Nice imported sound fx from CoH =p.

As long as they don't import the jungle cats humping sound effect from force fields that drove me nuts on my defender I don't mind.

Dzul · 01-27-2009, 09:19 AM

Any word exactly on what kind of PVP? Whats the release date looking like?

Well if it's ok to say I'm in the beta than I guess I can say I am, but if it's not ok then I am not! (I don't want to get kicked out)

I really hope this game has a decent physics system, i'd like to be able to blow up buildings or something if I'm a villain.

Both Champions Online and DC Universe Online are playable at the NY Comic Con this weekend. Anyone check them out?

Early reports are that DCU is very fast paced and plays more like an action console game but with tons of players whereas Champions is like CoH 2

Draegan · 02-09-2009, 06:22 AM

I played both. Your assessment of both is correct.

Buckaroo Banzai · 02-09-2009, 12:59 PM

We've put out a new video, and the second one is from the Comicon. 1st has an HD option.

What do I need to do to get a beta invite?

I'm so pleased with how great both this and DC's MMO are shaping up. It's a good time to be a comic book/superhero fan!

Dyscord · 02-09-2009, 05:06 PM

I'm actually afraid of this MMO because it looks to much like CoX 2. Well, not even 2, because the graphic engine almost looks the same. Maybe CoX 1.5. I ran through enough abandoned warehouses and techno cave bases in CoX. I really don't want to do it again, even with a new combat/character system.

Of course that's a little bit of an overstatement, they'll have new assets for the world environment, but the point remains that if they have us playing through the same 'dungeons' from 1-max level, I'll die a little inside.

Genjiro · 02-09-2009, 07:10 PM

DC looks much better from what I've seen so far, shrug. Need to play both in beta though to really tell.

Draegan · 02-09-2009, 09:12 PM

Rerollz at NY Comic Con: DCUO and Champ-O | Rerollz

I had some videos from both games on my webpage. Hanheld camcorder stuff, but it's something.

DC looks even more cartoony and much more gimmicky. They really seem to be counting on that mission system (which seems like it might be cool.....the first time you do one) and the OMGZ physics (which might be cool once, the first time you see something flashing green and throw it). They both look a bit spammy and low on the strat scale, but I think champs looks a touch more refined in terms of combat and not as reliant on gimmicky shit. Both look like you can actively dodge ranged attacks and stuff, which is nice. I do get a very CoH2 vibe from champs, which isn't necessarily a bad thing if it is CoH with some more focus on what was missing to give it more depth.
