Superman's evil twin on PS1?- Beta footage?

http://www.joystiq.com/2007/04/22/superman-64-almost-had-an-evil-twin-on-the-ps1/

Just a funny article I came across last night. The video doesn't look half bad either....considering how bad the N64 version was. I remember playing the N64 on the Z64 and didn't get past the flying through the rings level. How lame.

 

i never played hte N64 version... was it really THAT bad?

 

It's regularly held up as the worst game ever. So yeah, pretty much.

 

Oh Dear! :-(

I feel the need to find a copy just to have a play on now:nod:

 

Trying to imagine the pain of Superman 64 combined with PS1 load times and, oops, another aneurysm.

 

Does anyone have a copy of this Game on N64 that i could perhaps borrow (and will of course return) so that i could try its mystical magicness?

 

Sort of off topic, but one of those replies to that article reminded me of Elf Bowling for the DS. I remember back when that was a flash game back in 1999 or so. Really, WTF!

Thats worse than "Santa Claus saves the world" for the GBA.

 

Superman on N64 was horrible. You can probably get it on ebay for less than $1.

 

Dude...

The one and only time I ever played Superman 64 was years ago, back when the game was first released, and I can say, it is one of the WORST games I have ever played, as it is for most people. The few minutes of multiplayer I played was enough to give me a very bad impression of the game. Not only was multiplayer fog ridden more than Turok(1) ever was, after my ship went down (I was playing as Darkseid), it proceeded to explode for a good 2 minutes. Horrifying, to say the least.

 

Let me put it this way: After playing it, or trying to, for about 5 minutes, i wanted to destroy the damn N64 kiosk.

I wonder what the people from Titus software were thinking when they released the game.

OH I remember my first encounter with Superman 64. I walked past an N64 kiosk in a Toys R Us and at first glance I thought that it had crashed... Turns out that there was just so little going on in Metropolis that someone had left it sitting unpaused for who knows long and not a single pixel had bothered to move.

I attempted to play it, but didn't even bother making it all the way through the 'fly through hoops' level.. Apparently Metropolis has worse fog than london and a population of 1.

 

I played it for hours when it came out hah. I knew it was bad then, but I was strangely drawn to it.

 

Ah, they all might be crappy but are they as crappy as Superman 4 ? I saw that on DVD yesterday (Didn't even know it existed) and boy what a load of shit. There's a commentary by one of the main producers of the movie and even he was slagging it off. Piss poor special effects, very bad editing, cheap set designs (One area you can tell is a British auditorium! yet it should be the UN !) and so on. What made it worse is that I had just finished watching Superman 2 which is a great movie.

Yakumo

 

LOL.


It's nearly the only thing you'll ever do in that game.

 

I wasted a blockbuster rental on this back in the day, All I remember is the "krypton gas" and falling through floors into black nothingness. Also, why the hell does superman have to go around and acquire the right to use his super powers, as he does in this game?

it was horrible.

 

I tried the game after reading one of its great reviews. I couldn't imagine how bad the game was. I spent 30 minutes trying to pass the flying rings start and when I did it I decided I had to buy that game. I kind of enjoy really bad movies and games (not just bad or boring, they have to be incredibly bad, so bad they're funny) so this is personal favourite for me.

 

but wait! there was a 64DD expansion disk comming for the n64 game *hahaha*

 

In that case, have you ever tried Omikron for DC? It's got real David Bowie music!!!

 

Solve my maze.
