I wanted to design video games (almost 20 yrs ago) so i could create a game like this. I never followed that dream, and every year, I waited for someone to share that vision and make it a reality. Happy i lived to see this come to life🙌
I love how they are unafraid of the near invincible ultimate super being structure. Everyone always criticizes that a Superman video game would be uneventful or not as challenging because he is overpowered. If anime and manga will tell us anything, the overpowered type are exactly the type of video games people want right now. I’m 35 years old and I’ve been playing video games for 30 years and this is inspiring!
I never got the argument that he was overpowered, cus in the comics, and shows there is always a villain that can match his strengths, or they have special abilities that make it hard for Superman to beat them. Also if they don't go with the invincible unbeatable God approach and give him some of his old 60s comic qualities he wouldn't be so overpowered. In older comics he wasn't like unbelievably strong. He could hold up a tipping skyscraper at most. But if it came to catching an airplane, stopping a super punch, or needing to save someone instead of continuing a fight, he was at a huge disadvantage. Plus they can always make kryptonite robots, make him fight gorilla grod, blizzaro superman, doomsday, mech suit qearing lex Luther, or even amazo. They just don't wanna make a superman game I think 😂.
@@SoaringShade It is kinda hard from a dev point because apart from bosses what do you put him up against ? he can't really go round killing all over the place because well that's not superman, by him being the ultimate good guy it limits a game much more than most realize! and lets be real no one wants to play as the 60s superman we want an op as superman that can f everything up but once again that's just not superman. (kryptonite foe's imo would just make superman appear and feel weak and that is the opposite of what people want, maybe for a random boss fight however apart from that no thanks) Don't get me wrong I want a superman game as he is by far my fav superhero however a friend who is a game dev made this clear to me years ago and well so far he has been right.
Wow, what substantial growth over from the original! I remember enjoying that game but never expected a follow up. The original felt like a classic arcade style game, it's interesting, this gives off more of a modern final fantasy vibe at least visually. Anyways, congrats on the improvement, I'll check it out.
I used to play the small free demo on steam and jesus christ the difference is night and day. flying still feels satisfying but the combat looks WAYYYYY more flushed. Hoping this passion project becomes what it needs to be. Good job to the one dude making this
Well if it's by the same peoplw who made the first Undefeated, it's made by a small group of college students. The fact that they made something this good with so little resources is impressive.
Yo. For an indie studio, this looks pretty dang impressive! Obviously some work is still needed (heck, even No Man's Sky need like 5 years of post-launch work) but so far the gameplay looks snappy, impactful and, dare I say it, pretty fun. Keep it up team!
The storyline is the issue. It’s hard to give a health bar to the town or townspeople like in past Superman games because of his overpoweredness. Batman Arkham storylines don’t have this issue because he is making up for his lack of invincibility with gadgets, armor and combat abilities. Superman can overpower much more so playing him other than in a “sandbox superhero mode” is more of a dream than reality for now.
@@GodRemainsGreat1 then don't give a health bar to the townspeople or the city. Decisions like these at the end of the day are not hard. And if the companies would pick up a damn comic, they would know that the superman we know and love today, is actually a nerfed version of the original. He has weaknesses and villains that can go head to head with him. If three college students can do this, then there's absolutely no excuse.
Based on the original teaser and the laser vision power, they were inspired by both Goku and Superman, both being prime examples of the classic superhero archetype.
Superman was an alien who came to earth and became its hero, but in this game, you're a human who goes to an alien planet and becomes their hero. This series has so much potential for lore.
Still looks like a fun sandbox & makes me pissed that dev companies really don’t try in regards to getting new Superman games out there when a distilled Superman-esque experience is so inherently exciting
I don't know how you make one except a like Asuras wrath. Superman is too powerful to make fighting mobs fun for more than a few minutes so it would have to be tons of boss fights. In order to make a long game you would have to nerf Superman. It's not an easy problem to tackle.
This is really cool, I'm excited to see what this develops into. It could easily be a hit or a miss depending on how they go forward. It feels a lot like anthem,marvel and recent dragon ball games
I actually love this level design im just thinking if this was a superman game you would start off in the city then you would go to alien planets and you could change the rules of gravity and physics i do wish there was a little bit more to combat kind of like a arkham style combat but with superman theme somthing very free flow
