>>121958183Here's my idea for a good Superman game. Don't make a game about modern day Superman. Make a video game about Golden Age Superman. It solves all the problems that people say Superman games can't overcome.
Superman is too op? Golden Age Superman has only has Super Jumping, Superstrength and Speed. Much more reasonable for a game designer to work with. Maybe you can unlock heat vision or freeze breath in the late game
.
Superman causes too much collateral in his fights? Golden Age Supermans powerset is reasonable enough that Collateral wont be too much of an issue.
Superman doesn't kill? Golden Age Superman has a body count and is proud of it. If you need to justify him killing, just have the bad guys be Nazis or Japanese Saboteurs like in the Fleschier shorts. Bad guys we know are morally repugnant and don't have to think too hard about fighting.
Superman would be contained by a Sandbox in a typical open world Superhero game? Golden Age superman doesn't need to fly around the world to stop giant monsters. Just bank robbers or boss fights in Metropolis.
Basically. Make an Infamous game set during the Great Depression in a Retrofuturistic Art Deco New York. Then when you've got your foot in the door for the general audience thinking 'hey, maybe a Superman game CAN be good.' Thats when you can afford to experiment in the second game about making him more like the version of Superman people want to play.
