DC Universe Online

This is a great indicator of what you'll be able to do with your hero.

Things have been a lil dry around this thread.

is there a release date scheduled for this?

Good stuff....

One of the developers said they're still pre alpha...so there's no ship date....smh. Probably 3rd or 4thQ.

~Goodz~

Some of those videos are from summer, around E3, they haven't dropped much new info as of late. I think they're in alpha now. They have developer videos in the Euro store that are not in the US or the Japanese store. You gotta have all accounts to get all PSN's content. I'll watch them again to see what stage they're at.

I'm Crunk!

~Goodz~

lol

This looks to good. I saw a review on it yesterday and the only drawback i see is that it only supports 6 players. i might pry wh out of my ps3 for this. maybe. lol


Standing

Hmm...it's suppose to be an MMO. I wonder if that's only on specific missions or tasks.

~Goodz~

This beta is FIGHTING man...goes hard. The creation of your character...the missions, THE GRAPHICS, the WORLDS...it's unbelievable man. I'm getting this...so far from what I've played tonight...it's with the $15 a month. I'm bout to go create another character.

~Goodz~

I wanted to DL the beta but its a damn 12gb DL...

Might have to check it out if its that good... though its doubtful that I'll put a lot of time into it.

Yeah...to actually DL what's in the store only takes about 3 to 5 minutes.

Once you "set up" is what takes the longest...it took me like 3.5 hours for all the "assets" of the game to DL.

After a couple of days...these are my imressions.

One word...REMARKABLE.

One of the most anticipated games for me has been DCUO. But over time, I got turned off with all the push backs, delays...and I eventually lost interest esp. when I heard that there was a $14.99 monthly fee. First month is free when you buy the game. I DL'd the Beta just to check it out and see how it was, since the "MMORPG" was totally new to me and to the PS3 system.

MAN .... The opening trailer - setting up the game, got me instantly. The graphics from pics I saw and on youtube do no justice for this game...unless they just have improved them over time, hell it HAS taken years.

After the set up or intro of the game...you immediately go to creating your character. You can base it off a previous DC Character as a template, or you can start from scratch. You have to decide...Hero or Villain. From that point you select who will mentor you through out your career. Followed by selecting your Personality, base Powers, followed by weapontry. Then you begin to work on your character. Very...very...VERY, detailed as in how you create your character. The size distinction and disparity in player sizes is tremendous on this game...Large, Medium, small for men and women. I'll post some pics later when I get home...of my characters. As for costume, anything you can imagine from a character standpoint of what's avail through DC, you have at your disposal. Every piece and detail, you have the ability to control the color. Probably one of the most detailed create a character options I've seen before in a game....right there with Modnation Racers as for detail availability. You'll see alot of Scratch characters, that look like they should be off in a comic book...tons of creative folks out there.

After you create the character and save...it immediately takes you to the first phase of the game...Brainiac's ship, where through a few little missions...you learn the standard movements of the game. By the time you finish this...you'll be a level 3. Once you finish...you warp to the respective lobbies of your world. If you're a Villain..you go to a Villain players lobby, and so forth for Heroes. The first time I was in a players lobby (Hero) it was if I was watching X-Men 3..when they had that Mutant Rally. You see all these other people out there...just like you, with characters, doing any and everthing. Flying, running fast, freezing stuff, blowing stuff up, disappearing, fire, you name it...The graphics again along with the movement and gameplay is phenomenal. It makes sense though...with it being a MMO and having the monthly fee.

In the main lobby you can meet folks, buy and repair gear/weapons etc with credits you've earned through out the game via vendors, check email or just relax. Basically it's like a Modspot on Modnation, or the Central Plaza etc on Home. You also can pick up new assignments from this area from certain "computer" characters w/in the game.

You can move throughout the game via by leaving the actual building...Justice League Police Station for Heroes, and Luther's Club for Villains. OR you can warp to certain areas within the world. The way it's set up...Heroes are on one side of each city/area and the Villains are on the other side. Eventually...boundaries will be crossed, and problems will begin. For both sides you have AI simulated oppositions on your side of the town to do missions, tasks, etc. But you will see some HUMAN (Controlled) characters of the otherside, on your side of town also. Whether it be lost, experimenting, or just running challenges or missions. There's alot of Ganking going on too. In a case like I just mentioned, for me on day 1...exploring Gotham, I crossed the boundary and didnt realize it. You can't really tell at times...it's all one big city, I found my self ganked or jumped by 4 Villains at once. These are players like you. It's common though...same thing happened when one snuck over to the Hero side and me and Red gave this guy a hard time until he just flew off...I eventually caught up to him on the surface and knocked him out. * You don't die, you get knocked out...causing you to have to flee, and respawn elsewhere.

