Development
Eric Caen revealed in a e-mail interview that the plot of the N64 game was mandated by Warner Bros., due to a desire to not have Superman fight "real" people. Caen, who was the co-founder of Titus Software, stated in another interview that they were attempting to create the first "superhero-based" video game where players really behave as a superhero.
The main issue on working on the game was working with the licensor, which caused many problems. "The licensor caused us A LOT of problems..; they generated the final quality of the product!", said Caen. "It is not even 10% of what we intended to do, but the licensor killed us!" The design was originally considered "too ambitious compared to what an N64 was able to deliver...", said Caen.
Superman was originally unveiled to the public at the E3 in 1997 and 1998.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“Somehow we have been taught to believe that the experiences of girls and women are not important in the study and understanding of human behavior. If we know men, then we know all of humankind. These prevalent cultural attitudes totally deny the uniqueness of the female experience, limiting the development of girls and women and depriving a needy world of the gifts, talents, and resources our daughters have to offer.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
“Every new development for the last three centuries has brought men closer to a state of affairs in which absolutely nothing would be recognized in the whole world as possessing a claim to obedience except the authority of the State. The majority of people in Europe obey nothing else.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“The man, or the boy, in his development is psychologically deterred from incorporating serving characteristics by an easily observable fact: there are already people around who are clearly meant to serve and they are girls and women. To perform the activities these people are doing is to risk being, and being thought of, and thinking of oneself, as a woman. This has been made a terrifying prospect and has been made to constitute a major threat to masculine identity.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
