>Violating my NDA as a way to stick it to WB Montreal and the way that WB has treated this company. As a result, I have to be careful about what I say and don't say. I figure that I can say quite a bit and still retain anonymity but I can't say anything or phrase things in a way to incriminate myself or give away what area of the game I'm working on. >As for what Rocksteady is working on, they started work on a Superman game but have run into many issues. Superman had to be depowered for part of the game and even at maximum strength they had him be much weaker than he normally is (there are skins that make him unstoppable). The plot saw him facing off against magical foes, as well as familiar faces like Lex Luthor and Metallo that would utilize Kryptonite. There was also a challenge mode, much like in the Arkham games. The plan was to announce this game at the Video Game Awards this year but that fell apart. >The coolest part about this project are the collectible skins. Each skin determines his move set and his weaknesses. The more powerful incarnations of Superman are harder to obtain, obviously. All of the movie incarnations of Superman are in as well as many of the comic versions. You can also play as Cyborg Superman, Zod, and even Nuclear Man from the God-awful Superman IV film (easter egg skin).

Why would you nerf superman for a bamham spinoff? You're basically immortal in arkham games as it is.
Xavier Flores
> You're basically immortal in arkham games as it is. Finally someone who undestand the fact that Bamham is invencible in the Arkham series if you play it right.
Ayden Wood
Everything DC does feels half-assed. The Batman games are boring as fuck and contain a minute of actual fighting. I'd praise Marvel, but they took out The X-Men from the new Marvel vs Capcom game, so I'm not even wasting my time on that crap.

like everyone in his villains list can give him a run for his money he's not that strong unless you go into powerwank shit like superman one trillion or someshit
Justin Parker
I mean he's not technically invincible, he's just so tough nothing on earth can really hurt him.
Exactly. It would be perfectly reasonable to just have him beat up on grunts who can't hurt him but he needs to stop them from committing crimes or the city's "safety" or something would take damage, then you could just have levels with all the enemies and their minions who are able to actually damage him.

This was never confirmed to be fake,some said that it was a model from Injustice 1 but the character model from this image is completly different(aside from the suit,of course) from the one in this image.
>Implying they wouldn't going to charge for unlockable skins.
Kayden Clark
There was a superman game that did that.
Hunter Robinson
Nah I know it was confirmed fake. The only Rocksteady thing in the air is the Beyond game/a game where you play as Damian that was getting major re-writes or some shit.

Well,Batman should be able to crush any henchman,but they are able to kill him in the Arkham series,but you aren't supposed to be defeated by them. Superman could fight against: >Darkseid:Darkseid Elite,Parademons,Furies,Apokolipse forces >Anti-Monitor:Shadows >Imperiex:His army >General Zod:Kryptonian forces >Rao:Followers(Weaker kryptonians) >Ulysses:Beings from the 5th dimension >Tyrell:His race >Mongul:Gladiators from Warworld >The Machinist:His robot army >Wraith:The USA army >Braninac:His robot forces Doesn't take that long to come up with a idea.
Aaron Gray
>superhero movies are consistently some of the worst in Hollywood right now Agreed at some point. >superhero games are, at their best, Ubisoft-esque open world games full of pointless collectibles Not the good ones. >all superhero comics are written by dumb idealists pushing political propaganda This is Marvel thing.
> if you were to make this thread on Sup Forums they would rip you to shreads because they're following Rocksteadys next game like a fucking hawk. Kek,do you know that there are two people on this whole "Rocksteady new game"? And one of them is the "Superman will be Rocksteady new game".

Your image explains it all. Superman has to step his game up because Goku isn't fucking around. If Goku is doing well, then Superman has to do just as well and vice versa. They can fucking murder Marvel, and Thanos looks like a bitch in comparison.

