E3 2011 News ~ DC Universe Online

More from E3 2011! Sony Online Entertainment has released a new gameplay trailer for their super-powered MMO, DC Universe Online. And it looks like all comes back to that old war-time saying, "The Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend".



In an interviw with IGN, Game Director Mark Anderson reveals what players can look forward to Game Update 4; which is set to be released  later this year:

If you're into all things Kryptonian, I think you'll be very pleased with not only Game Update Four but also the next few updates. We've got to give the Man of Steel his due, and he can't be contained to a single update. To start off, we take you to the Fortress of Solitude where Brainiac continues on his march to absorb all that the Earth has to offer. With an army at his doorstep, Superman needs all the help he can get to stop Brainiac from using the powers of his home world against the people of Earth, even if it means developing a fragile alliance with one of his greatest enemies. This is the start of our next series of 8-player group content, and it's got some really jaw-dropping stuff.

The MMO Spotlight ~ EverQuest II: Children of War

Yesterday marked the release of Sony Online Entertainments 60th free game update for Everquest 2. Much of the new content is targeted at end-game players looking to challenge themselves, including 4 new raid zones. Here's a look at some of the new content...


 
If you're more of a PvP kinda player, the new additions and improvements to the Battlegrounds system look promising. A new battleground map and match type “Vanquish” are now available. The new Champions’ Respite lobbys (accessable by portals near existing battlegrounds NPCs in major cities) are up and ready to allow players to organize pre-match and create cross-server battlegrounds groups.

There are also new Heritage Quests and Tradeskill missions to explore.  And did I mention that Ratongas have been spotted in Qeynos?
