BigDownload has posted the first screenshots for DC Comics and Sony Online Entertainment's upcoming PS3/PC MMO, DC Universe Online. The MySpace page also contains concept art by DC's Wildstorm Studios headed by comic art god, Jim Lee. There are also rumblings that the game will be shown at the San Diego Comic-Con later this month and a private invitation only party on July 25th.

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."
Awesome stuff, man. I love the look and feel of this one. It is remensiten ot the old DC but with a harder edge to it. I'll definatley check it out, even though I'm not into MMO's or online gaming much. However, anywhere the Flash is, I is.
I didn't expect MySpace to debut this -_-. Anyways, it looks interesting, and hopefully, E3 will shed some more light on the game.
PS3 and PC huh? Maybe they'll show it at E3.
Very intriguing. I am concerned however that in the coming years there will be greater and greater emphasis on MMO games and less and less single player games. We have seen evidence of this already when SONY dropped Getaway and Eight Days because of lack of online play. Let's hope for a future full of BOTH kinds of games..
But I guess this could work.
