[@ckeyvani]

a flash game should be like: 1: You witness the flash get his powers, as you progress you learn new abilities 2: You start slow, get faster as you level up, by the middle or end you learn to phase through walls but there is a special material you can't phase through. 3: You would need to have a good storyline 4: Abilities you learn as you go on are throwing lightning, time travel(at the end, say the boss blows up the city and in a desperate attempt you stop time and run as fast as you can around the city until you accidentally travel back before the bomb explodes), stopping time, regen, slowing and speeding up time, phasing through objects, running on water, running up walls, etc. 5: You could have a combo multiplier that grants xp and challenges to complete that get harder over time 6:every time you die a new flash runs out of the speed force, takes your dead flash, throws him into the rift, then goes back in time to the previous check point, but now you are playing as the other flash that's a different color. 7: Flash has a customizable suit where you can choose the color and theme(Classic, Retro, old comic, modern Comic, CW tv show) and you unlock new themes as you go, the new flash that saves you when you die would be the same theme but different color and you would have the choice to revert to the old colors, also you can upgrade your suit with parts you collect and that would increase your speed and punch power a little bit 8: When you learn a new ability it would show a cutscene of your flash training and failing a bunch of times until he starts to succeed and then it shows you the button you press to do 9: The game needs to be open world like Arkham or spider man 10: it also needs beautiful combat and satisfying traveling with speed, also amazing graphics. Just like Spider-Man ps4. 11. You should be able to charge up special moves to use on enemies like phasing your hand through them and other stuff. In order to have a game with a powerful main character seem difficult and fun would be to make the villains very powerful

Here's how I would make a The Flash game: 1) You are a flash relatively early in your career. You still mistakenly believe that you need to eat millions of calories to fuel your speed. 2) You can slow down time at will. Right bumper to increase the multiplier, left bumper to decrease it. 3) The higher the speed change, the faster you burn through your energy reserves. Level up or collect tokens or something to increase maximum energy and efficiency, and even faster maximum speeds. 4) Eobard shows up regularly throughout the game and taunts you if your maximum speed isn't as high as his.

If the flash really have the speed of light, then in 10 seconds (speed of light is 300.000 km/s) he shouldve been able to search every single nook and cranny in the town.

[@CoolCBplays]

Some solutions to problems listed in this video: 1)No real weakness: His villains can be very specifically geared to do what they do in the comics to appeal to his weakness, such as Captain Cold being a villain that causes the main character to lose his speed temporarily if hit 2)Displaying speed in a way that makes the game fun: Being able to run super fast through the city in third person would be a very fun thing to do, sort of like the Spider-Man games, you can free roam the city and you are actually seeing yourself move fast. THEN like in Spider-Man games when you find a mission, you can get a cutscene or something, if something is happening in the city and you happen to pass it, the game will switch to bullet time to give you time to react to the situation happening(for small muggings and robberies, no major missions), 3)Entity interaction: if you’re free roam running and about to hit say a person, in order to avoid the physics of all of it, a safety could be put in place that stops you if you touch another entity and have the character make a snarky remark like “we probably shouldn’t do that” as he is forced to stop bc he is touching someone. As far as fighting goes, his skill set should be almost injustice based like, The Flash is faster than the characters he fights in Injustice however, his punches and kicks and movements are shown like he’s doing a lot of them quickly and if you get far enough away from the villain to have to run toward them again then switch into slow mo, but in order to make this make it challenging, put a cool down on the slow mo and make some villains attack faster than you can react to even in slow mo 4) Phasing through objects: You could have a button or something that activates phasing, then it could highlight or outline all surfaces that can be phased through, and not allow you to phase through ones that aren’t outlined or highlighted. There could also be a cool down on this.

[@KevinLam86]

I would make an "auto avoidance" while running at super speed a feature to be toggled on and off. If it is off and you run into a person, they explode just like in The Boyz when A Train runs into that girl. Phasing through objects would be a timing prompt. Miss the window for the prompt then you crash into said object and lose health and destroy the object.

