Here is a video to start off the discussion. (Don't move this to Videos because this is going to be an overall discussion thread. We just don't have many details besides the video yet) Video: http://cdn-www.swtor.com/sites/all/files/vc/VD_20081212_VidDoc1_580x326.flv Source: http://swtor.com/media/vidcasts/viddoc001 Discuss.
This is epic win. The only thing I'm a bit dissapointed about is that they are working with EA, EA tends to make a few mistakes. (Map editor in BF2142 for example) It's been years and they still haven't released it! On topic: What do you think the secret is? I bet it has something to do with controlling your weapons movement.
am I right in assuming this is a PC only game? Still looks brilliant, but i would be more interested if it were for 360.
I would assume so, but with the recent RPG's and RTS's being moved onto consoles, it's possible that this could be a console game also. EA? Are you serious? They're not working with EA. It's just Bioware and Lucasarts.
I couldn't stand kotor on xbox, but I would have liked it on PC I think, which is where it belonged. The MMO looks pretty sweet, but I hope its very inventory/item based, as getting awesome items is something that makes character building fun. The only problem with MMOs is if not enough people play them, they aren't fun. I honestly don't see this being a problem with a KOTOR mmo, but you never know..
It would be epic if they made it both for consoles and PC, and had them all interconnected on the same servers. Like, you had it on PC and I had it on Xbox and we could play with each other (lol). If only
Kotor is one of my favorite games ever created. After watching that video I was so entranced that I sat at my screen for like thirty minutes it was ridiculous. EDIT: Watch the new video http://swtor.com/media/trailers/deceived-cinematic-trailer -Donuts
the second video looks sooooo epicccc!!!! i cant wait for this game! i just hope it doesnt turn out to be like WoW
This looks so amazing. I love Mass Effect, I love KOTOR, and I love Bioware. I can not wait for this game.
Not enough people play MMOs!! are you serious! look at how many people play WoW alone and add all the other top mmos and their members! If this games turns out to be good, then ppl might take a break from WoW and play this. BTW-Champions online is going to be awesome for the 360!!
I'm interested in it. It better not end up just everyone being jedi's. And it better not end up like Star Wars Galaxies. I miss you SWG... why did you do the combat upgrade?
Since all they've really release is that cinematic trailer I can't really expect anything yet other than comparing it to other MMOs. There are some downsides that can be expected though...like monthly payment, glitches like all other MMOs, graphic quality lowered because it is a MMO. Some things I can see come out of it is the era this is all taking place, a lot of classes, lots of exploration area, and lots of inventory. I hope its not like Star Wars Galaxy, that would be lame.
I thinkd it'd be the other way around everyone being siths I agree the one reason i don't play mmos is because you gotta pay monthly which is stupid. Whenever i need an mmo fix ill play maplestory.
No, he was saying that if not enough people consistently play an MMO, it will fail. Take a look at games like Tabula Rasa that fall apart because they don't get a big enough player-base. I honestly don't think that that will happen with this game though, because of the sheer number of people who love Bioware and love Star Wars. Star Wars Galaxies still has players, and that game is like 8 years old...