The environment...Spectacular, every building is interactive you can literally leap or fly from building to building. You can swim in city lakes, rivers, beaches. Looking at the city of Gotham...it's what Rockstar SHOULD HAVE done with GTA4. They did their homework on this game. You can fly, run fast, even swim in water. I actually made The H aka The Hulk (They won't let you use Marvel names) and he was RUNNING on water. His movements, powers, appearance...EXACT to the actual character.

I'm DEFINITELY getting this game. After playin this...Starhawk HAS to come with it from a expectation standpoint. I wasn't expecting much out of DCUO and got BLOWN AWAY. For what you can do on this game...it's limitless. I'm expecting and anticipating alot from SH..and I just hope it lives up to those expectations.

The MMO is not for everyone. They require alot of time, though addictive...and it's not for those that love instant gratification. There are NUMEROUS levels to ranking up and building your character, it won't happen overnight...week, months. In most cases Years i.e. WoW, Everquest, and Conan.

So far I've created Da Greater Good (Me...Hero), Grand Shotta (A Jamaican Villain), and The H (aka The Hulk - Hero) I'll post pictures later...too bad once the game drops I'll lose it all, but it won't be a problem re-creating them.

I imagine the Beta will appear on PSN for non plus members next week, or the week after.

*Those of you that do have it and plan on giving it a spin...ther are 3 servers. Try to at least make a Villain on Server 1, a Hero on Server 2, and a Hero on Server 3. Any of the opposits of that puts you at odd ends of the world on there, and we won't be able to play together. You can add a friend through the game, add someone to your grop..and of course form a League which is the Equivalent to a Clan on the game.

It depends..which server you did your Hero on. Like for the most part...we have Hero's on Server 2 and Server 3. For Server One & 3 we have Villains. Are you could do one of each for each server. I imagine once the game drops, it'll all be inclusive. As for the servers...If you're a Hero, and I'm a Villain in the same server, there's no way we could play "together" based off the way the game is set up...who ever spots the other person of an opposing side, will get attacked. That's from someone outside of us.

i.e. If I'm a Villain, and you're a Hero...and following me, when you get around other "Villains" they are going to attack you b/c you're the enemy regardless. Vice Versa for me. That's why it's best to be the same as who you're playing with.

~Goodz~

Yeah, definitely going to buy this game. Something that I can play for a while and not get bored.

The main fixes this game needs so far..which is kinda hard to tell due to it being a beta, and I'm sure they're all aware are:

*Freezing, the excessive Freezing...sounds like it's more/less a server issue. If they haven't even opened it up to "the world", there appears to be an issue with those that are in the game now. With MMO's you're talking about MILLIONS within the game at once.

*Mic Issues - Now that we know in order to utizilze the mics now, you have to be joined within a group and or a League. I don't know how staticky my mic sounded, but I have an idea what it had to have been like. Initially Lee...your mic had this high staticy metal sound. I think Red compliained of mine, doing that the other day. When Gunna turned his on last night...it was TERRIBLLE. So that has to be resolved.

*Warping - I dont know if I'm doing this right or wrong. Seems like when I first played it, I was able to warp at will. Now it appears that it's not working.

*Add Friend, Group, Create A League from Friendlist - Doesn't work accurately. They also have to add PSN Friendlist integration to the game. Adding a friend on DCUO, has nothing to do with who's on your friendslist. Also with the name you go by on DCUO (Created Character) that's what shows...not your PSN name. I like how The League name appears under your name...we just gotta decide if we want "Movement" or "The Movement" ...maybe for the Villain side we can go with "Evil Movement".


Outside of those issues...everything else appears to be good. Just a matter of learning all the maps, areas and game controls. There's still so many maps/areas on the game I haven't even gotten too due to the size of each area.

Has anyone figured out how to use the powers correctly? I saw last night were gunna was able to use his "weapon" along with his "powers" (ICE)...I take it you have to reach a certain rank?

