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:
“Creativity seems to emerge from multiple experiences, coupled with a well-supported development of personal resources, including a sense of freedom to venture beyond the known.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (20th century)
“I’ve always been impressed by the different paths babies take in their physical development on the way to walking. It’s rare to see a behavior that starts out with such wide natural variation, yet becomes so uniform after only a few months.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“... work is only part of a man’s life; play, family, church, individual and group contacts, educational opportunities, the intelligent exercise of citizenship, all play a part in a well-rounded life. Workers are men and women with potentialities for mental and spiritual development as well as for physical health. We are paying the price today of having too long sidestepped all that this means to the mental, moral, and spiritual health of our nation.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
