Swing, Baby!

Check out this tasty new Champions Online video.

I have to say, I'm most excited about the art direction in this game. As Tivy would say, "I'm a graphics snob." I like to think of it as an essential element to fantasy immersion. Anyway, the cel-shading and comic book style is appealing to thine eyes. Oh and being able to create your own nemesis is ultra cool. So many possibilities for nemeses...

    Hmm - It seems very City of Heroes-ish so far. As a girl with several toons in COH (who made it past level 2 before giving up), I'm not seeing anything I haven't already seen there or in Spiderman for PS3. The only exception is the cartoony type drawing of the backgrounds.

    I dunno, graphically it looks different to me - check out some of the screens. Of course, I only played CoH for approximately 8 hours. You're right, gameplay is probably similar, as the cannon of MMOs will not be changed by this game.

    However, for those of us that never got into CoH this might hold a little something extra. Worth a try.

    Oh yeah - I know what I keep meaning to mention - there's an entire story arc in CoH where you go against your own precise build and it's called the Nemesis arc (I think. Something with Nemesis anyway). I guess that's why this game isn't perking my interest that much yet. Sorry I'm such a grump-ola.

    So rude, Tivy. Can't you be happy for me? I'm gonna make the sexiest superhero imaginable!

    Of course I can be happy for you, silly! I'm just saying that what I've seen so far is a "been there, done that" for me. (Note: I have not bought the T-shirt from CoH, but I did get my hubby from it...)

    I'll try it, if only to see if it could be a game we all can enjoy. I really want us all back in the same game again. Plus, you haven't actually asked me to try anything yet, whereas Smelty and I have asked you to try lots of things. Since you're excited for it, that's good enough for me. Go sexify your self!
