star wars the old republicFollow

the new star wars the old republic game coming out looks like its going to be ALOT better that SWG. Im definately going to try it- I played SWG upo until the CU and quit after that. this new game sounds Amazing!
maybe a little competion wil make SWG better; or more likely TOR will put SWG out of business since they never listen to what the fans want; only continue to destroy a once fabulous game. go TOR! Its going to rock!

It LOOKS amazing....and no it will not be a compition for SWG for this main reason. It's a jedifest...those of us that play SWG SWG to Jedi. They start showing more classes than jedi....well then it will be a different story, but unless anyone sitting on the Dev shoulder getting thier info none have surfaced.

Actually, (and yes I did play SWG), they will be having other classes other than Jedi. Yes, Jedi will be the main draw, but the developers of the game have repeatedly stated in interviews that there will be content for those who do not prefer Jedi. As I work for the gaming industry, I will try to post updates as I get them within my legal bounds. May the Force be with you guys, always. :)

which, would never happen, since there gonna want at most a T rating.

but i do agree a game like planetside would be awesome, Star Wars isnt the universe we need for one, Warhammer 40K is.

well, technically some of those screens could be showing non jedi classes, but all we see are characters, we dont know whether there npcs or pcs, but there are shots with guys using not pringlecans (lightsaber handles still look like pringle cans i belive), but i suppose that doesnt even mean there not jedi.


whatever that is....

see i still dont know what your talking about, as there no game with that name.

are you talking about the old republic mmo, or are you talking about knight of the old republic?

oh ok, see i wasnt sure if you were talking about the mmo or just ****** KoTORs name up.

/facepalm

oh yea i forgot the T factor. well i'd give up the blood or dismemberment, "snare" should still exist as a crippled leg tho.

this game i have in mind still seems to be like 5-10 years off despite all the new consoles and how powerful the PS3 supposedly is they still can't or won't make a MMOFPS with all these combined. If planetside had a crafting system like SWG, player cities, housing, deco, economy, etc but in the end was a MMOFPS with RPG elements included (unlocking weapon certs, or w/e) + destructible enviorments and limb hit detection..

well then there's Huxley being developed but it sounds like Huxley's "MMO" factor is going to be nothing but a gimmick- 5000 ppl on one server but with 20 vs 20 instances (whats the point of having 5000 ppl on a server when they can't all play together?) its sounding like the only time 5000 players will be able to interact is in a glorified chatroom "city" where you get to plan your 40 player PvE raids in a FPS format and make the CYBZ or w/e it is social players do. hopefully i'm wrong..

but this seems to be the trend lately with game devolopers twisting the facts and boasting their game is a MMO- its like EndWar- they boast of thousands of players "playing" at once.. but the online matches are still like 4 vs 4...

just because their are thousands logged in but not able to play at the same time they think it gives them a way around false advertising their game as a MMO

Its a shame really, by limiting the game to a pvp jediathon, means it contains nothing of interest to me, i really dont know where people are getting the idea that this is going to be the 'next SWG' after seeing some of the screenshots too, i agree that the things do look like pringles cans, i can only guess that the graphics themselves are 'unfinshed' and that a size reduction is in order :D
