"Just ahead of the New York Comic Con, Sony Online Entertainment hosted an event in New York City today to showcase its upcoming MMO DC Universe Online. The event, which was hosted Creative Director Jens Andersen and Senior Producer Wes Yanagi, showcased some new story elements and character creations.
The two took us through the character creation process, which seems pretty detailed, as you can actually create some pretty neat looking superheroes or villains. As you've no doubt heard by now, DC Universe doesn't allow you to play as your favorite DC superhero (such as Batman, Superman, or The Green Lantern) or villain (such as Lex Luthor or Doomsday), but you are given the option to create your own superhero from scratch -- or you can use the "Inspire" button to create one similar to one of your favorites. What Inspire does is create a character for you that is based on an actual DC character, so if you love Batman and want your character to be exactly like him, then the Inspire button creates a character that closely mimics Batman and his abilities. Once the character is created, if you still feel like tweaking the abilities, you can until you are absolutely comfortable with your design."

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."
Can't wait
