City of Heroes Interview
Maarten Goldstein
2
Gamespot has conducted an interview with Jack Emmert of Cryptic Studios, quizzing him on the upcoming superheroes MMORPG City of Heroes. There are questions about why they are making a MMORPG where you play a superhero, other inhabitants of the game world, the character creation process, superpowers, the ability to form an alliance with other players to fight crime and more. Thanks HomeLAN.

GS: Will players be able to re-create their favorite heroes, such as Superman or Spider-Man? If so, how do you plan to balance out such powerful characters?

JE: Every character starts off as fledgling hero. Take Spider-Man, for instance--in the early Steve Ditko issues, Spider-Man was agile and strong, but nowhere near the power level he exhibits today in Straczynski's Amazing Spider Man. Superman was quite powerful in Action Comics #1, but he couldn't just fly into space like today. We want our players to feel the excitement of growing their hero into one of Paragon's greatest champions.

The interview also comes with two new screenshots from the game.
