End of an era really. I suppose Annapurna sort of counts but that seems pretty different. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:940679376] in WB Games i...

The only thing I could see is that they pay the writers and artists so little that it doesnt matter.

I don't know how they haven't made more decent comic video games Like there's only been the Arkham games and Spider-Man, and MvC up to 3 and Injustice if you include fighting games I get the impression WB Montreal was meant to do this but the stuff they've been developing just keep getting cancelled. Perhaps Rocksteady has had similar issues. Wouldn't surprise me if this is a big reason they're being sold. When it comes to Marvel they only started licensing them out a few years ago (as in after Activision had it locked down for like a couple of decades) and I don't think most video game developers are that interested in licensing IP's these days. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:940680721] in WB Games i...

Gobstoppers12 06/14/20 9:17:45 PM #20:	DarthAragorn posted... I get Superman being tough because of how hard it would be to make the gameplay engaging and not too easy I think they had a cool idea with one of those games they made a while back, I don't remember exactly what it was called or which system it was on, but like... Superman didn't have a healthbar; the city of Metropolis had a health bar. I wish I had played it, but I heard it was kinda mediocre. There are games that give you a ton of power without making it feel 'too easy,' while still being a power fantasy. One of my favorite examples is Advent Rising, where by the end your powers are so ludicrous that the enemies are inconsequential to fight. Besides, Superman has villains who can rival him. Could have the generic enemies be like sandbox battles with cool environments to destroy/utilize, while bosses are more 'challenging' --- I write Naruto Fanfiction.
