It would be useful to provide some context for the uninitiated - this is an Angry Video Game Nerd review of Superman 64. Viewer discretion is advised, as this particular reviewer likes to use elaborate expletives to describe downsides of reviewed games. It's pretty entertaining, though. PS. the actual review of Superman 64 for Nintendo 64 starts at 3:30.
Also, some context for the game itself, from the article itself:
> critical reviews were extremely negative, claiming it to be one of the worst video games ever made and panning its unresponsive controls, technical flaws, repetitive gameplay, overuse of distance fog, and poor graphics
It's interesting how this game came to be, because Titus Interactive was a pretty well known studio that had a decent track record until that point. I would be interested to read more about how exactly it happened that they've released this monstrocity.
- revolvingocelot 4y agoExactly. This comment's [0] link to a description -- and download! -- of a build of a much, much better game made me desire a writeup from some knowledgeable insider. I played the game in my misspent youth; the description of the shelved build is amazing, and saddening. Makes me think of the recently released Duke Nukem Forever 2001 build [1]. Everyone surely knows of the turkey DNF became, but back in 2001 it really looked [2] awesome.

- egypturnash 4y agoThe “development” section of this Wikipedia article gives a pretty good overview of it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_64#Development https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_64#Development All the footnotes next to the quotes lead to interviews with the head of Titus on the subject of Superman.
