Sony: 'DC Universe Online' Is An MMO For The Console Crowd Too

20
Mutiplayer's Tracey John reports:

"When I briefly spoke with John Blakely, VP of development for Sony Online Entertainment – Austin, at E3 last week, he promised that "DC Universe Online" has something for everybody.

For anyone who's a fan of DC Comics, they can, of course, expect nods to various aspects of the DC Universe. "The DC fan is going to be like 'I want to see Superman, I want to see Batman.' There's Bizarro, Big Belly Burger and those kind of things," Blakely said, without revealing too many details before a playable version of the game hits Comic Con later this week."

2 - Actually
i think they should make it pay to play and make Everquest 3 or Guild wars 2 free to play on the PS3.

Now that would be nice.

A new EverQuest would be real cool. I really would love to see SOE make EverQuest 3 and if it could be for the PS3 too that would be sweet.

I have to confess I haven't got a clue what the Devs are smoking here. I really cannot see this achieving any success on the PC. Still nothing ventured nothing gained I guess. Thankfully this is one game that won't suffer horrendous piracy, but then it won't sell eithe on the PC either.

It is in the DC universe. I think it will sell fine.

Are you insane ? City of heroes had success without a big license like Marvel or DC , well without any license actually ... and you truly think THIS wouldnt work ?

I just wish MS didnt try one with Marvel , and taht SOE was working with Marvel instead , but oh hell , the DCU is fine too .

If free, I will be getting this game, Sounds pretty cool =]

Reminds me of NCSoft's City of Heros/Villans.

This game should be very similar to city of heroes. i wouldn't be surprised if it played almost identically.

good thing Sony locked up NCSoft or else they might have jumped over over to the xbox and developed City of Heroes to go against this DC Comics game.

5 - They didn't reveal much about this game.
Do you create your own character's looks and powers?

Yes as it's quite similar to CoH and champions online in its concepts . You create your characters probably with as much if not more features than CoH (to this date the most extensive in look customisation) .

Alright thanks!

This game sounds pretty promising. Hopefully, there'll be some pvp battles too.

Well it will probably . We already see villains and heroes , and interviews pretty much state you can pick a side and ally yourself to heroes or villains .

It was a missing feature in CoH that was even added with the city of Villains addon (while imo a bit too late) . i'd say it's unlikely to see SOE repeat that mistake and not include it from the go .

I'd also add still to watch out for Champions online , the game from the CoH maker . I also hope this one would also come to ps3 ( i dont think they'd bother with 360 after the cancellation of Marvel Online)
