City of Heroes - Going Rogue HQ Trailer

[aefwfeful]

can somone please make a video on how to make maelstroms costume

[bobblesworth]

fuckkkk i just paid for something that should have been free 20 issues ago

plus the fact i need to watch a tutorial video to learn how to go rogue because pit is the most uniformative contact in the game

[cctrent]

Hah!  City of Heroes is for fags and losers! WOW totally owns this piece of shit garbage! Catacalysm hasn't even fully come out yet and I bet the recent patch totally owned whatever boring new shit Going Rogue put in.

[VideoQuestEx]

Cool: never seen this CG video before.

[MindstormXL]

Just you wait Marcus Cole, or should I say Tyrant cause we are going to take you down, Paragon City style!

[maestro48239]

This Expansion Breathed new life into a great MMO. great content, the ability to turn heroes into villains and vice versa. and then you have Praetoria! beautiful world, cant wait til they add more content and perhaps a few TF/SFs

[kannonistic]

A slow clap played in my head at the end of this vid. Im glad they came out with this. Hopefully this inspires some new fans an players 2 get on and the old ones 2 come back. I know Im comin bac.

I remember in '07 when this game had a bunch of heroes/villains coming out the woodwork and ppl really got into it. I want those days bac.

And b4 the smart comments start rolling, Im 19 in the military and a good amount of friendz, not the fat couch potato loser some r probably are visioning.

[mechtech104]

omg wow. im surprised this game is not free by now. ncsoft needs to give it up they are proboaly not even making a profit off of it anymore. they should just make the game free. and fucking stop with the stupid ass monthly charges. lotro online is free and its newer that COHO

[LordMoonshadowGaGa]

@mechtech104 Not making a profit eh? That's funny because last I checked, people just bought this expansion with pre-orders and prepurchases. As well as the Boosters, the Wedding Pack, and the Architect edition. If you don't want to pay to play, then you should stick to Free Realmz.

[mechtech104]

@LordMoonshadowGaGa well look at the graphics... not as greay as compared to 2010 graphics. clearly people r wasting there money

[LordMoonshadowGaGa]

@mechtech104 No. Clearly you are wasting your time complaining about a game you're too cheap to pay for. Runescape is the number 1 MMORPG game in the world and it's graphics are worse than Gaia Online. Play the game before you decide wether or not it's good or not.

[mechtech104]

@LordMoonshadowGaGa but runescape is free isnt it? this game is not even worthy of an addon. who ever buys this is wasting there money.

[LordMoonshadowGaGa]

@mechtech104 Actually Runescape isn't free. There are free memberships which just allows you to access Lumbridge, Falador and Varrock. Then there is the Members membership which allows you access to everything. No one is wasting their money. Those "free" MMO's are a waste. Without anyone paying, you're stuck with the same old game forever while the one that charges a simple under $10 fee is using the money to expand the game in new ways.

[mcheer15]

I love this game! Going rogue is the best city of heroes expansion ever! Who's with me?!

[TheCrisray1001]

ok i got a quick question CoH or WoW which one is better? im on WoW for now

[earthworm768]

@TheCrisray1001 difficult to tell :/ I played CoH first, and yeh it was fun i mean, your a super Hero :D But them i moved to WoW, i cant really remmeber why. I think i got bored of CoH ( the xp debt is really annoying, and makes leveling slow, which didnt help) But yeh, I been with WoW since for a few yearsand i havent stopped yet. Yeh im getting a little bored now (kinda gotten to the point where i have to raid to gear up now), but the expansion is out soon ^^.

[jrit93]

@earthworm768 raiding to gear up is the shit, if u cant do icc10 ur shit in wow

[redhook4]

@TheCrisray1001 COH is better in my view, User created content, moral choices that matter, very very very in depth customization, hundreds of power set combos, many missions that make you fill like a Villain or a Hero, Cool Moral ranking system (Villain, Rouge, Neutral, Vigilante, Hero)

[DiddyPeewee]

So epic and it goes live on Tuesday 17th August 2010!!!!!!!

CITY OF HEROES RULES!!!!!!

