Also over at GameSpy this evening is an interview with a bunch of the guys behind Cryptic Studios' upcoming massively multiplayer online RPG, City of Heroes. They cover everything from supervillains to teamplay. Snip:

GameSpy: Instead of the "Golden Age" of comics (bright tights and capes), you steered toward comics with a more modern sensibility. Talk a little bit about why you moved in that direction!
Jack Emmert: The Golden Age, and for that matter, the Silver Age, have ossified in our minds as a "better," "simpler" time. And so, we tend to assume that anything that visually matches those styles carry with it storylines that are likewise "simpler." But for a MMP to work, players need to take it seriously. They need to feel that the game and their characters have depth. Thus, we turned to modern-day comics for our Inspiration.
