A friend of mine is in the beta and he is loving the game.  I guess I'm going to pick it up when it comes out, even if I just play it for the first month

Are you sure he's in the beta? Jim Lee just said on Twitter that the beta hasn't started yet...

[electro]

No beta for me yet

This is what he's telling me.  He's in the DC beta & the Lego beta.  He could be in the VIP.

Still no word of when the beta starts

[Evil Phoenix]

Does anyone knows it would be free each month or not ? just its big problem to play games that cost money each month,almost impossible

[bat1987]

Its pay to play, 14.99$ a month.

[Evil Phoenix]

damn

[Evil Phoenix]

When Beta Would be Released ?

[bat1987]

Closed beta should be starting soon, open beta will prolly be near the launch to test the servers.

what is the difference between open and closed ?

[Reepicheep]

Closed beta generally comes first, where only certain, hand-selected players (such as oldest forum members, pre-order bonuses, those who have signed up for closed beta earlier on) have access. Open beta comes after, when everyone has access.

Personally, I avoid both and play the real thing.

[Evil Phoenix]

my english is not perfect ,you mean your not going to play full game ? or what

[lugaru]

Closed Beta: people the company choses get to play an unfinished version of the game.

Open Beta: pretty much anyone who wants gets to play a close to finished version of the game.

[JeyNyce]

So is anybody going to pick this game up?

[Reepicheep]

I just might, time permitting.

[MJB]

I'm still on the fence. I want to pick this up but there are a couple factors. I want to see how deep the character creator tool is. I'm also curious if a PlayStation Plus membership gets you a discount or what.

I have enough money on my GameStop account to pick this up. Just waiting to see if I get in the closed beta to kick the tires...

[bat1987]

I'm also curious if a PlayStation Plus membership gets you a discount or what.

I`m not entirely sure but I could`ve sworn that I read somewhere that it doesn`t, but like I said I`m not 100% on this.

[JeyNyce]

I want to get this game, but I can't see myself paying $15 a month if I'm not going to play it all the time.  I wish they had lifetime membership.  LOTRO & CO has spoiled me.

[Dr.Volt]

Soooooooooooooooo has the beta started then?

[JeyNyce]

No the beta has not started.  My friend is not in the beta.  He's in the Lego beta.  Sign up now for the beta, they might pick you.

[lugaru]

3 things will get me to buy this game

- Lots of visual options
- Lots of power design options (Champions Online has me really spoiled)
- A decent mission variety

Already I'm interested with the fact that you can make villains (I wonder when Champions will catch up with DCU and of course COX) and while I was not that interested in the DC universe before, I've been hooked on all the great cartoons and DVD's so now I would love to fight alongside the Justice League.

[Mr. Hamrick]

There is one thing that is bothering me about this game and I hope it will not be the case.

While I enjoy the thought of playing alongside Batman, what about the rest of "the Bat family"?  I don't mean specifically Robin.  I mean The Question, (both versions would be nice but doubtful its doable), Black Canary (sorta a spinoff via Birds of Prey), and others. 

More importantly, what if I want my character to be more inline with the likes of Phantom Stranger or John Constantine.  Especially Constantine.  I assume there will be magic based characters in the game as well as the ability to create magic based characters, right?

I keep thinking about this game as a great way to introduce the casual or even sporadic DC fan to some of the lesser known DC characters.  It's a great way to help garner interest in various potential DC movies and would help Warner Brothers perhaps be persuaded not to screw up with the DC stuff so much.  (ok, i can wish on the last part!) 

The point... while The Question and some lesser known DC characters have been included in the game... and I am assuming lesser villains... what will the role of the lesser known characters be.

[JeyNyce]

I would be excited if Static & Icon were in the game.

[Reepicheep]

I think it is very likely that most (better-to-mid known) DC characters are or eventually will be included in the game.

Not missions, only in special PvP arenas, although missions would be cool too.

[UnkoMan]

I read Ambush Bug and didn't have to read any more. Awesome.
Being a huge DC fan, I totally freakin' love this based on idea... and it's visually splendid. I don't know about play style yet though, obviously. The weapons focus thing is really weird. Do that many super heroes really have weapons?

Anyhow, I do hope for beta as well. Oh man, the Corpse hanging out with the Creeper would be awesome.

[Spe-Dog]

I've signed up to be part of the beta but have not heard back either way.  I am going to pick this up whether I get to be in the beta or not but I am on the fence as to whether to get it for PS3 or PC.  Any suggestions or preferences there?
