  • Superman video games, right? Do I have to say anything else? You're probably already picturing Superman 64 in your head, or thinking about how there are ZERO Superman games that are anything close to good. Here's the deal, though... There's a bit of a misconception out there. Are there some TERRIBLE Superman games on the market? Yes, without a doubt. But are they ALL bad? On today's episode of Superman For Everyone, we'll talk all about it. You may be surprised by the answer.

    This needs a part 2! It's so strange to me that developers can't make a good standalone Superman game anymore. The last "good" standalone game was Superman Returns & that was like 15+ years ago. Now WB only puts Superman in team games i.e. Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, Injustice 1 & 2, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. I'm wondering what that canceled Superman game by Rocksteady could've been...

    my dad was a big Superman fan and as a kid he got me a ps2, and somehow found this retro store with superman: rise of apocalypse after i begged for it without even knowing anything about it. i’ll always have fond memories of this game, i still spin it up every couple months for nostalgia.

  • @AdamSMessinger
    @AdamSMessinger 2 года назад +4

    This was awesome! The only three of these I played was the arcade game, the genesis game, and the Death and Return game. There is a twitch streamer who has a “pay to play” thing where if you pay him $5-10 he’d play a retro game of the viewer’s choice. I had him play Superman for Genesis. The night after he spent a stream with that, he upped the pay to play to like $25-30. I payed him $30 a few months later to beat it. After about 3-4 days of streams, he did. No save states, just the continues the game gives you. He earned that $.
    My dad got me into comics with cartoons and movies and stuff. One of my earliest memories is of him and I at a bowling alley playing the Superman arcade game. He had a stool for me. For some reason I thought my player 2 Superman was a black dude and I thought it was so cool to play as this “obscure character”. It wasn’t until my 20’s when I got to play it again and realized it was simply a palate swap lol. Thanks for the episode!

    Hey man just wanted to tell you that your very appreciated in November of 2021 [I know I just dated this comment] with ALL THE CRAP going on in our wonderful world right now from Political to Hollywood.... watching RUclips has literally been my only escapism, bc I CHOOSE EVERY ASPECT OF WHAT I WATCH. Started watching you back when your MK Documentaries were coming out and what made me hit "subscribe" was right after seeing you tear up talking about your memories with your dad..... my dad just turned 60, and we will occasionally have a gaming memory moment like Breath of the Wild or God or War [2018] where we play together but the game that will tear me up in the future when he's gone will be "Silent Hill 1" and Silent Hill 2.... those are some of my favorite memories with him growing up and I just want to tell you Thank You. Oh and I don't know if you read these or take suggestions from fans but I just wanted to say that your scripted review/documentary format is your golden goose, seriously I think you should try out the American Mcgee Alice Dulogy of games... the second one "Madness Returns" I would love to hear your take on the human psyche, trauma, "Cheddar-Pizza" and "Rap" "eng", it is a Mature Rated game but the visuals and story really are top notch

While I never played any of his games, I’m very curious now to try Shadow of Apokolips, as I have a soft spot for cell shaded games, especially when it comes to comic characters. Thank you for this one, Ian, and I can’t wait for more of this inspiring series.

Couldn't get past the first few levels because of how hard it felt to me back then so just played it for a while and then switched back to play Mortal Kombat 2 with my brother.
    Many years later, decided to go ahead and play it again emulated (audience booing) but it was the SNES version. ^^;

    I remember playing or owning the first three Superman games you featured on NES, Arcade, and the first Genesis one. My favorite was always the Taito Arcade version. There was an ice rink across town that had the game in it's Arcade that I would play constantly during skating breaks. You had so much freedom with the gameplay, where you could float in side-scrolling mode, throw unlimited charged punches, and use both charged punches and heat vision in flying mode.
    I think this game came out the same time as the often-forgotten Ruby Spears Superman cartoon that ran on CBS Saturday mornings in 1988, Superman's 50th birthday.

    It was the middle of the night and I went to a 24 hour Walmart near by looking for a new game. Low and behold.. they had just put out Superman 64. It was in a cool box that had some gold decals on it and it was 69.99+ tax.... So I got it and took it home. Of course the internet was in its infancy at the time so I had no easy access to get any info on the game and only thing I had seen in magazines was previews beforehand because it had literally just came out. Needless to say I was not too happy about it lol!!I was able to take it to a business called Game Exchange and I was able to get around 30 bucks in store credit. They knew it had just came out but did not know how bad it was so I at least got some of the money back.

    I've always said, making a triple A Superman game with Arkham levels of immersion is going to be tricky, because the difficulty doesn't come from thinking how you're going to take down hordes of enemies like Batman. It comes from thinking how you're going to take down hordes of enemies without damaging the civilians or the city around you. Then comes actually balancing combat; common thugs should be absolute fodder to Superman. Sit there and soak up bullets all day, zero consequences. But then you get bigger threats like Intergang, who could take advantage of weaknesses like electricity and soundwaves. That could open the door for a Livewire boss fight. Then you get enemies like Mr. Mxyzptlck capable of magic. Finally, you can take advantage of Kryptonite with enemies like Metallo and Lex Luthor. Only step up from there is enemies genuinely capable out out-brawning Superman like Darkseid and Doomsday.

    ‘Death and Return’ was my first and only Superman game I played until Superman Returns. Returns is a good superman game as far as being able to play as him and have his powers. The free roam and flying mechanics were very well done but it was just pretty lacking everywhere else. I still play it from time to time because it feels so good flying. And I did appreciate their system of making Superman vulnerable as far as having Metropolis be the health bar of sorts.

    If I had to choose I'd say I'd like to hear your opinions on favorite superman comic runs. While thinking of new subjects I'm curious of your selection on best on screen adaptations of superman, personally I can't stand Cavill but that's me. I appreciate your passion for the series and I hope this continues dude..

    Great vid as always, Ian. Really glad to see this series return.
    The only Superman game I've ever played is "Shadow of Apokolips" which I liked because it was so much like the animated series. (Was a bit sad there's no stage on Apokolips.)
    In terms of future episodes, how about a breakdown of either the animated series (favorite episodes and why) or your favorite Superman villains.

    I've never heard of Shadow of Apokolips. It must've come out the same time around Batman: Vengeance which also felt like a long special or several episodes of Batman TAS. Something they tried to do again with Rise of Sin Tsu, but... it wasn't nearly as memorable for me.

    Also Death and Return was one of my favorite games as a kid(alongside Maximum Carnage). I am almost positive me and my brother beat it, because we played it constantly, but I really doubt I could do it now. With games the way they are, your gaming skills(besides shooting) seem to be much duller with infinite continues, save points and all kinds of other conveniences. But that game was BADASS and it was so cool playing as all the different versions.

    Death and Return of Superman isn't that hard once you learn the trick to finding healing and power items by smashing enemies into the walls in the background. Saving your big special moves for the bosses helps a lot, too. I've beaten the game many many times, but even then it's very hard to not do it without continuing and next to impossible to do without dying.

    • @616Entertainment
      @616Entertainment  2 года назад

      @lindyxmjh4589 2 года назад

      @@616Entertainment The bosses deal out a ton of damage with one combo, though, which is where I always died the most. The flying guys are annoying, but like all of the enemies they are not random they come out at the same order in the same place and the same time. A good strategy is to single them out by flying up (the other trick of the game, your character can fly where the enemies below can't even touch you) and taking out the flying enemies first. In fact that's how all of the later stages go, take out the flying guys, smash the ground guys in the walls for the items, clear the screen and repeat next screen. I'm sure there are playthroughs on RUclips that have also beaten this game, but if not I guess I'll have to do it someday.
