Iambaytor Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 I've been following this for a while as my love of the DC universe has been rekindled for the first time since I was a toddling five year old watching The Super Friends. Not quite the character selection I'd hoped but pretty good nonetheless. Here's the character listing so far: - represensts character --represents costume change - Batman --origional costume --Infiltration suit -Flash --Jay Garrick (the flash with the hubcap strapped to his head) --Dark Flash (Walter West) -Green Lantern (John Stewart) --John Stewart's first appearance --Justice League Unlimited costume -Martian Manhunter --True Martian form (Woo green naked eunich!) --Half-humanoid/half martian (whatever that means) -Superman (Sorry Skeet, no Superman Red) --Kal-L (Golden Age suit) --Suit from Kandor (I honestly have no idea) --Recovery suit (the suit he appeared in after his rebirth) -Wonder Woman --Toga --Alternate Biker Uniform --Ceremonial armor complete with sword -Zatanna Zatara --Origional costume --Second costume (fish nets and top hat) Unlockables: -Hal Jordan (PS2 and Xbox only) -Kyle Rayner (PS2 and Xbox only) -Black Canary (PSP only) -Supergirl (PSP only) -Aquaman -Huntress -Green Arrow -Hawkgirl Villains: -Brainiac -Circe (GBA only) -Queen Bee -Gorilla Grodd -Killer Frost -The Key -White Martians -Doomsday -Darkseid -Parademons -Zoom (GBA only) on that note the villain showing so far is piss poor. I mean where's Lex Luthor, Metallo, Joker, Captain Cold, Bizarro, Sinestro, Deathstroke, hell even Black Manta's too cool for this rogue's gallery (and not for his psuedo-robot voice, cause let's face it, that shit is tight) I also wish they had some more b-list heroes like Spectre, Dead Man, Red Tornado, Firestorm, Etrigan, Starman, Booster Gold anyone???? nah, me neither. So anyway, opinions?
Jumbie Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Most DC villians suck. They do happen to have the baddest baddass of them all in Darkseid but it's a real steep drop-off after that. Nevertheless there's good videogame friendly villians that coulda been included: Cyborg Superman Mongul Killer Croc Metallo Black Adam Eradicator off the top of my head
Jables Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Most DC villians suck. They do happen to have the baddest baddass of them all in Darkseid but it's a real steep drop-off after that. Nevertheless there's good videogame friendly villians that coulda been included: Cyborg Superman Mongul Killer Croc Metallo Black Adam Eradicator off the top of my head Off the top of my head I could tell you Mongul, Cyborg, Metallo & Eradictor are going to be(probably) in the Superman Returns game. Now there's no need to confuse the kids now is there? And my question is this: Is it going next gen or staying on PS2? Next gen'll have red for sure. Otherwise that's a fucking gyp.
Iambaytor Posted November 17, 2006 Author Posted November 17, 2006 I think it's going next gen, and the Wikipedia article hinted that that might not be all the characters, here's hoping.
Jables Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 The Superman returns game isn't out YET? The demo is on XBL- I'll be playing it tonite. I'm guessing it'll have an Xmas release. & I'll have to check out Wiki.
The NZA Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 yeah, it looks sharp too. im rentin this one in another week or so, glad they at least got the other GL's on board. so it plays just like alliance?
The NZA Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 woo hoo! woke up to gamefly telling me Genesis Collection and this game are on their way for sometime next week, so ill review it here as well. again, might just play it before alliance so its not so badly in its shadow...we'll see.
Jables Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Man... Superman Returns is a piece've shit. I'll check out the full version upon release but the demo really didn't give me much confidence. And I really do hope JLA goes next gen.
The NZA Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 just saw the movie, didnt expect hte game to be much better, but anhting's a step up from superman 64. played the first hour of this game....its x-men legends with DC skins. that's all i can say. if you like the engine, and the idea of playing it with the JLA excites you, youll dig it....im not kidding here. You start off with bats & supes, i leveled them up and worked their stats/mutal abilities superpowers. its the same thing so far, almost verbatim.
