I know this sounds crazy, but at the same time just think about how amazing this could be. I mean the movie is looking like it might be huge, one serious blockbuster coming out in 2016.
But can you really think of a better battle then this? Or a better superhero video game that you would rather play. (Ok sadly this is not happening)
This is just to talk about how epic it would be, if movie companies actually did video games based off of the movie the right way.
Two of the most iconic superheroes of our time set to fight each other, Just wow, if you're hyped for the movie, doesn’t it seem like there should be a Video Game.
I know what you're thinking, No! Just about every Movie Game always sucks, this would be no different. Well yeah, I almost would agree with you, except, just this morning (while I was drinking my morning coffee) It came to me, just how this could work.
And yes a lot of good ideas come to me when I’m drinking coffee in the morning, I just don’t always write them down.
You see the problem with Movie Video Games is they always get the wrong team to make the game, so of course it sucks. They don’t do it with the Movie because they know it would fail big time, but for some reason they do it with the Video Game.
(So for example if they got no-name actors and a weak director, no-one would care about this movie) So they get Ben Affleck and the guy who played superman in the last superman movie.
-But what’s really needed, is for the movie companies to pick a Video Game company that can make the video game version of the movie. (and when picking this company, you choose a company that fits the game style you are trying to create, so a game company that has made something awesome and has experience in making something similar to what the Movie is like)
So I pick → Sucker Punch Productions because they made Infamous, and they would be the perfect company to create a superhero game of this type. Especially since Infamous was basically a superhero movie in itself.
So right now your saying, “ok, ok, but how does the video game play out.? How would it work?
I’m glad you asked, I see it playing out like this.
Your either Batman, or your Superman. And the game start’s with you picking which one you want to be. Once you choose, you're given a quick back-story of your character and then boom, your dropped right into the action, no warm-up.
Just drops you straight into it. Well not quite, but you get the idea, the City’s burning and it’s your job to save the world of course. -(The story of every superhero) There will be a slow build up before you even meet Superman or Batman depending on who you picked to start with.
One thing Infamous, did really well was slowing getting your powers up to speed, so you start off pretty weak, still more powers than anyone else but still not really that powerful just yet, you have to slowly build up your superpowers.
Same thing here, you would start off with things or powers and slowly get more powerful by the time you actually meet up with Batman or Superman.
This slow grind would be a big part of the game as it get’s you to start to feel like you are your character and you are becoming really good with his skills. You begin to believe you are the superhero. All building up to the iconic battle.
This would be the game, gamers would love, but it’s not the game we will get. Sadly it looks like there is no video game planned.
So do you agree, do you think this could be an awesome video game. Or should movie companies just forget making a game?
Dear team,
Xbox has always been different.
We started with a simple idea. Games should bring people together through shared experiences. That led to the first Xbox in 2001, Xbox Live in 2002, and new ways to connect, from friends lists and achievements to parties and play across devices. Today, Xbox reaches over 500 million players around the world, with some of the most important franchises in entertainment.
re-evaluating exclusivity 💀
PS players will need to go back to pretending to dislike Xbox games
Or meaning since it’s doing so good they might just do everything day 1.
They didnt say re-evaluating their multiplatform approach.
🤣🤣🤣 Xbox is so dead. I know you scared🤣🫵ӿ 97;
Aww you’re hurt that they’re going back to exclusives!
The mask has slipped… we know you PS gamers LOVE Xbox games
Hurt over video games 🤣🤣
Lmao we all grew and got jobs but apparently you stayed home broke 🤣🤣.
Man I love loyal dogs like you. MS kicked Spit and slapped you around but you still come back on all 4s.
Good little boy 🤣🤣
My only question is what games are PlayStation gamers gonna play now? They don’t really come out with new games anymore. I’m looking forward to wolverine, but after that then what?
Lmao
There’s no way after everything it’s going back, the damage is done
What you are seeing now is the new management telling what the core fanbase (aka…you) want to hear so they are pumped full of hope and are more likely to invest in the next Xbox console
When Phil took over after the awful Xbox One reveal he did the same thing, he told people what they wanted to hear for damage control.
