Sony today announced the delay of Superhero MMO DC Universe Online to 'Early 2011'.
DC Universe Online will be the first MMO headed to the PS3 in addition to the PC. Sony cited: "this extra time will allow us to address community feedback in a meaningful way. When we get deeper into external beta, we'll be able to share more information regarding the new launch date".
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."
Am I ever gonna be able to play this game?!?!
I'd be upset, really upset if it wasnt for the fact that i am in love with final fantasy xiv..
i was just wondering how am i going to balance two mmo's like ffxiv and dcu.. but now i get to not worry about it for the holidays at least..
but early 2011 is a terrible idea..
1. early 2011 is already crowded, infamous 2, killzone 3, portal 2, mass effect 2 and a bunch of others
2. this puts DCU around the same launch as FFXIV for the PS3 and who knows when agency is dropping.
