    Allowing groups of ten is a plus, I am waiting for a new MMO to launch which can only have two in a team and still call that "a group"; the way MMOs are going that will happen one day. :)

    This looks more like an alpha from 2001 to me. Watching that video it really looks like it's made up entirely of place holders and everything is super low rez. Is there a large group of players interested in this? Haven't seen much discussion about it anywhere.

    And why does the player keep running into walls like a drunkard? And why is there a table lamp popping out of the veding machine? And why does it give buffs? What the hell is going on in this video lol??

    Its capitalizing on the CoH fans who did not have a home, only now they do have a home. So Im not sure this will float. Couple of years ago I got to play it and was was not even a proof of concept. Im not even sure how big of a team is working on this. We know almost nothing but these random videos that show a very pre-alpha looking game.

    Really hope for them they will make the animations more fluid and the graphics better.
    It looks as if they are trying to approach the COH/COV but they are not there yet.
    COH/COV was one of a kind and I miss it a lot!
    It was the perfect super hero mmo and the best that ever existed even until now.
    Happy Champions Online still sticked around (even I'm not playing it at all) but even that one can't touch COH/COV by far.

    I've been having a lot of fun in this beta test. I'd advise everyone to just turn on superspeed, and run around the city. Or fly around. This is a fully 3D world, so if you see a streetlight, you can fly and land on it.

    It's obviously not from a AAA multi-million dollar game studio, this is a real beta from a small indie developer. They aren't selling "land" or "ships" in some future game. But it works well, they have made steady progress over the years.

    So far, I've had no lag, the controls are snappy and responsive, the powers work. My controller pet has good pathing and doesn't get stuck. The mobs are quick, and if they gang up on you it can turn bad quickly.

    Is it a finished and polished game? No. Does it provide a fun environment to play in? Yes.

    Not gonna be too harsh like many here lol.....I am on their forums, so I am sure they read the comments.

    Just like how superhero film genre was dead until Marvel, superhero mmo genre will be dead until Marvel truly gets behind the idea.

    They ducked out of what is now Champions Online, never really cared about Marvel Heroes......One day, maybe...

    I really don't know how I feel about Ship of Heroes. The only successful superhero titles have been button mashers or fighters, maybe these devs need to look there. A good mmo just takes so much time and money to make. I don't think anyone who is not Triple A should be making mmo. That is just my opinion.

    There is no current side scrolling superhero multiplayer game, not a side scroller with character creation.....Cheaper than mmo......There is an idea for some studio out there, you can pay me later......

    MMO are just way too crowded, to be picking out crowdfunded games out of the litter. These studios need to focus on something that nobody else is really doing, which means less competition.

    You won't survive in the mmo climate unless you are top notch, or at least, very different.