[D4RKM0153]

They made me these way.... QQ

[jergsden]

Maelstrom: "Hey States, your ass is lookin' mighty fine in them tights today! Gonna break off a piece a face-helmet baby! Yeah!"

[chiggz]

Soooo apparently were getting whips with Demon summoning now as well!!! Man o Man I really really really hope its a full primary or seconday set. We need a true Melee set, ie Whips, staffs/pikes Be sweet. Also loving dual pistols although I wish they;d give us SOME options for different animations on some of the powers.. Prolly just me though :p

[jergsden]

The only downside to that is the brand new crop of petless MMs that will be rolled if no other Arch gets a whip. I'm so glad I solo 99% of the time lol.

[Kylentina]

It looks like they might have a few of the heroes and villains switch 'sides' so to speak. Personally, I can't see how this won't be awesome.

I love great kerfluffaling in games.

[callac]

I really hope a lot of new maps and enemies in this Expansion cause after 2 years playing I feeling out of good surprises.

[konkor100]

one of the guys looks like a spartan

[Loanet1]

This looks too awesome for words. TOO awesome.

[YourMindslush]

GREAT! FANTASTIC! please - make enough publicity, becauso this can have a future

[Steeple2007x]

I am so jacked for this

[Zakisback1]

im surprised about statesman changing sides because in the original trailer u see him from the 30's to now fighting for good and then in this trailer he changes sides

[Cory22isinthehouse]

thats tyrant not statesmen guys

[RealArcalian]

@Zakisback1 It's his evil universe counterpart.

[Zakisback1]

oohhhhhhhhhhhh right. ty i didnt know that

[alexthegood78]

thats the other world's (kind of) statesman (tyrant)

[swardinc]

yea im wait to reup at I16 or going rogue

[Kokoro562]

I'm still SO surprised at ncsoft's loyalty to CoX! Not only do they still after all this time release expansions, but they still make sure to provide new patches and stuff.

[TrickstaJT]

CoX Forever <3

[josephgrovers]

I love cox.

[CYCI0N3]

isn't this out for beta? how can u test it it looks AMAZING cant wait for it!!!

[TrickstaJT]

Nope, not yet - Don't think there will be a test either because its a seperate expansion like City of Villains. Most likely will be limited beta codes that they will hand out.

[Shazrand]

Statesman is such a douche, I hope he croaks.

[wizforhell]

yea he really dosent do anything at all does he...

[JackRabbitBeyer]

Wait, villains has different power sets than heroes and vice-versa. So will a Mastermind be able to turn good and remain with the same powers? Will CoX have all sets of Villains and Heroes together? We might be able to create a MM hero!!!

[TrickstaJT]

No, you create a MM Villain and by the choices you make, you would be able to turn Hero. AFAIK its impossible to create a Hero MM out of the box.

[MasaruKato82]

This video is so wrong...

I read in the net that Desdemona (the girl) is a villain turning hero, and Maelstorm (the guy with the gun) is a hero turning villain.

And, well, there's all that "blue halo" and "red halo" to confirm it.

continue ---->

[MasaruKato82]

---->

But the things they said made me think it was the opposite!

She's all "yeah, good vs evil, blah blah... you know, it's not that simple": a line usually used by those who are questioned about their ethics.

And he looks like a cyborg (something wrong with his breathing and his heart in that technological armor) and says "They made me this way. They thought I would serve them.": it sounds like they (who're capable of such things) are the bad guys!

Very confusing...

[TrickstaJT]

Well it makes sense to me:

Desdemona probably didn't like killing anyone anymore or she felt sympothy and merciful in which she thought that what she was doing was wrong.

Maelstrom could have been transformed by a group maybe like Longbow, but the experiment went horrid and he was trapped inside his armour forever?

There's always a logic.

[MasaruKato82]

Yeah, I guess that's how it went.

I'm just saying that if you want to explain a story and give two examples in 8 seconds, they should be clear examples, that's all.

[Luis71711]

WTF??? WTF HOW THE HELL DID THEY COPY ME????

When I first bought this game, CoV/CoH, I always thought they should make a City of Rogues, and now they make this EXPANSION!!!???

