Would u play a remastered CoH?

If NCSoft were to remaster City of Heroes wold u play? If yes, would u rather F2P or Sub and why. 
Myself I would definitely play it, even if it were the exact same game with better graphics. I would prefer the subscription model cuz I don't like cash shops and most F2P games don't hold my interest.

    A remastered CoH, definitely, i'd prefer the sub option but i'd probably play it if it was B2P/F2P too.
    CoH may not have been as 'big' a game as WoW was, but it was certainly just as iconic.

    Call me a purist or old-fashioned, but it's a Nope for me. These things never go well, just look at the EE versions of Baldur's Gate or Icewind, or the remastered Grim Fandango... (though I admit the Tentacles remake was fairly cool)

    I'd much more prefer the original CoH, back online and running. Until then, CO is a nice "on-the-side" MMO for me :wink:

    I would take the original CoH over a remastered one.

    I honestly thought the game-play was rather weak in COH. Considering that, nope.

    It had nice character options from creation to load-out. Yet the mission structure as well as game-world were just too damn repetitive for me.

    I miss CoH but I think it'd be difficult to re-create the atmosphere and friendly nature of the game. It had a great community (at least while it was subscription based but that's a completely different discussion!). Yes it *was* very repetitive but for me, it was all about spending a few hours with guild mates after a days work...what we actually did ingame wasn't that big a deal...at least once we all had lvl 50's in every class lol

    Bold, what being in an MMO really is about, the activities aren't what make the game, the people are.

    As for the game itself, sure i'd love to see it back, I enjoyed it and would be interested in playing it again.

    Help me Bioware, you're my only hope.

    Only if they did away with the dungeon creator and promised to deliver on content instead.  I'm completely tired of developers putting the burden of keeping the game entertaining onto the players via mission creators and PVP and that was the reason that I stopped playing that game, which I loved prior to all of that, in the first place.

    NC will never bring it back - they wouldn't have stomped it into the ground the way they did if they wanted to keep that option.

    There are fans though who are working on a modern not-so-clonish-that-NC-could-sue-us version of CoH.

    No, the game never appealed to me.

    I' d happily sub another six years, new or old.....

    If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.

    I miss my Mastermind.  Would love to see a remake of COH/COV!

    I loved it and would definitely play it, sub or otherwise.  I was rather disappointed in Cryptic's release of Champions as a competitor.  I felt the content and storylines of COH/COV were much more original and driving, even coupled with the repetitive game play.

    May the Chaos forever bind you to it's glory.

    I'd be all over it like a rash!

    Agree with either removing mission architect or moderating it or adding limits so people can't just create and then run farms all day long. That, more than anything else killed the game for me.
  • ElvocElvoc Member RarePosts: 549
    In a heart beat, wouldn't even matter if it had new content, I really miss it...
  • GladDogGladDog Member RarePosts: 1,097
    I would play it in a heartbeat in whatever form it was delivered.  If they were going to remaster it, that would be great!  There are a few things they could do to make it better though...

    As has been stated many times, a better random mission generator would be huge, instead of the same office complexes over and over and over...

    Rethink the secondary leveling systems so they don't fell so tacked on.  IO enhancements?  Yay!  Alpha incarnate slot?  Yay again!  Beta, gamma, etc incarnate slots that are mostly  time sinks?  Not so yay.

    They needed to do more stuff that showed off the outstanding XYZ combat that was in the game.

    More minor improvements,whatever.  The bottom line for me is that if CoH/V came back in any form that was close to what we had, I would cancel every game I am currently playing and sub for a year to CoH.


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

    Yes, especially if we get our old characters back. It is worth a sub fee.

    Judging from the responses it's amazing how the game still has a loyal following.

    Id definitely give it a shot if its P2P, hell I may even stay if its not made into some casual game. B2P id try it out as well, at least for a bit.

    Played that game at release and it was really repetitive and grindy tbh.. Soon after I sampled all the travel powers my interest plummeted. Still I had a blast making heroes, trying out powers, and group play was crazy. Still have screens of my first Task Force.
  • nariusseldonnariusseldon Member EpicPosts: 27,775
    Nope. If I am going to play a super hero game, i would much rather play known characters like Iron Man and Batman. 

    In fact, that is why I play Marvel Heroes, but NOT DC Universe.

    In a heartbeat.
