NCsoft NorCal is proud to announce a new feature for the City of Heroes? and City of Villains? games; that of Visual Sounds. Visual Sounds are based on the comic book staple of onomatopoeia, or the use of a word to replace a sound. Classic comic book examples are ¡°Pow¡± and ¡°Ka-Boom!¡± in colorful bubbles while heroes and villains are slugging it out. City of Heroes takes a huge stride forward by replacing simple sounds with the exciting new visual medium of Visual Sounds.
