Champions Online Gameplay Trailer Seeks No Ordinary MMO Players

This new trailer for Champions Online says it's not looking for ordinary heroes, but is there such a thing as an ordinary MMO player? I ask this as someone that has played more than his share.

In any case, if you're not sure whether to spend an inordinate $200 on a lifetime subscription to the superhero MMO, this trailer probably isn't enough to help you decide. But it may spark your interest enough to give the August 17 open beta a chance.

Suit up on September 1 for the PC edition of Champions. The Xbox 360 version arrives later on this year.

Can someone explain to me how you get your beta key on fileplanet tomorrow? Do you have to have a paid fileplanet account or is a free one good enough?

wait? you mean there are people who are actually going to pay $200.00 for a title? a game that hasn't even hit public beta? with a graphics engine a nintendo DS can do better?

i had no idea people were this stupid. i'm gonna start my own beta too. so visit www.ujustgotpwnd.com and send me $59.99 for early access to my beta website. no one has seen it, neither have i so im definetely not established. but you get a lifetime subscription if you send me $59.00. it will be great i promise.

Could someone do me a favor and let me know how many times World of Warcraft has released a major content update patch in the same week a potential competitor had an open beta start or outright release date? I will still play the beta, having pre-ordered the game, but I gotta tell you, patch 3.2 of WoW has kind of pushed back my free time. Gotta start running the Argent Crusade instances, after all...

can someone describe the combat system? The biggest appeal of this game to me is that its City of Heroes with less stagnant MMO combat. The combat is to be more interactive than just selecting character abilities from an action bar. Or am I dreaming?

That's strange, because this is a completely normal MMO that bring absolutely nothing new to the table. Beta has gone no where in the last 6 months. Game is in no way ready for a september release.