The game looks pretty good so far. My only big concern here is how they will somehow tie this game into the original undefeated, as it is a prequel game. Given that in the original game's recent update they made you have to acquire certain extra superpowers, what happened to the set from this game that's roughly the same?
why are you all comparing multi million dollar titles from big AAA companies to a indie game from a student who literally recently just graduated with one free to play demo to his name?
@@Reese91momo Palworld put pokemon to shame, indie superiority. CarX Street put Need for Speed to shame, indie superiority, $5 rouge lite game called Vampire Survivors put a lot of triple AAA games to shame indie superiority. Have fun losing your money buy paying $70 for game to die in the first week.
We can only hope, let’s just make sure it’s a good game first before throwing our money at it tho. I’m throwing my money at undefeated tho, I want it day one, so I guess I’m a little bit of a hypocrite, nonetheless
You never seen Dust: An Elysian Tail before??? (Completed) You never seen Lost Soul Aside before??? (W.I.P. and Showed amazing attention to detail before Sony contacted him) *Both games made BY ONE PERSON* Lost Soul Aside was so well made that even Sony decided to work with the person. This is *years after* he been showed off his solo work on his game. *Criticism is where Criticism is due* no matter how many people are working on something. You do Not* coddle and enable someone's shortcomings/cons and ignore all of their failures or It will only speed up the process of their demise. Be Yourself. Be Greater.
@@sevionus80 love the effort you put into this comment however, if you literally just read the comments, it's not criticism, they are just bashing the game. I don't care if only one person made the entire Call of Duty franchise. This is impressive for one person and it's not like he's charging 70$ for it
And I’m still left to wonder why they can’t make a decent Superman game. EDIT: To be fair, he doesn't necessarily need to be comic book lore accurate. Animated series Superman was a prime example. (Not the game, the actual cartoon)
@desmondburton1773 If they did, then it would only be recently. We literally have never gotten a superman game on the same level as the batman Arkham games even tho they came out years ago.
A lot of potential here, but needs polish. Feels very barren and empty and still has a bit of that "Unreal Engine Asset Flip" feel to it. Definitely something i'd be down to hop in and out of from time to time scratch that superman/dbz itch
To think that only 3 college students are making this game is absolutely STUNNING. This game looks better than most if not ALL of the games I look forward to playing, outside of possibly 'inZOI'. I can't wait for the release of this gem, here!
Looks pretty dope! Really love how you guys portrait super speed of [Vanish] feature with those afterimages. Traverse the vast open world landscape with super speed flight really made the place scales just right despite being so big. Love the brutality of how you can just scrape the enemy along the floor. Please give us more badass way to punish the bad guy!! Don't care too much about 'balancing' stuff, please make us feels epic, badass, overpowered, legitimately UNDEFEATED, with all the superpower sh*t you can pull off for us. Handholding tutorial can be rather interruptive for a fast pact game like this. I highly suggest to make glossaries of them within intermission menu, while leave most basic tutorial as seamless buttons guide floating on the side of the screen instead. This way, player can have a bit more agency how they engage with early stage of the game and learn by themselves for which buttons and combination can do what
After playing the first game and seeing and hearing more and more about this one,I really hope this game succeeds. We got quite awhile before it’s 2026 release but I’ll be keeping up with every update until release day comes. If they get it right,this game can really be something good.
on one hand, I want this dev to be hired to make a Superman game. but on one hand I kinda didn't knowing WB would eventually kill this studio if they did.
not only would they kill the studio, but they'd probably cheap the hell out like they almost always do, causing the game to be way more lackluster than it should've been and never reaching it's full potential
You mean devs wanting to make Batman games delivering. Imagine blaming a fictional character instead of the guys in suits or the guys who just don't want to make a superman game. I want a superman game too but I am not blaming another character for not getting it.
Holy shit a new undefeated is being made??? Wow that’s good news, ESPECIALLY, since the first one JUST got added to PSN very recently. Which means this one will too
You dont play this game for a rich and engaging story, hell, i doubt the lore will even be that deep, you play this game for exciting combat and powers that make you feel like a god in a world that needs a hero
Needs a destructible environment. Flying at full speed through a skyscraper should punch a hole in it, same as grabbing a big for and tossing or punching them into one. That would truly elevate this game ahead of anything else in the genre!
Did you miss the part where an entire building crumbled in the middle of one of his fights with trash enemies? It got hit with some stray blasts and blew up. It was pretty cool.