It’s crazy people are getting suckered into this again.
And you'll now go back to again thinking exclusives suddenly matter, that multiplatform is no longer the future, or that revenue from multiplatforms doesn't matter, like all you flop flopping xbox grifters lol.
The whole post just sounds like the previous phil corpo slop talk to me, whole thing reads like a nothing burger lol.
“re-evaluating exclusivity”
She also said this.
“The model that got us here won’t be the one that takes us forward.”
If they go back to exclusive games it at least shows that they are finally getting it. They would be turning down immediate money for something that will potentially workout in the long term.
Only issue is they've already opened Pandora's box. A lot of their base has moved to PC or jumped to PS. So will be a long road to get back on track.
We have been saying this from day one exclusives are a must if you are going to be selling hardware look at Nintendo and Sony before Jim Ryan. That's the proven formula. You had some that were deluded and blinded by loyalty accepting that multiplat was the future and that MS was merely getting ahead of where the industry was headed, but at least they can finally see the light and agree with what everyone has been saying for a decade+
True, blame it on the rabid fanboys. MS can do no wrong and spinner this multiplatform move. While the actual fans moved on.
I feel like with the new Xbox coming they are hoping to bring back those old fans and then if it goes well. Bring back exclusives.
If the new console is performing like series x and one. Naw they staying multiplatform.
I think it's too late, xbox sales were diving even before ABK, they got even worse since then even long before the full multiplatform push. I'd be surprised if they even went back to timed exclusivity at this point, Helix is basically a PC and is going to be expensive, they already struggle to sell cheaper xbox consoles, it will be low volume and they'll have a very small 'console' base to sell to, which has already been conditioned to just play via gamepass anyway.
Despite all of that, it's clear that Microsoft's Xbox division is broken beyond repair.
It isnt. But I dont think they mean in 'games', rather, footprint.
They own the OS but as far as gaming is concerned, Steam dominate. I imagine the VAST majority of people who use the Xbox app/launcher are PC gamepass subs. No ones buying their 3rd party PC games through Xbox PC.
Insider Gaming writes: "Marathon was one of the best-selling video games in March 2026 in the United States. On Wednesday, Circna released the best-selling games of the month, and it featured six new releases along with two games returning to the top 20 after previously falling out."
Is it April fools day again?
The game is dead.
EDIT: the numbers are fudged. “digital sales on Nintendo and Xbox weren’t included in the data”
well it's not on Switch / Switch 2.. so their number would be zero.
The game had a decent launch however the userbase numbers are dwindling on Steam.

Does it hurt you to hear a SONY game was BEST selling ?
You gotta let go of those OBCURED feelings 🤷🏿
I mean the only reason MLB was the best selling title was because it was multi-platform. Likewise with Marathon. Will ring true for MS games. Only Nintendo titles are truly flexing their muscles when they chart as they are only to be found there.
Yeah sure, yet the player count is no where near what they want for a AAA game with so much money behind it
Why people are trying to spin this game like it’s done overly amazing is baffling to me.
It won’t even be a blip on peoples radars by the end of the year .
The release on Steam of the anime-style gacha-less open-world RPG DragonSword: Awakening is facing a legal challenge from its gacha publisher.
Arkham knight dlc?
Im sure a Mobile game will be made
You would first have to make a good Superman game, then create a scale into what's become the model for a Batman game.
Also, the issue with movie games isn't - wholly - who they get to make them, but the relatively short amount of they're given. Which goes double in this era of games needing more production time.
It's easy to be cynical and say it would be another crappy licensed game but then I think of power suit Batman punching Superman through a wall and I get goosebumps.
Fully destructible open world super hero game... In my mind that is the ultimate video game.
Once that is achieved, the gaming industry will be fresh out of innovations.
But for the moment, I'd be happy with BvS DLC for Arkham Knight.
of course it can be, however devs still need to solve how to do Superman right...
