Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



Before today, I really didn't know much about Sony Online Entertainment's MMO, DC Universe Online. But then it sent me a MySpace friend request and ... wait, what the hell? Why do games have their own MySpace pages? Is that like when people make pages for their cat? 

In any event, there it is. And like everyone else on MySpace, it has a lot of pictures of itself. Ooooh, first screens from DC Universe Online! It's looking pretty decent, and very heavy on the Batman universe -- Robin, Mr. Freeze, the Joker. It looks like the whole DC crew will be on board to fight alongside (and against) an online world populated by ... YOU!

Yeah, OK. I'm still a bit creeped out that a game has its own MySpace page. To make matters worse, I noticed that the Melvins are premiering their new album on MySpace, too. What's this world coming to? Perhaps I will dive in DC Universe Online just to get away from it all.

Thankfully, that error message came up when I tried to access the Myspace page posted in the article.

I almost started to walk into the horrors of social networking for a second there!

I don't think a trailer has ever made me less excited for a more awesome-sounding game.

I was really looking forward to the Marvel mmo, but seeing as how it's dead and I now have a PS3 I may give this a go, though I'm really not a DC guy... The Marvel one is dead still, right?

The best part will be in a few months, when they announce that everyone can be Superman, and turn the game into an FPS.

Now SOE is going to butcher this great franchise just like they did to star wars with Galaxies.

@c0dek - Thank you for the SWG reference. I will always remember SOE as the company who ruined my favorite MMO.

What's worse than having spam on your blogs? Having spam on your blogs for something as sad as WoW gold farming.

You know, it could be good. But we all know it's just going to be a WoW clone with superheroes.

They are saving the big heroes for later. In the meantime, we have the "hot chicks" and Bizarro to lure us in.

great a very short trailer of artwork...pisses me off because Jim Lee finished all his stuff off at least a year ago and finally got back to what he was supposed to be doing: the All Star Batman series that was delayed for 2 years.

Are those real screenshots for the MMO cause if so I'm pretty amazed, have you seen Cryptic's Champions MMO. Major league toned down in the graphics, DC is hot with searing flesh graphics, from what little I can see.

Makes you wonder why CO is so underpar *cough* Xbox *cough*.

Yaaaawn. Art is always nice but for a DC thing it's very familiar. How is this supposed to get me excited for the game?