Honestly phasing is the solution for people collisions. When Flash hits something he shouldn't he just phases through. Effectively people would be like ghosts with the phasing animation triggering at the right moment.

A few ideas I had that might work in response to your points. 1: His speed: Really all I can think of is slowing down the game tic speed for everything except you when running, so, what you brought up. 2: His phasing: If the game is set up right you can have it set up where if an actor (in this case The Flash) gets too close then the collider turns off. This way, when you run up to a wall the collider will disable itself and then you run right through it. Obviously there would need to be some kind of additional input, i.e. "During game play, pull the left trigger to enter phase mode to walk through solid objects." Then the walls, cars, people, etc in the game would have a bit of code on them that says "If something in "phase mode" gets within X distance of me, disable my collider, additionally, if nothing in "phase mode' is within X distance of me turn on my collider. That way you could seamlessly travel into and out of "phase mode" and have it work both mechanically and thematically. 3: His healing: You can have Flash be heavily damaged by attacks such as "bullets do at least 80% of his health each" but then have him be able to regenerate from near death in a matter of seconds. 4: Some of his more "out there" powers such as time travel: This can be offset by having another speedster as an enemy. So basically, nerf him a bit by playing on the trope of "I can't use my REALLY broken speed force powers because "speedster name here" is here and also accessing the speed force so there isn't enough for me to do the thing." 5: His sheer overpoweredness: Having basic thugs stand zero chance of realistically defeating flash makes sense because in any media he's ever been in no average joe can beat Flash. You can introduce an enemy such as Gorilla Grodd (as you mentioned) or Reverse Flash and have them use troops designed to fight speedsters (Maybe throw in speed force dampening fields for example) and have a material that repels the speed force so they can't phase through it. It's kind of creating arbitrary difficulty but this is really the only way I can see a Flash game working out.

Moving on, after all the time, I can only think about having a limit for each time you use your speed alongside a lock-on system like in those old Flash games (GBA's Flash for example), but then that wouldn't be very interesting would it, since times have changed? (subjective tho, so idk) For pulling asspulls to limit Flash's powers to solve everything in 2 milliseconds, easier to be done in shows than in games (and even then we can still see how stupid some if not most of it are) Since then, my opinion basically changed to: Flash OP OP bad Not OP bad Not to mention marketing and competition BUT Even after all that, you can make an overpowered character type of game like UNDEFEATED (BUT)^2 You're still gonna fight while running, not flying, so still hard to do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@@Noname-xj3yn well we are talking bout just the running part of it and I’m saying they nailed that I am not saying that their games are super good or advanced or anything cause ofcourse they’re not, and developers looking to make flash games right now should just implement the same stuff as those developers on Roblox right? That is totally doable in a proper high budget game and it can be done better than in the almost zero budget Roblox games so it seems pretty simple this way *if they want to make it* and that’s the thing no one has rlly wanted to make a flash game and they haven’t tried and only Roblox developers seem jobless enough to think of it and honestly it shouldn’t be that way I feel like they can easily make proper flash games with proper implemented speed as they’ve done on Roblox cause they’ve got much better resources as well and it shouldn’t be hard it’s just that making a flash game is not very thought of

[@legolad7477]

One thing I thought was in the first level you are in bullet time the whole time fighting Godspeed, then Godspeed steals part of his speed so for the game you have an excuse to nerf him a bit and have like a bar that you can charge up and drain to use certain powers like phasing would take more energy than using bullet time You could also do things like throwing lightning, and use it to heal. Then at the end you get your full speed back and you can have side missions (with side villains like rogues independently from each other, )that allow you to have a “cheat code” or option unlocked at the end to have infinite velocity (infinite bar)

[@jacobcenter7374]

I think that a good way to do this would be very similar to how Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order handles the Force. Give Flash a stamina bar that depletes when he uses certain powers in combat. At that point you could have Arkham style combat plus Fallen Order style powers(slow time, lightning throw, etc.). And as far as health goes, Flash doesn't regenerate nearly as fast as Logan. Health regeneration could be handled in a similar way to Spider-Man PS4. Doing certain things builds "Focus" which can either be used for powers or healing.

