Champions Online First Details

"The makers of City of Heroes hope to create the superhero MMO to crush all contenders.

" Champions is a popular paper-and-pen role-playing game. Since the first edition of the Champions tabletop game was released in 1981, the HERO role-playing system has since evolved into one of the most respected around, primarily for its robust character creation system. Champions Online takes many of the ideas of the tabletop game and reshapes it to fit the needs of a massively multiplayer online game.

"There's still quite a lot to be learned about Champions Online, but it appears Cryptic Studios is on the right track. Champions Online ships in spring 2009 on PC and Xbox 360.

1 - well...kinda explains why Marvel got canned.
I am guessing Cryptic decided they were better off pooling all assetts into this project rather than splitting teams off and delivering something less than what it should be. Champions is looking very interesting indeed!

The same company responsible, for marvel online, city of heroes, and the expansion city of villians though they sold the latter two to NCsoft. They are making a pc, 360 MMO? Yeagh, im sold I will pay to play this. I am desperate to try a full MMO game not a demo which I have experienced. Also, I just read the article on this game it will support cross platform play. Pc and 360 on day one of launch.
