SOE spills DC Universe details |

Sony Online Entertainment has given out new details on its upcoming MMORPG DC Universe for the PC and the PlayStation 3. The game has no release window yet, but what we found out was pretty exciting.As most of you may have expected, DC Universe will not have you playing as any specific DC hero or villain. What it will give you is a character whom you can customize, build, and assign powers to. This means you'll be unique instead of being one Batman out of thousands.
Powers can range from anything between elemental attacks to high-impact melee blows. Movement types can also be set if you want to be agile or flying. Your allegiance to good or evil, of course, can be set from the get-go.
According to the game's creative director Jim Lee, DC Universe is a hybrid between a first-person action game and a traditional MMORPG. You'll be leveling up, assigning stats, and collecting gear, but the action will be just as fast-paced as any console shooter.
It seems that DC characters will be something like bosses in this game. For instance, causing enough trouble in Gotham City will force the Caped Crusader to take you on. PvP and PvE battles will be constant, according to the devs. This one should be mayhem to the bones.
That's all the details we have for now on DC Universe. It's good to see that DC is finally stepping up to its Marvel counterparts when it comes to video games. They also have a fighting game coming up in the form of Midway's Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3). That one's another title to watch out for.

SOE will just be wasting time money effort resources on such fruitless characters on games, batman is the only DC character that have decent games and the rest flops at sales, even superman is a dork when it comes to videogame sales.
SOE should work in porting all those wonderful korean and japanese mmorpg's, we wanna see these titles on PSN
i know this will generate tons of income
Ragnarok Online 1 & 2
ROSE Online
RF Online
Rohan
Maple Story and tons more great titles.
or how about making an "armored core-esque" MMORPG

As for this particular game, it seems to follow the unfortunate mold; I don't see it making a great mark.

seeing the majority of it will be other users
the regular mmorpg fans would probably ruin it with their total boredom
anyway to the above comment,
those japanese cartoons are for sad grown men to watch
comic heroes almost everyone has watched when they were a kid
and yh BATMAN is the good one, LOL
anyway seems good
happy theyve finally done something like this

you cannot just discredit a system out of GP if it was the first out of box online console.... then it was the first out of box online console.
also on another perspective...... all the hub-bub over Halo... I always said they ripped off tribes
