Well, after a couple of years SOE Austin has come out clean about it's first and foremost project called DC Universe Online, which is supposed to give you the ability to interact and affect the DC Universe as being able to play as a supehero or supervillian, and be able to join "Leagues" or "Legions" depending on your side.

I found some videos on youtube that might be able to give some insight on what's going on.

Might be interesting how it plays out. MMOPBAG is not the official genre but it's been known to be a Massively Multiplayer Online Physics-Based Action Game since it uses the Unreal Engine 3.

Game Development....the possibilities

Something is fishy about that. I can't put my finger on it, but it feels like a hoax? I mean come on... the graphics are just barely a step up from N64, the narrators voice is... cheesy and I don't know. I think it's BS. I've never even heard of SOE either. Who are they?

SOE is a registered company name, Sony Online Entertainment.

Just saw the trailer, it looks like a better executed version of City of Heroes\Villains.

SOE = No

They are terrible, all of them. The customer service side is especially bad. After playing a large amount of their online games I can happily tell them to shove off.

The city graphics do look very underwhelming. I hope they won't charge a monthly fee, or this will bomb. I might even get it if it doesn't take up a massive amount of space and the online play is free - it looks like a good candidate for some EEE PC gaming.

Have to agree, if its free. I'm fine with it. If its not, they can walk to... a warm place with a red dude in charge... Anyway, it looks interesting though, the way it works. But the graphics need a bit more polish...

Yes.. a hoax the showed at E3 and has coverage on many major game sites... a very EXPENSIVE hoax then.

It's for the computer. Not sure about anything else. And you can assume it sucks just by hearing the name.

I didn't really call it a hoax, I was just getting the feeling you get before a hoax... I guess it's more like I was waiting for the punchline and never got it... lol
