    Default Is Cryptic already planning for Champions Online expansion/spinoff ?

    Full interview: http://g4tv.com/games/pc/40993/champ...h-Jack-Emmert/

    G4: That’s totally true. Speaking of villains, your players are strictly heroes in Champions Online?

    JE: Yes, they create nemeses who are AI controlled. PvEs, so to speak. If we were to do villains, I would definitely do it differently than we did previously and I would make villain gameplay extremely different. I think that was a mistake in City of Villains.

    G4: So, if you were to make – I don’t know what the opposite of Champions Online would be –

    JE:, Nemesis Online.

    G4: Nemesis Online! Is that something you've talked about?

    JE: Yes, we have. Look, if Champions is successful and people want that, heck yea. But, I think that I already have a very different idea in mind for that. I think in City of Villains, we were asked to make the game in about a year, and so we were kind of focused on “We gotta get this done.” So, we just took the template of City of Heroes and copied it. If I were to do it over again, I would create a very different type of gameplay for villain worlds.
    Nemesis Online... Cool name lol.

    So city of he- woops I mean champion online is announcing an expansion that includes being able to play villains? That is very shocking and very original as well.

    And, to me this is where CO fails, they should have made it that you can play a villian instead of just a hero in the game as then there would be human controlled villians. It's CoX all over again.

    I'm not entirely certain that it's a bad thing though. CoX with a different combat system though probably lackluster plotline would be at least worth a look. Then again..may not be worth the P2P tag. We'll see how it goes.

    Hmm, as long as it's not more expensive than CoX, I'll be willing to join into it. Though, it angers me that they aren't just including villains into the game.
    I mean, the idea and necessary creativity is already out there, why not put it in now.

    Now an expansion I'd like to see is City of Civ-err...Civilians Online. I mean imagine it, you're a civilian being hassled constantly by the villains and you have no super powers. I mean, the mission types write themselves. You can play the lawyer class and try to sue villains and then avoid being killed/kidnapped for a period of time and boom, finish the mission.
