    Hey, I've been checking up on Champions Online (Cryptic's new MMO) on a fairly regular basis. Moments ago, I visited www.champions-online.com and I found Part One of G4TV's X-Play interview with Cryptic's Bill Roper. I played City of Heroes for a little while before I quit (I have no idea why I did that) and I loved the game. The MMO gamer in me has been talking and I'm starting to listen. Stylized visuals, super powers, and it will be available on the Xbox 360! In fact, the developers often play the PC version with the Xbox 360 gamepad, I'm really pumped for this. The two versions will also have cross-platform servers. Awesome? Yes! Anyway, here you go!:

      


    Edit: The embed code is kind of funky, right now. If the picture is blank or darkened, click on what should be the video a few times and the video pops back. Try that, if not you can visit the website through the link I posted and navigate to X-Play with the links available on the website. Sorry for the inconvenience, hopefully the video works for you guys. It's well worth watching.

    It's really looking good so far and I can't wait to play it...I really like the fact that you get to create your own personal nemesis too. I also think this might be the first MMO that has a real chance at succeeding on a console.

    This is great.  I can't wait for Champions, I just hope the final product is worth the money.  So far it's looking great though.

    I wonder how the console controls will fare.

    Considering that the developers use the gamepad even when playing the PC version, I'd say the controls are coming along nicely.
