Game: DC Universe Online
Nice clip I just wish the character they used in the clip looked different but nice premise and it will hopefully strike a chord with me that COH came close to and Chamions not even close.
As long as combat works well and smoothly and not too much standing still mashing buttons that will be pretty amazing. I guess there is always a part of me that wants to be a super villian throwing cars at people.
I do wish they had picked a slightly different looking hero though, next trailer go for something that looks a little less Iron Man and a bit more dark and gothic that befits DC.
Honestly I'm not to impressed with what i've seen thus far. the graphics are mediocre as to what you would expect now a days, i understand more than likely they are trying to keep that comic feel to it, but it just doesn't look quite as nice as it should, granted they still have time before release but i doubt they are going to do much more work on that. Also due to the fact of SoE's horrible track record i'm not going to be rushing out to buy a copy when it comes out. I would still like more info though on the combat system and the like but that will come in time but as of right now, I'm far from impressed.
Overall not too bad. My only critique is (if it is even worth nothing) that everyone runs around like an antelope. They run as if they were on the lesser gravity. It just doesn't seem like a run, but a "lope". A nice feature would be offer common movement options in the character creator. Champions has a beast movement on all fours and a acrobat style of running. Please don't misunderstand. The methods of travel are solid. Superspeed up walls, flying, acrobatics, etc. But the standard animation of running bothers me if it is the same for everyone. ::shrugs::
Umm why are there no shadows? Omni-directional lighting anyone.. looks awful. Toss some proper lighting and shadows and it would help the graphics by a ton.
This is one I will be trying regardless. Looks nice and definitely next gen for MMO's. The mechanics and pace of combat are what has me looking forward to it. I do agree with the guy about the antelope comment though lol, wish they didn't run so funky but so far thats my only complaint.
better graphics, not darker or realistic, that would look like marvel not dc lol, just a little better of graphics and maybe some work on clunky actions.
The video is corrupted or something. It keeps resetting to the beginning when watching it at about the 75% mark. It was fully buffered so not sure it was playing like that
Looks a lot better then Star Wars: Old Republic and the rest of the "anticipated" MMOs coming soon. I'm not into superheros but I am definately playing this one.
semi looking forward to this seems to be shaping up nicely, plus the DC universe is just better written than CoH. I really hope they put comic book writers on this, could be an awsome thing.
Looking pretty good :)

Wed Jun 16 2010 4:56PM ReportTracking for this a looong time!!!
Wed Jun 16 2010 5:33PM ReportWhy was this trailer narrated by a 12yr old kid?

Wed Jun 16 2010 7:18PM ReportI like how they focused on a no name hero/bad guy than one of the MAIN ones. pretty cool video.
Wed Jun 16 2010 9:12PM ReportSOE will kill the community after a while anyways..waste of moneh
Thu Jun 17 2010 3:27AM ReportAdmit it. You are gonna try it, even if for just a few minutes. You may not like the shop, SOE, or whatever, but you still gotta try it.
Thu Jun 17 2010 7:47AM ReportLooking very cool, the key will be the atmosphere but certainly it has a very DC feel to it already, can't wait!

Thu Jun 17 2010 1:34PM ReportAn ok video but, so far I'm not seeing anything that makes this a leap beyond COH/COV.
Thu Jun 17 2010 6:56PM ReportI might be interested if this was not SOE.
Thu Jun 17 2010 10:50PM Reporti would be so stoked if this was marvel, but who wants to play in a universe with superman...
oh shit i need help! where's the invincable guy at?
