How would you make a good Kal El game?
>>719513395meh... make it like those dragonball fighting games. And he can fight doomsday or something just as powerful.
>>719513395Linear and not open world. If you truly are so scared of him being too strong then either give enemies a reason to be able to withstand him or a reason he is weaker."You can't make a Superman game" is a meme. Goku has plenty of games and he is absurdly powerful.
>>719514006Just make him the animated movie DCAU superman. He is not brokenly powerful like the comics.
>>719513395Give players both options of being OP superman or "holding back" superman>make new spinoff setting partially based on injustice superman>personality wise he has morals but can bend them>gameplay has two main differences in how situations can be resolved>superman by default holds back, but this makes him in game much weaker when dealing with mooks and stuff, can't use certain powers, and most missions will be time sensitive so he can't just sandbag indefinitely>at any time the player can switch to "all out" superman and paste anything in his path, but this changes the story over the course of the game depending on how many you kill or how much collateral damage you cause>make good, neutral, and bad endings depending on how much superman has given up on holding back in situations or if he sticks to his morals and minimizes collateral>don't make the player feel bad if they decide to just go all out all the time, have in game reasons to do so (like going all out in a sewer or office building level allows the player to just smash straight to the objective instead of being a good boy and not destroying the infrastructure) and don't have NPCs beat him over the head about how much a poopy pants superman is being>certain bosses require all out mode however, just so the system isn't wasted for the players that want to play a good aligned supermanThe game can be a short beat 'em up that's like, 10 hours long or a 300 million dollar blockbuster game with branching paths and shit-ton of reactivity to the destruction/lack of caused by superman.
>>719513395He’s too powerful. What you’d have to do is make it about him rescuing enough people in time, not giving him a conventional lifebar
>>719513395You can't. He's too overpowered and boring to make a game out of.
>>719513395Clark's flick was a solid 6.5/10Still was more excited by DDL's next film.
>>719513395Adapt the Warworld Saga
>>719514807>You can't. He's too overpowered and boring to make a game out of.I think that's bullshit. We've seen superman get his arse handed to him a shitload of times.doomsdaydarkseidbatman with kryptonite boxing glovesshazam can give him a run for his moneyand there are many many more that can kick his arse.
>>719513395you can fly around and punch enemies and it has villains from the comicswhy does everyone overthink it
>>719514807Sure the bullshit galaxy sneezing power wank comic version is. Just use the non comic book version of supes. Who is much weaker.
Easy, make it about a young Superboy who isn't strong or experienced yet
>>719514743Why do people say this only about Superman? We have tons of games with Thor in them and he's just as powerful. We have games where you can play as the Silver Surfer who is more powerful than Superman. We had Superman games on the NES/SNES and nobody said shit back then. But for some reason you zoomer faggots crawl out of your retard caves whenever the subject of a new Superman game comes up and spouts this retarded shit. You people are fucking stupid. There's a game series where the son of a space god rolls trash into size of planets but a Superman game is impossible because he's "too powerful". What the fuck are you even talking about?
>>719515185>Sure the bullshit galaxy sneezing power wank comic version is.That hasn't been a thing in the comics for like 60 years. Even comic book Superman gets slapped around all the time.
Just make it a light hearted whimsical game like the cartoon and really old comics then. The problem with Superman isn't Superman but the people too cynical to write a character like him or too cynical to appreciate him.
>>719515569Give me a 1970s camp superman with lots of gore.
>>719513395A Batman game where you beat the shit out of Superman.
>>719515614What if they made a game starring click bait Superman
>>719513395>>719514665I had a similar idea but make it kind of like Dishonored.You get godlike powers and then have to go through the game deciding how to use them. The game puts you in situations where going all out is easier, and might save more people or whatever, but you get the risk of killing people or some shit
>>719513395Crazy Taxi but super hero saving people
>>719513395Go with a weaker superman from the earliest comic runs, where kryptonite isn't so necessary to threaten him. Definitely a linear game because open world spam is tiresome.
>>719516342Why is Superman and Batman so evil?
>>719515328He's gay. I don't wanna play as a gay woke faggot.
>>719516646That was the norm for 1940s.Everyone was a dick back then and it was accepted as being cool. It's also why boomers are such selfish assholes and fucked everything up for future generations. They grew up like this. Part of their culture.
>>719516709Gay doesn't mean woke
>>719516646Those covers are the equivelent of clickbait. They'd put some outrageous situation on the cover to get people to read to find out what the fuck is going on. The actual story would be nothing like the cover.
>>719517089Don't lie to yourself. You can tell who forced that shit in DC.
>>719513395Justice League Musou
>>719513395Have him fight the merchants of hate and bigotry. For it is an enemy you cannot defeat with your fists alone.
>>719514140This, although it always frustrated how much of a jobber he is in these shows
>>719513395Didn't he die back in blackest night or something?
