Superhero MMO City of Heroes has been previewed at EDBIS. Here's a glimpse of what they saw: The customization options for heroes are staggering. It’s highly unlikely that you’ll run across a hero who looks like you, since the number of possible appearance combinations with at least 3 differences between them is 2.24 times 10 to the 24th. It’s also highly unlikely that you’ll run across a hero who could be your long-lost twin when it comes to performance. Normal RPG statistics have been discarded, though Hit Points still measure your life force. There are five different archetypes: mutant, science, technology, natural and magic. Mutants were born with their powers, whereas “science” heroes underwent physical transformation through chemical or other means. Heroes who depend on technology augment themselves with gadgets, but the natural hero depends on her own human strength and wits to subvert evil. Finally, magical champions gain their might through mystical means. |