Finally a superpower game like infamous or prototype we need more like this😊
The Superman game we've always wanted, but will never have.
We *WILL have
Game probably won’t have much substance in story and characters, but it looks like a fun sandbox to play in.
I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully they see this comment and prove it wrong
For like 2 hours
Looks cool but you can tell this is a live service game.
@@NappyWayz You obviously can't tell.
@@thenewme79I mean, the foundation of the game is there, you can't change that. It definitely looks interesting but a short life span of interest.
It’s beautiful watching this game still get better. I remember the original undefeated watching captain sauce play.
I genuinely thought this was Noctis for a good 5 minutes
Glad I wasn’t the only one who had this thought
Same
Lmao Same
I was like they done turned noctis into a dbz character. This looked like they used the sparking zero combat and just gave it a lil touch up
You me too😂😂😂
The beginning flying sequence gave me flashbacks of Superman 64…
I thought that was Notics for a second.
@@isseihyoudou1547 see I didn’t think it was noctis I just instantly thought square enix can do so much with that flying animation was crisp

Learn Warner Bros! A Superman game would be perfect in this style.
I think a great sayaman dlc will be beter
Anyone else thinking this is what DC Universe Online should have been?
Hell yea😂
indeed
I used to play the small free demo on steam and jesus christ the difference is night and day. flying still feels satisfying but the combat looks WAYYYYY more flushed. Hoping this passion project becomes what it needs to be. Good job to the one dude making this
0:12 I thought we were about to have anthem redo but he didn't go underwater :(
the aura and the speed force in this game is insane
Indie devs are putting in work. Cant wait to see it finished
Oh my goodness everything looks like such an improvement. Even the way the character model lands after flying looks so much better wow.
After playing Undefeated on the PS5, I NEED this!!
I would 100% buy this game. Been waiting years for a powers based game like this. It looks awesome. Rough for sure... But awesome
Well if it's by the same peoplw who made the first Undefeated, it's made by a small group of college students. The fact that they made something this good with so little resources is impressive.
So you never played Kakarot?😊
It's gonna be free from what I heard
Superman or Son Goku?
Dev: _Y E S_
It's bird, it's a plane, no it's NOCTISMAN!
Lmao it does look like a mix of Sonic Frontiers and FFXV
With some DBZ Kakarot mixed in between
You guys have nailed it. I'm looking forward to Play it. Good luck 🍀
This would make an awesome superman game
Is this the same undefeated (superman simulator game) from around 2019 or 2020???
I think Undefeated was a prototype while this is what might be the complete product
I love how the music volume increases when he starts flying
It like they combined Superman and Goku and said fuck the AAA Gaming Companies we got the gamers and we’ll give them a better Superman
Yo. For an indie studio, this looks pretty dang impressive! Obviously some work is still needed (heck, even No Man's Sky need like 5 years of post-launch work) but so far the gameplay looks snappy, impactful and, dare I say it, pretty fun. Keep it up team!

I've had this installed for a bit, but haven't dove in just yet.
This is looking REALLY amazing!
I guess this is the superman game we all wanted
The Superman game we never got.
Imagine if DC universe online looked like this
Ahh they finally made a good superman game!
2:43 favorite moment, just loved the environment destruction
Ive been waiting for this game for so long
The camera works is hella impressive, would buy this, really enjoyed the first work
Drop a demo like undefeated (with the guy in black) we freaking want to play this game🥹
Dbz kakarot, clearly the inspiration
Based on the original teaser and the laser vision power, they were inspired by both Goku and Superman, both being prime examples of the classic superhero archetype.
It looks more like a mix between superman and ironman to me.
Kakarot where you get one combo string for the entire game? Hah.
Except kakarot was mid af
@@kermitwithamustache3885 for real the combat looks good but has no depth what so ever.

What a good game, I hope we can fly and run at least at supersonic speed in this game, just like in the beta.
At first I thought that was Noctis
More creative than the entire DC games department
Because literally no other games let you fly like this and that’s crazy to me. Yes lemme has
At a glance all I see is Noctis 👀
this the type of powers and fighting style i wanted for DC Universe
Kinda gives Infamous vibes. I shall watch this closely

Perfectly said. The world was small in the first one, but the gameplay made it so filling.
Really hyped for this hoping it inspires more super hero games that actually make u feel like a super hero
Kinda looks like a Final Fantasy XV game with superman controls.
I hope he makes it where you can grab or throw the enemies in through buildings
if u guys dont release the demo on steam right now im gonna blow a fart soo chemicaly lethal that it will level my entire city
cant wait for the silver the hedgehog mod
