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:
“Understanding child development takes the emphasis away from the child’s character—looking at the child as good or bad. The emphasis is put on behavior as communication. Discipline is thus seen as problem-solving. The child is helped to learn a more acceptable manner of communication.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“As a final instance of the force of limitations in the development of concentration, I must mention that beautiful creature, Helen Keller, whom I have known for these many years. I am filled with wonder of her knowledge, acquired because shut out from all distraction. If I could have been deaf, dumb, and blind I also might have arrived at something.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“To be sure, we have inherited abilities, but our development we owe to thousands of influences coming from the world around us from which we appropriate what we can and what is suitable to us.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
