Shouldn't they have done beta months ago if the release date was November?
Bad planning?

Surprise, surprise.
The Punisher: I’m going to cauterize your rectum, sealing it shut, so when you turn those delicious Pink Pants™ Fruit Pies into waste products the bilirubin in your feces will leach into your bloodstream and you’ll die screaming! And I’ll watch while having sex with this grateful prostitute!

I can't say I'm too shocked by this. SOE doesn't have the best reputation for MMO quality, and when I played the game at SDCC '09 I wasn't impressed with the way the game handled or was structured. I've been hoping they'd been ironing out a lot of the kinks, but reports like this don't lend much to hope.

<== IS TOTALLY SHOCKED....
Why can't they just spit out a game or two like Ultimate Alliance? X-Men Legends? Those were fantastic games.
Thanks GOODNESS for Arkham City

Damn I knew Jim Lee was in charge of the game but I didn't know Image was in charge of shipping.

Because SOE doesn't do non-MMO console games?

More like lousy predicting. The game has been in development for like five years, that goes a bit beyond lousy planning. Originally Posted by Brandon Ford Dodds

O man, more bad news for DC fans. Does bad news come in threes? The third being the end of DC Direct and Mattel possibly taking up all their slack and eliminating character selections in DCUC to just A-list(Superman/Batman/Lantern) stuff in 2011 and beyond.

Ugh. Not like the game's been rushed or anything. Unless Lee was late with all the design work he was doing. >.> Originally Posted by StoneGold

I doubt it. More like it's been delayed a billion times already, why not one more? For that matter, has there ever been an MMO that hit deadline? Wait, let me rephrase that, an MMO that hit deadline that wasn't unplayable due to bugs? Originally Posted by G. Wayne

Figures. I had a feeling they were going to delay it further. Good thing I'm not all "psyched" about the game. Though I am looking forward to it. I want to make a Batman-like character. (minus the crazy gadgets and bat costume)

I'm sort of relieved in a way. Not only was I worried about the quality of the game upon release given the lack of a formal beta phase up to this point, but I have so many other games that I need to play right now that there was just no way I was ever going to get through them all once DC Universe Online came out. Now I've at least got a few more months to whittle down my "Games I Still Need To Play" list a little bit more before this one hits the shelves.

Then again, if they release it this year, wouldn't that make it easier for the developers to find the bugs and fix them? I know they have the beta for it, but still. Originally Posted by Hawkman
