E3 08: Debut trailer for DC Universe Online photo

Hey look! There's finally going to be a DC all-star game! Took them forever to get on that ball, eh? Sony Online debuted the first ever footage of DC Universe Online during the Sony Press Conference and it looks interesting. 
 
In DC Universe Online, you'll play with or against your favorite super heroes or super villains. So, you won't actually be playing as the iconic heroes or villains, just next to them. You will be able to create your own hero/villain and who's to say you won't be able to make a Superman clone ... or Spider-Man clone (OH SNAP). 
 
DC Universe Online will be coming out for the PlayStation 3 and PC and you can check out the trailer after the break. What are your first impressions?

I was really excited about this game until I realized SoE was involved. They really should get out of the MMO business.

Ya SOE has a rep, but I'll be keeping an eye on it.

Marvel was supposed to have a game like this come out for the 360 but it all went to pot. There goes my dream of shotting spider man as a punisher clone

I may be the only one looking at the comments who is excited about teaming up with Bizzarro, Solomn Grundy, The Joker, Hush... Or making a Flying Green Arrow type hero... CANT WAIT

Oh lawrd! Needs moar awkward models and horribly early-alpha animations. I know its just an early teaser, but were I them, I would not show that to the public yet.

Also, hate the Joker face they're showing here.

I'd like to see this one not suck, but between SOE and what this trailer 'proudly' shows, I wouldn't bet on this game being a big success.

Very early days. I'm thinking summer 2009. Read the thing in Edge about it. It's all touch n go at the moment but they are confident of making a good game out of it (taking their experience from the Star Wars Galaxies game thingy and improving on what they learned).

I want to know how customizable it is and what powers/equipment you can use, as well as how sandboxy the world is- if there are civilians/npc's walking around and I can be a supervillian whacking their heads off and blowing up buildings online, it sounds like fun- if it is just a team up with villians and heroes and have big battles it would be kinda lame

Anyone saying SOE should get out of the MMO business is just freaking stupid. Plain and simple. Everyone just attaches themselves to the mistake that was NGE without realizing that without SOE many games would never have gotten off the ground at all, let alone would we have the MMOs that we have today due to their innovation in the MMO industry. This doesn't mean that DC Online will be a good game because I've said this, but SOE is far from a bad MMO maker or company. Very far.

Now, as far as the trailer, I don't care for the graphics personally and I have no clue how the game would be played out since we don't know anything about character creation, growth, and general gameplay. Champions Online, which will be on the 360 and PC, currently looks much better at this moment because I love the cartoon graphic engine they're using for characters and they've actually started to share various bits of information that explains how they plan to allow characters to grow and interact with the game world.
