'DC Universe Online' Wants To Be Your MySpace Friend
The DC comics-based MMO premieres on MySpace
Just last week, Jim Lee dropped some details on Sony Online Entertainment's MMO videogame based on DC Comics. We made a wish that screenshots would be soon to follow.
Well, consider that wish granted!
This week's batch of DC comics featured links to a MySpace page showcasing the first public images of the much-discussed game.
If you're eagerly anticipating the upcoming PC and PlayStation 3 game, then head on over to www.myspace.com/dcuo for tons o' details on DC Universe Online.
In addition to screenshots (which we've posted after the jump) the site also features developer interviews, Jim Lee concept art, wallpapers, and buddy icons. You might also want to add the social networking page to your Friends List because Sony is sponsoring contests for anyone who makes the game one of their "Top Friends."
But will DC Universe Online comment on my page about that time we got drunk and went to McDonald's at 2:00 AM? Good times.... good times.

After seeing Marvel give up on their MMOG, it would be great to see someone solve the dilemma of how to take a world of established characters and build a massive online gaming world around them. But if it's just individual adventures, then it's not an MMOG. It's a MSOG.

With the success of the Grand Theft Auto series, it almost makes me think that Rock Star will be able to continue their stunning success (both artistic and financial) almost indefinitely if they begin to develop open-world gaming environments with the help of licensed properties.
The truth is, GTA 4 sets the bar so high, that games like this one involving the DC Universe will have a hard time living up to the hype (as most games do).
