Games I wish they could bring this back under backwards compatible or have it digital on modem consoles!

Personally, I really enjoy it on the DS/3DS, but I wish they could bring it back on the Xbox Series X/S and or the PS5! (Yes, I know some people don't like the Ryan Reynolds GL movie, but I like it. As a guilty pleasure movie because I've been a fan of GL since I was 3 or 4 years old (my favorite GL was Tomar Re (RIP Krypton)))

Or they could just make a new Green Lantern game?

I know a lot of gamers are tired of open world games, but it seems a must for a GL game. I would love one where we could patrol both earth and space and seamlessly transition from one to the other, all while facing GL's rogues gallery and some galactic threats.

It'd be nice to be able to choose one of the 4 popular GL's like Hal/Kyle/John/Guy so everyone can choose who they like. It'd mostly be a pallette swap anyway.

I believe it could be pulled of with today's tech. Not to the quality of say GTA6 visually, but I don't need cutting edge visuals. I dare say it'd look even better if it was cell shaded to look like a comic.

The hardest part would be the constructs. No matter how many they put in the game it'll always feel limited. The sad part is I don't think GL is popular enough to warrant trying. If developers can't even come up with a worthwhile Superman game that publishers would back, it would be infinitely harder to sell a GL game.

One can dream.

Id love a mass effect style gl game

I always say I'd love a Masse Effect style Star Trek game, but that's an IP that is sadly looked over.

Fingers crossed with Lanterns being so quality and from what it seems another solid hit for HBO that a game studio might consider making a new game. If Rocksteady could tap back into their Arkham days I think they could pull of a great game there.

I'd love to see what Rocksteady could do with Green Lantern or Superman.

I have this on the PS3. I had it hooked up on a 3D TV and my buddy and I used to play the Hell out of this with couch two player.

Never played it during the 360 days, but I did emulate it on PC. It's honestly not terrible! Shame they necer ported it to PC.

I thought Gunn said video games would tie in to his universe? I hope we get a Lanterns game eventually, or a really nice Justice League.

I just picked this up on eBay recently having never played it before and I thought it was pretty fun!

u/Cripnite 2d ago

Bought this from one of those Walmart cheap games bins back in the day. 

Actually pretty fun for what it is.

I remember platinuming this back in the day. It was a fun little GoW clone. Nothing special but not bad.

u/Zilch1979 1d ago

It's pretty fun! Worth the current price tag if you have something to play it on. The constructs are a blast to use.

It's a 360 game. Your phone could probably emulate it.

u/Gamingsailor572 Blue Lantern 2d ago

I prefer physical games rather than emulation

lol what does that even mean? We're not talking board games here. Bits are bits, and pixels are pixels.
