I assure you all the developers are aware of it. There no great difficulty in creating a realistic sandbox open world where Superman could fly aerodynamically how he does in cartoons and films. The main problem is in his powers and story. If it actually were to be an open world game the options for missions would be very limited due to the Superman’s invincibility and his weaknesses only being kryptonite and hostages.

[@mazen6446]

A bit too ambitious though. Something like that might be doable with tech available maybe 10 years from now. When AI can be better used to create maps in games because building a map with whole planets is a lot of work to do manually. Also it will need a lot of storage space for a game that size

Like for a cool mini addition I feel like you should hold the attack button longer as a way to like hold back on punches, tapping would just be using his full force obliterating the enemy and losing karma. The game would be reflective of how much superman impacts and I think the title "man of tomorrow" would reflect this theme.

[@AVOWIRENEWS]

Wow, Unreal Engine 5 continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in game graphics! The Superman demo must be a fantastic showcase of the engine's capabilities. It's incredible to think about the level of detail and realism that can be achieved nowadays. The power of 4K resolution must make the whole experience even more immersive. It's exciting to see how technology like this will shape the future of gaming and digital media! 🌟🎮💥

[@joshandrew31]

This is incredible. Thank you guys!

[@hamzah5643]

The thing with a Superman game is, people want to play it like they're the Hulk or something. But Superman shouldn't be a brute, and the game shouldn't reward that, it should be creatively using your powers to save people, and protect environments, causing minimal damage and saving many people using your powers in imaginitive ways. That's why the Arkham games were amazing, because it made you 'feel' like Batman and because he is just human, beating hordes of humans to a pulp feels appropriate. Along with doing detective work.

[@davidt1621]

The objectives in a Superman game should be thought of from the perspective of Lex Luthor, like forcing you to choose between saving his mom or his lover. Superman does have vulnerabilities that creates challenges for him, but they aren't physical challenges. Like adjusting his hearing or pulling his punches (like Marvel's Spiderman), it's really all mental.

[@LS2258]

I’m sorry what? Who said anything about superman being a brute? He can still be immensely powerful and near unkillable whilst also using his powers for good

[@thegreathadoken6808]

I've been banging the drum for a flight sim to use this technology. Right now, the most photoreal flight sims use photogrammetry and satellite photos teamed with AI which analyses the tops of buildings and extrapolates the 3D shape of those buildings. The end result is very convincing from altitude, but get in among the buildings and the illusion falls apart horribly. UE5 for some next-gen flight sim would be such a great thing. And as resource hungry as this demo is on PC, it still runs at a better framerate than something like MSFS does, ranging from about 58+ fps down at ground level in amongst the busiest areas of the city, to up to 100fps all the way up in the air using the camera feature in the Matrix demo. This is in contrast to around 30 to 70 or 80 in MSFS, at least these are the approximate numbers on my own system at 1080p. This tech is such a leap forward.

@AllTheJedi I saw an article over a decade ago that mentioned that it could involve superman starting at his golden era powers(just super strength leaping, high and invulnerable) then it builds up to him having flight and his extra powers. Maybe we can throw in the Prototype jumping & combat. And as for flight combat maybe we could copy the Iron Man combat style from the avengers video game(I know not the best game but Iron Man’s combat really flows). As for what could harm superman, i’m pretty sure there are a lot of creative minds out there that can make it work. However I do have one idea. Inter-gang machines. Kind of like “shadow of the apocalypse” but a little more advanced. Plus we could have brainiacs machines to fight us. It can be a huge variety. Or we could fight Zods Kryptonian army. There are a lot of good ideas.

