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. "
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."
"What places other than Metropolis/Gotham city will we see in the game?"
Summary: Arkham Asylum; Ace Chemicals; Smallville is in the works; a playable area on the moon; a volcano with angry, intelligent albino gorillas;and the mysterious Area 51. Also, "inside Raven's mind to fight her tormented-soul-self" (Teen Titans).
/\ Sweet. Loved the trailer from Blur, and it looks like a nice amount of areas to play around in.
