WHAT IT IS:
A super hero action game where you play either as a hero or villain. The idea is to create your persona, how you want to create it, in the living, breathing world of DC Comics. That means Metropolis, Gotham City and other famous/infamous locales will make an appearance, but environments aside, it's the dynamic interest system that catches our eye. Instead of solely going on missions, DC Universe Online will generate missions on the fly based on events that are happening based on a few different types: Knockout, Secure, Transport or Protect. In one example shared with us, imagine us standing by as an armored car comes around the corner. From the hero perspective, that's something we should Protect while villains will want to Knock it out. This snowballs though based on what happens next; say the villains Knock out the armored car, now there's money bags that fall out that need to be Secured and cops that show up that need to be Knocked out. Considering this is inherent to the game's mission system, that's incredibly exciting. Of course, there will be instanced missions that players can tackle, but having other options is always good.
