ConWatch: DC Universe Online Details at Comic-Con

Jul. 23 8:44 AM by Mandifesto

Comic-Con began this year with a bang, and the first game announcements are rolling in. Among them is SOE's DC Universe Online, unveiled by Jim Lee, comic legend and uber EQ Paladin. Developed by SOE Austin will feature stories and themes from DC's comics, and is considered a combo of MMO and console action game. Knowing how much I enjoyed playing my scrapper in City of Heroes, I am super eager to find out more about how this game will improve on the Super Hero MMO concept.

The current list of features include:

  • * Based on the distinctive, acclaimed artwork and designs of comic book legend Jim Lee.
  • * Iconic DC Comic settings and characters, from Gotham City to Arkham Asylum, Batman to Blue Beetle.
  • * Players can enter a persistent DC Universe and fight alongside their favorite heroes and villains to play their own adventure in the mythology of these legendary characters and locales.
  • * DCUO will be an online world that stays true to the DC Comics property and allows players to feel and act like super heroes or villains.
  • * Physics-based fighting turns vehicles, streetlights and other players into weapons, resulting in dynamic combat scenarios that are different every time.
  • * DCUO is being developed by Sony Online Entertainment in collaboration with top talent at DC Comics and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
  • Screenies after the jump
