New Champions Online Trailer Comes Out Swinging

After seeing this I'm glad these guys aren't making a Marvel MMO anymore.

I thought this was Champions Online? It looks like City of Heroes. ZZZZZZZZZZZZ

That looked incredibly stilted, to the point it almost seemed turn based like KOTOR or something.

Ok, I think publishers/devs need to really do a close analysis of what gamers want in an MMO. To me, being a veteran MMO-gamer and guild leader for over 10 years (I started with The Realm from Sierra!) the first thing that gamers REALLY care about is gameplay.

Gameplay is king. No matter how flashy spells get, no matter how many big cities or dungeons we get, no matter how glorious our new badass +10 sword is, we care about HOW we interact and use them.

While I must admit I haven't followed up on Champions Online too much, I can say that gameplay-wise, many MMOs have seriously failed. AoC has extreme potential but Funcom has failed to deliver and has left a sour taste in a lot of players' mouths. Warhammer beta is a huge failure. I am extremely sad that one of my favorite genres has nothing to show me.

WoW's gameplay is pretty much the epitome of what you'll get from the traditional MMORPG. What I mean from traditional is the control of a character that takes on the self-fulfilled heroic journey, accomplishing quests and tasks to not only level but gain skills and items. I mean, you can't really beat WoW by aiming to do the same. Blizzard is the giant corp. that takes what's done right and builds a manufacturing plant that can reproduce the same thing with the best quality and efficiency.

So, please, if you're alpha/beta-testing an mmo and you REALLY don't like the gameplay. SPEAK UP. Mythic's done a pretty good job listening to us testers and trying to salvage what they can. Although the roots haven't changed much, a LOT of the interaction between players and players AND players and A.I. has changed.

wow that is the worst trailer for an MMO that ive ever seen

I thought someone told me this was actually going to be more action-focused? This looks like a prettier City of Heroes/Villains. :(

Really? This is what the have come up with for their next MMO?

As far as what is shown, this looks absolutely no different then CoH/CoV. Almost looks like they just changed the models and slapped it on top of the same animations, etc. I am so tired of the same ol' "mobs stand next to you, waiting to get hit" design. Looks stupid.

Can noone make something better? Bleh.

Who knows, maybe the quest line and instancing/dungeons will be awesome. So far the gameplay looks eye catching but loses interest fast. I'm not going to hate on the game immediately, I'll give it a fair shot when it gets released.

Actually, I think that CoH looks better than this, sad to say. Maybe nicer character models, but the gameplay doesn't look incredibly exciting.

boring. It's all the same. Every single MMORPG is the exact same. Dull dull dull dull dull dull.

...sorry I'm PMSing right now.

I hope that isn't the final lighting because it's absolutely dreadful. Was that part with the aztec looking pyramid and the statues supposed to be outside in the daylight?

Oh you mean swinging of fists. I was hoping for swinging from ropes or webs. :(

I hope the reused animation assets from CoH/CoV are placeholders
