The flying sounds like potential catatrophe... it says the camera is controlled by the right stick, so if you have inverse look on, will you look down as you fly upwards? I would rather fly in the direction that the character is looking in, or perhaps have a Warhawk-esque hovver on/fly on mode switch.

""So come the day Superman asks for your help, you'll get a chill,"
Except I won't, because Superman will probably just ask me to go and kill ten super-powered rat-people, just like every other fucking MMO. |

I liked the fact that when you get to a certain level then you get the potential of fighting along with bats or whoever.
Shame my PC sucks, and i dont have a PS3. |

I never want to play as Superman or Spiderman, i want to be 'The Funky Monk' or 'Biscuitman'... much more fun.
Hell, i was Paul Daniels in CoH, teleporting up to random PCs saying 'That's Magic!' and teleporting away again. me = easily pleased. |

I don't think there's so much fun to be found in being the established superhero. You already know because of comic-book convention, or familiarity with the character, the sort of things you'll be facing. But if you build your own character from scratch, you get to guide the development, create your own saga.

"I would rather fly in the direction that the character is looking in, or perhaps have a Warhawk-esque hovver on/fly on mode switch."
Warhawk's flying mechanism is pretty much perfect. I hope they adopt the same for this because from the DCU preview the flying sounded crap and likely to alienate a lot of potential players. |

The fanboy in me wants to hurt you, but unfortunately you speak the truth. There is clear daylight between Marvel and DC in terms of quality of stories at the moment. |

johnnybrn, as Edge explained in this month's magazine, the game's about building your own legends, so if you want to 'be' the heroes then there are plenty of other games to satisfy that need.
Additionally, your question regarding the appropriateness of the game for console gamers could also be leveled at Halo Wars. In short, your "not good then" remark jumping the gun. Oh, and other than Batman, DC isn' comparable to Marvel... :p MS 'F'ed up big cancelling that project.

"One day DC will be what it was, where it should be, King!
Once they get rid of Grant Morrison and give him back to Marvel cos hes shit " That won't change anything, DC would still have super-ponce and a bunch of other lame arse characters. And Grant Morrison isn't shit, just insane. He needs to be kept in check or he goes mental (see: The Invisibles), but in short bursts he can be amazing (see: Animal Man). |

@Pearl of anguish
The characters aren't the problem. The stories are. It is more than possible to make good stories involving Superman. As a matter of fact, I actually prefer DC's superheroes, but nothing DC has produced in the last 3-4 years comes close to Ironman, Thor, any of the Avengers books, Ms Marvel, even Spiderman (now that I am getting used to 'Brand new day', Iron Fist, Secret Invasion and a few others. Captain America is shit, though. So is Daredevil. |

See, this is why developers should keep things behind closed doors until they're nearer to release. Like in the good old days, before the internet and...um...electricity and stuff.
Slagging the demo off for not giving you a big enough playing area, when the developers have been good enough to actually produce a demo for Comic Con, seems to be missing the point entirely. This was in no way representative of the finished article, and just serves as a teaser more than anything. A three page preview on a pre alpha demo at a comics exhibition seems somewhat over the top. |

Champions Online == City of Heroes 2. Unless you get to build powers using the Hero/Champions system. RKA FTW!
DC Online sounds more interesting. As for Marvel... well, pester Microsoft to restart the project, then. At the moment Marvel Online is dead. And not in the "Death of Superman" sense either. |

Marvel's shit, i hate Peter Parker, i hate Fantastic 4, and i hate X-Men.
But Gambit's awesome. (Why wasn't he in the films?) DC's way better. |

There should only be one Superman, one Batman etc. But they shouldn't be glorified NPCs. They need to feel like real life characters - get the devs to take control of them, give them an agenda and a 'life' that the player might/can be able to interact with.

I don't get why one stick doesn't do flight steering in X and Y and the other does looking with a button for "go" and X for "go more". Or is that too basically sensible? When are you not going to want to either hover or be going as fast as possible?
