DC Universe Online gets November release date photo

In development for what seems like forever, Sony Online Entertainment is finally putting a date on DC Universe Online: November 2010.

Okay, so maybe it's not as specific as you'd want it to be, but at least now you know what to ask for when it comes to holiday wish lists, I suppose. Not being a huge MMO guy myself, I definitely liked what I played a few weeks back... on both the PC and the PlayStation 3. While the PC version ran at a much higher resolution, it felt really obvious that the game was designed for a PS3 controller, with actions mapped to all of the buttons nicely. Overall, the game felt more like an action-brawler than a traditional MMO... which sits well with me.

Dale's got a full preview of DC Universe Online coming up later today, so keep your eyes peeled.

Sweeeet. Being that I'm a big Batman DC fan I might actually get this.

YES ! It's about damn time they got this out. If it had no monthly fee (which I'm hoping for), I'd be all over it like Elvis on a pound of bacon

Whoa. I had totally forgotten about this. Any update on whether or not it'll have monthly fees?

Its SOE so chances are 99.9999999% they will have it added to the SOE subscriptions based format

I totally forgot about this game. I can't say I'm that interested, but I never was. Seeing it in action might change my mind.

Man this is gonna be awesome......and probably a major reason for a PSN+. If not probably the only game Sony'll charge for online.

My character is going to be called the Writer. He's a criminal mastermind who always leaves written notes at the scenes of his crimes. When the police find the notes they say things like "This not was written. This looks like the work of the Writer."

The Writer also has Pen Pals all over the world who act as his henchmen when he's committing crimes in various locations around the globe. Also, he has cool catchphrases that he says to super heroes like "The next thing I write is going to be your obituary."

@Shael: The Sentry was cool when he debuted but by the end of Siege the character was ruined. Actually, The Sentry never should have joined the proper MU. Also, The Sentry wanted to die if you need a good explanation as to how Thor managed to kill him. Aside from the fact that Thor is way better than The Sentry.

On topic: I'm a huge DC fan but I'll probably pass on this.

@ Shael ,

"DC still sucks when compared to Marvel though...I mean, Mr Terrific? Who the hell let that design pass? "

Eh, both Marvel and DC have their share of awful characters. I would say that Marvel has more interesting ones in my mind, so that I can agree with.. but the numbers of awful character are pretty equal. For every DC person that sucks, I can name a Marvel one that sucks just as bad.

Also, I would hate to have to pick a release date for this game. November is a bad idea because of the obvious reason that it's the holidays and all kinds of big blockbuster games are going to be released at the same time.

But if you wait until spring of '11 then you have to compete with SW:TOR.

between a rock and a hard place.

BATMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright while I am pretty excited becoming a member of the Batman family I'm still going to have to do the ol try before you buy with this. Love the concept, but vids of gameplay are still a little iffy looking.

@Shael are you serious. Marvel Zombies. Worst idea ever.

Not a comic nerd, couldn't tell you the difference between Marvel and DC. My buddy lent me a whole set of comic books, The Preacher? Something like that about a year ago and I haven't even opened the first one yet.


this game looks a bit meh, I might check it out, if it gets a demo.
