The Flash Needs a Game (and How to Make It Work)

I think a flash game should be a cooking simulator where you have to run to adoption centres and quickly bring babies to a microwave kitchen. This would change superhero games.

Um, excuse you, Troy, the perfect Flash game already exists and it’s called Pizza Tower (2023)

Needs Reverse Flash taunting Barry for the entire game, and when the player is leveled up high enough, then he can catch him.

I’d actually really love to see your in-depth pitch for a Flash game. Your time loop idea sounds pretty cool and I’m interested in seeing how you’d use Grodd and Gorilla City.

I know it’ll never happen but I’d love a Green Arrow and Black Canary team up game, kinda like a 3rd person fighter version of “it takes two”

I can only imagine just playing the flash game and you randomly hear, "IT WAS ME BARRY!!!!" when you were busy doing some of the silliest side missions

I would love the idea of captain cold just being extremely difficult, and having his Location being about how every time you try to stop one of his plans that in turn causes another problem. Like you hear a robberies going on, see you go to stop it and you get sniped from another building. So you go and check it out before hand, but it turns out it was motion detected which set off a bomb in another location. So you go to try to disarm the bombs first but then it just alerts the goons, and so on

Just for the record: I'D LOVE TO HAVE SEEN A FULL-FLESHED PITCH VIDEO! I know yt forces creators to not risk making more high effort content because of how the algorithm works, but I miss those longer videos where you go in depth with your ideas!!

Game mode: One Minute War. Got nothing to do with the actual comic story, just a timer with one minute and you have to do as much good as you can

Excuse me, Mr. Boyo, but I, as a member of your audience, would very much want to see a full pitch of a Flash game story.

A Flash videogame could really give audiences a new loook into why the character is such a great hero and with gameplay mechanics rhat utilises his abilities in a unique way and has great story and characterisation of the character akin to to how Insomniac nailed Spiderman. I can already imagine all the amazing boss fights they could apply to The Rouges and ither Flash villains

Infamous: First Light is by far the best game I’ve seen at incorporating super speed. The Flash could really build off of that

considering the failure of the movie, a game could be an interesting way to introduce flash to the dcu

I honestly think it is criminal that a daredevil game doesn’t exsist. He is a great fighter with a decent rouges gallery. He has so many amazing storylines to take ideas from. Also his powers could be so interesting in a game like imagine an investigation sequence where you you first need to taste the gun residue in the air to determine what gun killed him, then scan his body for cause of death or something. Point being it would be cool. You could make a cool parkour system as well with the staff being a grappling hook like in the show. Just typing this makes me so so sad, so many missed opportunities😢

Here's a potential plot: - Barry Allen has disappeared and Wally West must take his place and investigate the disappearance while simultaneously being taunted by Reverse Flash, and having fights with The Rogues.

Despite him being fairly obscure and not well known, a Moon Knight game would be fantastic as a choose your own adventure type where you would pick with alters to correlate with (Spector, Grant, Lockley, Khonshu) and the story would change depending on which alter you side with

I wanna see the Green Arrow + Green Lantern comic run turned into a game. Make it linear like Last of Us instead of open world and make good use of having two protagonists to choose from. If Spider-Man 2 does well (because it will) it could open the door for more dual main character stories in games and I think this story would work well for that.

Barry Allen, Wally West, Jay Garrick, Max Mercury, Impulse, RF(Eobard), Inertia, Thinker, Captain Cold, Pied Piper, Weather Wizard, Captain Boomerang, Godspeed, Zoom, AND RF(Daniel West). Those are who I wanna see.

I think what would be perfect for the post-game is setting a challenge for the perfect loop. Make it possible for you to be able to complete everything in one loop: all of the bosses, sidequests, "random" timed crimes, etc. But make it very difficult. The player needs to have their route planned out, certain challenges are far away from each other requiring you to be able to traverse the city efficiently, but the game makes it clear that it is possible. I always felt weird in Majora's Mask that it is unlikely that you'll solve everything in one run and to an extent its impossible (failing to do some missions opens the path to others) and I've always wished to try to plan out as close to a perfect 3 day cycle as possible, and I think this game is perfect for that.