I don't get this "superman is hard to make games due to power level" issue. Sure in the 90s it made sense, but now where we've had games where you play gods and people just shy of that power level, Supes should be childs play. Especially considering unlike say Dante, his whole job revolves around keeping innocents out of harms way.
Benjamin Peterson
...
Jose Adams
I keep saying the same thing. The only hard thing about a Superman game is that he can fly at any given time. It isn't restricted to jet packs or boost packs. Figure that out and you're golden. I think Rocksteady's next game is Superman and they've been hinting at a reveal for the past three weeks now. It's only a matter of time
Robert Lee
They don't look the same: >Some hair parts are different >Chin is less square then Injustice >Nose is more pointy >Eyebrows are thicker >His collar is more fit in his neck >Eyes seems to be bigger >Check bone looks different
Levi Allen
Gods games though have them face other gods on their level. In DC, there aren't really many beings at supes level. Darkseid, maybe, but even when pushed, supes stomps him.
Sebastian Brooks
All of those are because of lighting.
Parker Smith
Rocksteady had a ton of Easter eggs about Superman and we know that Rocksteady tends to put alot of Easter eggs foreshadowing their next game,so is possible that they were hitting the fact that they were making a Superman game.
>The only hard thing about a Superman game is that he can fly at any given time They could perfect the flight mechanics in Superman Returns,that game had a good flight feel to it.
His chin,jaw and nose looks different,and it's not because of the lighting.
Logan White
Have him fight magic users since he's affected by magic
Blake Torres
Even that is easy now.
Superspeed: Supes doesn't have the speed force. Going above super sonic risks a sonic boom that could fuck up people or damage what he is trying to protect.
Flight: Again objective. Sure you flew across the level to the goal. But now the henchies are running wild with the loot or murdering people because you decided to play Tony Stark.
Hes got a decent selection.
Darkseid. Mogul Lobo Any smart guy with kryptonite Magical weapons Red Sun Aliens
MWs are especially important as this allows anyone to pose a threat in the proper setting. Again, wtf more do you need to start crafting a story?
Dylan Bailey

