>I dont see any actual RPGs coming out of the superhero genre
How young are you? There was a time X-Men and then the whole Marvel Universe got Diablo clones that were very popular.
Two things
1. The last time anyone did that resulted in Champions Online which while still active isn't exactly popular
2. Like 99% of Superhero TTRPGs are all ruleslite/narrative games so there's barely any mechanics to play an actual game with rules let alone one to translate into a videogame
>99% of Superhero TTRPGs are all ruleslite/narrative games
That's completely wrong though. Most superhero TTRPGs are crunchy as frick. It's just that their crunch usually sucks.
>RPG >Be new member of Titans or Hive Five, with various options of powers >Skill trees for your abilities >Villain like Slade or a side villain is up to no good >Help or fight them based on which side you chose >Other missions where you fight villains/heroes >DMC or DBXenoverse gameplay >Justice league member/villain as secret optional boss
>Justice league member/villain as secret optional boss
I like this idea a lot. A really cool way to implement a classic RPG superboss. Who would it be, though?
I’d say Superman/Apocalypse but that might be too cliche. Alternatively, and depending on the stakes, Batman/Joker, Womder Woman/Cheetah, Green Lantern/Sinestro, Supergirl/Galatea. If anyone has other ideas I’d love to hear them.
>Batman or Joker as the secret superboss >They both start the fight with some gadget/chemistry-based attack that gives the entire team a massive stat debuff >You're essentially brought down to street-level hero tier, having to fight the quintessential street-level hero or villain in DC
Considering it'd essentially be a 6-on-1 when counting the OC hero, maybe one of the Green Lanterns? Not the real heavy hitters like Hal or John, but maybe like Guy Gardner?
>Justice league member/villain as secret optional boss
Even better if you fight a hero if you're a hero and a villain if you're a villain.
Hero side is presented as some sort of ultimate baptism in combat to be accepted in the justice league.
Villain side is presented on you trying to teach the biggest baddest villain around who's boss.
That's a cool idea, but I think it would only really work if the boss fight is a 1-on-1. It kinda cheapens the baptism of someone joining the League if it's 5 or 6-on-1, and it undermines the Villain protagonist's attempt to show the boss he's fighting that he's tougher if he needs an entire posse to do it, and the boss is solo.
I would have assumed it was solo. Depending on the type of RPG, Solo battles are either the majority of fight or can easily happen in special circumstance.
Depend on the kind of RPG you meant really.
My first thought for this was something kind of like the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games, where you freely switch between 4 or more heroes, since this is still a Teen Titans game, so all the focus shouldn't just be on the OC when it comes to gameplay. But I figure it could easily work as an action game akin to DMC only with RPG elements that determine how the OC fights, and a system to issue simple commands to other heroes in the field, kinda like a Musou game.
>the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games, where you freely switch between 4 or more heroes
Meh, was really never a fan of this kind of game personally. Also hardly sound like a RPG. >But I figure it could easily work as an action game akin to DMC only with RPG elements that determine how the OC fights, and a system to issue simple commands to other heroes in the field, kinda like a Musou game.
Sounds more interesting honestly.

I'd rather a third person with pause option akin to the old infinity, Dragons Age and Divinity 2 games
The main TT characters are more interesting separately than they are together. You could make a better game with a better story using any one of them as the protagonist of their own game than you could with the whole team.
>Outfit unlocks, of course. Including classic costumes and appearances.
That would be cool 15 years ago. Unlockable outfits now are synonymous with live service and loot boxes.