4:55 This could provide an explanation for what happens when he's running through civilians though, just tell the player to assume he's phasing through everyone so doesn't harm them. I think health mechanics are actually pretty easy to do. Say he has like 1000 health as an example. Yes flash heals fast but it's far from instant, just giving him a constant 5/10 regen per second could be good. So yes, you have regen, but you essentially have to stop what you're doing for a time in order to use it. Alternatively if you use the whole slowing down time thing to simulate his movement speed you could have it so that when you slow time to run faster your healing slows too. So when you run faster you reduce your risk of being hit but also reduce your ability to recover if you are. Or if you're low on health you'll have to speed up the game to increase the risk but also allow you to heal. Obviously if you're fighting another speedster this could be a death sentence as you allow them to pummel you.

[@27armageddon]

I love the video about the canceled Flash game, and since I watched it I have thought up how to fix those problems. #1. Phasing. Yes that is an insanely OP ability but making it to where he can do it for a short period of time works the best. Let's put in a "Phase Meter" in which Flash can only phase for a short amount of time. Not 10 seconds of phasing but a set amount of buildings he can phase through, so 1 building would take 1/5 of the meter but a whole line would take the whole thing and he would be unable to do so until he recharged it, eating he would have to eat, and if he is at 1/5 total left from his meter he will say something along the lines of "Gotta get some food in me or I will just pass right out". #2. Insanely strong. Yes he would run into people and splatter them into goo, well don't do that, when he is running the game will just push people out of the way. Hitting people do the same as Spider-Man he pulls his punches to not kill people same thing for Flash he hits fast but doesn't hit as hard as he can. Yes he heals quickly but his health bar would stop refilling if he has no energy, he doesn't collect lightning to heal he needs to eat. If he is hungry, just add a small bar, he will only ever get to 10% total health, and can be hit by things slower than him. #3. Running. They showed how it could work but it was too much like Sonic with long roads. Why not this, while running you seem to move that like a motorcycle in GTA5 but everything else around him is slowed down, you still get to run everywhere but it feels like you are insanely fast. #4. Enemies. Thugs obviously and Flash being who he is would do as Spider-Man did and go with each hit to not hurt them. But give them tech at one point to match Flash, speed armor, homing missiles and bullets, cold rays cuz why the hell not. His bosses would be those in his Rogue gallery, Zoom, Grodd, Cold, Boomerang, people like that and just alter them to make them bigger threats. #5. Make this an origin. Not right after getting his powers but he has only been the Flash for about 6 months and people are still learning about him. A Flash game could be an amazing game, and yes very complicated, but one day they can do some great things with this character.

was just about to say this. They can make a free roam flash game where you just unlock different abilities further into the game. Just make it like spiderman ps4 but with a larger map. They could probably get creative and follow that dimension switching they have in the new ratchet and clank to show that he can time travel.

[@legoking6165]

Like the one Wolverine had in the tie-in game for his origins movie?

[@noahhascall3004]

Fun way to do a flash game would be to take some notes from other games. You can deal with the idea of his super speed reactions by using the quick time Spider-Man spider sense stuff from the PS4 games. And overall a good way to take advantage of how it’s a game about speed is that you make lots of the game on a timer like in dead rising

[@benjic-jean574]

I feel like they should make a memory wipe game where the flash would be learning his powers and who he is throughout the game. That way his detective skills are useful and he won’t be able to even run through walls immediately

[@tak3n767]

You could make it so where the flash has energy. So the more powers he uses the less energy he has. Therefore you could have a sort of limiter to what the flash can do. Same thing with superman. You could make it where he needs the sun to power him. Making it where the player needs to be more careful at night or needs to fly up in space to restore energy.

[@ybfromoblock3381]

Literally. It’s not that hard to comprehend ngl

[@kanzlerd]

Aw, Flash is one of the best characters. A videogame about him would be killer, and there could be many bosses, like his rogue gallery.

