DC Universe Online
« on: July 26, 2010, 06:48:31 PM »
Not been keeping my eyes on this one, with it going through the release/cancelled/release game, but heres the cinematic trailer that sets the story for this game

"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

Still not sure - SOE (and Warner Bros) (both of whom fucked MxO in this ass and SOE well....).

TBH though another surperhero mmo couldnt interest me unless they really deviate from the "wow" model.

Video is shiny mind.

DC Universe Online (EU PC): Psilance, Psion Hero, Noctirian, Sorcerer Villain
Neverwinter: Theron Dios, Control Wizard (Beholder)
Star Trek Online: Eric@TaithZero
SWTOR: Tarkanian, Sith Assassin (Progenitor) (Inactive)

Trailer is fun. Love 'evil' Supes.

I hear that this is supposed to be F2P, so if so, I'll be picking it up.

Not F2P (its an SOE game, so if it ever does it'll be a crappy implementation).

Games very much CoH/Co (to me) with better graphics and real actual superheroes.

Worth a punt instead of beers for lunch ;)
