normal.
Here's an idea I had that can work for what a good Superman game could be. The main villain would be Brainiac, and there can be some robots that you'd have to fight which are in fact powered by Kryptonite. While Superman is nigh-invulnerable to bad guys like bank robbers and thugs, enemies carrying kryptonite will remove invincibility from your health bar, giving a bit of a challenge to make Superman feel grounded. This can also work for indoor-based missions where kryptonite fog will spray down from the ceiling.
Maybe there can also be a Supergirl DLC where you play as Superman's distant cousin, with additional costumes like the Power Girl suit and the "Animated Series" suit. Unless it's better for Supergirl to get a spin-off game like Miles Morales did.
I was thinking maybe something like the Infamous Karma Bar, like if you want to destroy the city or kill the criminals, you can do it, but it will afect your choices through the story and maybe how the media sees Superman, even giving diferent ending for good or bad Superman. That would be cool, because if you choose to be good, you no actually have to worry about a city healthbar only to be cautious, just like him.
100% agreed. I would add as well the ability to switch to Clark Kent for daily planet missions like old spiderman games.
Imagine the Super Pope Hat as an alternate costume.
Why not! Lol
Great video. I've wondered about every point you raised here, and I totally agree that it's such a missed opportunity. The mock-footage at the end is fantastic.
Thank you so much my friend!
I would love an epically made Superman game.
I mean we’re talking once you complete all the main Earth missions you unlock other planets. Which unlocks open galaxy and then to open universe. Superman has helped many aliens on their home planet before. And had many space fights. Throw in some Warworld with Mongul. Hell add a storyline where you have to battle an entire armada. Which then can eventually lead to an epic story arc to Darkseid and Apokolips. Then finish off with Allstar Superman.
100%, that stuff could even be expansive DLCs after the game has been out for 6 months.
@@AListProductions exactly what I was thinking. DLC’s will make it last forever. I really do want everything you mentioned though. His powers, good fighting mechanics, no nerfing unless part of a storyline. A decent amount of classic Superman type of missions like carrying buildings around, catching airplanes, super speed around the earth. The fans are starving for someone to do it proper!!
@@HausOfMontague exactly! Imagine a mission where to have to stop a plane from crashing, smaller missions like putting out building fires, fun ones like stopping robbers, then the story could have doomsday or brainiac? Or even Zod. Someone who’s a real threat
@@AListProductions Yes!! Those villains would be awesome to fight in a well done Superman game. Speaking of Doomsday would be interesting to see them do Death of Superman DLC. Heck they could even thrown in Superboy Prime, maybe some Lantern action. The list can go forever 😂😂 it’s so fun though.
@@HausOfMontague they are missing out on literally free money!
Awesome! Would love to play this kind of game. Hopefully some developers see this.
I’d love for it to be made!
Really good video! We can only hope that somewhere someone is actively working on a Superman game with these ideas. I’d literally just toss money at it.
Would make loads!!
I feel everything that You are saying that the adaptation of a game needs.
I hope we will get a game of him this year.
Great video!
I always thought one way to do a franchise of games is to start him off in Smallville, learn his powers and face more earth bound villains like Lex Luthor, Metallo, Parasite, Livewire, even some classics like Toyman or Prankster. He takes down Lex Luthor and the end has a tease for Zod and the Phantom Zone.
The second game he takes on Kryptonians as well as Brainiac.
The third he takes on Darkseid and Doomsday. As each game progresses he goes from Earth, to space, to the afterlife, to Apocalypse
I agree it would be nice to play as
superman for once
