Rumor has it that it's a SUPERMAN GAME to be revealed NEXT WEEK by Game informer! GOD PLEASE BE TRUE!!! :D


https://www.google.com/amp/comicbook.com/gaming/amp/2017/11/03/rocksteady-superman-game-informer/



Rumor: Rocksteady's Next Project Is a Superman Game, Reveal Coming Next Week

It has literally been ages since we’ve gotten a good Superman game. We dare not bring up the likes of Superman Returns or Superman 64, just because it’s so damn depressing. Fortunately, if this rumor turns out to be true, we’ll have a hell of a return for the Man of Steel.

A poster over at the 4chan (yeah, we know, but 4chan has been right before) recently posited that Game Informer is preparing to announce the game that will be featured on the cover of its December issue – and that game is the next project from Rocksteady Studios, the creators of the Batman Arkham trilogy. What’s more, this game will apparently feature Superman.



“Game Informer cover game will be revealed next week. It will be Rocksteady’s Superman game. The scale and the ambition of the game is massive, you all will be blown away by the details. Can’t wait to see your reaction, lads.”

So far, reaction to the rumors on the forums have been mixed, with some people clearly stating that it’s a lie (“Spoiler alert: it won’t be”) and others taking a more cynical route (“SUPER STRENGTH, COLD BREATH, LASER VISION AS DLC”). Others, though, have been positive, hoping the rumor is true. After all, if anyone can justify Superman’s return to video games, it’s the team that did the same for Batman.

But what do we know about Rocksteady's next project?

What we've heard so far...

Darn, count me out on the Super Man front. Never been a fan. Love RockSteady but I don't know if I could enjoy playing Super Man. :(

Hopefully they knock it out of the park though!

I'm not excited for a Superman game...I'd prefer if they continued in the Batman playground- better mythology, more grounded in reality, more gritty, better overall stable of villains

Seems early to be wondering that, don’t be so impatient!

But, very curious what they are doing next. In some ways it’s hard to imagine they will step away from Batman, the formula is strong.

He's not completely wrong: There was some interest in a Superman game in the past with Rocksteady in the past. No idea what happened to that however and I'm completely out of the loop.

The coop game could be the next Batman game as I remember them talking about the early concept of doing some kind of co-op for one of the Arkham games but the idea was scrapped due to time/resources.

- Made by Rocksteady
- Unreal Engine 4
- Big open world Metropolis(about 3 times the size of Arkham Knight with a lot more buildings)
- Can't play as Clark Kent
- Main villain is Brainiac
- Nerfed Superman (TAS Levels)
- Semi-destructible environments(think AK, no buildings are falling over)
- Combat system integrates the flying (kind of like DBZ, you can punch someone then zoom towards them and repeat)
- Set within the Arkhamverse
- Tons of easter eggs to Superman's lore, and some to the events that took place in the Batman Arkham Franchise

Rocksteady and WB Montreal are also working on a joint multiplayer game (Hence the multiplayer hirings on Rocksteady's site). This is for a planned Justice League game down the road. They had to nail Superman first. Announcement should be incoming about a couple weeks before E3. (One of those "see more/gameplay at E3 type of reveals)

other than the mass effect 3 ending, has anything leaked on 4chan turned out to be true?

Whatever Rocksteady is doing right now, i'm sure that their new game will be announced soon and for sure this year. Also, cosindering how good of a job they did using the latest version of UE3 to develop AK (the absolute best looking UE3 game visually - PC, native 4K).... holy shit, i can't wait to see what they did with UE4.

I wonder if there is a way to make a good Superman game, seems like the character is just too powerful to translate into a video game.

But if anyone could do it I guess it's Rocksteady.

I remember once reading a rumor from an "insider" that Sony was going to retire Playstation after the "failure" of the PS3.

So yeah, take what you read on there with a grain of salt.

Rocksteady has previously commented that they are done with the Batman franchise, however whether they will move onto an original IP or another Warner Brothers property (any other DC character / Mad Max / The Matrix / Lethal Weapon / Ace Ventura etc) is anybody's guess.

Ace Ventura... I'm trying to fathom the conversion into anything but a telltale-esqe experience.

Simple, don't make him overpowered. Just because he may be overpowered in the comics, doesn't mean Rocksteady has to follow what the comics are doing. If we can get a semi-realistic Batman series(The Dark Knight Trilogy), race-bending characters(Tom Hardy as bane or BD Wong as Hugo Strange), a non-overpowered Superman is plausible.

There can be a good Superman game if it gets big budget and the developes are given time to make it great like Arkham games. Superman Returns game was a step in the right direction but it still wasn't very good:

What if Brainiac used some kind of weapon to diminish Superman's powers or interfered with the sun's radiation?

I think there are some ways to make superman no to be all powerful.

They should simply continue making Batman games. To all those who say "we need something new, i.e. a new IP!" I say "just look at Nintendo with Zelda, Mario etc.".

No need for constant risks & 'new' experiences (many of which are sh*t), just give me more Bats with better graphics & constantly evolving combat/gameplay. I'm not the only one who thinks this way.

pretty much this, give him the abilities he is known (strength,flight,heat/xray vision, cold breath but dont make it so powerful that he can fly around the earth changing its rotation and send it back in time lmao. Enviroment should 100% be destructible like Arkham Knight if not a little more tho.

If im being honest other than what an amazing job they did with the trilogy of Batman games this is one of the biggest reasons as to why im so excited to see what they got. This gen we legit havent seen a new game from em other than AK which as mentioned was on an old engine.

It's almost as if they released a major game less than two years ago which got tons of DLC and then a VR game at the end of last year.

I was really surprised with how much I enjoyed Batman VR. I kind of wish they would make something similar for Bioshock. It would be so cool to see some aspects of that world in VR and get a better sense of scale for everything.

Hell while we're at it, if developers wanted to make simple, VR excursions kind of like interactive art books of their most popular games, I would really enjoy that. Mass Effect would be incredible.

As of now I still think that a good Superman game is impossible due to the nature of Superman. I'll be paying close attention, though.

Well, at least Rocksteady doesn't have to feel any pressure to surpass earlier games with Superman in it, since the bar was set at an all time low on the N64. When I think of it, Batman also used to star in shitty games before Rocksteady came aboard and the changed the game, so maybe they can do wonders with the Man of Steel.

I'm fairly confident it's Superman, this was 3 weeks ago the leak came out, many people asked them about that leak on Twitter and they are dead silent on it, their not denying it.

Being so close to E3, it feels like that leak may have been a plant set up by Rocksteady to get some hype and rumors going before the big show. I'm far from a conspericy theorist, but the timing of this rumor with no denial is not so coincidental IMO.