Alexander Gonzalez
This Boss fights could have xtra strong dudes like mongul or parastite, mobs could have red sun energy weapons
Eli Phillips
superchad is good but he has nothing on superdad
Oliver Ramirez
>That font
Jesus christ.
Joshua Torres
Who gives a fuck about Superman except maybe for some +50 year olds?
Oliver Thompson
Goddamnit,why could't we have both? I like Superdad,but Superchad was finaly becoming the Superbro we waited for.
Jacob Diaz
How many superman games do you get to begin with? Majority of these reasons is as if we're getting spammed to fight them nonstop. Furthermore I could say the same shit about games like Bayonette with "why doesn't she just pause time 24/7?"
>Aliens Make a new type or give energy attacks hurt him. Supes is stupidly durable can be overwhelmed.
>weaker than him Still able to go toe to toe with him for punching and have been shown to subdue him under the right circumstances. Without COMICS there are plenty of times they could have out right killed him.
>weakend Both items can be used in scenarios >Bad guys with krypto bullets/beams/weapons >Fortresses mimicking red sun I'm missing the reason why green bullets make people groan yet any other game using lead bullets or laser protected rooms just gets a pass.
>long distance Nearly every hero of a game could just take out the enemy from afar or with their ultimate attack.
The deeper issue seems to be is that Superman done right is the type who does all the missions people fucking hate in games (escort, timed protection, complete X under this circumstance) and not just punch their lights out.
Daniel Moore
Well,there was another menu selection that was leaked,the font was alright,the style was cool,but the model was terrible.Guess is one thing for the other.
Some claim this one is fake,I dunno,maybe it is.
Ian Allen
Supergirl or BETTER yet Power Girl cameos when?
Jordan Cooper
The problem with red sun bullets or green bullets is that you basically have to go >well, you get a superman game, but we'll have him depowered, because we can't have him be at full strength
The point of superhero games is to make you feel as the superhero. If you only give me the weakened version, you deny me the point.
Lincoln Kelly
I hate how there's tons of leaks out there confirming this games existence, but people scream fake. Yet, one fucking YouTube releases a video describing some concept art he saw from a Batman game nobody can confirm, yet people think that's real. It blows my mind.
Aaron Campbell
You can make a Superman game feel like Superman without having him punching shit to the moon and traveling across the earth. Jesus people, use your creativity
Alexander Wilson
Saints Row 4 handled crazy ass movement whenever you wanted fine. Hell so has basically every spider man game.
Isaac Taylor
That's true, but it's a bit different that being able to fly freely at any given time. I'm not saying it's impossible, just a tad difficult. I think Rocksteady could figure out a way to do it. I think they already have
Jose Clark
>The point of superhero games is to make you feel as the superhero. If you only give me the weakened version, you deny me the point. Hulk in "Ultimate Destruction" was pretty weak,yet I felt like Hulk because of his powers and fight capabilitys,the game wasn't boring. I think they should keep him powerfull,but not like his most powerfull versions,and make the gameplay mechanics feels good and the boss battles feels epic,then we will have a good Superman game.
Agreed,OST,animation and character model pretty much confirms that there is something.
Hudson Bennett
Real question is, when do you guys think Rocksteady will announce their next game?
Connor Allen
E3.
MAYBE Game Awards but that would mean we just get a dumb teaser. I don't suspect the game will come out sooner than Spring/Summer 2019 so a reveal this year is highly unlikely.
Eli Johnson
I agreed at some point,it would be boring if we should be worried about bullet if we are playing as Superman,we want to put our hands in our wips and take bullets from a 50.mm canon like it was nothing.But he doesn't need to slap and destroy universe,he just needs to be powerfull enough to feel like Superman,like throwing cars and destroying building with punchs shock waves. youtube.com/watch?v=6qaK0tW1APY youtube.com/watch?v=6BJ1-trrgqc
Superman Returns had a pretty damn cool flight mechanics.
I think in the end of this year,but a proper gameplay will come in the next year during the E3.
Jordan Miller
>subject line >Superman game made by Rocksteady >They say that it is made by WB Games Montreal well, which is it?
Christian Jenkins
I think maybe even sooner than that. They've been getting real active in their twitter posting concept art every couple of days.... they gotta have something to show soon. Otherwise, why build the hype?
Ryan Carter
I'm guessing Rocksteady with WB Montreal helping with some of the assets
Jordan Miller
I noticed that too
Charles Foster
As long as it's just Arkham art, I wouldn't read too much into it.
The game will be ridden with lootboxes anyway
James Cook
+plot armor +intelligence scales to what the story needs
Isaac Kelly
It's WB what else would you expect
Gavin Turner
WB Games Montreal often helps Rocksteady with some development,it happened with Arkham Knight.Maybe they made and programmed some stuff under Rocksteady's request so when they were over with AK they could pick up what WB has made.
they appear to be in heavy hiring mode, the game could be ways off
Chase Cook
I don’t want this Mary Sue garbage, I want a Batman Beyond game
Grayson Reyes
is superman the superhero equivalent of "that kid"? >bang bang, I shoot you! >"nah-ah, I was wearing a big metal suit that is bullet proof!" >dude we are playing cowboys >"whatever, you cant catch me! im super fast!" >you just said that you have a big metal suit >"but im also super strong!"
Evan Perez
Lets be honest was anyone ever NOT that kid? I remember games like that always devolving into pure bullshitting contests in elementary school.
Jaxson Campbell
Well everyone he faces are like that too. >"I'am the smartest here and I also really rich,like richest man on the planet" >"I'am a god who commands a entire army,my eye beams can travel over the light speed and can turn 90° at any direction."
They've been that way for a while. Rocksteady had a bunch of hiring right before they announced Knight though, so it could mean anything
Dominic Rodriguez
People really should watch All-Star Superman,this pretty damn much says what Superman is about. youtube.com/watch?v=m24kwF1b6Ks
Cooper Flores
>DCEU is a dumpster fire >Arkham Knight was a massive disappointment where everything was dumbed down and the batmobile actively ruined missions >Injustice 2's gear system makes the art design an eyesore for most characters, even the first game had a handful of comic accurate skins >no other games are in development >Teen Titans Go is shit >JL Action is okay, but nothing special
I mean Rebirth is great and all, but lets not pretend the actual DC media isn't a disaster.
Picking sides in capeshit is as stupid as being a console warrior.
