Champions Online

[Llew]

This is about Champions Online, a superhero MMORPG with real-tiome fighting, customizable powers and power animations, a complex character creator and more. The character creator is used to create your hero, and you also get to design your hero's archenemy, including his powers. The best part is that while you do chose an archtype, no power is restricted to any one archtype. The way the archtypes work is depending on your archtype, certain powers cost more or less. Go to www.champions-online.com to see more.

I used to play the PnP version of Champions years ago. Actually, Champions was the very first RPG I ever played.

While I'm thrilled that the game looks to be on track, I'm having a slight issue with the graphics. The latest screenshots make the heroes look like they belonged in Pixar's "The Incredibles". I'm truly hoping they're not going the way of WoW-inspired avatars. One of the main factors for me in subscribing to a MMO is how real the avatars look in the game. It's because of this I'm so looking forward to AoC.

When Champions Online was announced my original plan was to give AoC a rest and try CO for a while. Now I'm more of the feeling that if CO continues with their current graphics choice, I may just try a demo instead.

One thing i disliked about CoX was its "class"system.
CO looks to become a nice open game.

as for grapics., I do love realistic more then cartoonic but i can lie whit it in a super hero game. its base lies in comics
