Just Make a Superman Game Already

Honestly it could be like a Candy Crush type mobile game and so long as he’s not evil I’d be happy with it

You know what would make this pitch really work? Flying through rings

It really speaks to the mindset of humanity when they can't fathom how a powerful man can be kind at the same time.

Imagine all the suits in that Superman game

It is the year 2024 and Superman 64 is still the best known Superman game. Let that sink in.

Lois lane stealth missions 10/10 game of the year

I'd absolutely love a Superman game showing the wholesome friendly nature of him. Like how the Spiderman games for Sony let you interact with the people of the city a bit. Doing missions giving them a hand. I'd love to have missions helping a girl get her balloon while you're balancing fighting bad guys. Stuff that does show off that boy scout quality to Superman.

I think if a Superman game is made they should have an optional side story where it's just Clark having to go out and get coffee or something for his friends/coworkers and there's the option to take down people robbing people's purses/wallets while still holding back with his powers It'd be fun and funny Also doing all of these should totally unlock an outfit that has a Newspaper design to it

For how Superman’s health could work how about two heath bars, a normal health bar and an invincibility bar. The invincibility will allow Superman to take punches pretty easily and bullets will just bounce off him, but when that’s depleted during the normal health bar bullets and punches will knock you back more and leave you less time to attack. When facing kryptonite enemies they’ll skip your invincible bar and go straight for your regular health even if your at max invincibility. I think it’s a good idea, but not sure how it would an an actual game

Whatever Superman game anyone try to create: No more edgy Supes! Just a cute-nice-dorky guy who try to balance his everyday life and superhero life.

A nemesis like system about the people you save as Superman is SUPER on brand for the character.

The idea of the flight feeling like a leveled-up version of the wingsuit in SM2 is enticing. The idea of Supes pulling tricks while rounding corners at a high speed, putting in animations of him flying facing upwards, running his hand through leaves/the water under him, etc. would feel great and would do a lot for his relationship with metropolis. I agree it would be awesome for it to take place early and move forward with his early journey and unlocking the full suit and abilities, maybe even a time jump, though not always a fan of those.

It would be cool if during the climax of the game, the more people you saved during the side quests, the more people would cheer Superman on

Superman is actually very stealthy, his xray vision and super hiring cold be used in some missions, maybe you cold play as "Clark kent" and use your powers to investigate a "party" for exemple, like in hitman. And i think Lois and Jimmy definitely should know that Clark is superman already.

I'd love to see a Lantern Corps game where you can choose which Lantern Corps to play under.

Having Superman start with the jeans and wanting a better outfit could be a fun way to have costume unlocks throughout the game. Maybe have an early mission where you save a taylor who can help you out, you have secrets and challenges that give Clark ideas for new costumes that you then have to collect crafting materials for and give to the tailor. Like he defeats a miniboss, thinks they had a cool costume, you see a sketch pop up with a new costume idea that clark wants to try. The dorkier you can make clark the better.

In terms of visual style for games a go by the thought of: "Realism is fleeting, style is immortal." If a game achieves a certain visual style, it will always be looked upon in the same light and thus be immune to the technological advancements of visuals, as well as establishing a unique identity.

Martian manhunter can also be like a night wing support type character who interacts and helps superman

I like your idea of Metropolis becoming hopeful as the game process as well as the "friend system", and I think it'd be a cool if those ideas transformed into the level system similar to Okami. In Okami, you get stronger, not by combat, but helping people and them praising you as a god. You could do something similar where the more hope you bring to the city, the stronger you get.
