Will there be monsterous costume pieces?

Getting ready to leave City of *, and Cryptic has a fan in me.

SImple question, Will we see monsterous costume peices here at launch?

I would love to bring over my Legion of Test Rats from the begining.

I would think so, that was one of the best features in CoX

If you go to the main site and take a gander at the screenshots, I spy a pair of digitigrade legs. :D

...of course, whoever they belong to appears to be unconscious and mostly out of frame, but you can still see the legs!

[Test-Rat]

I think I missedd them the first time, was looking at the focus of the picture :P

Hopefully they won't just be NPC only but player avaialbe at launch!

I am hoping for these type of pieces as well, but we DO have to remember this is going to be really different then CoX. I am a true fan of both City of Heroes & City of Villains, but this is a different game, I can't wait to see what they do with this game. I am sure we will have the option for something 'monsterous', we just have to wait and see!

agreed, though i think that they would be gimping themselves by not intergrating features that where a huge hit in city of heroes and villians. what i would really LOVE to see is the level of power customisation, i mean they've mentioned color change, but it would be freakin sick if you were able to add or remove small particle effects, things like lightning arcing over your body (DBZ ripoff, but still an indescribably awsome way of showing your barely concealed power), or maybe a peter petrelli pre-nuke style glow eminates from your skin as flames begin to encircle your arms.... getting a bit off track, but you get the idea, very excited about this game :D

In the Game Informer article it says that bestial characters get different movement animations so I guess that implies wolfman/ratman/lizardman characters.

That´s certainly a matter of taste. I wouldn´t miss the hairy faces and demon feet, but
a lot of people seem to like them, so one could assume they will have their place in the game.

Let's see if we can get some MORE animals, other than the same mutated mammal and the generic dino-lizardnoid, though, haha!

I really hope so. My avatar is one of my favorite Champions RPG characters and I would love to make him up for Champions Online.

I'm hoping that we shall see some more beast/human hybrid pieces. I did spy what appears to be a Were Wolf in the background of Screenshot Seven, but it could be an NPC for all I know. I am mainly hoping for a different art style than the monstrous pieces in CoH/CoV, which I thought looked fairly ugly.

I am really hoping as well for the "monsterous costume pieces" this was one of my favorite costume pieces in CoX and was always trying to make their costume more "sweet" in every other way possible. Ya its Cryptic they are great at listening to the community so I think there will be the monsterous pieces once again, although lets wait and see what the devs have to say about this when the time comes.

[zohnnyg]

i hope cryptic uses all new art and not recycled stuff from cox. i also hope in character generation we get a better variety of body types like fat or 4 arms or 2 heads or deformed body parts or whatever crazy body types they think of.

[Heartsong]

I'm hoping for shapeshifting ability in CO. It just opens up sooo many possibilities!

In the Game Informer article it says that bestial characters get different movement animations so I guess that implies wolfman/ratman/lizardman characters.

Good find.

With all of the talk of how CO will bolster even greater customizational options than CoX, I am sure there will be monstorous costume pieces available.

Best regards,
Buu

Also, in the trailer, they quite clearly show a number of bestial/savage characters, so I think the answer is "Absolutely" ;)

I need green skin, horns and a metal jaw and I will be happy :D

I read somewhere on the main page that items and salvage (costume parts) can be added to your characters costume..not that it has anyting to do with the legs, but what costume parts are on the legs, armor/leather trinkets, etc.

Quick answer here, take a look at my avatar, its taken directly from the trailer

Also this is from a IGN article

Heres the quote from the article "You also won't be limited to just one standard movement animation. A werewolf man can be set to leap forward like a beast on all fours. Your hulking robot war machine can step into battle with suitably mechanical motions. That all-knowing master of the mind can float inches above the ground with his arms crossed in concentration."

So going to do a werewolf-like martial artist! :D
