I like the Cities series but Champion's unrestrictive character creation/advancement sounds better.....but I hope the graphics are like CoX and not too cartoony or I wont play it.....

Champions looks like it could be better gameplay wise. But their style of animation ruins the whole game for me. I don't like playing cartoons. Can't say for sure but CoX to me now is the better of the two.

Champions Online has a lot of potential if they can deliver on the the depth of customization talked about on their site.  I personally like the cell shaded look, it brings a nice comic book feel to the game.  The only thing that makes me skeptical is they're developing it for a console platform as well.

For the most part I would say CoX.  Cryptic would want to make something distinctly different from CoX so they would seem to be copying the game they sold.  They would, however, have to make it similar enough to draw in comic fans or fans of the old pen/paper rpg.

They did mention that every player will have an arch-nemesis.  A npc that will harass the player throughout his heroic career.  If they could pull that off, that could be the thing that tips the game in their favor.

From the little bits of CO Im going to have to say 100% CO.

 

I love the look of the game, def more comic book looking in my opinion. Actual cut scenes with characters talking and moving thier mouth, unrestricted character advancement, and of course the biggest selling point for me, space, volcano, and jungle levels, not just all cities!

“Game Experience May Change During Online Play” is about ESRB ratings, not changing game content!

Did not vote -- too early to tell.  Why?  Because before City of Heroes was released, it was described the same was as Champions Online is now, including being designed with a skill system originally.  Sure, Jack E. and team may get it right this time but it's simply way too early to speculate other than "that looks interesting.".

Well that is what Cryptic initially said would be a feature.  Of course what they say will be in the final product and what will actually be in at release are two entirely different things.  Blizzard originally said Hero Classes (yes plural) and "meaningful" pvp would be in the game at release.   Well we know how those plans went....

So yeah as long as the villain is unique to each player, this would be an awesome feature.

Wow, that looks awful.  I don't consider myself a graphics whore but that is immersion breaking for me.
