***Official DC Universe Online Thread FREE TO PLAY FROM OCT 2011!!!***

Ok who, besides me of course, is excited about this game? Being a big DC Comics (and especially Superman) fan, when i heard they were doing this game I was really excited.

Of course, we still dont have a release date as yet but the latest news that I have read got me really pleased:

Wes Yanagi, senior producer on the up-coming "DC Universe Online" video game, told Gamescom in Germany that subscription to the online game will be completely free!
"In a surprising move, Wes confirmed that not only will there be no subscription fee for DC Universe Online, but that the game will feature completely platform-open servers; this means the servers will be cross-compatible between the PS3 and PC versions, no matter where you play."
No release date for the game has been announced as yet.

So, with that in mind, I am hoping this will make the game more appealing. I know there are a lot of people who will want to play this game. Seeing as my beloved Matrix Online has been shut down for good this is my next MMO to play. So, hurry up SOE (boo!) and tell us when the game is being released!!!

It's available on both PC and PS3. :D

From what I've seen it honestly looks like a really bad version of all the other superhero mmo's out there. So much so I can't see why anyone would want to play this over them, the fact it's on the PS3 really shows what they've done to dumb down the game for console usage.

Steering well clear unless there's a trial so I can really see what it's like.

Erm, it's DC, it's an official licensed superhero game. So really, it's the other superhero MMO's that'll be a bad version of this one. Me being a big DC and Superman fan, will be playing this game nearly 24/7.

They started taking beta registrations back in July and I even submitted an entry. But I've not heard anything, so I'm guessing either too many people applied and I was too late, or they've decided to scrap it altogether. lol.

I really hope that wasn't a fanboy "It's officially licensed so it must be better." Because [laughs] that really makes a lot of sense! :p Although I'm not sure what consitutes as good/bad in your head just because it's licensed. Doesn't mean it'll be good.

As much as I love DC characters,( I really do) the gameplay looks bad to me and I understand it might not to you. But I was commenting on gameplay, not story. You'll still need to create your own non DC licensed character however.

Ok, I jumped the gun there. But until you've actually played the game, you can't really comment on it. Then again, yes I am a DC fan boy. Always will be. So if the gameplay is deemed bad by others, for me, I'll not care. I'll just be happy that I finally have a suitable replacement MMO to The Matrix Online.

My main concern is just how quiet this game has been. Launching in a month and no real detail of what it plays like, what character creation options are or anything along those lines. I would not be suprised to see it slip or it be absolutely appalling. Which is a shame, as I want a green lantern ring powerset. :)

Clearly you joined the FB page then lol :p
 
I got my pre-order refunded by Steam within 24hrs of contacting them. Should have the money back in my account in the next few days. Now that's what you call service.

SOE on the other hand, you're not getting my money for this game until the release date itself. Beta is more than likely not to be available outside the USA and Canada, so it's pointless me pre-ordering it and waiting until 2011. Now that's what you call shoddy service.

I was tempted because i like superhero movies but i just know i wouldnt fit in as i dont read comics or follow anything to do with DC. I know if i get confused with something on the game id have a 40 year old laughing at me for being an "idiot" because i dont know the ins and outs of the DC world. Going to wait for the old republic me thinks.

LOL!! I am 30 mate. It's not about how old you are lol. Just so long as you have enough knowledge. Granted most of the players (including me) read the comics and watch the cartoons and tv shows, so we do tend to converse in all things DC like that. But it's nice :) and we all learn something from each other.
 
With the NDA now lifted, I will be posting pics from the beta very soon. And if anyone else has been playing, feel free to do the same and even post your experience so far (good and bad. but mostly good lol). :D
 
Right here is a quick teaser pic of my main character...there will be more soon ;)

CK6 did you have to redownload the whole game after the latest update?. Bloody launcher making me download another 10.8 gig :(
Click to expand...

When I downloaded the game the first time round, it downloaded 12.7GB worth of data. But last night they released a massive patch. It was 11.3GB in size. So that might be why. But the servers did shut in the last 30min to resolve an issue regarding voice chat in game. But just be patient :)
