IGN: DC Universe Online Beta for PlayStation Plus

The wait for DC Universe Online has been a lengthy one, but it's going to be a bit easier if you're a PlayStation Plus subscriber.

[scar20]

Cuz i'm a big fan of dc im signing up.

[krouse93]

Plus is definitely worth it so far!

[goflyakite]

So everyone get this beta like AC:BH? Hopefully because I haven't been picked for any beta yet, been subscribed to PS+ since day one. AC:BH is the only beta I've gotten from PS+ because it was for everyone.

[JohnnyMann420]

Totally Agree. I bought it a couple months ago once I noticed that there is a steady stream of content. I held off to make sure...lol.

@goflyakite

The AC:BH and the Killzone 3 beta's are the one's I've gotten in. And I couldn't be happier Sony sure know's how to give us our money's worth. I've always seen all of their products as having a lot of depth and value. And PS Plus is no Exception

[Tony-Red-Grave]

so far all the betas ps+ offered

1) red faction battlegrounds**
2) killzone3***
3)AC:BH*
4)dead space*

*i was part of
**decided not join
***couldve joined but didnt because of e-mail

@gold5225

Oops, forgot I had KZ3 beta too. But I was just wondering if this beta was for everyone like the AC beta was.

(btw i'm also really happy with PS+)

[Keith Olbermann]

I have plus and Ive been in every beta so far except lbp2 and I'm not sure people are in that one yet. Cant wait for DCU beta!!

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

The game actually is looking good.

Here is a demo of 1 hour if someone missed the video:

It looks better than I thought. Alright Sony you got my money. PS+ here I come.

[akiraburn]

ALFA, I've been in the PC Beta for a while, and I can definitely stand by that statement. Hands-down, it's a lot of fun. It's too early for me to say if it'll be the kind of game that has a ton of lasting power, but I can say that since I started the beta a few months back, it's been a very fun experience that's been ever changing for the better, and all based on community feedback. I'm definitely interested to see the way it plays on PS3 in comparison.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

You can make Clans with people?

[akiraburn]

@Alfa, Yeah there definitely is a guild system in place for it. It's been a little while since I've last logged in, so it may have changed some, but just about every MMO out there has some sort of guild system in-place by default.

[blasian]

I signed up to plus 30 minutes ago. Already downloaded so much of the free stuff I know it was atleast $15 so im content. The beta made me sign up and im glad I did.

[8thnightvolley]

gettin on.. been on plus from day 1

[DirtyLary]

Nothing new here.

Just another paid beta.

[JohnnyMann420]

This totally made my day.

[BrianG]

Its only a day maker...

But seriously, I wanted to try this game out after hearing about it, so glad I signed up for that year + 3 month deal.

[SpitFireAce85]

Is that deal still going on i want to try
DC universe and this seems like a great time
to sign up for PS+...:)

[krouse93]

@SpitFireAce85

Yes, I am pretty sure the deal is still up. So hurry and take advantage of it!

[PHOSADRA]

PSN > XBL
PSN PLUS >>>>> XBL

[SilverSlug]

Depends really, I prefer playing games on PS3. PSN Plus service is way different from Xbox Live.

[zeal0us]

Just because Sony is more open to putting MMOs on their console doesn't necessarily mean PSN or PSN+ is any better than XBL. PSN+ is just a way to catch up on lost profit, Sony should of just came out with PSN+ to begin with or not included it at all. I believe if Sony would add these PSN+ features to the free PSN, they could got way more consoles sold than M$ and still seen some profits.

[krouse93]

They can't have that many beta testers for a games though the servers would be crushed. If it was free and everyone was allowed in.

[tplarkin7]

Sony fanboys are like North Koreans. They live in a bubble of ignorance about the outside world. They also never question the Dear Leader.

[thehitman]

After the gamespot vid on it I think this will make me sign up for PS+ Finally.

[KaiokenKid]

dang, if only I subscribed to PS Plus! OH WAIT, I DO!

[Graphics]

Ive had the pc beta since september and have only played it about 4 times so far, the gameplay is cool, but the lack of player population makes it feel very boring.. the maps are too big and feels empty. They need to make this open to everyone.

[radphil]

Definitely. The game has a lot of potential, and it's very fun in the game play and such, but the PC pop, since it's still in a Closed Beta, is VERY low, so it's hard to complete the Alerts and other group based quests.

[Arup02]

Just a question: This is a PS3 exclusive?

[alphakennybody]

ps3 and pc only.

[Biggest]

No it isn't. It is a multi-platform game for PS3 and PC. I hope it's good. FFXIV isn't quite cutting it right now.

[Quagmire]

Console exclusive

[krouse93]

It's made by Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) So yes, it's a PlayStation 3 and PC exclusive game.

[zeal0us]

When I get an ps3(most likely christmas), I will just stick to psn-.

PSN+ vs XBL Gold
kinda the same so not really a victor in this fight

PSN vs XBL Silver

PSN wins mainly because XBL silver can't play online multiplayer games.

[cemelc]

Has xbox live Gold ever give any real games for free, and i dont mean UNO, i mean wipeout or the full Fallout 3 dlc?

Didnt think so, PSN+ is better than live.

[Xusuyzus]

Holly shit,.. guys go to gamespot and watch there GameSpot Presents: Now Playing - DC Universe Online feature,..
I almost pissed in my pants !!

[dragon82]

That just made my month. I have been waiting to get my hands on this game.

[Bolts]

PC Beta has some serious chat issues so I'm curious to see how players will communicate in the PS3 beta. As long as the PS3 version is the same as the PC then this game could be a console hit.

[radphil]

If you are talking about having to switch to the different tabs, then yea. I addressed that in a feedback, along with a few others, so hopefully that gets fixed as well.

[BigO]

Sweet glad I got PS Plus!!!

[John Kratos]

Can;t wait totry this out.

[RonXD]

Well this sucks for people like myself who won't be buying Playstation Plus. Looks like i'll never be getting into another beta on the PS3 again at this rate.
