X-Men Destiny first details kick of the new year

Since X-Men: Destiny's announcement, we haven't really heard much about it. Thankfully, the February issue of the Official Xbox Magazine has got some tidbits for us on it, and just in time to kick off the new year right.

Some of the more important things you should know about X-Men: Destiny is that it's going to be fashioning a "dark, mature & intense" over-all adult feel, although developers Silicon Knights aren't expecting an M rating for it.

Regarding the other features in the game:

San Francisco is divided into human & non-human sectors as Professor X is dead.
The game starts with a peace rally being staged to pay tribute to Professor X, which is when you are prompted to pick one of three characters in the crowd.
OXM's Activision guide chose Adrian Luca as their character.
The game presents the player with frozen in time "decision moments", indicating its time for players to make a big choice. The first big choice in the game allows you to pick your power archetype ranging from being able to manipulate matter and your body mass, energy projection, or a third one that was kept a secret.
The game allows you to decide who is friend or foe in the X-Men universe.
Cyclops, Quicksilver, Surge, Magneto, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, & Gambit are confirmed to make an appearance in the title, with plenty more to be announced.
X-Genes play a rather large role in the game, ranging from boss fights to deciding to give it to an X-Men, or someone else to form another alliance.
Linking together a good amount of attacks will fill up your "Mutant power" meter, allowing you to pull off even stronger special attacks.
One of the special attacks described as a part of the "Mutant power" meter was "Force Pillars". The attack was said to produce crowd clearing beams that rise from the ground.

So far they all sound pretty good. Hopefully we'll be getting more information about X-Men: Destiny in the coming days, but for now, this will do.

who else feels superhero games havnt moved into the 3rd gen, its still the same arcade type of jumping around combat

would be good if this was a more mature game, with a slower combat pace, heavy rain type action thriller, only with actually combat, you know sort of seeing are the city is being reduced