[@legoking6165]

If he could get his own solo game, I'd make it a free-form open world sandbox game in a similar vain to open world Spider-man games, but instead of web swinging, you get around by running on the ground and up buildings. Also, you need to collect evidence around the city, get information via some Telltale games style mechanics and use abilities like molecule vibrating and lightning throwing to solve puzzles.

[@Karmabloodbath]

@@iivoids I will make one like that after I’m finished with my current naruto game.

[@Neutral_Tired]

Idea, Flash year 1, he’s just getting his powers, only learns to phase through certain materials, since different substances have different atomic makeups. Also, speed force meter, refilled by sustained sprinting when outside, or collectibles when inside, increases your movement speed, attack speed, and melee damage as it fills, but running and attacking don’t drain it, after a certain point you stop getting faster and go into slow mo. Only use real super speed when you press a sprint button, move slightly slower than a car when not sprinting, so it’s easier to control, when in smaller spaces passive speed is reduced and sprint becomes a dash/dodge (makes sense in character since he can’t phase through everything and wouldn’t want to be running into walls constantly). Eventually unlock ability to run up walls, when outside you can sprint up any walls, when inside you dash to run up specific ‘climbable walls’ (makes sense since he wouldn’t want to just run up a wall into the ceiling). Slow passive healing, can spend speed force meter to briefly heal faster, or go into slow mo while not sprinting, or to shoot lightning, or to ‘phase dodge’ (become briefly intangible to bullets).

[@jamrhein2]

Pretty much this. And yea I feel like the healing could work exactly how they did it in the Wolverine Origins game.

[@firdauswahab8485]

Or just make some lore like the speed force is getting weaker so there is a limited amount that you could use at any given time certain ability consumes more speed force than other

[@Neutral_Tired]

firdaus wahab I guess, but it seems kinda arbitrary to do that tbh, having him only just learning to use his powers just makes more sense IMO

[@noonecansavethedamageisdon9725]

While on the inside, instead of dashing, he could use more speed force meter to go into slow mo with normal speed, so it's like running at max speed but at the same time it isn't

[@Neutral_Tired]

@@noonecansavethedamageisdon9725 that could work too, yeah

[@insertnamehere7679]

You use alot of references to other comic characters or games or pop culture and you seem really well rounded you got my sub.

[@thatchersandifer7211]

You don’t have to make the powers 1:1 even the CW flash’s regeneration is very slow. A broken bone takes hours to heal now while that is much much faster than a normal person it doesn’t make him invulnerable.

[@peaceful6571]

I could see a Green Arrow video game being made, seeing as his character is very similar to Batman

[@lilsodamilk7894]

ur talking about CW Arrow, Green Arrow in the comics is nothing like batman.

[@Homeboy_Brando]

Lil SodaMilk The way Batman and Green Arrow are is similar. They were both even apart of the League of Assassin’s at one point in their lives. As far as personality goes they are nothing alike, but as far as fighting, their Batcave/Arrow Cave, similar past, etc they are alike a lot. In many ways they’re alike.

*Too similar

[@docsupreme7177]

Peaceful agreed. I been saying this. Imagine the missions, His bow is his batarangs Roy is his Robin, And Felicity would be his oracle. And we’ll probably get to see Black canary and play as her at that. A Green Arrow game would be the next best thing after Arkham. And i can really only see Rocksteady making it Great.

[@Jamesfckoffscammers]

Yeah probably lol

[@zendog-7778]

Give him sonic speed and also slow down time for all npcs, Gives the effect of super speed, It can function like the spiderman games for the bosses, example, Rhino in Miles morales has armor to stop the ability’s until the end, so for flash the villains could be like captain cold, And he freezes the atmosphere causing Barry to move slower due to slower atom movements. So on.

