Sony is giving users their first glimpse of the upcoming DC Universe online
game.
The virtual world, which is being produced in tandem with DC Comics, allows
users to play online as either heroes or villains in a world that includes the
likes of Superman and Batman.
Sony's Online Entertainment branch is showcasing the game at the Comic-Con
convention in San Diego.
The company has not yet set a release date for the game, which is currently
slated to appear on the PS3 and PC.
Sony is promising comic fans an "unprecedented experience". The game boasts
such features as a physics-based combat system and the ability to use
environmental objects in combat.
Users will be given the option of playing as either a hero or a villain, and
special missions will be available in addition to interaction with other
players.
"The rich, storied world of DC Comics has never been available to players
like this before," said Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley.
"For the first time, gamers can actually open the door and step into the vast
world of DC Comics and choose their own fate. Who would not want to infiltrate
Batman's cave or fly over Metropolis as you speed toward a mission to help
Superman?"
