The City of Titans team has been largely silent the last several months but have come out of hiding with a brand new trailer to give fans something to look forward to until the game becomes playable at the end of 2016. The video provides a look at some combat and how the mechanics of city roaming will be presented in City of Titans.

    It's supposed to be the spiritual successor to the original.

    I loved my days in Paragon City. I'd play this if it actually succeeds.

    I seriously just wish the Titans team and the Variance team just put their resources together and make the game that they want. Its not like they are making two different superhero games. Sheesh..

    Just see the big picture guys and join forces.

    Any mmo worth its salt should be like a good prostitute when it comes to its game world- One hell of a faker, and a damn good shaker!

    This is some very good stuff, I love how enemies react to the attacks, making them feel quite powerful. It seems like it still needs some fine tuning, but if they get this into the final version I'll be very happy!

    The game I am most in anticipation of in this genre is Heroes and Villains.  But it looks like CoT is going to release first, so I'll give it a go!

    Yep, I miss City of Heroes/Villains/Rogues a lot...


    The world is going to the dogs, which is just how I planned it!

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    As much as i have fond memories of CoH... I do not think this will have much of a chance to survive in the modern game space.

    This have been a good conversation

    Interesting, but it still has a loooonngg way to go. It's just too early in production. As Grelf said, it needs some fine tuning. Also - anyone getting a Hall of Justice vibe at 5:18?

    It's nice to see something new released! I'm liking the look of the cityscape, and the relative smoothness of the superspeed. I had a hard time watching the video though, due to the screen shaking effect. There's no way I could play the game with that turned on. The single-target punching looked good. The aoe has a long way to go.

    the video is deep development not even a pre alpha things to be a spiritual successor to coh /cov need alot of time to get to be proper , great amounts of progress have been made by the looks of things

    My thoughts too. It shows good potential. We'll just have to wait and see how it turns out.

    This is a Great idea. It would produce a better product and get done sooner, than later. IMO

    Hey. Yep, too much screen shake in the video. We're tweaking it based on feedback - we did fix the too much lens flare issue, at least. You know how it is. You get something working, you add a little too much, then you back it off.

    Valiance and City of Titans: We discussed it, but they're a pre-existing company with a pre-existing MMO structure, full time people and all. Their plan just didn't fit with us - they're doing a Marvel 2099 cybernetic future thing. We're doing a classic superhero routine. We appreciate each other, but we're just making very different games at the end of the day.

    We looked into that, but for many reasons it would have been impractical.

    I think it looks good for the stage it is currently in and I wish those devs the best of luck. I know when it comes out I will be taking a serious look at purchasing it.

    warc said it best. They're making separate games because they have different visions for a spiritual successor to CoH. The same is true of 'Heroes and Villains'.
    http://www.heroes-and-villains.com/phpb/home.php
    When a singular vision cannot be agreed upon you get differing groups all doing their own thing and the end result of each will have significant deviations. Some differences are desirable to some while not being so to others. An individual just has to pick the one that's right for them in the end.

    I wish these guys well.. .but it will take a lot to get COH I mean COT up and running and worthwhile to play.
  • Adjuvant1Adjuvant1 Member RarePosts: 2,100
    I, also, had trouble watching because of the camera vibration effect. It should be saved for rare occurrences, not every punch. Couldn't make it past 3 minutes for that effect.

    The background is decent. The model movement was just ok, acceptable.
  • BossalinieBossalinie Member UncommonPosts: 724
    Tone down the screen shake and you got something.... maybe have it on the finishing blow.
  • Po_ggPo_gg Member EpicPosts: 5,749
    Yep, +1 to all above, put at least a switch off checkbox in options for the screen shake, it makes it seem like a lame conzole kiddie title :wink:
    Speed looks a bit odd without the dynamics, this toggle on/off is more suited for the teleport.
    Lately I'm goofing around with a brawler in CO, so it wouldn't be fair to compare the melee, but the AoE seemed "off", as in hitting a much wider range than the animation indicated. The DoT is close to the melee punch, so I guess it will be an ultimate power?

    I suppose the skills are blacked out as they are not on the bar. Cannot tell much yet but I do so miss City of Heroes/Villains and this looks very bare though. I suppose like others said it is early days yet. 

    As for the camera shake please allow us an option to turn it off. Many of us suffer from bad headaches and would appreciate the option of turning it off.
