DC Universe Online?

Is anyone else excited about this game? I know I am. I love MMORPGs. Also looking forward to FF14. I was wondering though how the gameplay for an mmorpg would translate to a console? I used to play WOW a lot and the keyboard mouse combo was perfect......do you think it would translate well to a console? Are there any gameplay footage of DC Universe online running on the PS3?

I'm excited, for both this and FFXIV. You can hook up a keyboard to play both on the PS3 if you wish. You could probably find Video's at some older E3's of PS3 footage.

I am but I doubt ill play it. I don't feel comfortable paying $60 for the game then 15 a months. I mean PC owners can get the client free or pay 40ish bucks.Fightingfan

Wait you have to pay a monthly fee for Dc Universe online? I knew FF14 we were going to pay but I thought DCUO was free to play on PS3? What changed? I could have sworn I read somewhere that it was free to pay.

I'm getting so much mixed answers on the net. Some say you have to pay 15 a month, some say its free, some say its free with playstation plus. Seems like there is no real answer to the pricing. I was really looking forward to this but not at it's monthly fee. When FF14 comes out i'll definately be playing that game regardless of fee or not. \

I don't think developers notice that typical MMO fee's will translate well to consoles. Certain games I know I'll gladly pay the fee for like FF14 but not the rest of them. They should create a new model for console MMO if they want it to flourish. I think DCUO will flop on the PS3 because from what i've been reading alot of people are turned off by the monthly fee.

Oh well guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

It's definitely $14.99/month. I heard rumors of a PSPlus deal, but i don't think that was ever confirmed. I wouldn't expect that though. Giving you $180 of monthly game access for free with a $50/year discount program is completely ridiculous. I'd love that, but I might laugh for a while if they make that happen.

Yeah that just dosen't make sense to me either. Right now that $50 PSN Plus goes to sony but if they include the DCUO monthly fee into that then i'd assume that SOE would want a cut of that $50 no?

What?! you have to pay, well that sucks

i was gonna get this game but now im not im not paying 15 bucks amonth for any game

The game is set to launch in under a months time. Don't you think it would be about time that they release information on if the game is going to be Free to play or subscription based? What the heck are they waiting for launch day to catch people off guard with the fine print on the back of the case stating that a monthly fee is required?

Actually, come to think of it, the $14.99 p/m fee isn't that bad. A very small price indeed for not having to listen to annoying A.D.D-esque preteen players that I doubt could even afford a single month. Yeah, good luck getting mommy and daddy to fork over the cash!

I'll pay it if the gameplay is good but will need to see some vids of it in action firstSteJo6sic6

I was actually waiting for FF14 to come out. Was gonna pay the fee regardless. However after looking at the latest videos of FF14, it looks so boring. I can't see myself messing around the market place for hours just out of need. The leveling seems even more boring. Now I might just shell out for DCUO and skip FF14 altogether. Too bad they delayed DCUO.
