Hey Poor Player's Mike Vito writes - "I was what you would call a comic book “fan” when I was a kid. I didn’t collect any particular publisher or story arc, but I would simply take a look at what was on the shelf and just pick up whichever cover had the best artwork. In 1992, I believe almost every one of my friends became a comic book fan for at least one month, and it was all because Superman, the icon, who had helped create the super hero genre, died."
The Game Over Greggy show, from the Youtube channel Kinda Funny want to know why there has never been a good Superman game.
The perfect question for a 6 year old girl who doesn't know who the Man of Steel is, right?
Superman; he stands for everything that justice should be and yet a great injustice has been put onto us gamers the world around. Superman is arguably the greatest hero the world over and yet gamers have been burned by his presence time and time again. It is safe to say at this point that no publisher or developer dares take a shot at creating a game that stars the man of steel. Many have tried for many of years now and all have failed in one way or another. In comic book and in film, fans of the superhero have been able to enjoy him in all his glory in one way or another, but not us gamers. It is our time to get the Superman we all have always wanted; it is our time to get the Superman we deserve.
Man, I remember Superman for the Atari 2600. Back in the day, it was a great game (and yes, I'm THAT old - LOL). Great article BTW. I'd love to see Supes get his due with an epic, next-gen game.
Cough Cough
OT: interesting to see but it could be quite difficult (being what superman can do)
Hey if Rocksteady can put Bats back on the map, think of what they could do with Supes.
This iteration of 4LOG Likes focuses on different games of the Beat 'Em Up genre. Find out which game the 4LOG crew picks as their favorite Beat 'Em Up.
They turned the death and return of Superman into a beat-em-up?
Man, they've never used Superman well in games, have they?
Surprised it doesn't have co-op. It'd be the perfect opportunity to get Batman in there.
I remember everyone picking up the comic thinking it may be worth something some day.
I remember trying to rent this game, but it was never there! The box looked cool.
