I'd say superman. With his power and skill-set you could have some seriously awesome fast-paced DBZ-esque battles. I dont think supes has been done justice in gaming yet.

Another hero that hasn't been done justice is spawn. imagine a spawn game using arkham's system. that would be incredible

which superhero you think would make a great game? are there any heroes that got games that didnt do justice to the character?

The dark and gritty crow game could be interesting..

The imidiate thing that jumps into my eyes are that The Punisher is very well fit for a game, unlike some of the others, He is human, and he IS violent. So if you look at it from possible gameplay he would be the easiest.

I suppose The crow is also fairly easy to make a decent game over, seeing as he is a vengeful (insert word here) that thends to like sharp stabby objects and guns. And that game would atleast have a justified health regen setting :P

These are if we look at what games are, if they can pose a challange, and if they have the right team.

The more difficult one would be superman, he is pretty much invinsible so you could not make a fun game about him, unless you took liberties. It can surely be done, but we would likely see devs looking outside conventional videogame buildups to make such a game a hit (and more importantly a good one)

With the right team of devs (who also happen to be real fans) anyone can have a great game, I just pick the two above, because they would be Easiest to make a game for, since they sort of fit into gaming as it is without much hassle.

The Punisher obviously, in fact the game was not bad at all but a new game with some action, cool moves and just a little bit of drama would be great and i would be among the first to pre-order it

a superman game could be great as long as the devs remember he aint a normal superhero that fights bosses etc. it should be about him stopping normal people from getting killed (say chasing a nuclear missile or stopping an asteroid from hitting the earth etc) to make a proper superman game the game world would have to be vast seeing as he can outrun a bullet so im guessing a proper superman game wont be here for another gen or two

I quite like the idea of a superhero with electric powers. He would get around by powerlines and stuff. That would be so awesome. And you know what, give him ice powers for the hell of it. [spoiler] :P [/spoiler]

I'm not a huge superhero/comic book nerd, so I'll be honest here. Superman and The Flash are the only ones in the poll I actually know. With that said, I don't think it's really possible to make a great Superman game. Unless there's a hell of a lot of kryptonite all over the place, the game takes away your powers for some reason(which completely takes away the point of being superman) or some ridiculous storyline is introduced making every enemy just as uber powerful as Superman then the game will always be super easy and not very good.

In any case, we already have great Spiderman and Batman games, so our superhero gaming needs are already being fulfilled.

Seconded. His powers would lend themselves extremely well to a great combat system.

From that list though, Superman. So much wasted potential there it's not even funny.

hellblazer would make for a great game too.

Superman returns, like the Iron Man game were awesome flight sims...........weak everywhere else. Supes is tough due to is invulnerability, and over powerfulness. Flash? I would be very intrigued to see devs come up with a playable, compelling, Flash game. Punisher: Take your favorite TPS and switch the protaganists shirt, too easy. Spawn: could be interesting if the time, care, and effort of Arkham were put into it. My pick: The Silver Surfer. Open world (universe) type game with ME like space exploration. So many characters and races for him to engage with, and some notable enemies that can throw down with him.

i think a superman game would be the most interesting because of all his powers and near invincibility. we've had tons of beat-em-ups where you just need to defeat gangs of thugs before they defeat you, but a true superman game would be different. whether or not you could defeat the gang of thugs would never be a question. what would be in question would be whether or not he could defeat them with time left over to stop the jet hijackers flying across country, the terrorists at sea, another mugging, lois lane following again, and a poor kitty stuck in a tree. people look to superman like god so he has a ton of responsibility.

Well I actually have two that come to mind, one is already on this poll. The Punisher by right never really got himself a fair cut in a game thus far WITH the exception of The Punisher Arcade which was also I believe on sega genesis. It was a beat em up made by Capcom, worth checking out on the arcade for sure if you like games like Final Fight or Streets Of Rage.

The Silver Surfer ain't bad either...

Hi, Riverwolf. There was a HellBlazer game on the PS2, PC, and I think also on xbox "Constantine". Although.. it was a movie licensed game that ignored its comic book roots :( I'd like to see a HellBlazer based off the comics myself, shame, the chances of it happening are slim to none.

Marvel Beach Volleyball Extreme... Throw in Dazzler, Sue Storm, Emma Frost ect have them trade swimsuits with each other and give each others gifts.

juliankennedy23

Not bad. But a DC game featuring Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Batgirl, Supergirl, Wonderwoman, and Zatanna would trump that any day :P :oops:

Alright alright, so getting to the poll options, I'd go with The Crow. Having dynamic parkour game play in a gritty urban metropolis, and combat consisting of gunkata coupled with freeform unarmed has lots of potential here. The crow spirit guide could be a scout, giving you fly-by recon views of the warzone ahead or other forms of intel to strategiclly plan your entrance into given combat situations.

Alfred needs a game. You can clean the bat cave and do Batman's laundry

MIYAMOTOnext007
And make snide witty remarks :P. I guess a Superman that doesn't suck would be cool. To divert from the superHERO question, I'd like to see an open world sandbox game where you play as a villain. I think it'd be neat; it'd be a complete role reversal. Like Grand Theft Auto in that you can attack civilians and have to evade the cops as a result, but i could be much more creative. You could have elaborate plans to take down the cops or trick them with a disguise. Then for the boss battles you could fight various superheroes, kill some no-namers, let big ones like Batman live (they'll escape somehow). It sounds really fun to me, someone needs to pick up this exact idea.

Hmm, Spider-Man has been done. X-Men has been done. Batman (not really a superhero, but still a comic hero) has been done. I really don't know on my half.
