Is it time for a AAA super hero MMO?

I feel like a serious AAA super hero MMO would be excellent right about now, there's too many WoW clones, Champions Online and DCUO were not what they were made out to be.
We need something like a CoH 2.
And yes, I'm aware of the two indie super hero MMOs in development, but I haven't got my hopes up for those, indie MMOs usually end up being a disaster.

When all is said and done, more is always said than done.

There are certain queer times and occasions in this strange mixed affair we call life when a man takes this whole universe for a vast practical joke, though the wit thereof he but dimly discerns, and more than suspects that the joke is at nobody's expense but his own.

CO has that (even less ties on the hand than CoH had), both in power selection as in looks/costumes (recently added "escaped prisoner" theme for example can be gritty

That said, the game had some great customization but DCUO does almost as well (possibly better) in that department. Plus I think the PVP in DCUO is head and shoulders above what COH did. Even head and shoulders above most action combat MMOs currently as well. Also I really like how in DCUO they have a lot of content designed specifically for duos. Of course that's when I played it several years ago so I wouldn't be surprised if they made that content doable solo now.

Which is why another Super hero MMORPG isn't needed. Despite the lamentations of COHs greatness, at the time of its closure it was mostly dead.
People seem to forget this and somehow think NC closed down a successful game, when it was clearly on its last legs.
As a fan of virtual worlds I can't agree with a MMORPG full of Superheroes, just came across as silly back then, still does to me know.
OK I guess for.people who play "games"
That said, if we do have another hero game lets make it about flawed anti heroes such as "the Watchmen"

Only recently have we had an abundance of super hero TV series.
I don't even think it's possible to say that the super hero theme is more played out than the medieval setting has been lol.
I mean I understand your purpose of disagreeing in a lot of these threads, but that comment didn't really make sense imo.
I am still waiting for the FIRST one to arrive.I guess since all developer studios just hire old school ,same old same old,we can't expect too much in way of advancing the industry standards.
We need some new bright young people with creative minds and the willingness to do something great for the industry.I believe all over the world such young minds do exist,it is only a matter of time and the willingness of big pocket books to spend and take risk.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
This is why I only consider CoT and Valiance.
Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
As I see it is anything that stands out from EQ and Wow worth trying but I wasn't really that impressed by CoH. It felt a bit too cheesy for my taste.
(and they're still trying, that worths for something)
The world is going to the dogs, which is just how I planned it!
