First I have heard. you have a link to this>

I was asking a question to one of the previous posters, not stating a fact

I picked CoX because Champions has the worse set of graphics than any MMO ive seen.  I do find graphics having a part to play in the whole picture of an enjoyable game environment; right up there with balance issues, gameplay, lore, customer service, etc.

Graphics are horrible in Champions.

I would be surprised if Champion is anywhere close to CoX.

Hopefully, CoX is about to expand with a new setting.  New twists, new rules, new setting.  I am definitely looking forward to a City of Medieval-Fantasy or whatever they have in mind.

I will try Champion, but it really seem to be turning as an arcade game, with some RPG elements...yet who know...this definition could describe Diablo or Diablo III as well.

No official announcement. But reading between the lines (acquisition by NCSoft, President's statement about CoH Brand, hiring new staff, separate charge codes for different City developments...) I'd say it's a given.

 

Based on what Ncsoft has done in the past I think it is highly unlikely.  They simply do not do paid expansions for their subscription based games unless they have changed their stance all of sudden.

 It's a bit to early to choose which will be the better one as champions is not  even in beta yet and has had hardly any information released.

But from what iv seen so far CO look's promising I'm an old school COH player and loved it still is one of my favorite mmo's to date but needs more as it got boring so maybe CO will bring that to the table.

From the screens and vids so far it looks basically the same with some tweaks one of the obvious one is the graphics which in my opinion suits a super hero mmo allot better than what CoX has atm its more comic book style which i like.

But at the end of the day if CO delivers it will be a great mmo and defiantly  better than CoX i look forward to playing.

PS: unless ofc DCUO shines more than CO then I'm in a bit of a pickle but again DCUO has not had enough information yet.

Champions is being made by the same company that mad CoH.  It is just going to be a much better game than CoH.  It is CoH 2.

They can try to change the way things work in the game, but it will stil ring as CoH 2.  The characters look about the same just with a different shading engine over otop of them. 

It's like Square Enix making an RPG that is not Final Fantasy.  It will still reak of the FF flavor.  IT will still have an Ifrit, masume, ultima, mana.   It just has a different cast of characters with a tweak to the gameplay.  Same goes for this title.  It has the same character options plus a lot of extras.  Same flashy action, just with better effects.

The newest screen shot is horrible compared to the others I've seen on their site.

honestly, that's like saying if blizzard made starcraft2/diablo3, it'd be the same company making it.  yes it's the same COMPANY... but it's not the people that made the starcraft or either of the diablos.  same thing with wow2... yes, it's blizzard; but it's not the people that made the game.

CO has... emmert... who else?  who else that's been working on COx all this time, is working on CO?

i'm not being a smart-alec.  as far as i know, the only person from COx to go over to CO, is emmert.  ever since emmert left COx... it has done nothing but improve.

I really have to go with COX for these 2 reasons:

1. Graphics are cartoony and kiddy( gameplay can overcome this ex: LOZ: Windwaker)

2. Becuz its on a console it doesnt have alot of room to improve(especially graphics wise) becuz COX could one day do a big graphics overhaul - CO couldnt becuz it is being built off the 360, which would mean only very minor tweaks can be made w/o lagging up and killing 360 users