[@ClashBluelight]

a character can feel fast while not being all that fast. just look at the GOOD sonic games. in these games there's an illusion of speed. obviously the character isn't actually moving faster than sound, light, time, etc, but you still feel like they are. every single superpower doesn't have to be presented either. time to hypothesize a flash game. 1: slow him down, but give the screen some blur, motion lines, shaking, and other stuff to make it feel fast. add a high speed mode where the world enters slow motion. 2: the high speed mode is activated either on command with a meter, or during dodges. (restores some meter if timed) combat features attacking multiple enemies in sequence to deal with all of them at once. bonuses are given if players can dispatch the entire wave in a short enough time. attacks are punches, kicks, and specials. specials can be traded out in the menu. the player can have 4 specials at any given time. this is where the other superpowers and abilities go. 3: boss battles are difficult due to the boss' speed or ability to hinder the flash's speed. just like before, bonuses are rewarded based on how fast the boss is dispatched. 4: the game has an open hub world with linear levels built in. the flash's mobility consists of jogging, sprinting, wall running, and super jumping. (last two only during sprint.) he can also vault short obstacles with a well timed jump input and glide briefly by holding jump and sprint either during a super jump or when falling from a great height. while gliding he can change his direction in the air. holding sprint costs speed meter, but vaulting, timing a wall run, and a few other things let you recharge some meter without having to stop. this encourages careful planning on the player's part. the flash can do massive damage to an enemy by attacking them from a sprint and hit many enemies if they're lined up. this also restores meter. this way if the player sees one or two enemies, they can skip he fight entirely and just keep moving with the right inputs. this leads to players carefully planning routes through the levels and executing timed inputs to keep going fast. this is what i've got for now. it's late, so maybe i'll add something tomorrow.

[@FreekyPower]

DC Universe online just sain

[@jishnujetwani538]

Can someone summarize?

[@ClashBluelight]

@@jishnujetwani538 sorry, but this is about as short as i can make it. try imagining an xbox controller or something. control stick moves, there's a button for high speed/sprint mode, there's a jump button, there's a punch button, and there's a kick button. on the d-pad are your specials. you can trade these out from the menu, but can only have 4 total at any given time. L/R/L2/R2 do dodges, targeting, and other things. this would be the basic control layout. refer to the original post if you're confused by any of the terms used here.

[@zodix44]

Well, it doesn't explain how will the combat system will work. How do we make normal enemies be a threat to Flash?

[@ClashBluelight]

@@zodix44 point 1. mainly just send several opponents with the game's "special super weapon" (c) to fight him. the goal being to beat them before any of them have a chance to shoot. similar to most superhero games, grunts just use strength in numbers and special weapons (c). like in spider-man ps4, keeping the enemy's weapon (c) from hitting you is key to success. but if an enemy strikes you there's still enough leeway to win the battle.

[@BATMAN-ys3re]

I think we can make his game by giving him multiple tasks at a time in different places... So let the players figure out how to save people from different places at the same time, control his fast running and other his skills😍.. What do you think about my idea??? 😉😬

[@DegenerateJay]

That's a very neat idea since the flash can't be everywhere at once but also sort of can.

[@BATMAN-ys3re]

Thanks for replying 😍

[@Ultinuc]

@@DegenerateJay Maybe the challenge can be figuring out the right order of places to go to, rather than just whether or not he can get there in time

Then the whole game would turn out to be a Choice selector. What about the combat system?

[@thesweetembraceofnonexiste3740]

2:56 *SUPER HOT HAS ENTERED THE CHAT*

[@ideamaker]

The one thing that is seldom addressed in most Flash comic books or stories, is the fact that he's not Superman. Sure, he taps into the "Speed-force", but he also taps into his own physical limitations, meaning he can tire himself out, and has to replenish his energy. What if, in order to perform one of his special moves, like vibrating through objects, or moving faster than what he usually moves at, he needs to build up speed, and along the way, acquire more energy, perhaps by collecting Food & Speed-force as he's running through the game. This replenishes his energy bar that is constantly draining because he's constantly moving, and of course the more he uses his special moves, the faster his energy bar is drained.
