Electronic Arts is giving us an X-Ray peek into their game, based on the film of the same name, and long overdue. It feels like the movie came out several years ago, and I wonder how well they'll be able to ride the buzz into sales of the game.
I guess this puts a lot of pressure on the developers to make the gameplay strong, because they can't expect the typical runoff purchase effect from people fresh off a cinema high. The Riddick game for the original Xbox did much better than the film it was inspired by, so who knows?
"Superman Returns: The Videogame,” developed by Electronic Arts-Tiburon in Orlando, Fla., in conjunction with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Comics, features storylines from both the movie that will be released in 2006 and more than 60 years of comic book content. “Superman Returns: The Videogame” combines strong creative vision and compelling new technology to deliver a powerful and emotional gaming experience to consumers. Gamers will experience a real sense of flying while mastering Superman’s unrivaled superhero powers to save Metropolis.