[@annualleopard3063]

When we do eventually get a Super-Man game, I would love for there to be a flight mechanic that allows the player to easily fly at the pace they want instead of a designated flight speed with a basic "sprint" and "stop" function. For example, it could work like a racing game, where the more you hold down the right trigger, the faster you go and vice versa. Or maybe it could work like the horse-riding in RDR2, where you press and hold a button to fly at a certain pace, but each time you press and hold, the faster you go. I just want to be able to fly straight up at the speed of sound and then decelerate until I enter a state of free-fall. Also, the map would have to be unbelievably huge because of how fast Super-Man can fly. I feel like because of this, empty space on the map would be excusable unlike most games, since they could act as "Highways" essentially for the player to just go as fast as they want in a straight line, and because Superman is so fast, the player wouldn't get bored navigating it. You could have a series of large cities spread out along the map for most of the quests and story to take place. It would also make sense to have the game set in a relatively mountainous region. That way, the player has optional obstacles in the form of mountains and canyons to make gameplay more engaging.

Dude you are literaly a genius, i was thinking a lot on how to make a proper flying system for my videogame and i never think in making it like it was a car, it's just perfect And also can have like a turbo mode where you can go beyond sonic speed!! Thanks,you help a lot!!

I think it would be cool to implement a strength scaler that players could use to hold back his strength like he does in cannon so he doesn't destroy anything. That way you could make it easier or more difficult by scaling the strength so if you want to be weaker you can, or if you want to destroy everything then you can. It would also be cool to have a hard mode where the strength of moves depends on the depth you push the buttons so you have to be careful just like him.

[@YAHSHUA777]

A Superman game could DEFINITELY WORK, Superman is one of the most compelling characters in comics A lot of people though either say he's "bOriNg" or a "GaRy SuE" But if Done right you could be one of THE BEST GAMES OF ALL TIME 1. GAME MECHANICS Don't Nerf his strength, make the player😊 control it, Make a" sweet spot "meter too much and you could cause too much collateral damage, too little and you can't save the day It has to be just right, 👍 Also his flying gets faster and more powerful the more you use it At a certain point you should be able to break the sound barrier and fly to other planets and galaxies 🌌☄️🚀 2. LEVELS There'll be three levels to game based on Clark's identity "CLARK KENT "the reporter 👨‍🏫, "SUPERMAN" the hero 🦸, and "KAL-EL" the alien 👽 The "CLARK KENT" levels we'll have you doing regular things, but also trying to uncover lex luthor's dirty dealings, acting a detective like in the Arkham games "SUPERMAN" levels will have you on rescue missions, stopping robberies, and battling bad guys like Metallo, the Mxyzptlk, and lobo The" KAL-EL" levels will have you dealing space matters, fighting with enemies like BRAINIAC, DARK SIDE, and discovering the history of Krypton and interacting around in the fortress of solitude 3 STORY What makes Superman the great character is his humanity He's not a dark and edgy person He's not a paragon or a Gary Sue He has lost many battles, hasn't been able to save countless people But He often takes time off his day to help people in the smallest way he can He's often have to cope and control his powers, and being The last of his kind, he is often had no one to relate to It's only his parents that made him the man he is because they love Clark for who he was It's the small things that matter to him the most People in this life that make it worthwhile That's what the game should focus on most The wisdom and responsibility he has for his self and for others of how we can be good people is what makes Superman great Long live the Man of steel 🦸

Imagine; you could just fly through buildings, destroying them and they collapse like normal buildings, and all the big buildings have detailed rooms in them and people. Imagine being able to crash land into a skyscraper and you're in a rubble-filled room with dead people and other people panicking. Maybe we aren't there for this sort of technology as it would require SO many moving parts but I think we'll get it one day. Tech in gaming seems to stay pretty stagnant for 5-10 years and then suddenly spike over the period of a couple of years. Next gen definitely didn't hit that spike but UE5 is the start of another one. I honestly wonder what games will look like in 1000 years (if humans still exist.) I don't think fully immersive games will exist by then (like sword art online) & I doubt that would ever be achievable but look at how far we have come since pong which was released less than 100 years ago. Just imagine what would be possible in 1,000. Relatively speaking, gaming is still in its infancy and very new when you look at the whole scope. It wasn't a big industry and remained niche until the 2000s and that was only 20 years ago. Just mind blowing to think about.
