SDCC 2010: DC Universe Online Trailer is Finally Here, and It Was Worth the Wait

As you know, i'm not one for hyperbole. 

Something like fourteen minutes after I first clicked play on this new cinematic teaser trailer for DC Universe Online, I woke up naked in the town fountain. I don't care to know what happened in between. If you're a DC comics fan and a gamer, don't even bother buying a 2011 calendar. It's all going to amount to this, a few dozen showers, and vitamin supplements. 

Here's five minute of nogginsplosion from the good people at WB Games, DC Entertainment and Sony Entertainment Online. 

 

The game is expected to debut in November for the PS3 and Windows PC's.

    I’m trying to convince my girlfriend to buy me this for my birthday (Nov. 5). I’m not sure if she understands the consequences of what may happen.

    But everyone: SHHHHHH!

  3. Luthor Luthor says:

    I liked leaving the house occasionally.  I really did.  I’ll miss it once this game comes out.

  4. fnord fnord says:

  5. redlibertyx redlibertyx says:

  9. TheEvilCory TheEvilCory says:

    Oh no! There goes my senior year of college…

  10. Shadowhelm Shadowhelm says:

    JohnnyStooge – Happy Early birthday!  Mine is also Nov 5.

    I am not sure I like what I saw in the trailer.  I know I hated all the armor, but it seems like the story is pretty interesting.  Anyone know if that was Mark Hamill doing The Joker?

  11. Paul Montgomery PaulMontgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    @Shadowhelm – That’s Mark Hamill alright. 

  12. Ali Colluccio WonderAli (@WonderAli) says:

    oh. my. god. 

  13. JFernandes JFernandes says:

    It’s pretty and all, but game trailers are absolutely useless without gameplay footage.

  14. My god this looks awesome. If the gameplay is as good as this trailer is, then the game will be phenomenal.

  15. ludusmaximus ludusmaximus says:

    Really cool mini CGI cutscene/mini movie, but yeah, you can’t play as any of those characters, and the in game graphics will look very mmo like.  Look at the original trailer, expect something more like that.

  16. redhood22 redhood22 says:

    there goes any chance of me getting a girlfriend

  17. joeislive says:

    That does look awesome.

  18. tazz says:

    LOL..love the fools who say their nor impressed just too sound cool and different.  That was freakin awesome..the game play will be the question.

  19. jackalope21 jackalope21 says:

     

    Why can’t the DC movies be this good?

  20. LukeB LukeB says:

    Looks amazing, hope to able to be on the same servers as those in the US and have the ping be good….. please let time allow for me to play this game :D

  21. muddi900 says:

    By the way, the beta signups are up on the website on both platforms, so try it out!

  22. Flounder Flounder says:

    Ummmm….  Wow.  I only hope the game is half as good as the trailer. 

  23. smeeeeee smeeeeee says:

    How the hell am i suppose to pass all my classes when this thing comes out right before finals?!

  24. RaBoogie says:

    I just peed a litle.

  25. Looks like my mum was right: My life is going nowhere. As soon as this comes out anyway.

  26. reg5000 reg5000 says:

    If this wasn’t an MMO it might make me buy a PS3. Fortunately for my wallet I don’t play MMOs so this won’t be on my list. Awesome story though. Loved Batman’s battlesuit.

  27. I don’t know if anyone else has realised this yet, but… that’s Kevin Conroy reading lines written by Geoff Johns! Fanboy overload!

    guess i can kiss my social life goodbye come november

  30. CaseyJustice CaseyJustice says:

    I’m doomed. That was maybe the coolest thing ever.

  31. Give me a single player campaign and I’m in.

  32. PostMan87 PostMan87 says:

    I thought this was going to be a PC online game only (such as WoW), but now that it’s coming to PS3 I may consider it.

    @JumpingJupiter – I completely agree. That’ll be the kicker for me too. 

  33. LadyTartan LadyTartan says:

    Holy crap. I may as well quit my job and drop out of school now.

  34. MoniBolis MoniBolis says:

    I don’t want to play it, I just want to sit next to someone who is playing it

  35. pretty sad when WW is the manly one. Story seems pretty weak for all the hype and the "future" heroes look stupid. <–Disappointed

  36. stasisbal stasisbal says:

    That was cool and all (though some of the voice acting and animations were a bit stiff) but trailers for video games that don’t show any gameplay don’t do much for me.  I appreciate the scope they’re going for and as a comic fan the idea of the game sounds awesome but at the end of the day the game needs to be fun.  This video shows me nothing and the gameplay footage I’ve seen in the past didn’t look so hot.  I hold out hope that everything will come together but won’t be convinced by a promo trailer.

  37. har13quin har13quin says:

    How was Wonder Woman manly?

  38. Hush6830 Hush6830 says:

    my social life has been over long before this game will be released. but at least now when I’m crying alone in my room on friday nights I’ll be able to have fun while doing it.
