The developer of the company Sony Online will open some of the secrets of the new game on the superhero universe of DC Universe Online.
What is the DC Universe Online?
DC Universe Online - a massively multiplayer online game for the PlayStation 3. During the development of virtual worlds DC Universe (DCU), in which each player can play the role of hero or villain, we worked closely with renowned artists and writers of comics such as Jim Lee, Geoff Johns and Marv Uolfman.
What were the first task in creating the game and how were they resolved?
To create this superhero action movie, one of the main objectives was to develop a more spectacular and dynamic combat, the key role that physics plays. At the beginning of the game we spent a lot of time, doing exactly the solution of technical problems, and now we are pleased with the results.
At what stage of development of the game, it was decided that players will not be able to manage such key characters as Batman and Superman?
It was decided quite early. From the first day of our work we have sought to ensure that the players truly feel that they are in the world of DC Universe. And this world is a reality in which there are indeed well-known superheroes. Players must build them with their relationships and themselves to join the ranks of superheroes or supervillains.
Superman and Doomsday is very strong and vivid characters. How difficult was it to maintain balance and not destroy the illusion of reality in a world DC Universe?
Not as difficult as it might seem. In the end, the history of many characters intertwine. For example, in The Dark Knight Returns, written by Frank Miller is already quite aged Batman Superman faces and defeats him. It is these stories and interweaving stories make the world DCU so attractive.
World of DC Comics is constantly changing and evolving. How do you choose - the history of what exactly the characters included in the plot of the game?
At our disposal was the material that was created over 75 years, and, of course, it was difficult to decide exactly what we use for our game. In the end, we decided to create a perfect version of the world DCU. To start, we wanted to use characters such as Clark Kent - Superman, Bruce Wayne - Batman, etc., to attract the most wide audience. In what has been improved and some of the characters used in such great heroes, like Sinestro.
Will the game involve the most popular comics DC Comics?
In the course of the game, we realized that video games and comics, there are several different time conditions. As in the comics in one year can change so much, we decided to stick to his original plan. However,
dcuo gold bearing in mind that this online game, which will be periodically supplemented and developed, then, as they say, there is no limit to perfection.
For that creating a game development team feels special pride?
Firstly, for the development of the fighting, which displays a game of this genre to a new level. DCUO makes you feel connected with the character, but the realistic physics model allows the player to find himself in the world of superheroes. Secondly, the game differs a stunning development of the external world. Until today, this fantasy world could look only through movies and comics. Now you can immerse themselves in this virtual world, to fly over the streets of Metropolis and look into the dark alleys of Gotham. Wow, is not it?
