One Shots: Standing on the shoulders of giants

how do you get your game to look this nice? i have a beefy machine, and turn all the graphics settings up to max, and everything still looks low-rez. i see everyone else's screenshots, and i think i must be missing some setting...

@Altruist

Isn't that just the default, I haven't touched the settings on mine and in game for me everything looks like that.

I've been really enjoying the Beta of this game. I have already Pre-order it on both PS3 and PC. This is hands down the best Superhero MMO I've ever enjoyed.

Voice'd Missions and Mentors
Working with DC Heros and Villans is fantastic

Batman Mentor + Scarecrow = Awesomeness .... Every Mentor in the game has something to bring to the table, making the replay value of this game insane. =)

Anyone that has Plus for PSN can play this game it's a 14gig download, but worth it.

How can I download the Beta....?

I got my closed beta email a few weeks ago but the l;ink seems inactive and redirects to http://www.dcuniverseonline.com/ even if I am logged into my station account.

Also, oddly, I can see the forums and am registered and logged in but cannot post? People said there that if you can view the forums you can get the beta...

Long story short.... am I too late?

Funny... almost thought that was CoX for some reason.

They built the game with the UT III engine. They can bump the graphics wayyy up.

I thought it was City of Heroes as well... till I saw the 'S'.

Couldnt get into it. Nothing new, move along, nothing to see here.

And still this game will die a slow death. Its like they didn't listen to CB testers or something about the lack of max level content, character customization, etc.

Droves beta testers quit posting on the forums because they accepted the fact that SOE doesn't handle feedback. Trying to make this about "me" and not about the greater changes players were begging for to allow this game to survive the coming months is silly. To say that much of the CB feedback in a game is not used is reality. To ignore 99.9% of feedback that wasn't positive, glaring obvious or so game breaking that your grandmother could point it out is the definition of cherry picking.

People say a lot of good things in beta, people said plenty about FFXIV and much like SOE, SE ignored much of the CB and OB feedback unless it to their liking. You can see where it has gotten them. Still, I think first month sales will be good because people are always hungry to try a new MMO. However, I think we both know regardless in a couple of months once players start paying and realize that there is not anything worthwhile to keep you paying subs will go downhill. The game servers will start being condensed I bet within a year or year and half and eventually it will go the way of so many other SOE dinosaurs. They really had something special here but they decided to only get voice acting right not gameplay or content.
