Superman Returns: The Videogame - Interview With Executive Producer Chris Gray |
Ó
Getting a boost from the success of the "Superman Returns" movie, The Superman Returns: The Videogame is set to soar to retail shops this fall. David Craddock of comics2film.com had a chat with Executive Producer Chris Gray, hoping to change the way gamers view superhero movie-based games. Let's face it, these breed of games don't do too well on the charts for the simple reason that they fail to duplicate all the good things from the movies they are based on.What will perhaps set the game apart from others movie-based games is that the storyline will not be limited to that of the movie. It'll be joined by characters and storylines from the Superman of yesteryears. Expect 50% movie and 50% original elements. It sure is an interesting fusion, but how'd the development team incorporate 60 years of Superman with the new movie's plot? That's where the villains come into the picture. They bridge the gap between the the movie and the history of Superman.
With virtual Metropolis spanning 80 sq. miles, it's where all the action is. Objectives come randomly in the game. So if there's some strange events brewing, you can fly down to investigate. The team has recently squeezed in playable Bizarro levels, so you know that means - you can wreak havoc in the city.
As Superman, you'd have access to several "powers" including heat vision, Freeze Breath, Super Breath, Super Strength, etc. You can also unlock brawling combos as you gain experience.
When asked how will Superman Returns prove game critics wrong on their notion that movie games don't quite live up to the hype, Gray said, "From day one we knew we needed to make more than a movie game, and that helps tremendously. SupermanÂ’s history is so rich with moments, why wouldnÂ’t we want to include them in the game? The additional content allows us to deliver an action-packed experience that never lets up. For example, the movie only shows you a taste of Metropolis, whereas, we allow you to get completely immersed within and interact with it."
Superman Returns: The Videogame will ship later in 2006 for PS2, Xbox, GameCube, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, PSP, and PC.

Sounds good.
at least I hope so!
no one cares.
I can't wait to see how this turns out. Hopefully there will be some free roam included.
I remember renting Superman for the 64... Prob the worst game for the system
You're right you are the only one that doesn't care.
it will require fw2.80+ no doubt. hmm.. I wonder how this will turn out. and I also remember playing Superman on N64. I was very dissapointed
hope it aint like fantastic 4 ps2 that sucked
i know the "Boy With Camera" in the credits his name is Keegan Joyce. Not just now of him, i know him well
if its anything like spiderman it should be a pretty fun beat-em up game. will be nice to use his powers.... but i mean that screen up there? it all looks good except his cape and that car....which look awful
This better be good, if the PSP version has Free-roam then it'll be a must-have for me :) I can't wait!
i hope in the game you can use your x-ray vision to see what's beneath the ladies clothing...if not i'm not buying the game!
This game actually looks good, maybe it will redeem Superman.
Hmm, bad move. Lets face it, the film did not fair as well as they thought it would, it struggled to break even in the US (COST$200 MILLION AND JUST ABOUT MADE THAT IN THE BOX OFFICE, IT COULDN'T EVEN MAKE THE TOP SPOT IN THE UK). Then decide to release the game a whole six months after, now that everyone knows the film is average. Good luck to them.
Stupid game. I hate the movie that goes to the video games because it always sucks. I do not liked video games that came from the movie. STUPID!
I thought for a second that his name was Chris Gay XD
i played the PSP Superman Returns at E3 this year, and it sucked something fierce. EA should have been ashamed to show it then. the 360 version looked really promising though. the guy froze like this row of cars with his freeze breath (blowing people and debris everywhere), then torched the cars with his heat vision. they exploded in spectacular fashion. the game was only 40% complete, but it looked pretty cool. and that's coming from a non-Superman fan.
