It looks pretty good - but the tone is a bit too kiddy for me.

I was as excited about this game. Not so much anymore.
It looks kinda plain and lonely.
Also I don't think creating your Nemesis is a good idea. It would be much better if it gets created for you after analyzing the way you play. That way they can create something that forces you to think outside the box or in a different way in which you have been playing so far.

The only MMO I'm interested in is Star Wars: The Old Republic.

So, do you play as your own nemisis, or do you create and then fight him? I don't understand.

it really does look lonely Brainwins, it just seems empty and dull, maybe they've not got full servers to show a demonstration of it that represents how it's going to pan out, at least I hope that's it.

@Ineedaname Watching it a few more times I guess it also has to do with the setting of the trailer. It looks like everything happens in the same (?) roof. And it´s a pretty plain one. Also the city has no cars, no people, no planes.
I still don´t get my head around designing your own Nemesis. I would like to hear the design idea behind this.

They really confuse people... i asked a couple of friends what they thought about the game, and they said they didn't get the whole "make your nemesis" thing :S

Man, what a bunch of losers in the comment section this time. Not one goddamn positive thing to say about the game!

The game LOOKS like a comic book. It looks better than COH.

The game uses a real Pen & Paper game to create the stats/storylines, the Champions or Heroes RPG.

I take it from all the ignorance in the comment section that nobody actually reads comic books!  Because if you read a comic book, such as X-men, you would know that their Arch-enemy, Magneto, resurfaces to battle them again & again & again.  Superman has Lex Luthor. Batman: the Joker. Fantastic Four/Dr. Doom.  GI Joe/Cobra. Avengers/Ultron.  Judge Dredd/PJ Maybe.  And on & on.

So what this means is that in addition to creating your own comic book look & feel in the game, you are creating the arch-enemy boss that will frequently appear in the end battles.  The storylines will be tied to your nemesis.  Eg, X-men are battling the Brotherhood of Evil to foil a plot & after several issues, it turns out that Magneto (the nemesis) was pulling the strings.  I imagine there will be other villains you can create later.

It looks better than CoH/V btw.  I'm looking forward to playing it.  It's not going to fail you idiots.
