Why Rocksteady Studios Shouldn’t Make a Superman Video Game

Gamerant

First off, I want to say that I’m a huge fan of Superman. Among all the superheroes, both DC and Marvel, Superman has always stood out to me because of the power fantasy. He’s everything the average human aspires to be on the inside, and outside he’s extremely fast, strong, and, best of all, he can fly.

Now, all of those qualities lend themselves very well to various storytelling mediums. There have been great Superman comics (of course), movies, and TV shows, but so far there has yet to be a truly great Superman game. Some believe that Rocksteady Studios, the folks behind the Batman: Arkham series, should be the ones to take a crack at Superman, and in fact there have been rumors and hints that the studio might be just doing that. I think they shouldn’t, and here’s why.

Rocksteady's New Game Director Is an Assassin's Creed Franchise Veteran

Rocksteady has hired a new game director that not only is an Assassin's Creed franchise veteran but even worked on the Batman Arkham games.

Blad3runner00265d ago

I wonder if ex Ubisoft employees put “worked on Assassins Creed” on their resume or not, as it would give an automatic red flag to avoid hiring them.

cloganart265d ago

Unlike what we may personally think, most AC games have received generally favorable critical acclaim and managed enough commercial success to warrant an uncomfortable amount of sequels. 😂

neutralgamer1992265d ago

A series which has sold over 200 million copies should be on your resume contrary to popular belief people doing the hire want to know if you have had success before

TheColbertinator265d ago

Plenty of gamers enjoyed Valhalla, Odyssey, Ezio's trilogy and the Origins. High critical acclaim and high sellers to boot. Get off your high horse.

Inverno265d ago

The vast majority of the industry follow the Assassin's Creed template for open world games. The issue is fanboys wanna act blind to the fact that all the issues they have with AC are present in all the open world games made in the last decade. While also not having touched an AC game in that long.

It could be great! He worked as Design Director on Arkham: Origins & Game Director on Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Valhalla and Origins.

I think this is a great sign that Rocksteady is shifting back to a Single Player experience after Suicide Squad.That's reason enough for me to celebrate.

Time to copy and paste Altairman and his hidden batblade ability.

Sad to see that so many have lost jobs.

RiseNShine501d ago

But I thought GaaS was the future!

Christopher500d ago

Let's be honest, GaaS was the least of this game's issues.

HBO’s “The Penguin” Makes Me Want A Batman-Less Arkham Game

Shaz from GL: "HBO's The Penguin proves that you don't need Batman to tell a Batman story, which makes me wonder if the same could be done for a video game."

Enough of Batman less Gotham games

zsquaresoff558d ago

The only reason why anyone is watching this show is because it is in the 'Batman Universe'

GhostScholar557d ago

We got that with Arkham knights. Wasn’t great

GhostScholar557d ago

Yes I know it was called Gotham knights lol I said Arkham because if may as well been called that because it was basically a sequel.

Flewid638556d ago (Edited 556d ago )

Gotham Knights had zero connection to the Arkham series. Totally separate universe.

Rebel_Scum557d ago

Yeah no thanks. Not a fan at all of playing as other characters like Nightwing, Robin, Harley etc. Don't even like their detective mechanics much so Gordon is out too.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH557d ago

Nah Batman is needed. I only want to play as Batman in the “Batman Universe “
