The only thing I'm not too crazy of so far are the animations, like watching somebody swat another character with a car like a fly to watch him fall down a second latter. Stuff like that but I guess that's all inevitable in MM games...

Looks like most other console-type games to me, not that I've played all that many or kept up with bleeding-edge tech. Maybe it will get more fluid.

Super speed looks great but i'm not found of sticking to the walls if i suddenly stop halfway up the building - it should be you can run up them but if you do not make it to the top then you should fall for damadge - Depending on the lvl you are should determine how high a builing you can run up & maybe eventually have a move to where you can flap your limbs hyper fast to slow your fall for less or no damage - I will definetly pic title up for the PC & use my Xbox 360 controller & microphone - It seems fun to have characters i recognize tell me missions (like the video with sup's) - Where in CoH I rarly gave a crap about the story of my missions - the animations for the characters in the video do seems a bit stiff or robotic & the hit delay is very noticable but is not enough to distract me liking the direction the game is heading right now - The city graphics look very nice as well as the superheroes themselves - This game is probably not going to go the way Marvel Universe did because they are now showing us ingame footage which is alot more than MUO did - I still think the Marvel game is comming but just not until Microsofts next system - I see now why they cancelled it - I mean why pay all that money for Marvel license chars for a game thats going to come out at the end of 2009 or early 2010 when you have plans for maybe releasing your nextgen game console at the end of 2010 - that would not leave much time for Microsoft to cash in on the game - I'm expecting them to have it a near early release on Xbox 3 so they can cash in for many years & make it then worthwhile to pay marvel the big bucks to get there chars in a MMO :blink:
