DC Universe Gamers Almost Evenly Split Between PC and PS3

This month's addition of an Egyptian-cursed Catwoman is just the first in what the creators of DC Universe Online hope will be monthly updates for the cross-platform online game.

"We want to add more stuff to the game on a monthly basis," Chris Cao, DC Universe game designer told Kotaku. "We want to add stuff that people want and we have a robust series of metrics to measure that."

I guess there is a future for MMO's on the PS3.

DFresh5254d ago

Only reason why a lot of MMOs have been coming to the PS3 is because of the fact that PSN Free and they can get away with charging a monthly subscription like they can on PC.

Xbox 360 barely has any MMOs simply for the reason that XBL is already a subscription based service and having 2 monthly subscriptions between an MMO/XBL just wouldn't work.

Edit:
Still I'm glad MMOs are finding places to expand and move forward then just being on PC.
I always prefer to play MMOs on PC for the accurate controls with the mouse/keyboard.

Nice. Hopefully the rumors about Blade and Soul also coming to PS3 is true. I think action mmo's could do really well on consoles.

It wasnt good at launch , is meh right now , you dont have access to everything for free actually ... the pvp is a joke .

to each their own , but Champions isnt even half as good as City of heroes/Villain , let alone DCUO .

It went f2p because people were dropping it real quick , making the f2p model more viable financially . They saw it worked for Star trek , and proceeded likewise

I think most people who play MMO on PC play WoW...It has the largest majority of MMO share and 12+ million subscribers.

Baka-akaB5254d ago (Edited 5254d ago )

Not true .

According to the Graphs MMO Revenues, published by Today’s Gamers, MMO players from the US, the UK, Germany, France and Netherlands combined amount to over 61 million .

And that's without the East being accounted for , given how unique and tricky some of their subscriptions system can be .

WoW is the biggest with subs , and maybe biggest period , but that's it .

Wich kinda prove that the mmo market is more than big enough for rivals . They just need to stop trying to kill WoW by cloning it , with less talented studios .

My girlfriends present to me on Valentines day is to not complain when I spend all day playing the updated content on DCUO :D

AssassinHD5254d ago

That sounds like a trap to me. She could indeed choose not to complain on Valentine's Day as your present, but it could come back to bite you at a later time if you actually spend all day playing a game instead of giving her attention.

Chaostar5254d ago

I'm gonna make her sign a waiver ;P

LMS5254d ago

looks sooo much better on pc....but both are dull and lifeless right now, the game has great possiblilities though, it's already dropping in price like crazy(it's $38 on amazon), When it hits the $20 mark, it will be a better game for less money

MMOs In 2021 Retrospective: Console Edition

WTMG's Thomas Medina: "As far as I’m concerned, console MMOs have always been in a weird place. PC is where the main game is most popular. MMOs were born there, work best there, and have the vast majority of titles. Mobile is then next in line, with touchscreens and portability that adds something new while functioning well. Console gaming, on the other hand, is not portable (for the most part). Plus, it uses a controller, which is not the best instrument when your control scheme requires a thousand buttons and a cursor. That being said, there is an audience, and where there’s money to be made, publishers find a way. So here we are with some of the biggest console MMO games and how I feel they handled 2021. "

Best Superhero Video Games Available Right Now

From Xfire: "A lot of video games are designed to make players feel like a superhero. However, very few actually feature superheroes or have players take on the role of a superhero. What makes this even worse is that there are even fewer superhero video games that can be considered good."