OMG NCSOFT ARE MIND READERS!! :)

[sourmushroom4]

Pure sexiness

[BlowTheKillerAway]

I can not WAIT!

[NOforYOU1]

holy frick this is sweet lol

[eaustin10]

how the HECK is this innapropriate for children? im not even a teen and theres nothing wrong with this vid

[MisterDax]

Well it says "MAY contain content inappropriate for children" and I'm sure there is at least few 'concerned parents' (read: cunts) trying to censor the world from their "precious" and "fragile" children.

[pachowwy]

whats funny is by 5th or 4th grade kids are no longer "innocent" or "fragile" lol

[bryn27926]

anyone know the release date?

[nightofraven]

2010 may lol

[bryn27926]

what.......

[sypher889]

just so i let everyone know this is what will be confirmed,and the general consensus is all about: praetorian map, heroes and villains can go to each side, a new rogue metre detailing how you become hero or villain, 2 new powersets, demon summoning and dual pistol wield, 2 new characts desmonda and maelstrom, new costumes and parts, new auras and new enemies, and quite possibly power customization(not too sure but its a big dark horse to beat champions) so there you have it :) enjoy!

[Smartass3995]

Epic.................

[throwupandshutup]

ahhh, they just made this so that everyone won't quit on them when Champions comes out. They gotta do something bigger than just this.

[sakurashXsasuke]

one of my friends tested out champions and said it sucks so not everyone is going to champions if they share that opinion

[alexb136]

what are you simple? i think you are forgetting who made Champions, lol dont talk about things you know nothing about. =)

[TheUndeadSteve]

while cryptic did start City of Heroes as well, only one member of the CoH team, Jack Emmert, is working on Champions.

And Jack leaving was the best thing to ever happen to CoH in most's opinions.

[pachowwy]

why was his leaving good? I stopped for awhile (far behind)

[TheUndeadSteve]

I have been expecting something big for months...i thought it was the mission architect, but then i saw this.....

Paragon studios, you have completely blown my mind

[zikten]

I was going to quit, but this changed my mind. I've been wanting this forever

[pachowwy]

tomorow im goin to play again. patches take for ever!

[TrickstaJT]

Welcome back :D

[pachowwy]

oooooh i might start palyin again!

[jamster48]

i still dont get it are they switching sides now or somthing?

[TrickstaJT]

Yup, Heroes turn Villains - Villains turn Heroes.

But when you switch sides, you can switch again - But there will be a penalty.

[Meshehetube]

whats the catch?

[left4deadzombiessss]

im getting it monday

[LordMakaze]

I'm hoping they update the graphics and play speed

[vloxs]

I am so coming back to COH & COV

[BillyChaka]

LOL me too, man

[Garrett203]

I wonder what Lord Recluse and Ghost Widow will look like

[nstevens5773]

I'm not sure if there will be new pwersets. It'd be nice if it were free since we're already paying 15 bucks a month for the game.

[grandmasterken123]

Dual wielding pistols and Demon Summoning are the two I've heard about. It takes place in Praetoria.

[TrickstaJT]

Pistol-Wielding (Blasters, Corruptors) and Demon Summoning (For Masterminds) have come up as an idea, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

[Erikjust]

Says that this trailer might be inappropriate for child.

What exactly is so inappropriate about it? i haven´t seen anything on it that even remotely could be disturbing to a child.

[masearoo12]

i really hope that in the new game there are new power sets and more power costomization like the color of your power would be nice although im going to be playing champions online so i dont think i will get this game

[jgriff12345]

dang i havent been able to play Coh or Cov for a year now but since i saw this i gotta play again! i been waiting for something like this! =D

[DarkArsinal]

So buying this game when I comes out, I been playing coh since it came out

[bjs13579]

LOOKS FLIPPING MINT

[torylva]

this look freaking awesome

[TrickstaJT]

If villains are allowed to cross over to Paragon City and vice versa, would that mean that badges would carry over?

or would you lose all your villain badges until you decide to go back? Will be difficult to program.

