Signed up for PS3 beta, hopefully I get in so I can take it for a hoon.

the trailer is one of the coolest pieces of comic media I've ever seen. I so wish they would make a whole movie like this
as for a mmorpg? no thanks

its like Star Wars old republic, amazing cgi trailers, bland grindy bollocks gameplay.
sorry for the hate, but it reminds me of the amazing cover art on atari 2600 games. bit of false advertising I think

[stereomonkey]

Awww, I like Old republic

Will wait to see how the game turns out.

[CrazyMobius]

Oh yeah I might get this just for the Create a Character aspect.

I'm assuming you'll get the PS3 version? You know there's a monthly subscription ay. It's $14.95 a month in the US I think so I'm guessing at least $25 a month here.

So somehow you've managed to play both TOR and DCU before beta phase? Please hook me up with your connections.

With Sony online having developed both Free Realms and EQ I'm pretty interested to see how this shit turns out, they probably wont have any sort of a decent competitive PvP aspect so I doubt I'm going to play lol. In regards to TOR it's probably not going to be very grindey at all. They're almost developing it as a single player game you need to pay a sub for..... lol.

what I meant was, these game have epic trailers, but from what I've seen of the gameplay its kinda misleading.
I mean if mmorpg's are you thing, then all good. I just cant  see the the attraction, (unless I'm underating having a second job you have to pay for)

anyway I'll stop trolling
I would of though City of Heroes had this market sussed? seems like DC will be very similar?

Wah? Ongoing money...?

[geneterror]

Yeah ongoing costs...

I don't know why people complain about this (not aimed at you Simon) but the developers of MMO's have to cover a lot of bills in regards to the upkeep of a persistant virtual world including server/bandwidth costs etc. I don't know why people are surprised about the ongoing cost. It's why I will skip this unless some of you guys pick it up. I'm waiting for FF14

[HoneyBadger]

Yeah, it's a lot of money. WoW has 11mil overheads each year =/

[Simulacrum]

Video looks sick, be interested to see how gameplay is.

Why not just have advertising before the game starts I say?

[HoneyBadger]

Tried that with dekaron. Didn't work so well. It's not worth keeping servers up 24/7 with routine servicing and new developers for only like $80.

[CrazyMobius]

Fair enough.
