DC Infinite Crisis (PC, Free to Play MOBA)

Info - https://www.infinitecrisis.com

A sudden assault threatens the DC Multiverse. All realities stand on the brink of annihilation. Now, the last hope for Earth lies in the powers of the DC legends.

Infinite Crisis (IC) is a next-generation, free-to-play MOBA featuring fast-paced battles, streamlined RPG mechanics, and iconic locations and characters from across the DC Mulitverse. Recruit a roster of powerful heroes and villains to command in destructive combat where catastrophic events can reshape the map and the environment itself can become a weapon.

Beta Signups - https://www.infinitecrisis.com/en/beta-application

Probably not alot of interest here since it's going to be on PC, but this seems fun and might get me more interested in a MOBA game because of the superheroes.

For people that don't know what a MOBA is, think DotA or League of Legends.

I couldn't tell from the gameplay video. Do I get to actually be Batman, or doi have to be Batman's buddy that I made up myself? Because that's what killed DCUO for me and what makes me skeptical of MMOs based on pre-existing settings like this.

I assume you'll be the actual heroes. Not too many listed here so far (and no normal Batman listed yet, but he's front and center on the webpage so i'd be surprised if the typical heroes aren't there)

This genre is always a disaster for me. I can only take so much abuse from other players.

Infinite Crisis (Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment)

WARNER BROS. INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT UNVEILS

INFINITE CRISIS

First Multiplayer Online Battle Arena Game Based on DC Multiverse to Debut Fall 2013

Players Can Register Now for a Chance to Participate in the Beta

BURBANK, Calif. – March 25, 2013 – Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment today announced Infinite Crisis, an all-new multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game developed by Turbine, the award winning studio behind free-to-play online games including The Lord of the Rings Online™. Infinite Crisis is a free-to-play game that features a deep roster of DC Comics characters and is scheduled for release in 2013 for the PC.

Infinite Crisis is a new entrant into the wildly popular MOBA genre that delivers a heart-pounding competitive player vs. player battle experience set in the legendary DC Multiverse - a world in which familiar DC Comics characters have been reimagined in startling ways. Featuring a wide variety of DC Comics heroes and villains, Infinite Crisis puts players in control of twisted incarnations of their favorite characters throughout the Multiverse such as Nightmare Batman and Gaslight Catwoman, playing in league with well-known characters including Green Lantern and The Flash.

“We are thrilled to bring Infinite Crisis, a truly competitive experience featuring the DC Comics lore and characters, to the MOBA genre,” said Martin Tremblay, President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “Turbine is a pioneer in online gaming and combined with the amazing world of DC Comics, they are executing on a game concept that expands the MOBA genre.”

“The Turbine team is very excited to reveal Infinite Crisis to the world and extend the MOBA genre with new features,” said Jeffrey Steefel, Executive Producer, Turbine. “We are utilizing years of experience in the online game space to deliver innovations to the MOBA genre with a game that features fast-paced action, a major story arc, destructible environments, catastrophic events and a deep roster of iconic DC Comics characters.”

For more information or to sign up for a chance to participate in the beta visit www.infinitecrisis.com.

This could potentially be interesting if it's done right. Seems like it's sort of similar to League of Legends only with a DC setting and characters.

Marvel Heroes isn't a MOBA though. It is a Diablo style game.

Unless you know of a Marvel MOBA that I don't, lol.

A catch: “Project PK” will release only in Asia in 2014, according to MMO Culture’s post

I didn't mean in the context of them being the same exact gameplay, but rather a massive online game involving numerous characters from their respective universes.

Re: Infinite Crisis (Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment)

I've got a "Preferred Access" code for anybody who wants to try this out in Closed Beta. All I ask is that if/when YOU get a code, you share it here on DVDTalk.

PM me if interested.

Re: DC Infinite Crisis (PC, Free to Play MOBA)

What the fuck is a MOBA???

I actually signed up at the beginning, got a code, an account, and downloaded the game last month.

I was lost. I tried to play but got stuck at the beginning. And thought it was "boring".

But they keep sending me emails to participate in the next window.

We should have a MOBA thread, but it stands for Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. Games like League of Legends, DOTA, DOTA 2, Awesomenauts, etc.

League of Legends is a MOBA and one of the biggest games available right now. I have only played a couple of Mobas on my ipad "Heroes of Order and Chaos" and "Solstice Arena". I lost interest pretty quickly. It seems awfully complicated and I usually suck at PvP games. However, since this one has DC heroes it may make the game more interesting.
