I'm torn between squealing delight that we again have something major and attractive to look forward too and weeping frustration that it is once again many months away. I'm going to have to forget about this til nearer the time for the sake of my nerves.

I think that the artwork to that is top dollar. I hope there are new characters involved in which to fight as well as see as a contact/ally. It's a really good idea as I do have characters that have run out of content aside from MA and yes I eat content and claim most contacts. Changing to the otherside can unlock more.

It'll no doubt be a third 'part' of the single executable (with CoH and CoV being the first 2 parts) with the necessary data/program updates being installed on your machine but unavailable to you unless you buy the GR version (or more precisely unlock the GR part on your account).
Those not getting the GR version will still have the data/program patched.
So if CoX works for the Mac then this will too.
Ok - they haven't confirmed that but they have stated that you need CoH or CoV to use GR. You really think they're doing an entirely new excutable/data installation for something that isn't even standalone??

Thats what you think, i would guess this will come out the same time as DC as champions will be out in july from what i was reading so unless they want to rush this and mess it up i bet it will be winter as i would think DC would be more of a problem than champions as champions is to much like cox where as DC from what i have seen looks like its going to be very good.
On the whole this looks like it could be good and is something i have been asking for a paid expansion lets just hope its not rushed and brings back some wow factor to cox.

Champions is NOTHING like CoH, except that it's based in a superhero universe and that both games were originally developed by Cryptic. That's where the similarities stay.

On topic.. just one question. Is Going Rogue going to be a boxed release, and if it is, is i14 still going to have a boxed release as well?
No boxed releases for years, then two come together

I'm pretty sure it'll be a box - if a normal Issue like I14 can have a box, then an actual expansion is sure to have one.

I14's only getting/got a boxed release in the US, but the consensus (AFAIK just amongst forumites - trust it as you will) is that GR will be a box release everywhere.

Maybe even a CE?
@Golden Girl

So I understand.. but given the lack of boxed releases since CoV (except GvE) isn't having pretty much one after the other a little odd? I'd have thought given the timing of GR and it's hugeness in terms of development milestones, they'd have shelved the i14 one - although I realise one could argue it's almost as huge from the milestone PoV.
Perhaps it's a concerted effort on the part of the marketing department to raise CoXs profile in the shops - more "bums on seats" as it were?

Not sure about odd, but it's certainly a change. That may be a reflection of NCSoft's increased financial commitment to things though, both in terms of wanting to give the game a higher profile, as you say, and because the increased dev team size means significant new content actually worthy of a box set is ready more often.
Yep this is the response to the new stuff.
