For the past two years at Comic-Con, Sony has teased us with news & videos on the upcoming DC Universe Online, which will finally get released this November 2010. Some of the reports on game play are mixed, saying the action was too repetitive and not a lot of fun. It is definitely a big challenge to pull off a super-hero game, but this trailer is superb.
This little 6 minute movie will delight any hardcore DC fanatic. You’ve got the Justice League up against a squad of super-villains for an apocalyptic showdown. Superman and the other characters are rendered with some bits of Jim Lee’s style; the best touch comes from Superman’s eyes blazing red with his heat vision. Batman wears an armor that looks like a Lee design as well. There’s a Terminator vs Wonder Woman skirmish that makes you want to see a longer version, and a Black Adam vs (Kyle Rayner) Green Lantern.
No idea what this means to the actual game, but I think the trailer proves something. A computer animated super-hero film or TV show, played straight in the DC Universe has the potential to be very exciting and true to the source material.
Did anyone else but me see a nod to All Star Superman here—when Clark emerges from the sun? Nuff Said!
