The casting seems spot on, though I don't really agree with Kyle MacLaughlin as Supe's voice - but that's just me.

I want to see that.....

By the hair on Odin's... erm... chin! The forums are a fecking tidalwave of activity with everyone trying to get seen by the devs. Here's some stuff to help sort it out:

Champs Dev Tracker thingy

Consolidated posts that devs should read thread thingy

Anyone seen the spread in last months Game Informer about Champions? I've been meaning to post a summary of the article but been crazy busy the past month.

Just FYI since the dx10 thing came up in the DoW2 post - the devs are saying they're building Champs for dx9 with dx10 toggle being a future option.

I have asked both previous times, as have MANY of us: DX9, DX10 or options for both? Hoping for the latter, of course. (DaBruuzer)

Bruce (CTO): Definitely dx9. Eventually we'll have specific support for dx10, but it might not be until after launch.

Cryptic Lead Character Artist sez:

"There will definitely be many more costume options than CoH had on release, much much more.

Also, our tech is allowing us to do more things, have more options than we ever had before.

You really will be amazed at what the character creator can create. I am astounded half the time by seeing the new combinations, not to mention all the new parts going in weekly.

I'll just clear up a few of the basic questions I have been seeing.

- You can scale your character in real time from skinny 3 foot tall runt, to beefy hulking 10 foot tall muscle man. Then scale the arms to hang down to his knees.

- You can set the muscle tone of your character. Old school 'thick' guy or 'beefy new aged 500 muscles on a forearm ripped' guy.

- You can set the stance of your character. If you want to run on all fours, feel free. If you want to stand around brooding while your buddy stands around stoic, feel free.

- If I recall, CoH had roughly 10 body parts you could change, depending on the category you choose, you can change up to 16, not to mention the head, which has many many more.

- There are a multitude of beast heads to choose from, demons to vultures.

- Hands? Do you like hand options? How about 2 fingers, 3 fingers, claws, skeletal, etc."

*crap I can't think of anything that isn't very nasty sounding to comment about this.

Actually if you watch http://www.massively.com/ they have been posting screenshots, interviews, news, and all kinds of stuff on this as well as for DC online.

I think they even have a section for it so you can read all the past articles

It's looking like mid-August for Open Beta, and September 1 for the release date.

Rhen · **Posted:** Sat Jul 25, 2009 10:05 am

hrm, this game looks like city of heroes all over again, the only thing worth while to do IMO is character creation, otherwise, same kind boring content. I'll wait for the agency, or global agenda, kthnx :lol:
