DC Universe Online team will present at GDC Austin 2009

Am I the only one who can not stand these graphics? I love american comics, but it just looks terrible.

You are not the only one.

I'll stay with, "Games that look like utter crap" for a-thousand, Alex.

Abyss on earth?

I do agree that The Joker looks bad. The rest looks fine to me.

I get it... this is a joke image, from the Joker... right? They aren't serious are they?

Oh. Oh dear...

Where have you guys been for the past 6 months? That image of Joker has been floating around forever and your just now bitching?

At least bitch about something like there Back muscles of every single DC toon looks like they just finished a intense workout with them flexing.

I can stand the designs if the voice acting is good..... If there is no voice acting they can keep the game!

Hasn't that been the iconic image of the Joker since his original inception into the Batman comics way back in the 60's?

I'm not a huge comic book reader at all but I'm guessing it only makes sense to keep the characters recognisable to the general gaming public. Didn't Superman have some sort of recent makeover? If so I guarantee that won't be the same Superman in this game and rightfully so, the red and blue with the yellow 'S' emblem is instantly recognisable.

As for the graphics, while stylised they are quite impressive and at least appear to have some level of normal and specular mapping to them - more than what can be said for most MMO's.