I couldn't care less about all the "This part is sooo emotional and important!" soap operaness. This isn't 1981. The readers arn't 12 year olds looking for the next Shocking! romantic line between two of the characters.
For me its >Custom Protagonist with a power of your choice (Tech, Meta, Magic) >Plot inspired by Judas Contract so Deathstroke is the main villain >Either XCOM turn based combat or real time action with lots of verticality and freedom of movement >Romance inspired by the Sims game >Extremely stylized comic art direction. I do not want a generic looking game like Midnight Suns >Robin is still the leader of the Teen Titans not you >A personality system based on your dialogues and action >Crossover with another Teen Titans group in an expansion or maybe the Justice League
Also as much as I like the idea of romancing established Teen Titans character, would DC allow that? Midnight Suns doesn't and I suspect the one of the reason is they don't want the OC Hunter have a romantic relationship with Marvel characters. Maybe a Teen Titans with OC characters and just a crossover with the classic cast would be better?
>Romance inspired by the Sims game
What does this mean? You spam talk to them over and over until they're willing to bang you? Honestly I'd rather a Persona style friendship / romance system being in place so that each character has their own independent plotline going on that you can help them out with.
That would probably be the best way to go. Make it even more like Persona by making it so finishing that character's independant plotline gives them a bonus, be that an extra advantage in combat or just something simple like an alternate costume. And also make it so you have clear friendship and romance routes you can take. You don't have to romance anyone if you don't want to.
I was thinking more of borrowing some aspects. In Sims, the dating event has a set of tasks that you can fulfill to increase the success of the date which will give relationship boosts. Even add in some mini games. It would make for a lot of interaction which would be fun. Then once the relationship meter reaches a certain level, you can have special events that can take the form of just talking with each other or even missions with just you and the other character.
From what I've seen Persona's friendship/romance is just a text scroller kinda boring. Love Hina game I played unironically has more interaction.
Depends on how the mentor system works and who'd be available.
If the mentor is just my sponsors to join the Teen Titans, why not as long as the choice is interesting and not redundant with someone else on the team (Ie getting sponsored by Batman when there's already Robin).
If the mentors work like in Xenoverse? Kinda meh since the power system is different and it wouldn't make sense that I can use Superman's heat vision unless the whole plot revolve around me having copycat powers.
If having a mentor is just a glorified live service trap or microtransaction bait, just no.
Could be an OC mentor character whose power depends on what you initially chose in the character creation. Your character uses magic, then the mentor is a sorcerer. If you chose to be a non powered tech user, then so is your mentor.
Maybe there could be a sort of "origin" choice during character creation that explains how your character got their powers, and the nature of said powers are what determine who's the OC's mentor, who runs you through the tutorial and can show up in the story here and there to help out when things start heating up
>RPG
I dont see any actual RPGs coming out of the superhero genre, best you can hope for is a branching off power upgrades.
Maybe there can be a Superhero CRPG one day. Non-marvel/DC original of course.
i could see there being a super hero rpg in the sense mass effect was an "rpg"
>I dont see any actual RPGs coming out of the superhero genre
How young are you? There was a time X-Men and then the whole Marvel Universe got Diablo clones that were very popular.
Not him but those were beat em ups.
No, they were Diablo clones, when X-Men Legends was released magazines at the time were labeling it as such.
why?
aren't there tons of superhero ttrpgs out there?
literally just convince a company to adapt one instead of doing heroic fantasy yet again

>I dont see any actual RPGs coming out of the superhero genre,
Now what do you mean by RPG?
Do you mean the genre or the more familiar trappings of the JRPG turn-based style?
Because if it's the latter, than I'm certain that not only a TT RPG could be possible (comics or cartoon version), but it could actually work
Raven romance
I'm only half joking
>RPG
>Be new member of Titans or Hive Five, with various options of powers

This is where you lost me.
Add in a side plot where you can frick Raven and you're gold.

That’s fricking kino
>tfw youre already a street level hero and now further weakened
Superman infected with Pink Kryptonite. Better stop him before he ass rapes all the male Titans.
Oh no! I've accidentally tripped in Titan's Tower! I sure hope pink kryptonite superman doesn't frick me in the ass!

Cut this and it sounds fun

Also sauce on that Raven please.

frick the women. What else could anybody ever want?
If you've ever played SEQUEL, basically that
All five on screen at the same time, similar to Lunar.
Looks like the Raven from Titans played by Teagan Croft
Stealth Fortnite thread
I would buy a TT-themed roguelike.
The main TT characters are more interesting separately than they are together. You could make a better game with a better story using any one of them as the protagonist of their own game than you could with the whole team.
Outfit unlocks, of course. Including classic costumes and appearances.

One that can fragment into smaller RPG's and go willy nilly all over the place.
>Raven wants to frick you after the battle
>Yes
>Run Away
Robin and Beast Boy in skimpy summer outfits
Rocksteady should've madd Teen Titans instead of Suicide Squad

For me its

>Romance inspired by the Sims game
No, I want an actual good romance system.
playable Doctor Light of course.
Character creation at the very least. Romance options too.
Oh and an original story. It's worthless if I'm just playing through an already established story. That's one of the mistakes the OPM game made.
Yeah if its just an adaptation , you'll already know whats gonna happen. No twists or turns to entice the players.
And it also make your character feel completely pointless and unnecessary, not a good feeling while playing and pretty immersion breaking.
Would you want a mentor in a Teen Titans RPG? Like how Robin has Batman or Wonder Girl with Diana.
Depends on how the mentor system works and who'd be available.
If the mentor is just my sponsors to join the Teen Titans, why not as long as the choice is interesting and not redundant with someone else on the team (Ie getting sponsored by Batman when there's already Robin).

Why not then, depend on what they do in the story I guess.

So long as they actually have a decent-sized role in the story and aren't just glorified cameos.
Romance options
For it to be 100% about getting with the girls. If you prioritize crime fighting and training over romancing them, you get a bad end.
