Galaxy City Destroyed????

Bravo!

I'm hoping his model will get a revamp too - his shades need to be reflective now

I hear they're also planning for voice acting. Sammy L Jackson will be voicing BAB's new dialogue, though it will result in the ESRB age rating to go from T to M.*
*M is for Manly

On another note: I am saddened they decided to just trash Galaxy City completely and use it for a new Tutorial Zone... I mean I have characters that live there in their RP life.

Will he express his annoyance at all these Shivans in his zone?

And life sometimes throws bad things at you

It actually made more sense and was a little less clever before Ironik's post was modified.



.

Isn't this just a chance to role play change in the character's life? Change is meat for stories isn't it?

And nothing says change quite like being hit by a meteorite - just ask the dinosaurs

Defender helps. I usually stand and let him shoot at the Qularr

LOL

I still haven't collected my thoughts properly on the information we've been given thus far (my morning has only just started). One thing that I did think of, though, is that if GC and Praetoria are going to be the two starting zones (for Primal and Praetorians respectively), it gives those people who want to use traditionally villain a/t no reason at all to go to the Rogue Isles, making the redside population lower than it already is.

Having said that, it gives me no reason to ever go to Paragon City, which fills me with joy (not that I have a lot of new character concepts and/or time to play the game lately).

Edit - should clarify that if it's going to work the way I think it is (that is, that GC will be the 'Primal' starting point and then a 'tour' will be undertaken, the destination city depending on the choice the individual makes), then I won't have to go to Paragon City after this intro is done and the choice is made to go villain (resulting in the 'tour' mentioned in the official write-up). Technically, if this is going to work like I think it is, all Primals will have to go to Paragon initially (but I'm hoping this will be a relatively quick mission or arc and the option will be given to go blue or red without too much elaborate mechanic).

If the screenshots are anything to go by, the new GC will be a shiny destroyed, rather than the ugly destroyed of places like Boomtown.

That's me, always saying something that gets me into trouble and making others look good by comparison.

I imagine that folks will still have the option of a Praetorian start [if you have GR].

This, however, will open up folks to playing whatever [non-epic] archetype they want on whichever side they want without dealing with side-changing.

Corrected.

Eh, true. Ultimately, I'm just gonna miss Gemini Park.

Well, you can also go to the Echoes of Gemini Park. At least if I understand what they mean by the Ouro gate.

My first character, and only 50, is a born-and-raised Galaxy City boy. This is gonna make Johnny Lightning sad...then angry.

Then he's going to become Parallax.

Oh carp...

QFT! I'm still trying to get over the whole "DC Comics non-reboot/reboot" myself. Oy...

That's right, DC Comics has made this nice Catholic boy Jewish. My mom will be so proud.

You've been retconned?