[TrickstaJT]

And why does Statesman have no cape? ;o

[balric1]

Orginally he had no cape when capes were not avaliable. It could be something from the past...or they could have just been lazy.

[dinner2dr]

Edna said No capes

[Jordans529]

lmao

[Sclark369]

hell ya dinner

[StuartTheGamerNerd]

FINALLY!!!!.....Masterminds can be good!

[SamIAm92]

Can't fucking wait! XD

[Madelineblooddoll]

looks cool, hope there's interesting changes in the actual story too with all the characters shown... but hopefully all the big things that are needed like that possible 12 slot thing and any costume pieces are going to be soloable and not that taskforce nonsense. If this new hypothetical "Level 60" means an end game like WoW then forget it.

[throwupandshutup]

Holy shit, does this mean My villains can redeem themselves and become heroes or something.

[RagnaroekChaos]

...Looks like it....That would be awsome lol....I read that there will be villians in Paragon and heroes on rogue isle etc. That'll add a lot of depth into your characters....AND thinking about it....think of a good stalker....or an evil blaster.

WOW (I don't mean Wold of Warcraft just wow)!

[TrickstaJT]

Yeah, but I think they won't allow Epic ATs to move across - I mean,

Arachnos Soldiers working for Longbow?

PeaceBringers 'bringing' destruction?

I don't think so xD

[RiskoVinsheen]

Warshades... and there have been evil Peacebringers.

As for Arachnos Soldiers being good guys. Arachnos people are ALWAYS fighting themselves.

[Sparx1]

YAY! Now the villains will know what it's like to not even be able to walk into a PVP zone without a stalker coming out of thin air and killing them instantly...

[dusty668]

In Warburg, everyone is stalker meat.

[TrickstaJT]

Well, from Energy/ Stalkers anyway.

[balric1]

Including Stalkers, meaning Stalkers eat their own...and themselves...I bet if s Stalker could use AS on themselves...they would at least once.

[TrickstaJT]

Lol, personally, im loving my PvE stalker right now - But im not taking her into PvP

[GANZOP]

yep

[PrimetimeD]

So I've been out of CoH for a bit, and I don't recognize a couple of the characters. Who is the chick at the beginning, and the guy who cocks the pistol?

[TrickstaJT]

They are the new characters coming with this new release. The man with the pistol is Maelstrom, a pistol-wielding hero gone rogue, and the woman is Desdemona, a demon-summoning villain who has been redeemed.

For more information go to the City of Heroes official website.

[PrimetimeD]

Cool, thanks!

[Indiwake]

this looks tight but holy shit this is a bad preview.

and yes ive played the game for 5 years so dont ask ;)

i am very much looking forward to it though!

[Cyberpuppy63]

Bad preview?!

I have a heroine based off of this premise, so it's not that far from "impossible" to imagine...

[SamIAm92]

I don't think that's what Indiwake meant. I think Indiwake meant that it just doesn't really tell us much about the game except about the grey lines in between heroism and villainy. Like, is there gonna be a whole new character group in addition to hero/villain? Are you going to be able to play in the Praetorian (probably spelled it wrong) universe? Just stuff like that.

[Cyberpuppy63]

Good point.

But, to answer your question - I don't know the intended purpose of Rogue HQ...

[TrickstaJT]

Yes, you are able to enter Praetoria as the whole point of it is to have Heroes + Villains (Coop Zone) fight together to defeat a whole Praetorian world.

[dusty668]

They should have let Samuriko do it, what she does with just demo record means you gotta hit the hospital to get your jaw back on.

[TrickstaJT]

If your talking about this trailer, I highly doubt she would have produced something like this :P Animating movement etc

She uses Demo Record to use the animations 'ingame' not from scratch.

[dusty668]

Making a video is not just technique, and tools. She plays the game, likes it and it shows, not just a dev team with a budget and an ad agency.

And the previous campaign for AE, I still get nauseous just thinking about it.

[IsawaMitaka]

SO looking forward to this!

[TrickstaJT]

Hell Yeah! :D

[jaksargent]

oh yeh this looks so cool!

[ManicOne80]

fuck yea!
