Could a Superman game with Devil May Cry 5 type gameplay work?

capeshit sucks and is for small children

Considering we're on a nintendo board, this kind of stuff is to be expected.
Julian Martinez
A superman game can't work for the same reason a movie can't work.
Too many people are retarded and treat him like alien Jesus when he's just a normal wholesome american dude.
That scene in Kill Bill was retarded bullshit. He might be an alien but he was raised human with american values.
Luke Cooper
No. Literally every Superman game they've ever tried are beat em up styled. None of them work well.
Everything that Superman does that you could incorporate into a game would be a novelty that would wear thin way too quickly. If you wanted a non-fighting game that has Superman as a character, you'd have to do a Justice League game instead. From there you'd have to either separate it one of two ways. Either all the characters have different mission types bound to them so you couldn't just power through everything with Superman, or characters would have to have a cooldown so you could use Superman once and make things easy for you, but then you'd have to rely on other Justice League members for other tasks or missions.
Outside of that the only other option would be nerfing Superman or buffing everyone else, both of which are always lame.

slap superman in the phantom zone for CUHRAAZY gameplay or some alien planet filled with super strong aliens that he can beat up on/or it has a smaller yellow sun and he's not as strong
putting him on earth instantly nerfs the gameplay because as the player picks up the controller he's going to want to fly through a building at mach 7
Jaxson Green
Just make a game where a bunch of magical characters from the DC universe come together to nerf Superman and your goal is to defeat them one by one, getting more of your power back as you do so. Maybe have it be a plot by Lex where he hired them all. Throw in some of his regular enemies in between to make it interesting.
Jaxon Moore
If it's set on Earth, I can only see a Superman game working as a kind of novelty game, like some kind of god game where you have to look after Metropolis and deal with all sorts of crimes and threats to the city over the course of a year or so. You could still have some action game in it, where Superman is potentially very strong but if you're not careful, he could end up doing more damage to the city than your opponent set out to do. And of course, managing his time as Clark Kent.
Angel Butler
Superman flying should feel like Ace Combat and fighting should feel like NieR Automata mixed with Devin May Cry
That's stupid, Superman's powers are what people want.
Leo Fisher
>as the player picks up the controller he's going to want to fly through a building at mach 7
Oh no, that would be... Fun
Logan Cruz
If those Superman games didn't have his name on them they'd still be bad. It has nothing to do with him being Superman.
Anthony Cox
Either that or a musou are the best options for a Supes game. Just put a bunch of enemies that are a pushover but make the combat itself fun to play.
Sebastian Ross
Superman having to combo someone is ridiculous. Now The Flash on the other hand...
Lucas Hill
it would be great but from a level designer standpoint, it'd be a nightmare
Luis Morales
The only reason why no good Superman game has been made is because no Jap dev has touched it yet. All you fucks saying "b-but Superman is too stronk" has never played a fucking video game before.
Adam Cox
A SUPERMAN GAME ISN'T HARD TO MAKE.
1) INTRO LEVELS IS SUPERMAN BEING SUPERMAN AND WRECKING SHIT ALL DAY EVERY DAY
2) VILLAIN TURNS SUN RED
3) SUPERMAN GETS WEAKER AS THE LEVELS GO ON DUE TO LACK OF YELLOW SUNLIGHT. VILLAINS ARE STRONGER, SUPERMAN GETS HIS ANUS WRECKED, AND CAN NO LONGER JUST BUST DOWN WALLS.
A) ALTERNATE: KRYPTONITE METEOR SHOWERS MAKES KRYPTONITE EASILY ACESSIBLE AND EVERYONE HAS KRYPTONITE EVERYTHING.
Adam Morales
yes if you drop every shit form of Superman autists like you want and instead make a game around corny-ass boyscout Silver Age Superman
Adrian Bailey
>Make him not Superman
I'm happy you aren't making these games
Bentley Jones
When the idea of the game starts with "how do we make a game with Superman in it" and those games are the conclusion, it does have to do with Superman. You're right that they'd be bad with or without him though.
But the question was could you make a good Superman game with DMC gameplay? I don't think it would work cause it'd be the opposite of what you said. Where if it ended up being a good game, Superman wouldn't really have anything to do with it.
I gave my idea of what you'd have to do to make a Superman game work.
Tyler Garcia
replace DMC 5 with godhand with on rail shooters sections ala starfox when flying and we got GOAT
Isaac Myers
Here's how you make a good superman game
>kill superman in the opening cutscene
>play as batman the rest of the game
Isaac Robinson
A red sun creating a weaker superman has been the plot for at least 4 different superman stories I can name off the top of my head, with superman learning how to be hero just as a man.
Aiden Powell
Batman is fucking trash
Aiden Sullivan
Nerfing Superman or buffing villains is a lame concept from the start that has also been done to death.
The problem with that is the novelty of the game wearing off quick. Unless the name of the game was "Superman Simulator" and the game acknowledges that you're bullshit ridiculous and nothing can hurt you.
Connor Fisher
Superman would have been a fantastic option for pre-Walking Dead Telltale.
Xavier Harris
>b-but Superman is invincible and can OHKO everyone
He has a health bar in Injustice and no one gives a shit. It's a video game.
Jayden Butler
How does Superman feel about abortion
What are his politics if he grew up in Kansas
Alexander Green
you see? Saying shit like this is why you Superautists are downright pathetic and deserve garbage. Make the setting silly and then who fucking cares if a random mook can hurt you in a world where things like Titano exist
Leo Cooper
At least he's not superman lol
Logan Rivera
And people want to fly around the solar system and do amazing feats of strength, speed and invulnerability.
With that said, a game that has a decent emphasis on Clark Kent would be nice.
Elijah Allen
Megaton Rainfall
Isaac Ortiz
The only problem is flight, since he can pretty much fly indefinitively, I dunno how that would be on the controls/keyboard, but it would be a mess.
Colton Richardson
They could make a game about Kal-L during his earlier years and make him just able to jump really high
Jacob Martin
Make it 2D, like a Megaman X with the falcon armor, compensate for the lack of platforming difficulty.
Robert Wright
Cool as that is, Superman the character is established as being more than a flying brick. It does fulfill part of the appeal, but not all of it.
