I do indeed. All I was saying was I wonder if they will tell people when they are stepping up the level in which they give out beta codes? I know they will over time though.

Anyway, interested to see how the game turns out. Will just a DC world be a little repetitive over time?

I found the site where I read the SDCC '10 panel stuff finally.

Part ONE.

Part TWO.

And here is page talking about how you can play as one of the iconic characters. Batman is apparently pre-order bonus only. Do I smell potential micro-transactions..?

Also mentions:

We're jumping into beta next week

Who knows how large a pool they are starting with, but this was posted last week, July 26th. My guess is if they are moving past interanl testers, they are starting with close friends and colleagues so not much news for general public yet.

This looks like a fun game. Never played a MMO before - not too into the paying per month thing, but it might be worth a try.

Yeah, they said the beta would start this week. Now I understand where krakrabbit is coming from.

Hmm, am I the only one that thinks the animation and gameplay look downright laughable? I played CoH/CoV for +3 years and it seems this game won't even compare to that level of MMO. Granted, it's a console MMO and CoH/CoV is more established now, but those screenshots and gameplay videos look awful for a current generation system. Sony is going to do what they can to fool a lot of people in getting involved with this mess and I'm sure the overall experience will be mediocre at best.

Laughable, very much so! But also very all old builds were shown too. Not sure how much better they are now but shouldn't judge completely on what was shown so far. Nothing wrong with being hesitant though.

True. I'm like most. If I don't happen to get a Beta code, I think I'll pass and pick it up on Goozex, try it out for a month then decide. I don't think the build will change dramatically, but I'm pretty sure the actual gameplay will. The developers are taking a tremendous gamble pushing this out of the gate first. I would have preferred they waited for another console MMO to release, see what works and don't work and modify this game. They are "banking" too hard on fanboy loyalty to move this thing.

Call me skeptical, but I've been burned too many times on too many Superhero games in the past couple of years to leap into a $75 experience (game + 1 month) even if it's an MMO.

I'm honestly kind of hoping this will blow just because my fiance is a ginormous dc fan and will completely take over the TV to play it. I'm just glad we'll still be on our honeymoon when it hits so the reviews will be out and if they suck I can justify not getting it.

Here is a new trailer.

Gamescon 2010 Trailer.

Has anyone gotten the beta yet?
I really want to try it out. If it sucks, I guess I'm heading to FFXIV instead (to play with my clan)

New lengthy preview HERE. Also has a video interview with a dev where he discuses one of the first starter episodes.

anyone get into the beta? I havent heard any news on this, especially since it is coming out in less than 2 months.

Video interview he mentions that they are expanding their internal testing still. Comiccon beta code holders are still waiting but should be accepted first.

Anyone think the devs are just messing with us to see how long we'll wait?

Driving from up from San Diego I saw a HUGE billboard for DC Universe Online and it was also sponsored by Gunnar's Optiks.

Still want to see how this game will pan out.

Was it this one?



I smell sponsored micro-transactions...

Yup thats the one. Couldn't take a pick of it since I was on the freeway, but it seems like that SOE seems confident in their game.

About a month left before launch and still no beta... Looking like a "lets ship it and fix it later" type thing going on here again.

Also a new dev interview HERE.

Added NY Comic Con info in the 1st post, happening next week. If it is like the previous convention, you might be able to get a beta code (which I don't think is active yet) if you attend.

Also new links to some preview info here too -

Lol the beta hasn't come out yet. Probably because it'll be really good or it's a massive flop. I'd put my money on the flop.
