Superman Returns: The Videogame trailer

[chazio]

Bluetights.net (http://www.bluetights.net) has the exclusive first look at the first trailer for Superman Returns: The Videogame.

As the Man of Steel™, you hone your unworldly super powers such as Flight, X-Ray Vision, Heat Vision, Super Hearing, Super Strength, Super Speed, and Super Breath to fight villains only Superman can defeat. Revolutionary new flight mechanics that give you full command of your aerial maneuvers. Explore and protect the truly living city of Metropolis, which is not only expansive (with 80 sq miles and more than 9,000 buildings), but also changes dynamically based on how you play the game: citizens run away in terror from newly erupting danger and exit their cars to cheer and snap photos as you fly overhead. Experience what it’s like to be Superman like never before with Superman Returns: The Videogame.
You can view the trailer in a High (http://www.bluetights.net/vids/ea_tib/sr_videogamehigh.html) or Low (http://www.bluetights.net/vids/ea_tib/sr_videogamelow.html) Quicktime format.

I wonder when we'll see some in-game footage?

[Grimmjow]

the "High" and "Low" links dont work! :D

[chazio]

yes...yes they do. they pre-load the entire clip before showing. patience.

[bapenguin]

nice. I'm on a superman kick since I started to watch Smallville.

[CacheMoney]

Watched it....Superman fan...game will be lame if it is a lame as the trailer. Talk about low quality CG. I thought EA would actually INVEST in this game. Quality games WB? Hello!??? Anyone out there?

[Grimmjow]

not to be a d*ck but when in life was there an actual good superman game? i think there jus following suit

[UnderHero5]

Oh man. I hope it's as good as Superman 64 was.
Best. Game. Ever!

[RainOfTerror]

If you don't want to stream it, you can also just download it

Bizarro #1

Goodbye!

[Deadend]

Well, that was underwhelming.

What if that is how the game will play?
Like an interactive movie.
Dragons Lair anyone?

The Superman arcade game from the 80's.

While I think the movie has a good chance of rocking, I see no reason to have hopes from the game. In the unlikely event that it ends up being good, though, I'll play it.

Even though the trailer is disappointing, I think this could be the best Superman game ever made. If they can actually pull off what they describe:

Explore your super powers to discover new uses and combinations: use Heat Vision to melt a rogue car or as a focused laser-like beam to cut through thick metal; use Super Breath to move heavy objects or freeze villains into solid ice. You can also combine powers and interact with your environment; for instance, freeze water spouting from a broken fire hydrant into a giant icicle with your Super Breath and use your Super Strength to hurl it at an enemy.

Get ready to take flight, as Superman Returns’ revolutionary new mechanics allow you to take full command of your aerial maneuvers. You’re not limited to flying over 800 mph (faster than a speeding bullet™) — you can also corral your enemies, perform stunning in-air acrobatics, instigate Super Speed missile-like attacks, and much more.


And the fact that Superman is pretty much invincible, and they handle 'player' damage through the destruction of the city.

You must face the internal conflict facing Superman at every turn: will you pause your pursuit of super villains to stop a massive tornado sweeping through the city and save its civilians? Every decision made is critical to Metropolis’ existence and can affect the collateral damage meter, which ultimately keeps the player in the game.

I will pre-order this if this functions the way they hype it.

[Xerxes]

I just don't buy the pure invincible thing. Hell he got killed and if not for all that went into bringing him back he would of stayed that way, until the earth got hurled into the sun or whatever. Batman could kill him if push came to shove. Superman would probably have to kill that bastard first just to think about going rogue or he'd have a green outfitted kyrptonited armored dude throwing batarang in his skull. It exist. It only makes him weak. I have yet to seen anybody give a go at taking him out while weak. Or a krptonite bullet to the head. Flying throw a kryptonite robot monster doesn't seem like a bright idea either. To a petty thug yes, invincible.

[MSUStud911]

I said this about the screenshots and now I'll say it about the trailer: Why does Superman look so terrible while everything else (Metallo, Metropolis, etc.) looks so good? The Superman model looks like something from Xbox 1 while the other stuff looks next gen. What the hell?

The whole death thing, though, (as evidenced by his quick return to life) was less about Superman being non-invincible and more about DC wanting to do a ridiculous and ill-conceived huge event to bring in the bucks. Of course he's weak to Kryptonite and all that, but pound for pound Superman's the closest of any hero (certainly in the DC universe at least) to completely invincible and it takes a VERY large force to even weaken him much less bring him near death.

It's because of a lack of shine
And for whatever reason, I wound't want my superman to look like Brandon Routh :(

Yes it was... But it is evidence that some shit out there is tough enough... I mean invincible is like how do you stop the Hulk. Different universe, but that bastard doesn't have a kryptonite.

[HardScores]

This might actually *gasp* be CG! Damn you EA!

[Kefkataran]

Like I said, though, the point was that he's near-enough to invincible that there are probably very few times in the game (or otherwise) where he'll be in real danger. I'm sure he'll still be able to die from physical pain if you're fighting a Kryptonite-armed Lex Luthor at some point.

[Xerxes]

Awww know you have something. Like if he only had a health bar for boss battles. That's all i'm trying to say.

[Kefkataran]

Yeah, I agree with that, he should totally have a health bar for big boss battles and the like.

[Xerxes]

But Batman is the one who needs the open city model.
