"As follow-up to this announcement - I am VERY curious as to the thoughts regarding the drastic change in direction of the Cryptic Studios announcement to develop Champions online MMORPG?! Even the screen shots have artwork DIRECTLY from City of Heroes! It is absolutely appalling to me that they would publish artwork, that is a blatant rip-off of CoH? I forget which magazine the article was in, PC Gamer maybe? But I was horrified as I read through the description - it's like they're re-inventing the CoH IP all over again? "
Man I just learned that last night as I just happened to go to the Cryptic site to see what was going down since the cancellation of MUO. I think it really dangerous because they are directly competing with their old/ former product. And they deliver on some stuff that the players of this game really want like full customization of powers.
That being said the game play doesn't look that appealing to me. The combat annimations look to me like a Superhero version of "Guild Wars". It is faster, more twitchy, but characters seem to do only a few attacks over and over and over again.
