The game you are talking about is launching with just two zones, gotham and metropolis. Instead of the open power selection we have, their system won't allow a hero to have both fire and ice powers, for example.
For all the attention people pay to features like picking up objects, that is just a novelty. I wish I could turn off picking up objects in CO.
Villains! PvP! The videos of PvP gameplay don't look good yet, in one video it's just two players slugging it out back and forth slowly draining each other down (reminds me of CoX PvP, trading punches until one guy is slightly less dead). In another video the narrator dispatches his opponent by casting an electrocute type stun that holds the guy forever, haha. As for "villains!", if Cryptic had more ambition and saavy they would create a minimal villains faction for this game, since players only seem to care about the word "villains." People use their imaginations all the time, but I guess they feel silly pretending to be a villain unless the game labels them as such.
