"I'm not sure how I ended up being assigned to cover Sony Online Entertainment's first public hands-on showing of its upcoming MMO DC Universe Online here at San Diego Comic-Con. I don't do MMOs, and back when I read comic books, I mostly dabbled in the Marvel universe, with the occasional side excursion into DC's out-of-continuity titles like Sandman, Kingdom Come, and Watchmen. Sure, I've seen the Superman and Batman movies (yes, even Superman IV: The Quest for Peace), but all I really know about the DC universe is that every once in a while, the writers have to hit the reset button so continuity-obsessed fanatics will stop bugging them about how that one time in the '70s where Lois Lane became a black woman for a day can be reconciled with Lex Luthor's latest scheme, and how come we never see Krypto and Super-Horse anymore, huh?"
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."