>>719520215Full powered superman would solo everyone, even batman with full prep, because a krytopnite ring is not going to protect you when you're thrown into orbit at mach 7.It would make things boring as shit
>>719520454Right but you can moderate his power without making him a full on jobber like he is in Justice League and JLU most of the time. He's stronger in Superman TAS.Doesn't have to be one extreme or the other
>>719520546That's the problem though, how do you moderate it? Because people would then notice his power fluctuates to only make the battles competative which is more insulting than making him a jobber.
>>719520630Nah, the rules of his power only need to apply to the show or game he is in. As long as his power is consistent there, you're fine to build a narrative around it.
>>719520680Which again, would make it fluctuate, and people would point out the inconsistencies since one day he could flatten mountain, next he gets smacked around by a helicopter's minigun.If you're going to make a game, follow how Superman Smashes the Klan did it where he intentionally nerfs himself. (He doesn't even fly at first, he gets around by running on top of powerlines) and as the game goes on, he goes through character development to be at full power.
>>719520870I think you're misunderstanding. I'm saying it doesn't matter how strong he is in comics and movies, he only needs to be consistently strong inside of this game we're talking about being made. Just like how is strength in JL and JLU, the animated shows, is weak but consistent. As long as the show, or game establishes clear power levels, you can ignore everything else.
Literally just adapt these episodes into a game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfOby96KtfU
There are ways to do it anyway. Batman went through an entire Arkham game being poisoned, didn't he? Could always leverage some kryptonite poisoning and a slow recovery allowing his powers to return over time.
>>719513395make it an open world sand box game. If hes really that strong, then lean into it. Make the challenge come from saving EVERYONE and not letting any NPC die. Give the player a huge arsenal of super powers and let them creatively solve problems. You can sprinkle some challenging villains with kryptonite here and there.But if they ever make a Superman game it will be some action slop where the enemies are wearing kryptonite armor and just fly around and shooting everything that moves. Yay...
>>719513395It's actually about peeping on women
>>719513395His name is Clark.
>>719513395You said Kal-El and not Superman. Therefore make it a Superboy game. You start off young when he first gets his powers, allowing the player a natural progression into the role as powers unlock and threats escalate. Once you've unlocked everything and gotten used to playing as him, you get thrown into the future and it becomes a stealth Legion of Superheroes game.
>>719513395Just make another lego game this time with him as a protagonist. Nobody would ever complain about him being OP in these games(if anything it makes things more fun) and his theme playing as you fly around will always be a pinnacle of superman ludo
>>719513395How many times are you going to make this thread? What actually makes you this obsessed with getting a superman game?
>>719513395superman was for a different time and a different audience. you can tell how outdated he is when you read superman vs the elite and they have to make the ""bad guys"" blatantly savage barbarians to even give superman a chance of """"winning"""" the argument they were making that if you are the strongest you make the rules and therefore everything that happen only happens because you allowed it. In a world where people really despise their respective justice systems, governments, and experience a degree of anarcho-tyranny where they feel no one is solving the obvious visible problems, its hard to market a super hero brand with no kill rules that throw villains and violent criminals into revolving door prisons just to do it all over again.To some extent, superhero games can fix this problem by only having the main villains show up once or twice in the story. They can also make use of his traits like super speed or enhanced hearing etc for fulfilling non-combat or civilian tasks (muh walking simulatorfags fuck off) and minigames. He has a lot of powers to play with and master, as well as a lot of super hero friends to team up with for more grounded levels.So maybe you could design a game with interesting mechanics and missions, but superman himself is a pretty outdated thing that needs to be retired or changed fundementally.
>>719521679It would be a cool concept if you had a timer and a ton of stuff in metropolis to solve or people to save and time sensitive events. You have 3 days of being superman, but idk you got hexed at the very start of the game so you are nerfed to shit on day 1, then you get most of your powers back by day 2, and then day 3 you are at the peak of your powers but the day is basically apocalyptic with time sensitive events because you are finally fast and powerful enough to handle them reasonably. maybe have a score at the end based on stuff like relationship progress, keeping your identity hidden, people saved, super villains busted, cats taken down from trees, all kinds of goofy shit.Idk im not a game designer but I think there is a good concept in a game where you just try to max out your score and get a good ending being the best superman you can for a short period of time in metropolis.
>>719523417>Another timeSuperman's words from that movie, and the original series it was based on 'What's so funny about truth, justice and the America way?' mean more now than when the original comic was released. And you're totally missing the point of the story too.More importantly, we live in a time where conservatives think America would be better off if Superman acted like Homelander, or worse, be like Ben Shapiro and say Lex Luthor is the real hero in the James Gunn superman movie. Ignoring Luthor murdered an American in front of superman while torturing him and tried to destroy metropolis and even risked opening a black hole, just to spite him.With America falling more into authoritarianism, people need a big blue boy scout to stand up more than ever.
>>719516283That would be too wonderful to be able to exist in this world.
>>719523795>majoras mask superman where you have to rewind time over and over again to do everything in 24 hours
>>719524247Paint him in rainbows too, and have him beat up a stand in for trump, that'll really sell the american way.
>>719525125How about sealing corrupt mining magnates in their own unsafe mine to each them a lesson, or destroying the slums built by corrupt slumlords in order for them to be rebuilt decently? That's what superman used to do.