There's TONS of stuff that you can unlock that's not avail in create a character...I saw a guy last night with a Cowboy hat on. I need that.

The shared worldspace offers primarily solo and team player versus environment (PvE) gaming opportunities in the form of open air missions and instances, although player versus player (PvP) combat is also possible in this worldspace. Other PvP (and to a smaller extent, PvE) gaming is available in various types of queued instanced encounters: "Legends", small scale PvP combats in which players take on the identities of iconic characters (continued success in Legends combat unlocks additional iconic characters); "Arena", small scale PvP combat in which players fight as their own characters; "Alerts", cooperative team missions; and "Raids", large scale PvP combat between teams of opposing factions. Success in PvE missions is rewarded with in-game money, costume pieces, equipment and consumables, while PVP combat is rewarded with unlocks of special equipment sets.

People involved in Dc Universe Online

-Key collaborators include comic veterans Jim Lee (who serves as the game's Executive Creative Director), Ale Garza, Geoff Johns. Carlos D'Anda, and Scott Iwahashi, in addition to EverQuest developers, Jens Anderson, Chris Cao and Shawn Lord. The individuals certainly know what their doing. Jim Lee is an incredibly Talented artist whose memorable works include Batma Hush http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_Hush Superman For Tomorrow http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_Tomorrow_(comic) All StarBatman and Robin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Star_Batman_and_Robin and more! Geoff Johns has a healthy backround of writting for DC with to many titles to list, but can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoff_Johns
Carlos D'Anda recently participated in providing his art for Batman Arkham Asylum

-Sony Online Entertainment - Austin

Voice Actors

-We will be blessed with the voice talents of:
•Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy will reprise their frequent roles of The Joker and Batman, respectively. You may remember the sounds of their pipes from Arkham Asylum, as well as any other animated Batman project from the past 15 years.
•Former Firefly stars Gina Torres and Adam Baldwin will voice Wonder Woman and Superman, respectively. Though you probably didn't need that "respectively" bit, due to your understanding of gender.
•James Marsters will voice balding mastermind Lex Luthor. After playing Spike in Buffy, Brainiac in Smallville, Captain John in Torchwood and Piccolo in the recent Dragon Ball movie, this should be a nice notch in his nerd-fame belt.
•Wonder Woman's adversary, Circe, will be voiced by Michelle Forbes, who provided the voice for Dr. Mossman in Half-Life 2. She's also been in every sci-fi show ever made.

thanks Iwill try to fig it out so start a villian on one and hero on 2&3. not to happy about the 15$ a mouth pretty pricey it a down fall for the game. that is alot to dish out ever mouth, far as i'm concern sony is gold digging. its a game not a phone bill. I find it hard to belive that people are gone to pay for this when good portion of sonys customers are under the age of 20. hope they don't pull this stunt with starHawk

Well you have to keep in mind...this is a MMORPG. There is NO OTHER game like that for the PS3/XBOX/Wii...typically these are computer only. With majority of your computers attached to the internet, MMORPG are prevelent amongst Computer Gamers.

As for the price...it's avg. compared to what the 3 top MMO games are charging. People will pay it...World of Warcraft has 8.5M players, paying it. THAT'S INSANE. And has been out for YEARS. The thing about these MMORPG..there's no ending to the game, you keep playing and playing and unlocking and steady ranking up your character. This is why people sale their WoW characters on ebay for THOUSANDS of Dollars. Like I said, it's not for everyone...those that are looking for instant gratification with the quick rank ups and unlocking all unlockables...this is not the game for them. Not to mention there is constant packs and DLC. I'm also noticing from reading on DCUO forums, MANY computer owners are contimplating gettting a PS3 now...while there's people on there saying the only reason they got a PS3, was the announcing of this game.

Starhawk or any other game won't have this (fee). Those are just online games. There's a max as in how many the servers can hold. For instnace, 0-16 players for some games, 0-24 or 0-32 players etc. The closest Sony has come to an MMO was MAG...and that wasn't truly one. Couple of hundred players Vs. Thousands/Millions.


Avg. monthly subscription fee...as you'll see it's common and mandatory for MMOs. Initially when I heard about it, it turned me off from the game...but after playing it, to me...it's worth it.
