Cryptic is churning out Champions Online videos at a faster pace as of late, between this PvP trailer and the recently released character creation walkthrough video. Although that's probably to be expected with September a mere seven weeks away. We're pretty certain that everyone in the MMO house that superheroism built are feeling the pressure as of late.
Speaking of pressure, this new PvP trailer really does everything it can to make us feel it -- but in a good way. We'd say it succeeds int reassuring watchers that PvP will be exciting and dramatic in Champions Online. Our only suggestion for Cryptic would be not to stop here; keep expanding the Hero Games. It doesn't need to be crazy, but something tells us the current offering will only sate people for so long.
At the end of the day, it all really depends on having a fun, balanced and rewarding experience. Here's hoping there's plenty of reason to pound our superpowered buddies in the face come the month of September. Oh, yeah, you can find the full Giant Bomb-hosted trailer after the break.

"super hero game in a comic book setting" Oooh so heroes don't fight each other in comics? I guess you didn't read Marvels Civil War series then?
I didn't insult you I said your the one being a the Twat coming in here calling anyone who likes PvP a Twat; you started with the ad hominem attacks in your first god damn post and on top of that your idea of Heroes not fighting each other in comic books is wrong so kindly STFU.

I don't know if they could have presented a worse video preview than that. Seriously, 30 seconds of stiff looking animations packaged with cheesy graphics and voice overs is not a good sales tool.
This video definitely has me doubting the quality of the game. I was expecting to give this a try, but if this is any indication of what I can expect, i won't be buying it. Let's hope they can change my mind.

@ Wjowski
You want to be insulted? Ok. You idiot.
No place for "open" pvp in a super hero game? Wtf. Haven't you read a comic book. ALL THEY DO IS FIGHT ENEMIES.

And if you're a comic-book hero, then other heroes are not typically your enemies.
Wjowski may be irascible and unrepentantly rude, but when he's right, he's right.

Yes, heroes are fighting enemies - but rarely other heroes... and Champions Online won't have players as villains, only as heroes.
