I think I should start off by the saying the most important thing; I am not an MMO player. I have never played one before so this whole experience is new to me. That being said, I’m sure there are a lot of non-MMO players out there who were intrigued by a superhero PS3 MMO...
If you do not read this whole update, here's what you need to know:
* Episode 46 is Justice League Dark Cursed
* PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X launch this holiday season
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."
Interesting Read ;)
I'm also in the beta, and the game is solid. I've only hit around lvl 9, so not seen too much of it yet, but what I have seen is quite nice.
It's obviously influenced by a lot of other games - but for me the early game is superior to Champions Online (which I am a lifetime subscriber) - it just feels more fun.
The biggest problem for me is the business model on the PS3. I just can't see how gamers are going to pay full price for the game, and then £9.99 per month. It just feels wrong.
I'd have bought the game in a heartbeat if it followed the Guild Wars business model. Most PS3 gamers are already familiar with the micro-transaction model from the PSN store, and also buying DLC. So it would be a more natural fit than a recurring payment.
I think many gamers, who haven't played an MMO before, are going to ask the question of why they should play a game like this, when they could be having just as much fun in something like inFamous or GTA. The only difference is the addition of a persistent world and other players - and as chatting using the PS3 is not intuitive, I can't see the community aspect really thriving.
I think SOE have a tough battle on their hands to make the game a massive success on PS3. And as a side note, I dunno if the PC / PS3 are using the same servers, but the beta test seems very unpopulated - which is concerning when they should be stress testing servers and using community feedback to squash the last bugs.
Nice one dude
i had put news on my page
(Unlike most other MMORPGs DC’s new game does not limit character creation to a single class or type of character. The DC Universe Online talents based system will allow players to spend points however they choose to best tailor...)
