There's a bunch o' new videos for DC Universe Online that have been coming out of CES. The first one from Allakhazam is the longest at 10+ minutes and covers a lot of the same ground as the three shorter videos from Gametrailers (about five minutes each).

The game looks a lot better that it did in earlier videos and I'm liking what I'm seeing so far on how characters develop and play. Also, using acrobatics to leap onto the side of a skyscraper and then stick there is enough to get my socks rolling up and down in excitement. Metropolis also looks much cooler than CoH's generic mishmash of buildings and nonsensical street layouts. This one is looking better than Champions now, IMO.

I still like the look of Champions better, but DC does look a lot better than it did several months ago.

I don't dislike the concept of cel shading but I'm not convinced that Champions Online has used it to good effect.
