EA’s definitiely got their work cut out for them now that their hype machine’s kicked into effect for their ‘Superman Returns’ tie-in. It’s one thing to make the same old promises about remaining true to the core concept of the character/comics, but their promo guy’s flat out stated that by playing this game, you’re gonna feel like you’re actually flying. WTF?

“We have assembled world class talent at EA Tiburon to deliver this blockbuster experience and we are thrilled to team up with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Comics and have the opportunity to demonstrate our creative and technological expertise in the action/adventure category,” said Steven Chiang, vice president and studio general manager, EA Tiburon. “We are creating a game that allows players to experience a real sense of flying, and master Superman’s unrivaled super hero powers in order to save Metropolis. Only Superman can meet challenges of this scale.”
